She's only bad in Platinum, really. Rather good for farming out phantoms and Dragoons.

Not even. Phantoms are the most annoying plat enemy with Primes and the only one that requires special tactics, so it's ok. In the principle you snipe stuff, and when you're being pressured by Phantoms, SS. I do pretty well with her on that difficulty in fact.
It's bit boring though since ES isn't very useful at that level, compared to a standard "sniper-friendly" power like Proxy Mine, Overload, Sabotage, ED...

I use like playing the shadow, she brought something different to the infiltrator table, but the game broke her. Enemies psychically punching her in while she's teleporting to at them during SS, if it's a phantom I'm just happy if she doesn't impale herself on it's sword, low shields on a melee kit wasn't a problem before the changed/fixed shield gating. Can't SS atlases. All the fun has pretty much been sucked out of this kit.

Easily the worst infiltrator... but I can still do pretty good with her using a Raider.

Watching the enemy I'm Shadow Striking get blown away by someone elses gun is a really big turn off for me though... and she is thoroughly punished by Collectors moreso than just about every kit in the game (Seeker Swarms/Scions/Praetorians).

Really tough to build her IMO... unless you are fine with skipping or almost skipping Electric Slash (which is the only power she has that offers any kind of team synergy).

She is pleasant to look at though... so that's worth, a very small something.

This and it's all about the player!! not so much the kit itself.

I agree with the DPS, and slow animation of the SS, but honestly there are ways around her flaws to make her more efficient at killing. Read tutorials and guides on BSN.

Here's an example: If she's slow use Adrenanline III + Shield and Recharge Speed on the 5th evolution of Sword Mastery, problem solved that's like 35% to speed boost to go around and kite enemies.

Another example people mentioned is that your teamates will kill enemies before your SS animation. The solution is to SS the enemies before your team mates kill & see them, meaning SS the furthest enemy in the back of the group and kill your way to the front of the group..

As you work your way to the front of the group, you may need to switch to your gun/heavy melee/melee.


This kit requires a lot of patience and on platinium it does take time to nail down the bosses. Patience is a virtue!!

Can I assume this means you don't think she's the worst?

[Koshiir]

What? I don't agree even remotely with OP. She may be the worst sniper in the game, but far from the worst infiltrator.

Here is how I spec her: http://narida.pytalh...gernautShield5/

The Duration Cloak and Bonus Power evos of TacCloak in combination with an Adrenaline Mod III allow me to:
1. Activate Cloak and perform a Shadow Strike on a distant enemy
2. While still cloaked, evaluate the situation I just teleported in (how many enemies, how far behind enemy lines, etc.)
3. Do one of the following
    a) Perform another cloaked SS, a heavy melee or weapon shot on the same or another enemy
    Use the rest of my cloak time to GTFO if I just teleported next to two Possessed Scions or similar.

Additionally duration cloak + Adrenaline mod make the "Hack 4 thingies" objective waves a cake walk and makes reviving teammates quite easy.


My playstyle (Gold difficulty) involves me cloaking at first sight of an enemy and then immediately shadow strike a distant enemy. Then continue to TC+SS around the map. ES gets only used to take down shields/barriers of boss enemies. Target priority goes as follows:

High priority: Phantoms, Dragoons, Engineers and Turrets, Collector Troopers and Captains, Marauders, Ravagers, lone Brutes, Geth Pyros, Geth Bombers, Geth Rocket Trooper

Medium priority: Cerberus Troopers and Centurions, Nemeses, Abominations (only kill with heavy melee), Unpossessed Scions, Husks, Geth Troopers

Low priority (I only engage these enemies when my teammates are already engaging them to kill them or to get some aggro/pressure off my fellow players): Atlas, Praetorians, Possessed Scions, Banshees, Geth Prime


Sometimes it feels really cheap playing like that. But it works. :innocent:

.and the AIU arguably a better melee.

I'm guessing you haven't spent too much time using both as melee characters. 

The AIU's melee is fun, I grant you, and I love it. I play her as a melee character for that reason, since it doesn't serve a practical purpose, to do so.

The Shadows melee is one of the best in the game, the AIU's melee is a cute, fun way to spend a game.

Pretty durn close to the same build I use.

I use ES pretty regularly (and spend more time sniping with a Carnifex/Suppressor than I should) but I have a similar style there, too. 

OT:

I don't think any Infiltrator is bad. But I think going out of your way to repeatedly put down a specific kit belies an issue with one's skills or ability to play that class. 

[Arctican]

Saying she's the worst infiltrator is not saying much really. She still has tactical cloak which is a top tier power.

[Ledgend1221]

Asari Huntress is the worst infiltraitor.

[Deerber]

Huntress is worse, in my opinion.

She doesn't have tac cloak.

The worst is the basic human.

Way too squishy for melee. Shadow strike sucks. It's only good quality is that it can one hit phantoms when it's fully specced out. It's abilities don't compliment TC at hardly. Bleh.

The N7 Shadow is one of the best infiltrator classes to play.  I spec mine to do combat from long range, intermediate range, and short range (melee) - basically have many options to employ to deal with enemies - a consistent 50+ killer per session.
