I got the Krogan Vanguard a week ago or so. I heard Rage was broken on him, so I figured there wasn't going to be a massive advantage to him over my melee-crazy Krogan Sentinel. Boy was I wrong. 

Spec'd for survivability (rather than melee damage like my Krogan Sentinel) and jesus... It's almost obscene. I was standing right in front of an Atlas (on Silver) with my Piranha, just taking my time killing the thing. :innocent: It was ridiculous. I felt like someone was going to report me for hacking because it just seemed like I could—not—die! (I actually did on Wave 11, but that's hardly the point.)

So, yeah. Just thought I'd share that. The class is built like an, um, tank. (I guess that's the point, huh?)

I can charge into multiple Cerberus Turrets on my Kroguard on gold, and it results in multiple exploded Turrets and one live Krogan.

Pretty much the only thing that kills me is Sync Kills, and really only from Banshees since I can stagger Phantoms with Biotic Charge, and Atlas/Brute is pretty easy to avoid.

[Black Phantom]

He's pretty ridiculous on Gold as well. If not for cheap sync kills the Kroguard would be immortal vs all factions instead of just the Geth. (they have no instakill)

[AscendantWyvern]

Yeah, kroguard is a wonerful tank, brushing off all but tge worst of hurts. Even when your shield is down, just charge for em to return

That said, watch out for instakillers.

You can tank with the Krogan Vanguard on platinum. For lolz, do it on FBGiant's ramps.

Drop the Force and Damage and replace it with Radius, also drop the Predator.

Agreed, he can already stagger everything he needs to stagger, and you're not counting on the Charge damage, just it's Barrier recharge and the weapon bonus (depending on your preference). 

It continues to mystify me that I don't run into more Kroguards on Gold.  He's the only proper tank in the game.  I get really excited when I see one and immediately switch over, all the better for ceremonial congraluatory headbutting after another successful wave. 

Sometimes I wonder if the Rage tree is broken on purpose.  If he could get the Rage damage resistence, he'd be even more impossible to kill.

Something I've noticed with him is he appears to move faster when he light melees. When it comes to the pizza delivery objective I pick it up and light melee my way to the extraction point incredibly quickly.

One of the best classes in the game if not the best simply due to being one of a kind; a true tank.

Yeah, I just wanted some lightweight POS to use on a Hack where my Shotgun/Charge would be ineffective. I feel like an idiot when I'm carrying around nothing but short-range weapons and can't do anything useful when range is called for. The impact it makes to my Charge cooldown isn't massive, so I figured it wasn't hurting me to have it, just in case. (Not on Silver, anyway.)

I've heard Krogan get staggered to death by Primes, though, so that makes me a little nervous.

Probably my favorite character... certainly my go-to guy

So very much fun!

clarification on krogaurd rage: damage reduction, extra shields/HP and passive melee all work as intended. only thing that's bugged is the melee bonus in rage mode.

slap on a cyclonic mod and you'll be near invincible, even in gold (platinum...not so much)

[Yosuke]

Quite fun tanking two or three primes at a time; one of the more enjoyable experiences in me3 multiplayer.

No Rage doesn't do anything on the Kroguard.

Em..

Krogan Vanguard Rage
- Rage doesn't do anything other than change the color of your screen and make you do happy Krogan laugh animations.

It's also incredibly obvious that the 30% (45%?) damage reduction isn't present on a Kroguard in Rage during gameplay.

Kroguards are immune to stun lock, unlike the other Krogans.  You can literally stand in front of a Prime on Gold and do pretty much whatever you want.

Still near invicible even on Plat, tried it for the first time tonight (and there's an active thread right now).  I think he needs a Cyclonic Modulator III or IV on him to do it, but tanking works great.   Just have to watch out for instakills.

[OooleM]

Some friends and me did a all Kroguards with Scorpions match (FB Dagger/Geth/Gold).. It was epic fun! Plant a couple exploding lightbulbs -> Charge -> Hevy melee -> Geth confetti! And those poor Primes, lights up like christmas trees when 4 players cover them with Scorpion rounds

[Eelectrica]

Kroguard is my go to character as well.
About the only time I die was when tanking the entire Geth gold army, and a barrage of rockets and prime blasts hit at once. which occasionally does happen.

[Death8the8Kid8]

The DR Rage on my Kroguard works fine for me... It takes the Prime an extra two shots (I believe) to take my barriers down on Gold with my Rage than without.

What does a cyclonic mod have to do with rage?

But on topic: Yeah, the Kroguard is a beast... 

[digdug83]

Kroguard with tank spec + Reegar with shredder and damage = dead enemies

I fear only one enemy and that is the Banshee. Phantoms don't get me nearly as often as they do because I simply can't back up fast enough to get away from them I do however take perverse delight in killing Ravagers with him. Those cannons are useless at melee range

My build if anyone's interested. I specced him based on the assumption that Rage was broken for Kroguards. If someone can confirm it actually works then I'd love to respec him for melee and ditch the Reegar for a longer ranged weapon.

Best thing about him is that he's ****ing huge. I love standing directly next to other players to make them feel like the ants they are.

I am your Krogan God, or something egotistical like that.
