It will hopefully aid you in picking the right class for your Shepard and the teammates you'll take along in your Squad. If you have any further questions, corrections or comments, please e-mail me at [email protected] and i'll try to get back to you. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Classes: Human [03CLH] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- These are the classes that Commander Shepard can choose from. Pick wisely, as each brings a very different playing style. Other human Squad members are also members of some of these classes. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Soldier [CHSOL] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The pure combat master. Soldiers can use any of the four weapon types effectivly, and are the toughest class as they are able to wear Heavy Armor and regenarate health. A very good class for first time players. This is the class of Default/Quick Shepard, Ashley, and Jenkins. Shepard can upgrade to a Commando to improve offensive power, or Shock Trooper to boost defense power. Ideal Teammates: Tali, Liara, Kaiden. Even with great combat abilities, there can still be dangers when swarmed by enemies. Having allies with skills like Lift, Sigularity and Medicine will make things less troublesome. Base Skills- Pistol Assault Rifle Combat Armor Assault Training Soldier Unlocked Skills- Shotgun Sniper Rifle First Aid Fitness ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Engineer [CHENG] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Engineers are a pure Tech user. Though lighter on damage, Engineers can quickly cripple enemies and keep allies safe. Addtionally, they can repair the Mako much faster and crack locks and electronics. A good choice for a more supportive style of play. Shepard can upgrade to Operative to strength debuffing, or Medic to help first-aid healing. Ideal Teammates: Liara, Ashley, Wrex. You'll need strong allies to help take down enemies. Because you can unlock and repair on your own, there isn't much need for other Tech users. Base Skills- Pistol First Aid Electronics Decryption Engineer Unlocked Skills- Basic Armor Medicine Damping Hacking ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Adept [CHADE] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Adepts are masters of Biotic powers. Not only can they provide high damage, but they can also keep enemies at bay by throwing them around and suspending them in the air. Though they lack high healing or shields, they can gain protection from Barrier. Shepard can advance to Nemesis to improve offensive Biotics that manipulate the enviroment, or Bastion to improve defensive Biotics to pervent harm. Ideal Teammates: Ashley, Tali, Garrus. You'll need allies to help decrypt, heal, and repair. It also helps that they can actively fight while your skills recharge. Base Skills- Basic Armor Throw Warp Barrier Adept Unlocked Skills- Pistol Lift Singularity Stasis ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Infiltrator [CHINF] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The Infiltrator is a combination of Combat and Engineering. They are well protected with good shields and healing; they can debuff enemies then safely pick them off one-by-one with their Sniper Rifle. They have a bit more trouble in close range fights. Shepard can upgrade to Commando to greatly improve sniping, or Operative to add to disabling Techs. Ideal Teammates: Kaiden, Wrex, Liara. It's a very good idea to bring along Biotic users who can distract and throw around enemies while you take them down. Base Skills- Pistol Tactical Armor Electronics Decryption Infiltrator Unlocked Skills- Sniper Rifle Fitness Damping First Aid ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Sentinel [CHSEN] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Sentinels combine Techs and Biotics, giving them great abilities to support the squad. They however are completely lacking in combat skills, making them the worst choice for weapons and armor. Kaiden is also a member of this class, is better with both types of skills and the Pistol, but cannot gain the Marksman ability. Shepard can advance to Medic to improve healing, or Bastion to improve protective Biotics. Ideal Teammates: Wrex, Garrus, Ashley. Since you'll be lacking in the damage department, it's a good idea to bring along allies that have high Combat training to distract foes while you support the team. Base Skills- Throw Barrier Decryption First Aid Sentinel Unlocked Skills- Lift Stasis Electronics Medicine ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Vanguard [CHVAN] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The Vanguard combines Combat with high damage Biotics. They have many abilities to quickly annihilate foes, but in turn are very vulnerable themselves. Choose this class if you like kamikaze style play. Shepard can upgrade to Shock Trooper to improve Combat defenses, or Nemesis to further strengthen offensive Biotics. Ideal Teammates: Garrus, Kaiden, Tali. You'll need someone with Techs to help with unlocking, repairing and healing. There is nothing worse than being greatly damaged but have medi-gels that recover very little. Base Skills- Pistol Assault Training Throw Warp Vanguard Unlocked Skills- Shotgun Tactical Armor Lift Barrier ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Classes: Alien [04CLA] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Four members of your party have special classes similar to the ones Shepard can be, however several skills are changed to make them play differently. