What are the strongest melee builds possible, from your experience? I really want respec some characters and create some funky melee builds. I'm meaning with gear and bonusses all active. These are some of the builds I personally went with in the past...

 

 

N7 Shadow

Geth Infiltrator

Batarian Brawler

Krolord

How well do you perform on Platinum with those builds? And is there a build that could potentially take down a Phantom/Dragoon in one strike on said difficulty?

 

 

Thanks for your input!

I never melee much at all on Platinum....I hardly have any melee characters.....although there is the Human Infiltrator Melee!

[ThatOddGuy]

I really like TGI melee because Overload adds stagger and a lot of supplementary damage to shielded enemies. His HM also gives a weapon damage bonus. Although it's always my secondary source of killing, even though it's capable of Cloak -> Overlad -> HM kill a gold phantom in one go.

 

It's very effective in platinum. I usually nail the hunters who like to bum rush you all the time. The HM just keeps you weapon damage up.

 

 

Krentinel is always near the top of the list.

Juggy.

[RealKobeBean]

Isn't the Juggs heavy melee fairly weak by the numbers?

Impossible!!!!

Don't know about platinium, but the AIU melee is super effective on Gold. Snap cheese to debuff and stagger, venom for even more stagger, and melee everything.

She is quick, sturdy and way more fun to play as a melee build than playing with a boring incendiary reetard.

[HusarX]

I don't always melee in this game, but when I do I go with this.

 

Awakened Phantom

 

 

Adrenaline 3 gives me more survivability than Cyc4 , combine this with GS ... hit and run, in and out. Talon (optional Arc Pistol with the same mods/optional piercing mod instead of the melee mod + Disruptor Ammo4))  for Bosses. Geth/Cerberus is like a walk in the park.

 

I go for shield damage (fitness 6) cos' you have AP4 for armour.

You have already listed here some of the strongest melee builds of the game. You can also create powerful melee builds with the krosol (when Fortification is purged), the krosent (with 5b of Tech Armor) and the kroguard (with 5b of Biotic Charge).

 

I find your Shadow build too defensive. I personally choose all the a options in both Sword Mastery and Shadow Strike. Like that, I can kill a Phantom in one Shadow Strike in gold, and in platinum too I think (not totally sure).

Huntress. Most powerful melee in the game IIRC.

Yeah, but that's one of the reasons why I wanted to hear your thoughts. I am looking to respec some characters, and I would like to go the melee route. Not the GI, though, because that build gets destroyed on Platinum. I used that one Silver/Gold and did fine. As for the Shadow, I think I'm going to follow your advice.

I remember a few months back someone posted a melee build using the QFI - I believe that they used sabotage and tac cloak to help boost the melee damage

Yeah.. that one works. It one shots gold Phantoms.. don't know about Plat.

[DaryAlexV]

My personal favorite.

A fully decked out Melee GI is actually a lot of fun to play.

[megabeast37215]

Do you have the specs for her, I've been 'playing' with her and can't get her quite right?

I don't know how to use Kalence but I'll do my best

6 Cloak.. damage, melee, power damage
6 Dark Channel.. damage, slow, armor/barriers
6 Warp.. detonate, expose, pierce
0 Passives
6 Fitness.. All melee

Weapon.. Crusader with High caliber barrel/Omniblade
Strength Enhancer
Warp ammo III or IV
Power Amp III or IV
Martial Biotic gear

Because you have the Claymore equipped in your Shadow build this Shadow Build could be interessting for you too.

Shadow Strike may can not OHK Phantoms on Gold instandly but the Phantom will die to the DOT before you finished a doge.

 

The main point of this build is that Shadow Strike is good at hiding the Claymore reload. The Idea is to cloak -> shoot claymore -> Shadow Strike -> (doge ->) shoot Claymore again and it works well for me.

The bonus to Movment Speed from Sword Mastery 5b and Shield Drain help a lot to survive after a succsessfull Shadow Strike.

[Loufi]

How did I forget that ? N7 Paladin ! Depending on the map and the ennemy, can be tricky to play in platinum, however.

 

I remember too this thread about the melee QFI. I think that his melee being considered as a tech attack, it benefits from the rank 6b of Sabotage, "Tech Vulnerability".

I do like to take the Bonus Power evo on Tac Cloak, though. That way, enemies won't interupt your Shadow Strike as much.

I am gonna try this. How does she perform against wave 10-11 phantom-goon death sqauds? Those 2 waves are the reason I dont play melee as much.

 

[Alfonsedode]

melee saboteur is quite fun and effcient i heard, as sabotage enhance the melee damage.
Most melee chars i use are quite good on gold, but i can t play them right on plat. Except the shadow maybe.
Krosol is the one i m gonna try in the comming days.

[Ribosome]

Turian havoc makes for a fun melee build. Usual outstanding jetpack melee + havoc strike melee boost + lolpack survivability. You can also "double strike" if you HS reeeeally early during the heavy melee execution (I can post a video of this when I'm not on mobile). HS and fitness are all you really must take to 6, the rest is pretty flexible

Melee AIU as mentioned before is great. I strongly recommend the Graal with disruptor IV. It can whoop phantom ass. All boils down to building a rhythm of cloak > snapfreeze > melee which releases the charged graal shot and is enough to kill a majority of mooks (with the exception of possessed captains I think?? I need to collect some more data)
