Human Kineticist: Wow she is underwhelming

instructions unclear, am now stuck in trash can with a dead human sentinel.

The character is pretty shit in my opinion. What good is a character that can only deal with red bars..? I've been unlcuky enough to have rng ''bless'' me with this character as my highest UR at rank 6.

Also lol@ that guy who keeps spamming topics about her on the mecoop reddit trying to convince everyone that kineticist with paw is actually a good combo.I should've made a video of me topping the scoreboard yesterday with a venom on a krogan merc trying to tell people it's actually a good setup and they just don't understand the venom (spoiler alert it's not good).

Can you get through gold runs with her and get some gimmicky kills with pull + throw, sure but you can do that with any character. I can top scoreboards on gold with shitty characters like the salarian architect, that still doesn't mean he's a good character it just means the person playing is somewhat competent.

The fact that a character like this is an ultra rare that needs to be unlocked 10 times says a lot about the characters in this game. Imagine if turian ghost, drell adept or n7 destroyer existed in this game, I'm sure they'd be in their own tier of extra ultra rare with a 1% drop rate from premium crates.

Which kit is bad at dealing with red bars, though?

This doesn't seem like a niche.

Also, soldier kits are great at smashing yellow bars, aren't they?

Don't think any kit is "bad" at dealing with red bars, just not as good as her. She can spam pull+throw indefinitely while ascended.

The only thing that's going to get smashed with a soldier kit, is that soldier's ass if they try to turbocharge down a yellow bar while there are hordes of red bars in the vicinity. Controlling red bar density is still very important, and she's one of the best, if not the best at it.

Have at X and she's amazing

This is a guide/video that was posted on reddit (not mine). it's pretty informative, and makes the kineticist look pretty fun/effective on gold.
in essence, you pull red health mooks (instantly disabling), and throw them at other enemies. if either of those two enemies were primed, the collision causes a detonation.

the player in the video uses the PAW to ammo prime targets very quickly, and then pull/throw them into groups of enemies for a directed tech/fire/biotic explosion.

I haven't read through this thread but no doubt a bunch of people have told you that Lance is a great power. Those people are wrong.
