Here in the twilight of ME3 MP, I enjoy going back to kits that never really clicked with me. Right now I want to find a fun Geth Engy build that uses his (its?) unique offerings.
Other Geth characters I already take advantage of the accuracy bonus (Raider GethInf). Right now I'm thinking maybe a power based Geth Engy, max out the damage on the Flamethrower turret, and use a GPR just for the sake of lore.
Anything fun you like to do with this guy?

Falcon GE with Incendiary is delicious vs Geth for all the fire explosions and debilitating Overload chains.

Is this a homage to Legion? If not, then a Javelin would be better as it benefits from Geth weapon damage bonuses. |

This is currently what I've tried a few times on Platinum to excellent results. Best way to handle Phantoms is by whipping out your turret so she bubbles, then drill her.

I use him with the phaeston because I don't have the Harrier yet. The extra rof from Hunter mode lets you put incendiary effects on quickly for fire explosions. Then I go for the geth plasma shotgun to stagger melee enemies, such as Dragoons. Then I go for full shield restoration on the geth turret.

The geth engie is one of my favourite character and certainly the one I did the most solos with. It's quite a unique one. The thing is that you'll find yourself building him depending on what weapon you're using wheras on most classes you'll choose a weapon to complement the build. he's got many perks : - Geth Turret : heals and can prime fire explosions (its damage is really low, so you won't get much out of a damage focused turret). It triggers phantom bubble and banshee hand of denial for double hits and it acts as a compass. It'll always shoot in the direction of the ennemy whether there's a wall or not between them
- Geth fitness : high shields that recharge faster thatn normal. This basically means that you'll need fitness less as a cyclonic modulator will compensate (more than on a human for instance)
- Overload : it can serve many purposes on this build : strip shields to supress shieldate, detonate tech combos or stun/do crowd control
- Hunter mode gives you awareness, mobility and damage. It can also buff weapons like shotguns and talon with accuracy and fire rate bonuses.
- Geth weapons multiplicative damage bonus
So depending on your weapon you can forge your own build to take advantage of this perks. Here are a few examples : - Tech Combos build Darth Volus build is excellent. He's really the only character that makes the geth pulse rifle work. The build is centered around fire explosions (or tech bursts) that will be set up by the weapons and occasionaly by the turret (the priming window is very short) and damage bonus to geth weapons. Alternatively a geth plasma shotgun or an adas would work really well.
- A pure weapons build. Just slap a good shotgun (like tha claymore) or a talon, stun things with overload (while strip shields) and let the accuracy/fire rate bonuses do their job. You just run aroud wallhacking, stunning and killing stuff
- Sniper Build. If you want to use a heavy sniper like the javelin, you can take advantage of the cooldown bonuses and power damage bonuses of hunter mode to boost overload. This makes it a very good sniper build that can oneshot every mook and take advantage of the damage bonus of warp rounds vs bosses. You'll get + 15% multiplicative damage to your javelin as it's a geth weapon
- Saber/Paladin build. The idea is to strip mooks shields and headshot them while taking advantage of the wallhack and fire-rate/accuracy bonuses.
- Weapons + Combos build. Best of both worlds, tech combos + hunter mode enhanced guns.
Basically the possibilities are endless, here's a few vids

4/6/6/6/4 is my build, I want HM and passives maxed for damage. He's squishy though so for platinum bring high level cyclonics.
You could go for lower Points in fitness and more points into dmg on the turrets for messing around on Gold, but then again who want to do that?

Split 4/4 between turret and fitness. Talon, AP ammo. Aim for the heads. The rest should be straightforward.

I would say this build i roll with its fairly unusual but it works great, i have very little trouble on gold. BuildGeth SMG is great for shield/barrier stripping, incendiary ammo and turret with flamer to be able to do a lot of fire explosions for those pesky Armour units (Armour stripping is main problem with this kit tho), mooks with health are easily taken out since geth SMG can set few of them for explosion and chain overload hits 2 of them so anything in area gets burned, so good crowd control. Rest of the turret is for shield regen just in case of pesky objectives like hacks. Fitness at 4 just because i hate being too squishy specially with the hunter mode. Also instead of Geth SMG it works well with sniper rifles like valiant. |

So I tried the following build, which turned out to be quite stagger-licious: Staggerful EngyBetween the Falcon and Overload anything that came into view was staggered before it could do any serious damage on me. Plus, Overload detonates the Incendiary Ammo from the Falcon shots. If it didn't suck so much off host you could probably do even more damage with a Venom, or a Scorpion perhaps (but less damage there). You could probably also very easily lose rank 6 of NAI and instead put it in rank 6A of HM. I threw my turret at them to double up on the Incendiary effects while I continued to stun and OL them. Lots of booms ensued. It was pretty fun. |

Really good kit with the wraith. Use the overload to reload hide. He is an absolute fucking monster. Csmg is also good on him with the rof bonus. If you just like popping domes though, saber with drill rounds is also therapeutic fun.
