Powers, Skill Trees and Active Abilities (Official Thread)

I am pretty sure what explode behind the Fiend is something thrown by either Liam or Cora.

A grenade wouldn't explode because the cooldown ended on the skill. They usually explode on impact, unless it is a sticky grenade where there have an internal timer not tied to the skill. Like proximity mine if not triggered. Even if 4 is not concussive shot, I'm pretty sure it is not a grenade skill either.

I also doubt that 3 is concussive shot. It impact animation doesn't seems to fit to me. While skill 4 looks like concussive shot amplified with incendiary ammo as it does in ME3.

Hmmm... I went back and had a look at the footage in slo-mo at 3:45. I'm confident that #4:
- is fired from the weapon, not thrown
- has multiple, arcing projectiles
- explodes on impact (all projectiles seem to hit the fiend in this instance)
I'll amend #4 accordingly.

The impact animation for #3 (at 2:32, 2:52 and 3:18) is a little different to the concussive shot impact animation from ME3, although this could just be a stylistic choice for MEA. It seems to make a warped/disruption effect on impact but it still has the stagger the concussive shot had.

The firing animation and the trajectory look the same as for concussive shot in ME3. It also appears to set off a tech burst, which CS can do.

The symbol is what still makes me think that it is concussive shot, as it is very similar to the previous games. You could be right that it is something new, tho. I'll note that in the OP.

Love this thread.

Yeah I noticed that too. It basically killed everything it hit. Might be a particular evolution that does damage to armour, perhaps.

Mind you, the level 6 amplified (SP) and hammer (MP) CS upgrades in ME3 were pretty powerful in terms of increased damage.

Good call!  I never unlocked the Destroyer but I just looked that power up.  Seems to be it.

I'll amend the OP.

Forgive my idiocy but why is everyone saying this is Energy Drain?

It seems the stun effect on the enemies resembles the same I used to get from Overload.
Could this be an Energy Drain/Overload combo power?

I didn't notice that it arced between enemies! I'll re-label it 'chain energy drain'.

I hope they still have chain overload as a separate power. It was soooooo useful for stunning mooks.

Time to revive the thread, we've seen more abilities!


Edit: Oh, and

Yeah, I'm too lazy to upload pictures

Is Invasion limited to Peebee only or can Ryder use it to?

Ah thanks.  This might make Samantha Ryder a more pure engineer build, what with all those cool sounded tech abilities and it makes sense giving her character....but now I am just growing concerned that this three power limit thing could actually become an issue. 

Did somebody say Flak Cannon?
