Prothean Soldier
The Cipher did not leave Garrett Shepard's mind unscarred. A seasoned soldier, he did not allow this to be visible for his subordinates but one name was constantly on his thoughts, haunting him - Tarrik, a Prothean Soldier who has sacrificed his team to ensure that the records of Ilos research facility were destroyed. Deep inside Shepard's mind, a human fought an endless battle with a member of a long dead race with no visible catalyst to ensure the victory of the either side...
The Build
The combination of biotic power and gunplay with the focus on bringing vengeance upon the Reapers, wielding the weapon of a race they had thought long since destroyed - this is what the Prothean Soldier is all about.
Adrenaline Rush: Damage, Duration, Bonus Power
Adrenaline Rush takes the Particle Rifle to a new level. Time Dilation gives more time to line up a shot and allows to keep the beam on the enemy easier. Bonus power evolution allows to cast Dark Channel while under the effect of Adrenaline Rush and stagger enemies, making them an easy target for becoming a pile of goo.
Combat Mastery: Damage, Headshots, Weapon Master
The duration evolution here is taken primarily to increase the duration of the Adrenaline Rush and improve damage output that way. Headshots allow to deal extra damage with the extremely accurate Particle Rifle. Weapon Master evolution is one of the most useful ones here as it improves the damage done by ammo powers and Liara's Warp Ammo gets a noticeable increase in efficiency.
Fitness: Durability, Shield Recharge, Fitness Expert
The focus here is on durability as the Particle Rifle requires you to stay out of cover for long. The current setup allows for prolonged periods of concentrated fire which can be devastating in combination with...
Dark Channel: Duration, Slow, Pierce
A bit of an odd choice for a Soldier but not when you consider all the variables. Liara's Warp Ammo gives 62.5% bonus to Shepard's damage against "lifted" targets which includes targets primed for biotic explosions, something Dark Channel does greatly. Cast it on an enemy and keep the beam of the Particle Rifle on them, stagger from Dark Channel allows you to decimate entire groups of enemies.
Squadmates
Javik and Liara are an ideal team for this character. Javik fits with the roleplay but also his Pull provides quite useful crowd control functions and Dark Channel can serve as an extra priming power for when yours is on the cooldown. Liara is the Warp Ammo provider but also the detonator of biotic explosions which can be used against exceptionally tough enemies or groups.
Javik
Dark Channel: Damage, Recharge Speed, Pierce
Pull: Radius, Expose, Double Pull
Vengeful Ancient: Power Damage, Power Damage, Squad Bonus (power damage)
Liara
Warp Ammo: Squad Bonus, Headshots, Enhanced Warp
Warp: Detonate, Expose, Pierce
Pure Biotic: Recharge Speed, Duration & Force, Squad Bonus
Equipment
The only weapon you need here is the Particle Rifle. Endless ammo supply allows you not to worry about ammunition and its accuracy makes it a very precise instrument of destruction. For mods I use Magazine Upgrade (to have more time for the beam) and Piercing Mod (to decimate those pesky guardians and damage enemies without interrupting the beam).
