Avengers – N7 Kit Builds – Part 2: Angara Avenger

What makes her special?

The Angara avenger I perceive as a mixture from a vanguard and an infiltrator with heavy weight on infiltrator. In my humble opinion the strongest kit so far in MEAMP! I’ve done many gold APEX missions with randoms from the community and I’m constantly using different characters, also the “weaker” ones (there are no real weak ones). Whenever I see a mission failing I normally run a second attempt with same group of people (provided they stay in the lobby) and Angara avenger and then in most cases we succeed.

What is unique about her?

First of all her avenger strike which basically already is a combination of two skills, namely charge and melee attack. But provided in one action only. Sounds strong? It is. With standard vanguards you charge and afterwards melee attack. This character does it all at once in one go. Veeeery strong! But if that wouldn’t be enough the above build (6a) let’s you even stun your victim for a few seconds after attack leaving it predisposed for the blessings of your Hurricane/Piranha/Equalizer/Charger/… or whatever weapon you prefer.

When it comes to tactical cloak/stealth grid I personally prefer the energy cell based infiltrator builds like Angara Avenger and Asari Huntress over the power recharged based like Human Infiltrator, Salarian Infiltrator and Turian Agent. Although recharging makes you independent on ammo boxes you are always prone to weapon exposure during two cloaking cycles even with the best recharge time reduction time booster (power efficiency). With energy cells you “only” need to travel between ammo boxes which sometimes can take a few attempts if they ran out of supply but in general will allow you to have much longer uninterrupted cloak times.

Finally grenades. Above build provides you with each five energy cells for grenades and cloak. Power capacity boosters will bring you up to nine if required. In addition to being able to instantaneously bridge distance to foes by combined charge/melee avenger strike and running around invisible you have a handful of grenades which can take out every enemy in the game. Just a question of number of grenades required. But as you can carry up to five ammo packs it’s easy to reload for bosses even if no ammo box is available in close distance (spare the ammo packs however for waves 5/6 if possible).

That’s basically it. Standard foes – run around, charge/jump/avenger strike them and if required finish with your weapon. Bosses taken down with a combination of cloak and grenades and maybe finishing off as well with your weapon. And don’t forget you have a few cobras at hand as well if required. Stealth grid in general used for reviving downed team mates and doing objectives – you are speed! If you would like to have only one kit in this game – most likely it would be this one.
Have fun.


And please, please, please Bioware, please Michael Gamble, don’t!!! nerf the N7 characters. We/I wanna keep some fun toys. 

Not knocking the build, just trying to help out.
There are a lot of things in the game that do not work as advertised. In the numerical data tests thread stickied at the top of the page, you will find all info. It is the Mass Effect Andromeda Bible of testing. THANK YOU TESTERS!

It was confirmed by the testers on here that ONLY melee mods/equipment/boosters affect Avenger Strike.
Power mods do NOTHING for it.

one booster that does stand out for the Avenger that does boost grenades and strike is the Universal Power Amp.
This mods increases power (grenades), melee (including Avenger Strike), and even weapon damage (basically everything on the Avenger).
The strength enhancer booster will also boost Avenger Strike (as well as melee).

Thanks, always willing to learn something.

I will stick for the time being with the Enhanced Munition gear anyway as it's effect on grenade damage is highly tempting. Maybe to replaced with Armored Compartments later on which should deliver more energy cells. Base damage vs. number grenades. We will see...
