Primal Adept
Halona Shepard was always an outcast. A colonist of Native American descent, brought up according to the traditions of her people but losing it all in a blink of an eye with the slaver attack on Mindoir. She did not allow that to break her, however. Finding a new home at the Alliance military she was able to overcome the demons haunting her since the attack and saved Elysium from Mindoir's fate. Little did she know that the toughest fight of her life was yet to come - the fight for survival of all organic civilizations!
The Build
The Primal Adepts bring raw biotic power and crowd control to the war. Capable of controlling and destroying entire groups of enemies with their Singularities and Shockwaves, they are prized throughout the military and praised by their comrades in arms!
Shockwave: Force & Damage, Reach, Lifting Shockwave
The detonator power that can also prime targets for extra punishment. In combination with Kaidan's Reave / Liara's Warp and Shepard's Singularity, this power can clear entire rooms of enemies.
Singularity: Duration, Lift Damage, Expand
The main crowd control tool of Primal Adepts. Allows to immobilize/prime multiple targets for biotic explosions and squadmate fire. Used as an opener in fights and in choke points to prevent enemy approach.
Biotic Mastery: Damage & Force, Damage & Capacity, Power Mastery
The focus here is on power damage, which is then combined with bonuses from armor and intel, making Shockwave damage a deadly tool of mass destruction.
Fitness: Durability, Barrier Recharge, Fitness Expert
Primal Adept is a survivor and her physique reflects that. Despite not being hit a lot due to the playstyle, they need that extra boost for the toughest combat encounters.
Squadmates
Kaidan and Liara are used as primary squadmates, with EDI replacing Kaidan before the coup. Kaidan has both Overload and Reave which makes him very useful as a priming squadmate. EDI has Incinerate which is used against boss-type enemies and in combination with Kaidan's Reave make short work of armor. Liara can both prime and detonate explosions with her Warp and her Singularity is very useful for crowd control.

Alliance Officer: Durability, Biotic Damage, Squad Bonus (power damage)
EDI

Equipment
The only weapon used is the Talon pistol. This playstyle does not involve a lot of shooting but it does need a decent firearm for CQC and Talon covers that role perfectly. It's light, allowing 200% cooldown bonus and benefits from the Power Magnifier mod, giving even more damage to Shepard's powers.
