I think anything that's both a primer and detonator, so overload natively, and energy drain, throw, and incinerate when evolved correctly, can detonate plus prime when it's a two different types of combos. So you can't overload->energy drain-> throw for 2 tech explosions, but you can overload->throw->energy drain for a tech explosion plus a biotic explosion.Digirat posted:What's a good setup for the asari huntress? In the previous game you'd just cloak and dark channel and then go pick your nose while the platinum praetorian dies within 20 seconds, but she does not have dark channel anymore Pack a sniper rifle, abuse stealth grid constantly. If for some reason you aren't doing that, use throw to apply physics to enemies that you want to disable, lance to detonate your teammate's combos.

Energy Drain and Throw both have an evolution that primes the target. Throw's might only work on unshield/armored targets though? But you can go Energy Drain -> Throw on anything, and might be able to put an ammo booster on so you can prime for the Energy Drain, too. I like Human Sentinel for this.

Throw only primes on unarmored unshielded targets, but Energy Drain works on everything. Asari Sentinel is also fantastic for this and her offensive biotic passive makes her slightly better than the Human Sentinel for combos. HumSent is better at using weapons, though.

You guys weren't kidding about human vanguards, maxed out mine and jumped into a solo bronze at level 1 and it was super easy, didn't even come close to dying.

Digirat posted:but I am saying not to write off the incisor just because it's hard to use. That right there is the issue. In all honesty, none of the weapons should be HARD to use. I would rather snipe with the Charger than snipe with the Incisor. In fact, the Incisor should be an AR, not a sniper, at least with the amount of kickback it has. God know ARs need something to make them viable beyond a "*Giggle* hey guys I have an AR, let's see what happens, sorry in advance". If you don't have any option, take the Viper. Yeah it's a bit anemic but it will hit what it shoots at, and you can usually kill something within a clip. Then take the LANAT. Then the Vanquisher. Those three encourage the productive sniper play of placing your shots well. The Incisor is just a gimmick in search of a role, and sniper ain't it. I don't hate you Digirat. I just hate the Incisor with a passion, ever since ME3.

Is the incisor the one you can hold down M1 on and it just bursts out the entire clip in 3 seconds? I've been using that in SP and once you learn to control the recoil it melts through shields and then right through health. gently caress you observers how do you like it cunts.

One of the loading screen tips said that we could unlock 'unique appearance options' through the loot boxes. Is this referring to the color wheel and picking out your floral patterns, or is there an actual unique appearance option for each class?

Hey all, I play on PC: add me at Lanky_Nibz. I hopped on the Discord so I'll see y'all there. I'm enjoying this so far! The app reminds me a bit of AC: Black Flag, which is a good thing. Also I'm REALLY enjoying Turian Soldier cause mag dumps make everything better. Oh how many APEX teams do you guys run? I have three, but I feel like any more may be excessive.

A 20 with 5 positive and 2 negative traits, a 20 with 5 positive traits, and a 16 with 3 positive traits. If I ever max my gear I'll think about training a fourth and hoping for unique mission specialist traits. Not likely, though, I run out of available missions once or twice a day right now.

I bought the strike team +10 general effectiveness booster, Exceptional Human Intelligence, can confirm when you replace a scrub mod (Night Vision Goggles I) it disappears and you can't freely reequip it or transfer. Choose your equipment wisely, only get the best.

Agree, 3 teams seems like all you need unless you want to specialize or just get a really poo poo team with tons of bad traits. I'm regularly running out of missions now that my teams are 20/19/18.

Bootcha posted:That right there is the issue. In all honesty, none of the weapons should be HARD to use. I would rather snipe with the Charger than snipe with the Incisor. In a game with 47 guns there should be some solid variety in what to use, and a few weapons that are hard to use but heavily reward skill is exactly the kind of thing I'd want to see in the arsenal. The real problems are the guns that are just objectively better than other guns, and the lovely microtransaction-driven design that heavily correlates weapon rarity with weapon quality. That was dumb in ME3 and it's dumb here, since for all I can argue that the incisor isn't bad, I still can't say you should continue to use it once you get the Better Gun.

We've got more than enough Mission Funds to get them incase they turn out to be useful after a gun buff or they just take a while to come back.

You only get 1 item for 5 mission funds so I don't think it will be incredibly useful, but it will help once all the gear is bought. What I'm wondering is if it's like ME3 where you can hit the cap on one kind of item and then have those items turn into other other ones in card packs (in other words have ammo packs turn into anything else, since all the other items have about three times the utility)
