Name the best kits/builds/weaponry that fair better against a specific foe, namely for gold level play. (Not Platinum, for obvious reasons.)

 

For example, Paladin specced with Energy Drain Dmg Mit/Heal gets quite the longevity bonus against geth.

Kroguard ofc, Gold-Geth-Solo-Slayer extraordinaire.

 

Now think of all the factions, are there ones you feel are better at say, Collectors, comparably to any another race?

 

One thing I've noticed myself doing lately is degrading from Platinum spam to trying new crap on gold. I've found myself never really focusing a kit versus a specific race; which was something I did at the beginning of MP before Plat existed. My Salarian Inf was my geth-go-to. Asstripersari was my go-to Cerberus-anti-phantom unit via stasis sniping. Once I hit the platinums that particular level of strategic thinking was forgotten.

 

Cheers

Asari Huntress murders collectors.

Her only weakness is shields, and there aren't any shielded enemies in the collectors faction.

 

SI lols at geth.

He can regain his shields once every 3 seconds, that's very hard to kill, unless he get's staggerlocked.

 

FQE loves fighting reapers.

Only marauders and banshees have shields, everything else can be chilled and incinerated.

Personally, I prefer using the Batarian Sentinel with Subnet maxed against Cerberus, with a gun like Falcon or Venom. The stagger gives you a lot of breathing space, you can punch many of the enemies and the Subnet is a good form of crowd control, snatching Phantoms like nothing, with the help of the forementioned stagger, of course. The Asari Adept is also good, as well as the Volus Adept with Stasis and immediate BE with his Biotic Balls, but, for me, the Batarian Sentinel is my favourite, because he is buff.

 

As of late, I prefer using the Talon Mercenary against Collectors. His moves pack a kick and if I remember correctly, he's not affected by the Swarms and even if he is, even a naked Omni-bow can do the trick with mooks. I also like the Batarian Soldier for the same reason. He only has on CD dependent move and that is only for emergencies that require stagger.

 

Aside from the Paladin, I will gladly use the Salarian Engineer, the Human Engineer and the Volus Mercenary against Geth. The SE uses the Decoy and attacks from range, so he won't get too close for comfort, as long as you keep an eye out for Hunters. The Volus Merc makes Geth hilarious. The HE follows the same logic. Just use your toys, people.

 

For Reapers... Krogan Soldier, N7 Demolisher and Cabal Vanguard are my go-to kits. The Cabal Vanguard is good at finding an escape route if needed and the Krogan Soldier is well, the Krogan Soldier. Fire. Everywhere. As for the N7 Demolisher... Well, just kill a Cannibal, wait for the other Cannibals to go for lunch, launch a Homing on them. She may depend on grenades to work, but if she has them, boy, does she work.

 

But my All-Faction-Favourite is the Asari Valkyrie. Play her correctly and she will make every match feel like a dream. She's fast, powerful, efficient and she has just enough of bulk to allow you to escape some bad stuff.

I suspect that the swarms stop grenade regen, but that's it, his arrows and mines are unaffected.

 

Praetorian bubble does block his arrows though, but not his mines, as long as you don't target the praetorian when they detonate.

I knew that. I never use powers when the Praetorian is feeling bubbly anyway. But when he lands? Ooohohoho, yes.

Asari Valkryie crushes Collectors

 

Drell Vanguard destroys Reapers (esp on White - great combo for DV)

 

GT/flamer vs cerberus - trivializes Phantoms and goons

 

GI vs everything

Geth - Human Engineer:  The drone drives primes crazy, also overload and incendiary.

 

Cerberus - Assguard: Stasis for phantoms and marauders, cna charge atlas's and stagger, grenades

 

Collectors - Any sniper, biotis do a number on them but a sniper to neuter scions from range makes a huge differnce.

 

Reapers - Most biotics, Best i would say is the huntress

Also giant heads. :D

Kits based around the Valkyrie assault rifle wreak the collectors for that reason too.

 

The fact that scions take headshot damage, and praetorians take more damage than other bosses when shot in the taint helps too.

Off the top of my head-

 

Anything with Venom vs either Geth or Cerberus

Any biotic vs Reapers

Anything with Inferno Grenades or Flamer vs. Reapers

Anything with Energy Drain vs Geth

Worlard vs Geth isn't unkillable, but can come pretty close.

I agree with all of these but just wanted to second the Volus Merc.  I've been avoiding the 200 waves challenges with only him and his Vanguard brother, but I put a Falcon with Disruptor ammo and a Geth Scanner on him last night and had an absolute riot.  I soloed 2 pizza deliveries in the rain on Ghost Hazard without dying or kiting - I just walked past them all, generally only shield-boosting in the rain.  It was a little bit slow taking down Primes on my own if I couldn't cast the decoy within shock range, but overall it's a very effective kit, and it's great fun giving the Geth triple doses of their own medicine. FB White is particularly good for him.

 

Krogan Soldier is my favourite against Reapers, though an aggressive Justicar is pretty good too.

N7 Shadow or Asari Adept for Cerberus

I don't play Collectors enough to really comment, though decapitating melee kits are pretty essential if I know I'm going up against them.

Turian Sentinel, Batarian Soldier or Human Engineer for anything unknown, though the Krogan Sentinel with just a Claymore is my favourite character overall.

FQI is pretty hilarious versus geth. Cloak+Sabotage, then headshot the sabotaged target to stagger enemies around it, and rinse and repeat. On my second time I tied for topscore on gold with no equipment.

 

Honestly, Sabotage is basically an instant win card versus geth. Gets a little messy if you forget how many times you've hit a prime though. "How can you fight me when they're so busy fighting...you?" *clink*

 

*clink*

 

"This usually works."

 

"Well, you know...performance issues...not uncommon."

 

*gets thrown out a window*

Reapers - Krogan soldier.

Cerberus - Krogan sentinel.

Geth - Krogan Battlemaster.

Collectors - Krogan Shaman. 

 

Warlord is good for any of those.

Cerberus: Turian havoc
Collectors: Turian soldier- nice juicy heads, and also what seeker swarms?

Kinda depends on the map as well ... Vorcha Sentinel vs Reapers on Glacier is pretty ridiculous (almost as ridiculous as the DrellDept).

 

Vorcha Hunter with a stagger-gun (like a Falcon or Venom) fares really well against Cerberus; they can't dodge the SubNet when they're staggered. You also get style points for using the Vorcha side-dodge (followed by Incinerate) when a 'goon is mid-strike.

 

AssGuard excels against Cerberus too.

Venom is such a score wh*re. You bring it to a match and then you feel overpowered. I don't know how it happens but it does.

 

In Single Player, a charged shot will split into 5 little mini grenades, but in Multiplayer, it's only 3, and enemies hardly explode into bloody slushy pieces. It seems the single player Venom has that Scorpion effect and it deals way more damage.
