Is it actually possible to hit cloaked enemies (geth hunter, phantom) with the running melee? I always end up sliding past them. Do you have to force them to uncloak first? (This is with the kroguard, but I assume it would be the same with the worlard.)
tl;dr Probably not
The warlord's sprint melee isn't exactly the same as the other krogan - the other krogans' heavy melee does not have an AoE and their damage/stagger hitboxes work as you expect, with both being in a short distance front of them. The warlord's damage hitbox and stagger hitbox however, is disjointed. While the stagger hitbox works mostly the same as the normal-sized krogran and appears to have no AoE, his damage hitbox has does have an AoE. Also, his damage hitbox is a small area 360 degrees around his body (imagine a lifebuoy). This is probably the reason why people think his melee is bugged and "misses" enemies at distance. When enemies are hit by the stagger hitbox, a melee hit sound effect will be played and the target will be launched away if killed. When an enemy is only hit by the damage hitbox, no melee hit sound will be played and the target will simply slump to the floor on the spot. It is easiest to test this by sprinting at a wall and using melee when enemies (like husks) gather behind you.
