Do share then; which character are you best with? It's an open-ended question for a reason, I'm not saying there's a definitive answer. I'm legitimately curious to see what people think, which is why I asked 

 

If I had to pick?

Soldier - Human, Turian​, Destroyer. Honorable mention to the Juggernaut if I feel like being a hulking stop sign.
Vanguard - Battlemaste​r, Cabal, Cerberus.
Infiltrator - Shadow, ​AIU, sniper Ghost.
Sentinel - Turian, Paladin, Batarian.
Adept - Human, Justicar, Drell.
Engineer - Human, Qua​​rian male, Paladin.​

I'd argue that if you're going to die a lot with the GI you'll probably die a lot with other strong offensive characters, too. GI survivability is about winning the quick draw if an enemy has his sights on you. Of all weaknesses, low HP is the easiest to counteract with tactics.

For sure, for a seasoned player. But if you're talking about handing a given kit to a given person, the GI is not the one you'd start with b/c his survivability is based on game/tactics knowledge, and noobs have a hard time handling his glassiness

My most successful characters are the fastest - drell and the N7 Fury. 

 

Don't know if it makes any sense, but it seems to me that fitness is more irrelevant in gold+ games. The 1st  none-mook shot will strip your shields. After the 2nd you have 1 left in health. The 3rd will leave you bleeding out. This is the case no matter how may points used in fitness. A tank character like a Krogan or the Juggernaut might be an exception to this.

 

Do correct me if I'm wrong on this, I've just been looking for the logic behind squishy/no fitness builds.

 

I find it easier to survive when I can get quickly out of harms way or find RHA. If I play a more durable character like the Turian soldier with maxed fitness I tend to bleed out more often because I can't move his fat butt quickly enough before that 3rd shot hits me or I get stun locked.

Dare I say vanilla human adept? It's not my favorite character but I just can't name anyone better. Crowd control, debuffing, staggering, strong vanilla human passive, useful and fast heavy melee, warp's seamless integration with all types of squad combinations, shockwave wallhax, biotic explosions from all distances, super powerful warp-shockwave combo with quick cooldown, singularity-warp-warp-detonate double biotic explosions to lock down mobs surrounding bosses. If you can embrace the squish, I believe you can't do better. An* N7 20 pug with a quick google search can go into a gold or platinum with a level 1 predator and meaningfully contribute to team success. 

I'm glad you brought this guy up. I usually play on PC but I was rebuilding it recently so while out of action I dragged out an old PS3, downloaded ME3 and started a new a/c on that. No good weapons, mods, or ammo, but it didn't matter. I just ran around with this guy for the first time going BOOM BOOM and was also loving his great heavy melee (non-bugged shockwave was also a bonus). Also thanks to the PS crowd for only kicking me once in three weeks in gold lobbies with virtually no challenge points or good gear. How very civilized of you and please accept a collective like.

So by this logic the best character has to be useful across the skill spectrum by being tanky and possessing high damage output. In that case, and it pains me to say this, I guess the answer is crutch kits like the TGI and AIU. Although I personally would still recommend the GI or human adept for a trial by fire to expedite the learning process. Crutch builds stifle creativity and skill-building.

I actually love the human adept, an undervalued and very powerful vanilla kit that is often overlooked.

And I agree with you, crutches are the stagnation of ability and knowledge growth and everyone should shun them til they've actually learned how to play the game, not just certain kits.

[TMB903]

"Best" is subjective based on multiple factors but these are the best characters overall to me.

Batarian Soldier : above average movement speed, tanky, insane DPS with Infernos, CC/CQC with Ballistic Blades

Drell Adept : super fast movement speed, biotic nuke with Reave->Clusters

Paladin : most versatile kit in the game, tanky, powerful melee

GI : insane single target DPS, innate wallhax with high movement speed, proxy mine debuff

QME : can chain TBs and FEs like no other, Tac Scan with debuff and momentary wall hax

[Fidite Nemini]

Krogan Scout Infiltrator.

