Scions are extremely annoying for sure. They usually kill my teammates (who are behind cover like the AI wants them to be) and get shockwaved to death. Then I have to run out into the open and just keep running in circles around it pelting it with bullets or powers like a gnat trying to take down an elephant all by myself.



Praetorian guards are pretty darn annoying too. Three or four times, I'll almost kill it, and it'll just regenerate all its health before I can finish it off, wasting precious ammo and resources.



And don't get me started on husks that all have shields. I miss being able to just "throw" husks around like ragdolls rather than running from them like a scared little girl.

If I see that goddamn Scion

Luckily, as an Engineer, I have Incinerate, and seeing as I seldom go anywhere without Dr. Solus, we make quick work of their armor. The best way to survive ME2 is to set everything on fire, all the time.

Now this is a hate thread I can get in on.

Surprisingly, this ME strategy translates well into real life.

Flammable... Or Inflammable? Forgot which. Doesn't matter!

Praetorian < Scion



Praetorian I can book it from cover to cover, avoiding the eye beams or the melee crash.



Scions just kinda slowly hobble towards my cover and launch shockwaves. Grah! Can't shake those guys, because they only show up in places where there's no new cover to run to!



The most annoying are the ones in the collector ship trap. Because they have floating platforms to drive them around! Scions are bad enough, but highly MOBILE Scions? Urg!

I still stand by my Thresher Mawmance. How can you not like them? their mouths look like a vagina for crying out loud!

That was an epic tragedy, I'll admit.

To get the achievement, I need to destroy you!

But I love you!

But the points!

There is no one else for me but you!

I can't live like this!

Well I took pity on the ol' girl. I shot the finishing blow in its mouth. ;]

I definitely hated the two scions on Horizon the most... being a sentinel on insanity, warp was the only useful thing to use against them, and there are so many husks....



I almost had to quit and come back later.

[Maria Caliban]

Their shots don't 'ignore cover.'



As they waddle around, they're easy enough to beat for all but one fight. When I first met them on Horizon, both my squadies went down (cover - wut is?) so I took on the scions with my heavy pistol and inferno ammo.

[Proud Larry]

Yeah you're safe from their shockwave guns if you're behind cover, but my idiot squadmates seem programmed to pop up and shoot over cover JUST when the shockwave was about to pass over them.



That's why I take Grunt and Jacob to the collector ship, at least I can order them to use Fortification or Barrier as soon as they eat a shockwave to the face.

[shinobi602]

Definitely the thread for me. **** Scions.

[Shipwr3K]

lol they are so easy to kill, even on insanity. dog like mobs and husk are more annoying.

lol, my infiltrator and mordin have the same tactic. both of us with area incinerate= husks most fun enemy to fight.

i didnt really hate them until i played them on my sentinel (i could just burn them to death before...). they do have insane amounts of armor, and a really cheap ranged attack, but praetorians are the real a**holes to fight. i sympathize with those getting it to no health only to have it go all "IMA BE INVINCABLE AND CHARGING UP MAH SHIELDS TOO", and it is really aggravating when their death effect looks like the invincible/re-barrier thing. i always end up cursing at the TV thinking it just recharged, only to have it melt away...

I think the worse scenario in that case is "oh, finally, I killed it ."  and then "oh, ****, it's back."

[Mitch0821]

I hate the Scions as well. They are the first and only opponents in the game where after I killed it I said, "You know what, I freaking hate these things. They just take everything!!" Granted the first time you fight them, you don't have access to any of the "uber" weapons, but still. My main problem isn't killing them, it's doing enough damage to them before they one shot kill my teammates. Seeing as you're always getting rushed or attacked by some other enemey, being all by yourself while being rushed by baddies with Scions basically sitting back and sniping you, that's a big problem. I hate using Unity on your partners, because they'll just get one shot killed again anyway. Very annoying. Screw Scions.

[WarmachineX0]

I find scions easy on any diffuculty level, they melt to shot gun fire, and if your playing a vangaurd, charge through their shockwave, you won't be hit.

But what I hate are husks, I mean how the hell does my shotgun miss at point blank?

I didn't find any enemy hard, but having a millions husks coming at you is just plain annoying!

Yea, I got good a quick switching to the flamethrower.

[AtreiyaN7]

Well, I think it's safe to say scions are worthy of hate, but not as much hate as a praetorian. My hatred for praetorians is about 100 times more powerful than my hatred for scions.

I can't decide whether they're extremely annoying to fight, or incredibly annoying to fight. They're the infuriating combination of having a zillion hitpoints, being armored, and having an unblockable (i.e. ignores cover) attack that's difficult to dodge at close range.

'Scuse me, but... what? You don't even have to be in cover for that thing to miss, standing behind a knee-high crate is enough. True that it's nearly impossible to dodge while out in the open and that Scions are the most exasperating enemy in the game, though.

I hate them. So much. >=(

[Alexandus]

Scions and Praetorians are both extremely annoying. Scions have the go-through-cover shockwave, while Praetorians happily follow you until they're face to face with you.



However, I think Praetorians are the most annoying for their Ret Paladin impression. BUBBLE SHIELD ATTTTACKKK!



2 seconds later.



BUBBLE SHIELD ATTACK! I IS RECHARGED!



But Scions usually come in pairs. They remind me of hunters from Halo, but not nearly as much fun to fight (They lack the 1 hit pistol zone in the back)



In conclusion, death to all scions and praetorians. A very painful, slow death. And the Reaper that invented them should die an even more painful, slow death.

Ok, why the hell are so many people complaining of that? It never happened to me. Maybe it's a bug.

[KrazyKomrade]

Scions...forget common sense and logic, I demand my squad run around like madmen to avoid its attacks and burn every last round to down them.
