My fav characters (warning: incoming wall o' text)

With all the talk of how much better ME3 MP was, I'd like to share some thoughts about MP characters I've really enjoyed playing in ME:A (in no particular order).

Human adept - She was one of my fav characters in ME3 after they fixed singularity (but found her too squishy in platinum) - a real combo machine. On paper, the ME:A version is inferior, with pull instead of warp, and long cool downs. But after playing her, I actually find her more fun than in ME3.

For one, pull is actually useful in ME:A. Two, using her powers is more situational. In ME3, it was almost always singularity first, then either warp or shockwave. Rinse, repeat. In ME:A, the separate cool downs mean you have to be more aware and anticipate the timings. Also, jumping in and jetpacking, and throwing shockwave in mid-air to multi-detonate singularity is really cool. The increased speed and maneuvability makes shockwave more useful and fun to play. In ME:A, she's my go-to character. Also, she should be the canon LI in SP. The game would have gotten much better reviews (well, I'm only half serious).

Asari adept - In ME3, she was straightforward (but a bit dull) to play, using warp-throw combo, and stasis to stop phantoms and small groups. In ME:A, she's more like a cross between the N7 Fury (shield-lance build) and Asari valkryie (throw build), IMHO. While she's not as exciting to play as the N7 Fury, I find the extra maneuverability (from jump and jet pack) makes the new AA fun in her own right. She's also not chained to a particular weapon, like the Fury with the Acolyte (though I personally preferred the Scorpion), and the Reegar on the Valk.

Asari sentinel - So she's the new Valkryie? In any case, I love that backlash! IMHO, probably the most fun new power. Nothing more satisfying than deflecting an attack and angling it to take out a couple of other enemies. It's like playing a mini-game of billiards while a war rages on around you. It's just missing the British commentators whispering, "That was an excellent shot!"

Asari duelist - My fav character in ME:A. If you're a fan of Rurouni Kenshin, you know what I mean. She's what the N7 Slayer should have been - a true melee character. IMHO, she's the near-perfect synergy of "god-like speed" with charge, jet pack and blink dodge, and Battoujutsu (i.e. i-frames sword strike), with backlash for defense. She is the closest approximation of the Battousai in any game I can think of.

Being able to charge into a group of berserkers, dogs and redbars, and cut them all down without firing a single shot is something else. I'd like to thank whoever at BW designed her. I'll probably be spending many hours to perfect her striking and dodging - be one with the sword.

Salarian architect - While ME:A's version of the turret is pretty awful compared to the pets in ME3, the Remnant VI is awesome (since the buff). I also like the look and design of the character. Being able to prime for all three tech powers, then call in an air strike, makes him interesting and fun.

Kineticist - The glass-cannon N7 Fury. What hasn't already been said? Still trying to figure out how to play her in platinum though.

Honouable mentions to the Turian agent, Kromerc and Batscrap (or whatever people call him).  Thanks for reading!
