Ctrl+F "Claymore headshot" not found

I'm afraid your strategy is missing something extremely vital.

Claymore Fury plays differently from Acolyte Fury. The strategy TheThirdRace mentioned has you always on the edge of your AF radius for quick re-priming. An on-host Acolyte Fury can indeed detonate BEs as fast as the Trow CD permits.

^ Well that's one acolyte kit I don't think I've ever played.

I'm guessing on top of hosting, you also need to not be playing a slide show PSN version of this game to actually be able to dodge in and out that quickly. Even on host that wouldn't be feasible on PSN

Lol sometimes I forget I am responding with a PSN perspective to a game that plays different on PC

Human Adept Acolyte is one of my most played kits, love that set up. Great for Platinum, powerful for Gold and godly overkill for Silver / Bronze

Also would be a kit that has less variance in playstyles between platforms

You're right that mustard gameplay offers a lot more mobility, but it's not dodging in and out as you keep saying. The dodge is rarely used for re-priming and instead you move around that sweet spot where your AF radius ends by walking. Very little movement allows you to prime them again for another BE.

To do this reliably you need to be host, have a good grasp of your exact AF radius and use 'wasd' to move in circular patterns like he described.

To each his own and I highly respect that, but I've never been a shotgun fan I know it's heresy for some, but I preferred the multiple options the Acolyte provided. More on that later...


I don't know how the controls works on consoles, but on PC it's quite easy to move in a small circle in front of a target and prime/detone every 1.2 seconds. That's all I can really say, I can do it so I guess other people can too...


Exactly, the gun dictates more or less how you're gonna play the Fury. In fact, it's mostly true for every character since the gun is part of their arsenal and a good player will use each available power/gun to their maximum efficiency.


Oh I love biotics!!! Fury is my deadliest character, the Human Adept is my all-round best strongest character.

Just to put things in perspective, when I stopped playing (over 1000 hours) I had more Biotic God banners than any other player in the top 500. By a good margin at that... I played Biotics a lot...


I don't know how it was on PS3, but on PC you're right in saying that hosting was mostly required to be able to play the Fury the way I did. I could pull it off with some of my friends hosting, but I had to host most of the time when using the Fury.

I'll explain a bit more later down this post how I actually played her and how everything came together to make the Fury one of the deadliest character.


I actually picked Radius, it helped make the priming easier when using the circle motion described earlier.

The Acolyte was THE gun for any Biotic that wanted to use their powers more than their gun. Of course, if someone was to use a Claymore that would change the strategy to more shooting than powers. To each its own, mine was the Acolyte and I must say I became quite "adept" with all the physics the gun allowed.


As Cirvante points out, to do this reliably you need to host, have a good grasp of your exact AF radius and use 'wasd' to move in circular patterns.

The way I played the Fury was "unorthodox" in the sense that it's not the first instinct you have when you play her. It takes a good bit of practice and understanding of the patterns to do what I did with her, the most crucial element to make her "tic" was to know when to move in and when to stay back.


We talked about the circular motion, we talked about BEs, but I haven't explained how to actually pull it off.

Here's the build I used > kalence.weebly.com/me3-builder.html#17!4801565!2308525!24N52324!E9D55G


As I said earlier, you have to extract the most out of your arsenal and build to your strengths. Everything in that build is there to do that.

-- Remember, this strategy is highly efficient on Platinum, imagine on Gold... --

The strategy is quite simple: abuse Annihilation Field mechanics as much as you can. Evolution 6B (Drain) is what makes the Fury work using mostly powers.


When you see anything but an armored boss (yeah, it works awesome on phantoms!):

• Charge the Acolyte (don't shoot yet)
• Check your surroundings then at the right moment you rush right at the enemy (this is the tricky part)
• Don't worry about your shield taking a beating, there's the "shield gate" for that
• As soon as Annihilation Field primes the target, release the Acolyte and don't miss!
• The Acolyte destroys the enemy shield (3300+ damage) and with Drain evolution this is converted back to your shield which fully replenish
• Throw to detonate a BE on something that has no shield anymore and the 6000 damage from the BE mostly kills any small enemy 1 shot
• If needed, makes a small circular motion to get in and out of Annihilation Field's radius and Throw again for a certain kill

If you don't count the rushing in, all this takes place in about 1 second. It's really about coordinating all the moves together to unleash everything in a small amount of time.

