You might take damage getting to cover, but the moment your Charge cooldown finishes you can Charge again to be at full shields. Since the Champion evolution slows time for a few seconds after a Charge, itвЂ™s possible to Charge into a small cluster of opponents, staggering an unprotected one and immediately pivoting to kill or seriously injure another one before hitting nearby cover. Simply put, you can engage in tactics that would get any other class killed, but since you can endure you can destroy enemies faster than any other class in many cases.ДЄgainst unprotected enemies near ledges, Charge is effectively a one-shot kill that throws them over, and you emerge with full shields ready to take out a nearby opponent. The VanguardвЂ™s in-your-face style means youвЂ™ll take a lot of damage, but knowing that every 6 seconds (less with upgrades) you can smash into a new enemy to destroy with your shotgun and be at 100% shields (when fully upgraded with Champion evolution), the skill becomes your lifeline. Charge also works as a retreat method if you find yourself surrounded and unable to find quick cover, but thereвЂ™s a far away enemy near some cover.Д«ut perhaps the most important aspect of Biotic Charge is that it refills your shields/barriers.

Tactically, you can zip around the battlefield without having to jump between cover, flanking enemies and picking off isolated ones very quickly.

#MASS EFFECT 2 BONUS POWERS VANGUARD UPGRADE#

The Vanguard is a DPS class, so this ammo upgrade is in my opinion an essential one.Д«iotic ChargeВ is the staple of the Vanguard class for a couple reasons. Using fully upgraded Inferno Ammo on a shotgun point blank after a Biotic Charge makes short work of most enemies even if youвЂ™ve charged them while they still have armor. The class may not have warp to deal with barriers and armor directly, but shotguns like the Eviscerator or SMGs like the Locust in ME2 blow through enemy defenses faster in my experience than using warp does. Not only does it roast through armor, when maxed out it can add 50% weapon damage to attacks (as burning) and has a burst AOE effect, making SMGs and shotguns (VanguardвЂ™s staple weapons) significantly more powerful. The Vanguard may not have Singularity like the Adept or Overload like an Engineer, but the combination of strategic biotics with really powerful weapon skills makes overcoming opposition easier than youвЂ™d think.

An Overview of the VanguardвЂ™s Skills and Why TheyвЂ™re Powerful It takes some practice to play the class at its best, but it makes the game feel much faster paced (and Shepard very powerful) when done right. The Vanguard is high risk, high reward style. IвЂ™ve come to see that the Vanguard is almost as versatile but significantly more powerful. Since the game gimps the weapon damage output of your squadmates compared to ShepardвЂ™s, being a вЂњhide in coverвЂќ support character that relies on teammates to dish it out seems slower and clunkier than being in the heart of it. YouвЂ™re a survivor with great defenses, but not very powerful. ItвЂ™s a great utility class, but you feel like a support character rather than a badass soldier. Over time, though, one glaring weakness of the Sentinel became apparent to me.
