Mass Effect Andromeda: Abilities Showcase

[@MassEffectFollowers]

What is your favorite ability? Also, make sure to subscribe as I got some more awesome exclusive videos coming out soon

[@Rigel_6]

MassEffectFollower I promise you I'll gladly abuse the energy drain/incinerate/tactical cloak/falcon+cryo rounds combo yet again :D

[@Slade1135]

Now that they took queues from ME3 multiplayer and let Singularity prime everything and do damage over time, it definitely wins all in my book.

[@josh032687]

Annihilation field for sure. Nothing like warping into a group and then blowing them all up at once

[@Awarenesspm]

I didnt see some of the super useful favourites like warp and reave. Did they leave out some of the skills? Or maybe they are companion only :c

[@Duelli75]

Apparently the iconic Warp and the gamebreaker Reave are both gone.

[@xaderalert]

Barricade + Assault Turret + Remnant VI = Hold the line!

[@D0VAKIIN]

i like you

[@Rigel_6]

Tanner Anders Gotta hold the door for Shepard, eh? Can't let even one collector through!

[@lederpinator843]

This is going to be one of my ability-sets I'll do, along with Biotic/Sword Infiltrator.

[@justarandomdoge9042]

I like overwelming, I'd do flamethrower + backlash + Remnant VI

[@22SAINT22]

FACTS! This is actually 1 of my main Ability-sets. I'm a touch annoyed someone else also uses it lololol

[@revpembroke3082]

My load out is going to be Magic Missile, Fireball, and Lightning Bolt. Oh, I'm sorry, Lance, Incinerate, and Overload.

[@cadenwilkerson369]

Jared Masten Same, pretty much the best loadout for handling all types of defense in the game and setting up for great combos.

[@MassEffectFollowers]

Slow down there Harry Potter

[@acetraker1988]

Throw is MM FYI

[@Original-GKP]

how to trigger 4 groups of folk with 1 comment... "Use the force, Harry" -Gandalf (as played by Patrick Stewart) 8-P Some people just want to watch the world burn... *le shrug* and have a nice day!

[@TastyGamingQc]

I prefer to grab with pull and throw them everywhere. Something satisfying about smashing an enemy into a wall with the power of the mind.

[@odz4431]

Nothing is more satisfying than put up your biotic shield with reflect upgrade and enjoy the view of gatling gun dude blow himself to heaven

[@keithe2784]

One year later, I finally picked it up (made the mistake of listening to the critics only). In my opinion, way underrated. The glitches suck, but, aside from that, very well done & you can tell a lot time went into the details of the game.

[@AlbertoGarcia-wd7sc]

Sadly, while the critics hated it for lots of stupid reasons (including politics), the truth is EA damaged the game, by forcing the use of that engine and by not giving more time and resources to develop the game. Originally the creators planned to include more new alien species and things like that.

[@rogerroger2377]

​@@AlbertoGarcia-wd7scI agree with you, the game is a bit mediocre, it could be much better but it's not everything the critics say, it's a reasonable game and you can have fun

[@liv4games195]

Tactical cloak was my most used ability in the trilogy and now that there's swords I can fulfill my n7 shadow dreams and become a space ninja 🤗

[@ecchidragon8038]

Oohh... I like the way you think.

[@SystemOfaShadow]

A moment of silence for the loss of the combat drone. Yes the Remnant AI is clearly tacking it's place, but I have to give a little send off to that little orange ball that has gotten me out of many a battle, and helped me win on many occasions the #1 spot on multiplayer missions.

[@dreman999]

SystemOfaShadow * salutes

[@martinstreck5697]

Isn't combat drone a passive perk for the engineer character-profile?

[@Toaztman]

Its not gone, its a passive for engineers like tech armor is for sentinels :)

[@destroy141]

yep you can see it in the peebee loyalty quest vid that ign did

[@therockingvolbeat3630]

SystemOfaShadow combat drones a passive fir the engineer profile no need for a moment of silence

[@spudenfinkl3]

Can't go wrong with some Two Steps From Hell music! ME2 and ME3 both had it for their launch trailers ("Heart of Courage" and "Protectors of Earth" respectively)!

[@RoadRunner217]

Don't forget "black blade", ME3 TV spot music, if I remember correctly.

[@dlink9663]

I really like the color palette they used it looks clean and vibrant but not too intrusive.