This strategy would allow me to own phantoms over and over and over. When playing the Fury, I was mopping the floor with phantoms. My teammates would ask why there's like 30 phantoms in a wave... that's because I kept killing them instantly and they kept respawning, using up the wave spawn allotment.

The only thing you really need to be careful is to be aware of where your teammates are. This is because they can shoot the target you're rushing in and basically fuck you up since you won't get back the shield you lost rushing in...



The only remaining things then are armored bosses:

• If it has no sync kill, you can go around and use the same strategy as for the small enemies. A Prime cannot do anything against you since you move too fast in front of him
• If it has sync kill, sometime you can move around without much problems
• If you can't move around freely or it's too risky, use Dark Channel on a small enemy near the boss. Throw will detonate a BE and Dark Channel will move to another target prompting at least 2 BE in a short amount of time
• Use the N7 Hurricane to take down the armor

Honestly, most armored bosses are pretty easy to dispatch even on Platinum. I always had problems with Praetorians, but I stayed away when I could.

Most importantly, you also have teammates. While you mop the floor with about everything else, they can focus on the armored bosses. When you get the hang of it, you can be so freaking fast at killing with the Fury that they might not even have to shoot a small enemy in a wave. Glacier was incredible for the Fury, especially while teleporting thru walls. Glenn can testify to that, all you could hear was BEs every 2 seconds.


Now, here are the important tidbits of the build I suggested:

• Annihilation Field > Impact Radius (helps priming), Damage Taken (applies to BE), Drain (restore your shield)
• Dark Channel > Damage (never duration), Slow (helps a bit), Pierce (anything other than armor is dead in 1 second anyway)
• Throw > Radius (helps to miss less), Detonate (BE damage), Force and Damage (recharge would be to low anyway)
• N7 Fury > Damage and Capacity (helps cooldown and power damage)
• Fitness > Durability (small boost to shield)
• Who uses Cryo Ammo?!?!?! Me! They never prime a shielded enemy so your BEs are a sure thing and when they do prime when only health is remaining, they freeze the thing so it cannot move and a Throw will kill it anyway. It never messes with the actual kill and slow/freeze enemies, it only has advantages in this build
• Armor Bonus is Cyclonic Modulator to give you a bit of leeway while rushing in. When you get use to the rushing, you only need Cyclonic Modulator for Platinum, take Shield Power Cells on Gold
• Never underestimate the Geth Scanner. Knowing where enemies are is crucial in making your rushing as safe as possible. Situation awareness is probably your best ally... You could literally destroy Cerberus on Glacier just by yourself, simply because you know where things are and when to teleport for fast killing

As you can see, everything in this build is geared toward the strategy. You must use everything together to orchestrate the kill successfully and reliably.

Yes, Acolyte is a crutch which is dominating on all but two adepts (CGs strip shields just fine), flamer kits and vanguards. I am an Acolyte addict

It's about the one weapon in the game which doesn't really need an ammo mod to make it shine, although I do use phasic sometimes, disruptor on flamer kits, or if going for a speed run ill use warp ammo for when I switch to my sidearm. If I'm rolling with friends I'll troll with drill/explosive rounds and a targeting amp

Looking back in this thread I didn't mean to come off as dickish to anyone. My specialty is more the Valkryie, although that is an interesting concept for the Fury, to remain at the edge of range. Don't enemies dodge your throw from 5M though, or is it still close enough with 4b radius to prevent that?

I can't wait to figure this stuff out for MEAMP ...

^ AF radius extends the priming radius FYI

I play the Fury the same way TheThirdRace described, except I use a Venom instead because I'm good at the game

Wait... You mean there are other guns you can put on a Fury?



(p.s: before you ask, the High Lord is not a gun. It's the reason for life the universe and everything.)
