KV, PA, AVS and GI are great close quarter characters. I like the AJA too. Use an adrenalin with the GJ ang equip a close quarter weapon and he's a beast or spam siege pulse.

Krogan Adept / Piranha - surprisingly effective on platinum I've found.

I hate glass cannons and I prefer not to be glued to cover all of the time.

Learn to use soft cover. That's all

My favourites on platinum are asari huntress infiltrator, batarian slasher adept and drell adept (he's a bit squishy though)

A good close quarters kit for Plat is the Valkyrie.

[VaultingFrog]

If you are looking for other quality krogan and batarians then go with the krosent (not the warlord) or the batguard. Both are brutal characters.

As it was said before, stick to soft cover instead of hard cover. That can save you a lot of trouble. Know your limits as you don't have a dodge and for the love of Patches the Elf use something heavier on those characters. Derpicane is fine but you should be investing in something heavier that punishes mooks more, such as the claymore.

The Batarian Vanguard with the Reegar is a beast. You just need AP ammo and cyclonic. Maybe equip another weapon just in case (Hurricane/Talon/CSMG).

Bat Solider is a power house if used right. I like a shotgun on him with incendiary rounds to maximize the single damage per nade. Venom, Wraith, Claymore, Talon are all pretty good. One nade on armored units and a double tap with the Venom or a clip from the other shotguns listed and then move on to other things unless the target is an elite. The DOT will kill Ravagers, Brutes, etc pretty much with one nade with the incendiary effect. BB are for CC and are effectively your dodge if you have them set for double stagger/explosive blades.

Personally I would avoid the Reegar, as it can teach you bad tendencies and break the game for you in a bad way. You can become so scrubby that you only use the Reegar and blither idiotic things about Thunderdome, babies, and other nonsense.

Volus are the tankiest characters in the game, just so that you know.

They don't call them "The Balls of Steel" for nothing.

Even more with the batguard. His weapon passive make a huge difference. Armor blade can stun most enemies and grant damage reduction. Charge put you in range and restore your shield.
It is a very tanky character and easy to use. This guy seems to be made for the Reegar Carabine.

You just have to charge and shoot. I agree, it isn't the most funny way to play, but it is effective.

[HolyAvenger]

Soft cover, OP.

[Garrus1138]

AIU + Claymore has been (and still is) my crutch for platinum.
I would also recommend Asari Valkyrie and Geth Trooper Weapons Build.

I love the GunGrave anime:wub:

That is a good build and he can take a lot of damage. Using the biotic charge to instantly recharge your shields is very addictive. This works best on Geth primes because you can stay in their face and just keep charging. Also works great for Banshees on a ramp where they can't sync kill.

But, for multiple Phantoms on Platimum it's better to run for cover.

[Peer of the Empire]

Krogan Soldier with Acolyte melees everything on Platinum.  He can rapidly take out groups of Phantoms


Kroguard, Krodept, Valkyrie, AIU if you want to shotgun

I have more luck with the QMI and HMS characters using grenades and the Hurricane or CSMG. With the right gear they are fast and potent, kaboom everything. Cloak is great to confuse but don't rely on it. The Concussive shot from the soldier is also great, you can break cover shoot and dodge back in without having to take time for good aim.

I have just started playing on Platinum and I am fairly good at it but I am not doing particularly well.

The single character that I have settled on is the Batarian Soldier. I like him because he is very balanced. I have double the health of most characters if you include the damage reduction I get from using the blade armor. I also have all the offense I could ever need from spamming inferno grenades and using the N7 Hurricane. I hate glass cannons and I prefer not to be glued to cover all of the time. I'm basically specialized in close range because I am a crap sniper. My strategy is not to be stupidy aggressive but more like hit and run. It has worked well through Gold but on Platinum not so much.

1) I like that the Krogans and Batarians have so much health, so are there any other Krogans and Batarians that I should try that can match the damage output of the Batarian Soldier? (besides the Krogan Soldier because he is basically the same)

2) Are there any close range characers that work really well on Platinum? I was thinking of trying which ever infiltrator has the most health and using the Reegar Carbine or something.

1) Krogan Shaman will surpass the BatSol's weapon damage output (unless you're an adherent of the incendiary glitch). It won't neccessarily match it in terms of AoE damage, not a lot does. Inferno Grenades are pretty disgusting. However it does respectable damage and has good health. KroSent and BatDept will also do well though LIft Grenades can be finicky to use and BatDept lack of Blade Armour won't give as much health as the BatSol. Once you get more used to Platinum the Warlord is a great choice. Very fun, decent damage and great health, though you need to have enough experience of spawns and enemy placements to stay out in the open without fear of being pummeled by Scion grenades...and enough situational awareness and knowledge of sync kills to avoid them.

2)  Drells, Quarian Males and Geth are all subsets of characters that are great on Platinum. Though the Drell may be a little too squishy to learn Plat with. Fury is also good though it tends to become more mid-range vs. boss units. Any of the Infiltrators will do fine as will the aforementioned classes in the first answer. Destroyer, TSol, HSol and Quarksman are all very good as well. Though the Turian Soldier might be a little too slow at times without using an Adrenaline, at which point he can become a bit too squishy for newer platinum players.

You're better off trying out some squishier characters now and moving to others that define squishy. Getting accustomed to surviving with those characters will help you learn the importance of soft cover and where it can be used on all the maps, as well as the importance of stagger and timing. Once you have a keen grasp on such things they'll be incorporated naturally into your gameplay and you'll be able to play any character.

If you play on Xbox send me a message and we can do some games tonight.

[DinkumGem]

Have you tried QME with grenade capacity and cyclonic? Easy to play, high damage and fairly robust.

I'll ask again...

Is the down button on your D-Pad broken?

Prolly too many solo attempts lately.  On the other hand, I proved today that practicing soloing Platinum with no medigels or ops does indeed train you to solo Gold successfully.  Well, twice so far.  Playing with a good team helps see the spawn patterns, too.

So you go into team games without any gel whatsoever? Never heard of a jumbo pack? Didn't ask for your life story btw.

No,.. I get heckled in team games for self-reviving when there is someone right there, and are you now hassling me for not self-reviving in a game?  When did we even play together?  Does this discussion even belong in this thread?

We certainly did, and you bled out 3 times in 4 waves. I left one Scion alive and then quit when you all bled out on wave 4. I dropped into another on-going game on wave 1, and you'd bled out too. Seems like your thing.

There is no reason to waste medigel gefore wave five.  If you can't carry the first few waves on Gold down one player or even by yourself, it's not anyone else's fault.
