I use her when there's a couple of teammates with primers: Krogan Merc, Gladi, Assdept etc Also much prefer Stealth Grid over Tac Cloak for utility (ie anything but killing), as it trivialises any objective. So if there's no infiltrators, or they look PUGy, I may take either Huntress (as noted above, if primers about) or the Angara Avenger. But yes she's pretty boring in isolation. This is pretty much my thought process when deciding whether to pick her. It's very situational for me. I'll consider taking her if there's no other cloak/stealth grid characters AND at least one teammate is a priming beast (and I need to level her up a bit . I've been trying to level up all my characters at the same rate, they are all around 18/19 now).

They all seem fairly boring to me honestly. Sadly this too. I find most "weapon platforms" boring: I've been playing some DOOM Snapmap (up to 4 player co-op) with friends, and the gun combat is so much more satisfying. Guns feel powerful. Enemies explode. Enemies are dangerous. Gameplay is smooth and fluid. Mass Effect has always been about the power-kits for me, and MEAMP doesn't really have that many satisfying ones.

I mean the character is just a copy paste of the adept but with stealth grid. So now you can be invisiburu and run away and stuff. Much cool. But it's worse for killing things than combat cloak and it's a worse character for combos since the AA has annihilation field. Where's the synergy between stealth grid and lance/throw? Do you prime stuff with ammo powers and throw stealth grid boosted lances or what's the deal? Someone enlighten me on how to make this character not a bore plz. Mine is sitting at a solid rank X level 1 currently. If someone can sell me a build that sounds fun I might start levelling it up but it's a big if. I like her. Throw with radius and 5a to prime, lance with radius to detonate. Play her mid to long range with a gun that's good at stripping shields. Shadow or PAW.

I liked the Huntress specced for melee. Personally I think the Salarian Infiltrator is the most boring.

I liked the Huntress specced for melee. Personally I think the Salarian Infiltrator is the most boring. Well his stickies are powerful enough to blow up a full heatlh berserker in 2 throws with the right build and the enhanced munitions. He can nuke any amored target at will and that's pretty fun imo. So he at least has a niche where he is better at something than the rest of the classes. And technical rounds on rank 6 of his passives is really good too. Huntress is both boring and worse at most things than the other kits. She is a worse infiltrator than all the other infiltrator, she is worse at doing combos than pretty much all the casters. So she really does not have a niche at all. Her niche must be that she has steatlh grid for people that don't own the avenger yet but that's not a very compelling argument for me to play her since my avenger is rank 8. Or anyone who has put some time in an owns even an avenger 1. The other gold tier characters are solid. Insurgent, merc, architect post buff, turian havoc and turian agent are all really good and I like them more than most of the ultra rares. But huntress is such a lame kit and not even that strong.

She's the medic with the sniper rifle. Her usefulness scales with the scrubbyness of of pugs. Probably the best medic. Good as sniper, too. I go full weapon stuff and throw 6 as panic button.

She is a worse infiltrator than all the other infiltrator, she is worse at doing combos than pretty much all the casters. So she really does not have a niche at all. Well, that's precisely her niche, I'd say - a biotic infiltrator, obviously worse at each thing than specialised kits. Whether that's properly done in game is another matter, but she shouldn't be better than an adept at combos, and so on. That said, why is she "a worse infiltrator than all the other infiltrators"? How do you measure that anyway? I'm guessing you mean weapon damage, but that isn't exactly infiltrating. I like her. Throw with radius and 5a to prime, lance with radius to detonate. Play her mid to long range with a gun that's good at stripping shields. Shadow or PAW. I've thought about trying this combo, but isn't it a bit complicated to hit enemies with Lance after tossing them around with Throw? Also, do you leave Stealth grid at 1, or do you have several skills at half ranks?

But she is shittier at being a medic than the angara avenger as well as being a worse damage dealer? Avenger has stealth grid too but also bioelectric ward to keep the pugs alive in the first place. And 85% enemy damage debuff on avenger strike. The huntress has nothing like that. Or you could build the salarian infiltrator to be a bettter medic with tactical revive and team energy drain.

I can see that would beat the Huntress as medic.

Trip mines have been the most zzz power for me always. A personal opinion of course. Insurgent is powerful but just not for me.
