When I know I'm playing reapers, the quarian engineer is close to the top of the list for most effective against the reaper faction. She can simply shred through armor.

QFE + Improved Acolyte : WIN

Flame turret.

[HLake]

Sentry turret with armor piercing and rockets kills everything. It's really good (1200 damage against armor every 3 seconds from the rocket alone). I struggled with the shield problem too, but you have a lot of choices:
1: acolyte
2: distruptor ammo
3: high DPS weapons or weapons with bonus damage to shields (Talon, Reegar)
4: team-mates with Overload/Energy Drain

Her asset?

[Butcher_of_Torfan]

If you're looking at min/maxing your survivability and damage output, and topping the match scoreboard, then you shouldnt use her. By the same logic, you shouldnt use half the characters and most of the weapons in the game.

But the whole point of playing any game in the 1st place is to have fun. Maybe playing this class or another for something different, a bit more of a challenge. Maybe its to have a different looking character, or engage in some light RP with headcannon. Or to look at the jiggly bum bum. Sometimes i bust her out just to be the only guy who isnt running an N7/Krogaurd/GI.

These are the reasons for selecting it. The Female Quarian isnt a "top tier" character, and never will be. But it wont handicap your team, or make it unnecessarily frustrating to play.

you get a jiggly quarian bum bum, so its totally worth it.

Cryo Blast is a lot better than people give it credit for now that it has a fast recharge speed. Same can be said for Sentry Turret. The FQE is actually a very solid class now.

sentry turret + fire explosions = win

[Paeyvn]

Sentry Turret >>>>> Combat Drone now that everything ignores the drone (seriously, I specced into explosive drone and have not seen it kill one thing since the AI behavior changed towards it).

Also, she can set up her own FE as well with her turret's flamethrower. It's not as fast as the regular one, but she can.

I'll admit the regular human is a bit more solid a character, but she's not bad at all and she's a lot of fun.

[masleslie]

OK so your estimation of her prowess is way below par. Although I am biased because she is my favorite character.

Cryoblast can set up cryo explosions to detonate with incinerate.
Cryo explosions done right can freeze multiple other enemies in the vicinity for ongoing fun.
Frozen enemies are not shooting at you.
Even tougher enemies can be slowed down making them easier to deal with.
Sentry turret with the right spec, set up the right place, can slow or stop hoards of enemies while they try to deal with the flamethrower. (you've been hit by pyros right?)
Flamethrower acts as a source for incendiary explosions to detonate with incinerate.
Organic enemies, especially cerberus, can panic when on fire so they are not shooting at you.
Pack a good assault rifle (i use Harrier V) with disruptor ammo (granted anyone can do this but FQE can then use incinerate to detonate tech bursts), incapacitating more enemies.

So you have one character who can single handed detonate 3 of the 4 combo types regularly. With a sentry turret that is like having another squad member. Who can do cryo, incindiary & electrical damage making her effective against armor, shields, barriers, or whatever you want to throw at her.

What part of lethal bombshell in the right hands don't you get?

[Dream-Maker]

She has debuff, easy tech explosions and a turret that does quite high damage for a pet. She's very powerful now in my opinion. I run mine 6/6/6/5/3 with a wraith + disruptor ammo and I find her to be one of the most versatile characters by now.

[Zombie Inc 91]

Take the flamethrower turret and you can detonate your own FEs: just incinerate while the fire animation is up.

Definately a fun class with the new explosions; and having fun should be the only reason you need to player her.

[Jezter666]

1. Dat ****.. jiggly jiggly bum... aah you get the point! >.<
2. Sentry Turret. Either rocket or flamethrower evolutions are very powerful. I personally use rocket turret along with the 100% damage to armor evolution. You'd be surprised with the damage it can dish out.
Place it behind you or corners so it won't be gunned down easily and watch enemies die from turret damage alone. It also has a very short cooldown so it can easily be re deployed easily. Remember to have it deployed 100% of the time.
3. Cryo Blast is a great debuff. Coupled with the cryo explosions, you'll be damaging and ccing a lot of enemies. This can also be used to stagger shielded smaller enemies as you gun them down and deplete their shields. Once shields are depleted it is where the FQE shines. see point 4.
4. Incinerate/Cryo Blast combo. Double Incinerate damage on armor is nothing to be ignored. It actually brings down armored enemies fast. You can cast x 3 incinerates while cryo debuff is on the target, that would be like casting 6 incinerates.

I use a carnifex with ultralight+damage mod and locust/tempest with armor piercing+mod of your choice to keep her cooldowns low so I can spam her skills as much as possible. Although scores can never be a judge if a character is great, the FQE actually scores very high. x)

[N7Kopper]

No matter how hard I try, Cryo Blast always seems more useful on an Alliance Infiltrator as a freeze and debuff agent than a character focused on tech explosions - Snap Freeze is just so much more useful as a combo power, it seems to prime things far better. It's sad, Cryo Blast should be the better combo power due to range, but Snap Freeze can apparently prime via chilling, and I haven't been able to get Cryo Blast to do that.

That said, every character is useful, and that sentry turret can do things that a shield and Energy Drain cannot.

[Drayce333]

There's nothing wrong with her. No reason not to have her. If you don't feel like playing as her then don't.

[Jovian09]

Team a FQE with a GE, and between them you'll have 4 players on the field, shield regeneration and the ability to set up any kind of tech combo imaginable. The Quengineer is a support character in that other players can benefit tangibly from her presence.

Enlighten me.
Here's all of her advantages:
Can set up Fire Explosions and Cryo Explosions.
Can Detonate Cryo Explosions.
Can double her Incinerate damage. 
Has slightly higher base shields.

So why pick that, when I can use a human Engineer, who has a better dodge, can set up and detonate both fire explosions and plain tech bursts (and once the enemy is close enough, can chain them ad infinitum)?

Or the Salarian Engineer, who has basically the same stats/animations, but can also set up and detonate FEs and TBs, as well as being able to restore shields and create a decoy to draw fire?

The Quarian's only real advantage lies in Cryoburst, and that's more or less outweighed by the TB/FE on every power.
So if Cryoblast is the only thing that really sets her apart from the other Engineers, why wouldn't you take a Human Infiltrator and be even more of a team player?

So... explain please.

Her only and main advantage is being a quarian lady. If this does not make you excited, don't even bother reading further. There are ways to be quarian lady and STILL effective team member even on platinum difficulty, but if you want only powerful character, there are much better options.

Turret is odd thing. On bronze its damage is almost overpowered, it kills tons of hostiles fast, but on platinum it barely damages anything at all, so I run without her. I think if they buff turret any further, it might start to one-shot phantoms on bronze
Cryoblast has very limited use, since things which can be completely frozen (infantry, stripped out of shields) can be killed very fast in many ways (and it usually happens, when incinerate projectile travels )
So just grab good weapon with reasonable weight ( i like talon and wrath, some people preffer harrier or acolyte, or anything else), load some ammo (cryo, fire and desintegration - all have its uses) and enjoy being a quarian.

[dabull1014]

The flamethrower turret and incinerate make armored units a joke. I scored at the top of a Gold Reapers/Hazard Dagger match with her without even trying.

Because quarians!

She also has access to all the necessary components for winnage: Fire, Ice, and MOAR BULLETS!
