She is so fun to play sometimes though, screw DPS, I can be decapitating enemies across the map before my team has even brought up their sights and started firing. I wouldn't play her without plenty of medi-gel though, and obviously if you are mainly playing platinum you don't want to be meleeing all the bosses all the time and other infi's are better for bosses.

Against Cerberus and Geth? Without Warp Ammo? Possible.

Against Reapers and Collectors? With Warp Ammo? Nah.

She is amazing in Gold and Platinum. If you get good with knowing her limits for shadow strike you can become really good at finishing off bosses, especially Scions and Preatorians. Sure she's weak, but throw Juggernaut Shields on her and she's even more bad ass. All the damage you spec in to melee also goes in to Shadow Strike. Electric Slash is so OP. It can set off all kinds of explosions and can be used at range and from cover. All I ever bring with her is my Talon IX (melee and power amp mods) and some Incendiary IV rounds. So easy to set off your own fire explosions with ES and just one shot from your pistol. She is usefull for both crowd control and for homing in on annoying units. Rocket troopers, Dragoons, Ravagers, (Who will spill acid in front of them and it doesn't get on you,) and Collector Captains are all easy prey. Plus, with the Talon, you can stagger enemies with your standard melee and then quickly finish them off with a head shot. You move so fast too, that even though a lot of times when you Shadow Strike bosses they aggro you, you can easily cloak again and escape, buying your team mates some time away from them during objectives. If you use her like a ninja melee character, hit hard, fast, and disappear, she is one of the funnest and one of the most OP characters out there. Just my opinion though.

She doesn't have tac cloak.


Precisely. Her tac cloak is pretty much worthless. I'd rather say

In 15 mins game? Worthless.

In 25 mins game? Starts to get solid.

She's great for PUGging. Makes it so much easier to carry.

Really I think the QFI is the worst tbh...


What's the Shadow's call to fame? Ability to melee OHK a Phantom?

The QFI can do that too y'know.

QFI can't restore shields while she's at it.

Nice try though.

I love playing the shadow on plat, especially with teammates who can co-operate.

She's a unique, innovative and interesting kit to play. Not a DPS mistress but it feels good to play her (pure SS) and act like a ninja. She also flips and dodges so nice.
I could well live without ES and would rather put another conceal, CC or clairvoyance skill on her.

If there ever will be a next ME game, I definitely want a class like this to play.

Also, saying the shadow has low DPS is like saying the Javelin has low DPS. It doesn't matter for them since they can one shot pretty much anything.

Yeah but the Javelin can fire once/2 secs.

SS can fire once/5-6 secs on average.

As a result, the Javelin is the best gun in the game, while SS is worthless as an offense power.

No way the Huntress is worse. Cloaked Dark Channel on one target, Warp/Incendiary cheese on another... At the same time....

When you add the two together, Shadow cant touch that DPS.

Disagree. A pure SS Shadow is a blast to play. Or even if you set it up for 3 ranks of ES to work off of the Electric evo for SS, still fun.

Shes a mook killer, and mooks are the cause of peoples deaths on any difficulty, why would you call the only INFILTRAITOR by nature (spends most of the time behind enemy lines) the worst? screw dps against bosses, its the collector captains, maruaders, phantoms that are the real danger and she takes care of them effortlessly. Only times i've ever been hit by a pre-emptive elbow out of SS when I used it stupidly (doing it right in their face, not cloaking before doing or cloaking right in front of them and then doing it).

I think she awesome, shadow strike is godly for instant killing those pesky targets like marauders, phantoms, nemesis and rocket troopers which all will give you back your shields if you take drain so she isn't exactly squishy, plus for bosses I have a wraith + cloak which is nothing to scoff at.

yesterday with my shadow I got dropped in a Glacier hazard/Cerberus/Gold game with 3 pugs who obviously had nothing to do there. They were consistently bleeding out in the first 20 seconds of each wave, except for one who started following me around after a few waves, but he was dying too because I couldn't always revive him.
Anyway, on wave 5, I realized that it was taking me FOREVER to kill atlases with my disciple and ES rank 3. So I started using my missiles once there was nothing but atlases left, but I eventually ran out of missiles at the end of wave 8. So for wave 9 I tried to keep my ~follower alive so that he could help me with the atlases but I failed, and I finally let myself get killed because I didn't want to spend 20 minutes to end the wave because of the atlases and then probably wipe out before getting wave 10's money. And it's the 2nd time I'm quitting because of this, except the first time I managed to finish wave 10 objectives.

tl;dr I need to find a way to deal with atlases with my SS shadow

Carry a better gun. Because you have cloak, you don't need the super-light Disciple for CD

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.


"Father forgive they know not what they do..."
:ph34r:

"Shadow" is the strongest infiltrator of the game, in my opinion.

Put a wraith on if you have it. Disciple sucks on gold and plat. Imo the shadow should have gotten the shotgun damage to the cloak along with the AIU. Pack a wraith with the omni-blade and the shredder mod. That way you'll get the maximum amount of melee damage possible with your weapon. If you don't have the wraith then the pirranha is a decent alternative.

Yeah, I'm gonna try with the Wraith, but I absolutely want to be able to SS twice in one cloak so I want the CD to remain reasonable, and my Wraith is at III, so I'll see if it's worth it.

can always use the piranha instead if you have it at X; its my go-to weapon for her since anything ya dun want to SS/melee is likely big enough for most of the pellets to hit, and its still light enough at X w/ an omni-blade.

I usually take incendiary ammo, shoot until primed and then ES for fire explosion.