 

That shotgun T.-Cloak, the Incendiaries, the Carnage, it's perfect. 6/6/6/6/6/10, would headbutt.

[larsdt]

I'm gonna take the advice on the human adept and use it more. The reason I have overlooked the vanilla kits is because I've used them so much in the SP campaign.

 

Ofc the game tactics in MP are different, but as a noob (which I still consider myself), it has just been more intriguing to try new characters and powers.

 

All true about crutch kits, but I guess you have to learn it the hard way. These kits seem awesome and it's easy to be lured by them. It wasn't until I had my very 1st gold game I realized otherwise. Standing like an idiot in the same spot for 11 waves with the Juggernaut.

[TheTechnoTurian]

Turian Sentinel 

 

Fantastic weapon passives, plus racial stability 

High health and shields in addition to tech armor make him a turiantank 

One powerful debuff in the form of warp, both primes for biotic explosions and detonates biotic/tech

One powerful stagger tool/debuff in the form of overload, also primes for tech bursts and detonates tech explosions

Doesn't waste time dodging like the scrub kits 

Handsome 

 

I literally cannot ask for a more perfect husband kit 

[Best VolusSupport NA]

Going off by personal pref.

 

For me it'd ultimately be the volus mercenary because it's so easy and relaxing to use when I don't feel like trying so hard. 

 

Why I love the volus mercenary:

• Decoy distracts phantoms (worst IMO), Geth primes, and most low tier enemies from the other factions.
• Decoy blocks banshee warps
• Decoy can coax banshee to do the banshee scream in order to make it easier for power classes to do damage (Very useful for team composition that does not have a geth juggernaut).
• Decoy explosion can cause tech explosions.
• Heavy melee because it grants invincibility frames and able to live through banshee warps/screams, atlas rockets, praetorian lasers, brute's 2 hit charge attack.
• Heavy melee can stun enemies that's not a boss level enemy (Useful against dragoons)
• Double cloak.
• If spec'd in a certain way, you can build the volus to have a really short shield recharge delay 0.80 at best without assistance from other kits.
• Combat drone is good crowd control, you can have built to detonate - shock - chain lightning for the standard suicide drone (Also capable of coaxing banshee to do banshee scream)
• Combat drone when spec'd for full tank + rockets can be placed in tactical positions such as this one (See my post) 
• Combat drone explosion can cause tech explosions
• Shield boost because it gives damage reduction and invincibility frames to the volus, and a buff to everyone's shield recharge delay so they can regain shields sooner.
• Volus mercenary does make hack circles with the geth faction easier because of the decoy and combat drone. 
• Both decoy and the combat drone does allow mooks to focus on rather than teammates.

Maya Moore on the Lynx - although Lindsay Whalen and Seimone Augustus are both quite good as well...

...he/she didn't even lock that thread; it was deleted. I think someone's a Fever fan and jelly that my Lynx won

#WNBAchamps
#MNfever
#boogie'sbutthurtlist

*Sigh*

Oh well. And the ghost I guess. Has some of the best maneuverability in the game, along with insane dps against armor AND shields/barriers (overload). Not to mention the survivability with stims. Oh, and a cloak...am I missing something else?

Not the best balanced kit, perhaps.


That's what you get for hiding my thread biomod#__

There's a way to play the Juggernaut on Gold, but it doesn't involve standing still.

[Deerber]

... Does anyone here really need me to answer this?

[Malaclypse The Younger]

The fact that more than a few people feel that the TGI is too crutchy to respect and/or that they must gimp the AIU by speccing out of Repair Matrix says boatloads about their qualifications to be a part of ANY pointless discussion of nebulous superlatives in ME3MP.

The characters that I personally prefer and wield with maximum effect* are tha Asari Huntress & Batarian Adept.

*right now/today/at this very moment/etc

[Oni Changas]

Now that I've fully read OP, here are my picks:

 

Adept

 

Judgesticar. Can tank, excellent AoE damage, quick cooldown, and can deal with all things quite well due to Reave H4x. Tied with Drell adept. Drell switches tankiness for pure DPS. From an Avenger to a Predator, the DA build I've created can make ANY gun look good. Fury comes close but is more vulnerable with my in-your-face playstyle.

