Avengers – N7 Kit Builds – Part 1: Asari Duelist

What makes her special?

First of all the N7 characters are kind of mixtures from different classes. The Asari duelist I perceive as a mixture from a vanguard and a sentinel. However what a strong one!
Did you ever want to run through the battlefield like a tarantula on speed? Not bothering about useless barriers like walls or rocks? Try her, she is a different experience. So what is it all about?

First her sentinel-like backlash skill. Perfect against Remnant observers, Kett destined and how are these cloaking Kett guys with shotguns called? Yes, you got it, the anointed. Just watch them all committing suicide when shooting against your aegis shield.

Second her vanguard-like melee attack – Asari sword. It’s strong although the animation takes a little bit of time. But with the build above plus juggernaut shield believe me she can easily instant-kill the majority of cannon fodder in one attack.

Third she can charge. Meaning you see a foe at long distance across the map (Icebreaker for instance)? Just jump over, melee attack and done even on gold. For the bosses and semi-bosses like berserkers of course you still should shoot after melee to finish off otherwise Asari sword must be used several times and do the close combat knife work (but it works).

Now the fourth and most important, the very unique one. Teleportation. Both her melee attack and dodging maneuver teleport you through everything in your way. Ever having been fed up with your character running through rooms on Zero or Magma to get to the next device? Not so with Lethal Gertrud. Run her directly to the wall, dodge and you are in the next room (or can get you from one to the outside), next wall, dodge, next room…

No other character can bridge the space between A and B as quickly as she can, only charge can go over larger distances quicker but that obviously requires a foe at hand.

Ever jumped on the platform on Zero separating the two travel paths from spawning/exfiltration and camping zone at the other end of the map? Of course you did. With Gertrud just run to the rock, dodge and you will find yourself (herself to be precise) on top and end of the platform ready to charge to the next foe you see on the other travel path. Jumping through walls directly into a crowd of enemies who didn’t see you coming and creating a little bit of confusion and quickly escape through the next wall in case skirmish becomes a little bit tight? – no worries. With her everything is possible.

You see, I clearly have a few of my funds with her and I really do like this character. It’s quick, it’s strong and teleporting is pure undiluted utmost fun. The one and only killer bride! And imho best vanguard!

Have fun.

Formatting could use some work. Maybe a link to the character planer/editor thingy.

Thanks for the feedback. My first try hence I ask for merciful appraisal.

Formatting I did in word however it obviously doesn't copy it.

I added a few paragraphs maybe that helps a little bit.

Character planer/editor? Most likely I missed something...

Could you illuminate me, please?
