Playing a Vanguard brought a steep learning curve, but if you got the hang of it, it was insanely fun. In ME1, with Singularity as a bonus power, it is a better Adept thanks to Adrenaline Burst. In ME3, Tactical Cloak is just stupidly overpowered and pretty much trivializes the game.Īnd if it is not the Infiltrator, then it is the Vanguard:
In ME2 Tactical Cloak was introduced, a great ability. In ME1 it had one of the best parts of the Soldier (Immunity) and could unlock everything on its own, so no need to drag around Tali and Garrus. I would say that the Infiltrator has remained consistently strong throughout the series: Infiltrator is easier to play and I think that makes him overall stronger. Vanguard is arguably just as powerful when played well, but in ME 2 & 3 he has a higher learning curve to get the most out of.
With it he does more weapon damage than a Soldier and more power damage than an Engineer, while being less sensitive to weight than either class. And AI Hacking which is situationally amazing. Good ammo powers, and Incinerate which is excellent. Tactical Cloak, an offensive and defensive power that gives great spike damage and lets you really take advantage of the map layouts. ME2 - Infiltrator is not quite at the top of the food chain here, but all the classes are so well-balanced in this game that it doesn't matter much. In fact, take AI Hacking as a bonus and he pretty much makes the Engineer class obsolete. Has all of the best tech skills of the Engineer. He's better with Pistol and Sniper than Soldier, and just as good with Assault Rifle and Shotgun if given as a bonus. ME1 - Has Immunity, the best defense power in the game, so tanks as well as Soldier does. It's close between Infiltrator and Vanguard, but I think Infiltrator is the strongest. From my exp, Vanguard is so powerful that they are capable of killing Brutes and Banshees within seconds if you know how to connect charge, nova, biotic / tech burst. And their incendiary ammo have nice DOT + burn effect can combo with a lot of skill -> explosion. It's very risky as you will have to expose yourself to enemies fight, but their biotic charge can instantly recover shield (to full strength if you choose that skill path), so fast cooldown + Nova combo = ownage. Vanguard's close quarter fight is insanely fun. Most of the time you can eliminate all threats before they can even come close. It's all about tactic: knowing which enemy to take out first, carefully aim, good timing.
Infiltrator is pretty deadly with tactical cloak and sniper head shot. Only from ME 2, with the dramatic change of gameplay that classes started showing their own pros and cons. Can't say much about ME 1 since imo, classes weren't that different back then. Though personally, I like Infiltrator and Vanguard best. Each class has their own strength and all of them are fun to play.