 

Soldier

 

Number 1, N7 Destroyer. With PPR/Typhoon/Piranha/Spitfire, everything goes down effortlessly. Quick shield recharge and Hawk Missiles keep enemies like Phantoms too busy to strip your health. Runners up are TSol (not Havoc) and Geoff Troopa. TSol can take damage and dish out twice as much. Only limitations is lack of great CC and dependance on weapon choice. GT weapons build with shield Flamer makes everything a joke. Just slap on the Prothean Party Rifle and he can melt all the things. Runner up, BatSol. Top tier CC, and the most OP DoT in the game. Fast and durable to boot.

 

Engineer

 

The aforementioned QME; however I don't have debuff things because they're already dead. Runner up would be GE. Only problem is a lack of power-based DPS. My turret is a medic.

 

Sentinel

 

Paladin for the aforementioned reason (walking tech WMD, bullies nearly all units). Don't even need strength enhancer for my Hybrid build. Valkyrie as my number 2. My playstyle involves sticking and moving so I'd warp~dogde, a tactic that doesn't get used by others. Asari dash can cancel out the animation for warp allowing you to dash in or around enemis immediately after the warp projectile is cast. Number 3 is TSent. The true Jack-of-All-Trades of the MP roster, whether it be my melee build or my weapons build, there's nothing he can't deal with quickly. I love the Evicserator on this guy and I can keep the Wraith under wraps for plat.

 

Infiltrator

 

Salarian, Shadow. SI is the OG of OP. His edge over GI is more survivability and being capable of tech explosions. I always feel like he's for an innate accuracy modifier with sniper rifles when I play him. Shadow is my favorite infiltrator and with my SS/VENOM build can deal with everything. SS can do ridiculous, nearly Javelin-like damage vs armor with an extremely strong heavy melee that nearly rivals the KroLord. ES is a fun detonator that can really suppress aggressive mooks.

 

Vanguard.

 

Novaguard and Cabal. Novaguard is the most survivable Vanguard in the game and with a biotic team full of casters even the geth get overwhellmed with ease. Great potential for a melee build as well. Cabal is able to synchronize any team type. With Turian passives and BF, she makes a perfect weapons build. With NB can shut down aggressive mooks and follow up with PS. She is perhaps the most maneuverable kit in the game as no other character can go from the middle of Ghost to the top right side instantly.

[q5tyhj]

Probably should have a topic on what the "best" means.

Nah, the answer is still Vorcha Sentinel.

[Oni Changas]

Honorable mention to Vorcha Sentinel. Only problem is squishyness. He is undoubtebly the king of FBW and FBGlacier. So much dps and no need to even spec into passives.

[filippopotame]

I'm surprised nobody mentionned the Geth Trooper 

He's got a lots of perks (but so do the other kits) but I think what makes him the best (or one of the 3 bests) is his unparalleled ratio between durability and AOE dps. No other kit can take out spawns that fast without needing to refill its grenades.

If you are not conviced well the fastest platinum solo was made with him, that's got to mean something.

I honestly don't think there is a better build thaht this : http://kalence.drupa...24F53384!D7DE3C

[Catastrophy]

Too many to list.

[PatrickBateman]

The Batarian Brawler Vanguard, he carried my scrubby ass through the more difficult platinum solo maps like Condor.

I thought about the GT, but found that the Flamer range (15m at best) limited him. Hunter mode also boosts weapon damage but infiltrators still dominate as best weapons platforms.

 

 An hybrid build with Acolyte and a long range weapon can put the GT in the top 5 though.

No, it wasn't.

 

Still, I agree it's a very good kit.

 

Also the build is pretty good, but if you're looking to really maximize your effectiveness I'd take rate of fire on rank 5 of HM. Also swap a cyclonic for a power amp of course, if you can manage to stay alive XD
