What is this...i cant even...coela wru !!?

... and we need to talk about your warlord platinum comment... pm NAO!!

Pretty much this, except I like the Novaguard. The only character I really don't like is the Vorcha Soldier.
 
And by the way, Vorcha Hunter > Both other Vorchas, and I'm not even joking

Vorcha Sentinel + Venom is cheating.

Staggering an enemy doesn't necessarily negate the sync kill, but it does force them to select a stance, so they will almost always cancel the sync kill check immediately after the stagger and either try to shoot or melee again, but there are rare instances where they do their sync kill check immediately after the stagger, so every so often they will still try to grab you, not that they will succeed. So 99% of the time you would be correct

 

otherwise very well written,

Agree overall on Platinum. Incendiary cheese, troublesome enemy lockdown, and movement speed trump the flamer spam which usually ends in most being very dead, very fast on Platinum. I think on Gold the push to win button is better though especially on the sentinel with ROFL Cluster Nades.

I never deployed the Talon Merc as I´ve been just too lazy to implement the alternate keymap workaround on the PC.

 

Also have not played Volus much, though I´ll be getting to this as I can see their potential as fun and unusual characters to play. 

 

Only character I really did not enjoy playing is the Juggernaut. He´s very powerful with Siege Pulse Spam, his gazillion shields and whatnot, but even with AM III it feels like the enemy has activated bullet time. I tried a lot of builds and combinations, but it´s just not my thing.

[Stillsean]

Tell me about it

Yeah, I've experienced that before, not really funny

[Stillsean]

I rarely post anything helpful but i'll try now.

 

There.... now make whatever you will of this post..

Wow! that's some post. Very impressive, I almost want to play the KroLord now

I felt like I was in shackles and chains the first time I played the Juggernaut. Imagine my dismay when I held down the sprint button i was like WTH!!!

Any kit I haven't got 200 waves with would probaly be a kit I don't like.

KSA, BSA, Ksol, QMS,SE, VHE, VMS, AIU,  VPC, PV, TCV,

You kidding?

 

He's the maneuverable Tsol.

 

AIU is the best shotgun user.

[N7 Tigger]

The Hunter is the most interesting Vorcha.

 

 

He has Incinerate instead of Flamer.

 

Im sure this is why nobody ever uses him.

 

That's why I do use him.

 

EDIT: I miss quote pyramids.

I like the Soldier as he has synergy.

 

I don't. I always got suspended for them.

Just look at my manifest and you'll see what I use over these kits.

[cato potato]

The Talon Merc and the Krogan Warlord, I just don't get along with either of those two at all.
 
The Hunter is my favourite of the Vorchas though.

Also,

You kidding?

AIU is the best shotgun user.

Not really. The best shotgun user is of course the GI, HM accuracy boost trumps buggy extra damage.

Ok, this is another explanation why I love the vorcha hunter so much. At least it's confirmed now. Always felt faster with him whenever I used an AM III compared to the other vorcha. Only kits/weapon combos I don't like playing are Harrier/TGI, Acolyte/Any flamer kit. Reegar/Kroguard. Cause those to me are the most brain-dead combos to play as. It's really funny the two most underrated kits (Vorcha Hunter and Turian Saboteur) I really enjoy playing.

[Grim68]

The talon merc!!! Just can't get the hang of him!!!

 

I can help you, DF. Leave your Cain Mines at the door and embrace the dark side!

 

OT - Not a fan of the AIU either, myself. I just feel like there are other more dynamic kits to use shotguns with than Cloak -> Snap Cheese -> Shoot -> Rinse and Repeat. It's certainly effective, but...meh. Though Crusader sniping is fun as hell on her.

 

KroLord - I understand all the mechanics on how to make this guy work and (almost) never get synched, but it just never comes together when playing. So my KroLord rides the pine.

 

The VorHunter is great, but is impacted a little more by lag than the other Vorcha due to the nature of SubNet. And if you're not a fan of SubNet, this kit isn't going to do anything for you. But it's far from a bad kit.

As soon as I unlock him on xbox, I'll come calling for your advice

[Argent Xero]

I rarely post anything helpful but i'll try now. It goes without saying that you need to learn the sync pattern to be able to play him properly. Of all the sync-killers, the one that causes a bit of a problem for me is the praetorian, otherwise every other sync unit can easily be dispatched by the warlord.


Phantoms are the easiest - Always Pimp hand (running back hand) them. Do not fall into the temptation of hammer swinging them because you are not immune during animation and the wind up time is way too long for them to sync you. Plus the pimp hand will reliably stagger them every time, giving you the opportunity to pimp hand them again. It takes two pimp hand (rage active) to dispatch gold phantoms and three to dispatch platinum.


Atlases enter sync mode when they heavy melee, that'll only happen if you run upto them and melee or are standing too close to them. Never do that! Soften them up from a distance with your claymore and then go for the killing blow with your biotic hammer. Of-course if you play him regularly then you'll know how much armor can you take down with your biotic hammer. If you see an atlas who has melee'd your teammate then before going for a melee kill, you need to stagger it. Staggering will cause it to come out of sync kill mode (though I'd love if someone else can confirm this) try blowing up their shoulder/leg/groin plates with your claymore.


Banshees are fairly easy. Look for the glowing aura in their body. If its there,She is in sync mode so never melee! You need to take down her barrier for her to come out of the sync mode and into the warp ball throwing mode. Once she's in that mode(no glowing aura) she cannot sync you. Maximize your melee output by first connecting the pimp hand, then follow it up with the three hit biotic hammer combo. Of course it helps to take a reegar to deal with the barriers quickly, but I like to role play and take claymore with him, so I take disruptor ammo. Needless to say, ramps or any inclined/raised surface gives you some leeway when it comes to sync kills so use that to your advantage. I usually tank 2 banshees that way. But be careful , they can sync you in an incline should both of you come to a same level. So always engage them in the direction of the incline to reduce that chance ie you are either facing down or up the incline, never sideways!

Also, his biotic hammer will always cause a banshee to drop your teammate from the sync animation (even in platinum), saves a missile.


Brutes should never be able to sync you. One/two claymore shot to the head followed by biotic hammer should finish them.

Scions are same as brute, rupture their sack and then go for the biotic hammer kill.

Praetorians - this is the only unit that causes issue for the warlord since like atlases, you cannot do a three hit combo on them when in an inclined plane. So like Atlases, soften them up with the gun and then go for the killing blow..


Apart from these elite units, every humanoid unit/ mook should always be dispatched with the pimp hand since they are not worthy of your hammer. Its a fast way to dispatch mooks rather than the long winded hammer animation. On gold, if specced properly, one pimp hand (rage active) will dispatch most shielded mooks. Those that survive (hunters, bombers) are usually left with one bar of health/armor which you can follow up by the headbutt.


Also, a neat trick with the warlord is that his rage will trigger with one pimp hand kill, regardless of you taking whatever rage option. So its a handy idea to pimp hand a husk/trooper at the start of the wave to trigger your rage and then go pimp handing/b*tchslapping everything else. Reserve biotic hammer for situational use and elites, but for them only use it with triple hit combo to maximize your melee damage output.


There.... now make whatever you will of this post..

for Praetorians, Geth them down to armor then use Biotic hammer. This should stagger them. Then use the 2nd charge of the hammer while they are in the air or firing their lasers.

Or you could carry a Reegar and spec for MAX HAMMER DAMAGE.

 

Melt shields with Reegar.

 

Smash with SUPER HAMMER.
