Ex-Cerberus Adept

Ex-Cerberus Adept:



The original ME3 MP badass, the old pre-nerf smash was a beauty to behold. Alas times changed and an incredible nerf on range now makes this character fairly niche. The following build is mine as I feel everybody differs heavily on building this guy.


Build URL: http://kalence.drupalgardens.com/me3-builder#16!2807585!!..L5!585AG
  • Singularity:
    • Useful for priming crowds but very slow to regen in combo with smash
  • Smash:
    • Awesome damage output though range is heavily nerfed
    • Use this detonate everything and anything you can, it also primes
  • Lash:
    • Excellent follow-up to smash to detonate mooks
    • Some limited utility on normal mooks without shields
  • Passives:
    • Weapon damage, the power damage boosts are insignificant
  • Fitness:
    • Honestly the last few ranks of lash and singularity are pretty unnecessary and with 825 shields he comes close the 990 mark and can make it with some gear
  • Gear:
    • Talon is the only must-have on him
    • Geth scanner works wonders for wall-hacking with smash from cover
    • Shield, weapon, and power damage bonuses are great while regen is slightly wasted on him.
Tactics:

Tactics are straightforward with this class regardless of enemy type.
  1. Open up with singularity.
  2. Fire weapon and close in
  3. Detonate mooks with lash
  4. Duck into cover and smash
  5. Lash any mooks left and rinse/repeat
  6. If bosses are the only survivors alternate between singularity/talon/cover/smash instead

Happy hunting!
