As the question implies, I know that the class system is radically different in Andromeda, and that your squadmate's classes are not things like Vanguard, Sentinel, etc. Instead it's things like "Biotic Commando" or "Crisis Specialist" and such.
But if one were to go with the classic class names, what would our squadmates be?
I doubt there's any "right" answer here, so I'm not concerned with precision, but if I were to take a crack at it...
Cora = Vanguard/Sentinel *DEFENDER*
I think the Vanguard is an easy one here, but I also put Sentinel because of her tech power. It really fits the Sentinel "ethos" of supporting the team, and can even heal in addition to shield restoration.
Liam = Soldier/Vanguard *SHOCK TROOPER*
I put Soldier because of his Frag Grenades, but also Vanguard because even though he has no biotic abilities, his combat style is very up-close-n-personal, personified by Havoc Strike. If there was ever a tech-based Vanguard class, Liam would be it.
Vetra = Sentinel/Soldier *WARDEN*
I have Vetra as a Sentinel because of her Power Armor (I wish I could have that skill myself, but ah well), and Soldier because of her assault rifle and Turbocharge. She tanks like a Sentinel typically can and her weapons-fire is Grade-A Soldier performance.
Peebee = Adept/Engineer *SKIRMISHER*
Strangely enough, I don't see Peebee as a Sentinel at all because she is mostly biotic, and while she does have Invasion, most of her tech stuff is regarding the Remnant, especially the Remant VI power you can get.
Drack = Soldier/Engineer *COMBAT ENGINEER*
I see Drack as a classic 'Combat Engineer' type; shotguns, Blood Rage, and Flak Cannon. Incinerate and Flak Cannon are enough for me to think "Engineer" even though Flak Cannon is a combat ability.
Jaal = Infiltrator/Engineer *SABOTEUR*
The fact that Jaal uses a sniper rifle sets him firmly in Infiltrator territory, but his Energy Drain and the fact that Angaran armor for Ryder is all about tech makes me see how Jaal has some Engineer-esque setting to it.
That's how I see it anyway, the ALL-CAPS is my idea of a class name like something you the player might pick if given the option.
