You don't have to have a full evolution of the power tree...however, the damage of any tech or biotic explosion will depend on how many ranks you have in both the priming and detonating power (as well as evolution choices which affect the power of the explosion, of course, like those in Warp and Throw).

 

Best way to avoid getting husked is to kite the husks to the other side of the map and then run away and hope you have enough distance for it to not be a problem.  Devices while soloing are a pain in the arse at the best of times.

Combo mechanics

 

To keep it simple as you asked, one point in both powers is enough, but the damage and radius of the combos increase somewhat linearly with the points you spend in both powers, so 6+6 combos are way more powerful than 1+1.

 

If you're soloing and you get devices, you'll probably need to kite the enemies away from the device before activating it, especially melee focused enemies.

 

 

Most of all though, welcome to the wonderful ME universe and to the (a bit less nowadays) wonderful bsn community!

Exactly

[Deerber]

Awesome! And thank you very much. I hope I won't make a total ass of myself ... but I probably will since I'm also new to Xbox.

 

So long as you and your teammates have fun, that's not gonna happen, don't worry

Pretty much what Deerber posted will lead you in the right direction. 

 

Combo explosions have a cap of four enemies that they will hit. They scale (increase in damage with increase in difficulty) and have modifiers against certain defense types (barrier, shields, armor, health). A 1+1 combo has a minimal damage that I believe is maybe 40% (that might be wrong) of what the maximum damage that a 6+6 combo has assuming no debuffs or modifiers. AOE of the combo explosion also increase with rank by some factor. 6+6 is always best but the most important thing is to make sure to get the combo explosion modifiers if there is one in the individual power ranks. Power buffing gear/ equipment increase the damage of individual powers but not of the combo explosion. Single target debuff (IE warp) make one target take more damage but do not increase the damage of the explosion.

Welcome. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.

I don't know how accurate this wiki is on average, but so far it looks like a great source of info.

Rule #1 if you want to understand this game's mechanics: never trust the wiki.

 

You can only really trust these guys: Peddroelmz, Corlist, Cyonan, Tyhw (who goes by another name now I think). Anyone else, you should probably ask for a source if you wanna be sure

[Marksmad is waving goodbye]

Oh, okay. Thank you.

 

Kite ... hm, the terminology link wasn't entirely useful here but I take it I'm supposed to lure them away from the target?

 

Think kite on a string, following you as you run.

It's a great source of info, quite well orgnized, sometimes as opinionated as BSN, and sometimes even as wildly inaccurate.

That's Rule #2. Rule #1 is to treat anything you read on BSN with extreme scepticism.

 

Now, to try to answer the question in the OP in more accessible language than has gone before:

 

Explosions good. Big explosions better. Higher level powers, higher level kaboom. Combine 6+6 powers, biggest kaboom.

 

And once you can do that, everyone will tell you that all that really counts is weapons and that you are wasting firing time by using powers

The MP DLCs are free, however, the contents inside aren't. TrollLCs  they call it!

[NuclearTech76]

If you need someone to play with or fast credits you can add me vvv. I'm sure i can make a couple friends play this game again

Hit me up anytime if you need another player. I still play pretty regularly.

[waltervolpatto]

Welcome!

 

1) if you are on XBOX look for "piallator" and ask me... I play time to time.

2) to see how the BE amd TE works try yourself in this way:

 

TE(FE) are tech and fire explosion. Select a normal Male soldier and setup the soldier with the Concussion Shot. Get the avenger and get some fire ammunition. Find a mook and start shooting the avenger: after a litte bit this mook will start to be in fire (and often panicking): use concussion shot on it and you will see a BOOM!!! Fire explosion... You can use for this effect [fire][cryo][disruptor] ammo and you get one type or another of TE...

 

BE biotic explosion : human sentinel, load some points in the warp and some in the trow: go in a game and keep alternating warp then trow then warp then trow.....  BOOM-BOOM-Boom....

Rolan they are only being nice to you because you are new and asking polite questions.  In a week you will be like the rest of us trying to strangle each other on a regular basis due to some conversation about a gun or talent.
