Everybody has their own preferred playstyle, and for many, some situations require a bit of a different approach. For instance, you may primarily be a sniper, or you may need a playstyle that allows you to be more mobile. After a little bit of thinking and seeing the various skills in action, I decided to try out these four favorites for various situations.
Favorites 1: Aimed at mobile combat in which I'm dashing around all over the place. My primary weapon would be the shotgun with a backup pistol and my skills will include tactical cloak for quick getaways, flamethrower for up close attacks, and either flack cannon or grenades to clear out a bunch of enemies.
Favorites 2: Aimed at holding the line or sniping. My primary weapons will either be assault rifle or sniper rifle (depending on the situation) with a backup pistol and my skills include barricade for instead cover, assault turret for distractions, and trip mines to keep enemies at a distance.
Favorites 3: Aimed at synthetic or heavily armored enemies. My primary weapons will be whatever I'm currently using and my skills include overload for shields, incinerate for armor, and energy drain or invasion for synthetic health.
Favorites 4: Aimed at biotics. My primary weapon will be a shotgun with a backup pistol and my skills include pull for chucking enemies around, biotic charge for fast movement, and backlash for added defense.
Later in the game though, I do plan to give different builds a try. I would want to have a more explorer based, jack of all trades favorite and one favorite dedicated to combo priming and detonations.
What favorites are you aiming for in Andromeda?

Favorites 1: Biotics focus Favorites 2: Biotics focus Favorites 3: Biotics focus Favorites 4: Unnecessary Later in the game though, I do plan to focus on Biotics. Well biotics can be used differently. Do you plan to have one favorite focused on Vanguard style biotics (charge and push?) general flinging enemies around with pull? Combo detonations?

Nice thread.
I plan on doing favorites for my first Ryder based around heavy emphasis on tech and maybe v some biotics thrown in to get that access to sentinel.
So 1: overload/ tactical cloak/ energy drain
2:Overload/ tactical cloak/ incinerate.
3. Overload/ tactical cloak/ Lance
4. Overload/ backlash/ something else.
Ryder two not quite sure going to have to see how good the consumable stuff is but he will run as an infiltrator soldier. So tactical cloak will feature heavily.

I won't be spreading myself thin at first. One weapon passive for a bit more punch from gun fire, and biotics galore, with multiple adept profiles.
So maybe 5-6 abilities that I can combine in different ways throughout the 4 profiles and get all the biotic passives.
One thing I noticed in the profile/squad video though..when they showed the adept bonuses (biotic echoes, and biotic jum0p/evade) the jump description was greyed out while echoes (and every other profile passive we've seen) was green. I wonder what it means.

I wonder what it means. Best guess is that certain profile only abilities only unlock if you achieve a certain profile rank. For example at that level of adept, you could have the biotic echoes ability, but if you level up some more and increase your adept profile rank, you get the biotic jump/evade.

Hmm.
Favorite 1: Probably Vanguard like, so a mix of Biotic and Soldier Abilities Favorite 2: Sentinel Like. A mix of Tech and some more Biotic Abilites Favorite 3: Pure Soldier. Favorite 4: Probably an explorer like set.

Right now my Favorites may be set up something like this.
1. Soldier : I'll be focused on all Combat Abilities.
2. Sentinel : Will be a mix of Tech and Biotic Abilities.
3. Vanguard : I'm going for Combat and Biotic Abilities. 4. Explorer : Just a mix of Combat, Tech and Biotic Abilities.
[So far the profile that may get the most use is the Vanguard build, since this is the class I mostly played in the last 3 Mass Effects games.]
- Wolf

I'll focus in all types in my first playthrough for sure., starting with a focus on physical combat via Soldier and then improve on it with Tech/Biotics.
The reason is that I plan on going straight into Insanity and the impact of weapons scales up with difficulty.

I probably won't fool around with favorites too much until I plan on Insanity. For my first playthrough I'm going full biotic. 2nd playthrough my favorites will probably be mostly tech and biotic focused.