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Turian Agent [CATAG] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Turian Agent is Garrus' class. It is a modified version of Infiltrator, but is geared more for offensive Combat due to Assault Rifle and Assault Training. He's both deadly once trained with Sniper Rifles and can help aid the Squad with Techs. Base Skills- Assault Rifle Tactical Armor Decryption First Aid Turian Agent Unlocked Skills- Sniper Rifle Assault Training Damping Electronics ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Krogan Battlemaster [CAKBA] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The Krogan Battlemaster is Wrex's class. It has somewhat like a Vanguard, but built even more for close range combat, and less potent Biotics. With Combat Armor and Fitness he can become an unstoppable tank. If you found enemy Krogan to be a pain, just wait till you have one fighting on your side. Base Skills- Assault Rifle Combat Armor Warp Barrier Krogan Battlemaster Unlocked Skills- Shotgun Fitness Throw Stasis ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Quarian Machinist [CAQMA] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Quarian Machinist is Tali's class. It is based on the Engineer class, however while she doesn't have the added defensive power of Medicine, she makes up for it with the power of Shotgun blasts. She also has some of the highest Shields of any character, allowing her to survive some of the worst attacks. Base Skills- Pistol Basic Armor Electronics Decryption Qaurian Machinist Unlocked Skills- Shotgun First Aid Damping Hacking ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Asari Scientist [CAASC] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Asari Scientist is Liara's class. The class is an Adept but sacrifices what little Combat skills it had for Techs. This makes her a very deadly squad member with some limited support. Keep her well protected and she'll destroy not only the enemy, but every object in the room. Base Skills- Throw Warp Barrier First aid Asari Scientist Unlocked Skills- Lift Signularity Stasis Electronics ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Skills: Combat [05SCO] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Combat skills improve damage and accuary with weapons, the defense power of armor, and abilities to restore Shields, and lower cooldowns times. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Pistol [SCPIS] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Though Pistols aren't very strong of a weapon, but it's very accurate and overheats far less often. Might as well stick with this weapon if you don't have better training, or are untrained with any weapon. Putting points into this skill improves its power and accuracy. Addtionally, it will unlock the Marksman ability which will make your pistol fire much faster and with greater accuaracy.

A good choice for characters that have the armor and shields to get up close. Points in this skill improve damage and accuarcy and open the Carnage ability, which increases the blast radius, making one able to to take out large gourps. Unlocked Skill for: Soldier, Vanguard, Battlemaster, Machinist Stats Level 01: +5% Damage, +10% Accuracy Level 02: +8% Damage, +14% Accuracy Level 03: +10% Damage, +17% Accuracy Level 04: Carnage (+50% damage, 2m Splash range, 45% Recharge, -40% Accuracy) Level 05: +12% Damage, +20% Accuracy Level 06: +14% Damage, +22% Accuracy Level 07: +16% Damage, +24% Accuracy Level 08: Advanced Carnage (+100% damage, 2m Splash range, 45% Recharge, -40% Accuracy) Level 09: +18% Damage, +26% Accuracy Level 10: +19% Damage, +28% Accuracy Level 11: +20% Damage, +30% Accuracy Level 12: Master Carnage (+150% damage, 3m Splash range, 45% Recharge, -40% Accuracy) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Assault Rifle [SCASS] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Assault Rifles offer a quick barrage of shots.

Base Skill for: Soldier, Agent, Battlemaster Stats Level 01: Overkill (-40% Heat, +20% Accuracy, 10s Duration, 45s Recharge) Level 02: +5% Damage, +10% Accuracy Level 03: +8% Damage, +14% Accuracy Level 04: +10% Damage, +17% Accuracy Level 05: +12% Damage, +20% Accuracy, Unlock Shotgun (Battlemaster) Level 06: +14% Damage, +22% Accuracy, Unlock Sniper Rifle (Agent) Level 07: +16% Damage, +24% Accuracy, Unlock Sniper Rifle (Soldier) Level 08: Advanced Overkill (-50% Heat, +30% Accuracy, 12s Duration, 45s Recharge) Level 09: +18% Damage, +26% Accuracy Level 10: +19% Damage, +28% Accuracy Level 11: +20% Damage, +30% Accuracy Level 12: Master Overkill (-60% Heat, +40% Accuracy, 15s Duration, 45s Recharge) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Sniper Rifle [SCSNI] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Sniper Rifles are great for taking out foes from a distance, however in untrained hands aiming is nearly impossbile. Putting points in this skill not only adds damage and accuarcy, but makes aiming much more stable; it also adds the Assassination ability, which will greatly add to damage, allowing you in many cases to one-shot kill the most hardend of foes. Unlocked Skill for: Soldier, Infiltrator, Agent Stats Level 01: +5% Damage, +10% Accuracy Level 02: +8% Damage, +14% Accuracy Level 03: Assassination (+50% Damage, 20s Duration, 45s Recharge) Level 04: +10% Damage, +17% Accuracy Level 05: +12% Damage, +20% Accuracy Level 06: +14% Damage, +22% Accuracy Level 07: +16% Damage, +24% Accuracy Level 08: Advanced Assassination (+125% Damage, 20s Duration, 45s Recharge) Level 09: +18% Damage, +26% Accuracy Level 10: +19% Damage, +28% Accuracy Level 11: +20% Damage, +30% Accuracy Level 12: Master Assassination (+225% Damage, 20s Duration, 45s Recharge) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Basic Armor [SCBAA] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Basic Armror improves the the effectivness of Light armor, fairly handy for keeping the character alive.