[@Ares_gaming_117]

Would be nice to hear the abilities in addition to the music

[@okwaho5316]

A lot of reviews are being so harsh on this game. All I can say is after my ten hour trial 6 in campaign and 4 in multiplayer. I feel extremely hooked, like I will literally play nothing else and not put this game down for a long while. Period.

[@SNOWSOS]

I like that you can now charge in mid air that's metal.

[@bleedrainbows9522]

Love the vault animation at 7:47

[@CrypticalVoid]

The abilities look so beautiful! Can't wait to play this game :D

[@TastyGamingQc]

Adept: Backlash / Annihilation field / Throw Backlash: Focus on it being has strong has it can. Annihilation field: Use the zero g field it’s very fun and useful. Throw: Build it so it boost detonation damage. There, you are now a true biotic god. With the power to tear your enemies asunder and protect your allies no matter what’s the situation.

[@BoydofZINJ]

The one thing not covered in this video is that some skills and abilities act as either Combo primers and Combo Detonators. A Combo Primer is something like singularity or annihilation that gives weak damage but gives the enemy a, because it is biotic, a purple biotic glow. Lance and Overload are Combo Detonators. They do extra damage if the enemy is hit and influenced with a combo primer. As a result, an enemy within a Singularity field and is glowing purple will get extra damage from being hit by a Lance or Overload ability (assuming when these abilities hit they are still being effected by the combo primer).

[@TheLarsRosen]

Gameplay looks like the best yet imo. Hope story, sidemissions and characters are equaly good and this is gonna be a masterpiece.

[@layesse1]

gonna have charge on every loadout lmao

[@MassEffectFollowers]

Charge + Nova = Devastation

[@D0VAKIIN]

fucking vanguard rush piece of shit, people like you have fucked up so many platinum matches for me.

[@layesse1]

fk it.. its fun!! not my fault sorry for your pain

[@MattJames37]

I'm gonna do the same damn thing, screw the haters Mwhahaha!

[@D0VAKIIN]

OK but don't be that guy that shouts on mic "COME ON REVIVE ME WHERES THE TEAM PLAY" while you're clear across the map in between 10 enemies

[@sithous]

Thanks for the showcase, I'm new to the Mass Effect franchise even though I've been playing Dragon Age since Origins and I can't wait for next week to get this game. This video will certainly prove useful when building my playing style. Also thanks for the info about the music it worked great with this video.

[@ReganInfamous]

Great Showcase,thank you :D

[@Bubbahabba]

Do you think later on mass effect would work more on multiplayer than just firefight mode?

[@CTE-ew7et]

Charge + Annihilation + a shotgun = best CQC combo

[@SixPockets392]

+ nova

[@purplegoose971]

All powers: Omni Grenade Concussive Shot Barricade Turbo Charge Trip Mine Flak Cannon Pull Throw Charge Nova Shockwave Annihilation Backlash Singularity Lance Overload Incinerate Assault Turret Cryo Beam Energy Drain Tactical Cloak Flamethrower Remnant VI Invasion

[@saymons.4398]

Mass effect is life

[@michaelgiger2532]

2 steps from hell always gets a like from mexD

[@MassEffectFollowers]

They produce great music and it works so well for this kind of video

[@awashington8447]

I LOVE you for this one good sir!!

[@QseftJohn]

Are barrier and tech armour passives now? I wanted to remake my mass effect 1 vanguard, who was a barrier/shield stacking shotgun spamming tank. I really wanted to stack tech armour and biotic barrier. :(

[@avb19d6]

Cryo Beam and Flak Cannon Pull and Flak Cannon or CC Backlash and Nova Ahhhhhhhhh so many combos!!!! I can't wait!!!

[@Maulfire]

Planning a PBAoE build with Singularity, Charge, Annihilation/Shockwave/Nova (will play around with the 3rd ability in game). Then combo with shotguns and/or Melee weapons. I will be a SciFi battlemage :)

[@HowDawgg]

a few single player questions Is there a grenade launcher attachment for assault rifles? Can you change mode of fire on a gun? For example if it is 3 round burst can you change it to full auto? Can you have 2 different assault rifles instead of a hand gun and an assault rifle? How many attachments can you have per gun? Can you add different effects to different parts of armor like add more carry weight for helmet etc, Is there a self healing armor not shields health bar, The lack of medi gel worries me so i am looking for ways to counter that

[@iilhares]

Grenade attachment: Not that I've seen. Change Fire modes: Also, not that I have seen. Two assault rifles? Yes. You can put anything (Except melee) into the additional weapon slots. Armor: Depending on how you do it, you can customize your armor design/build for various abilities. I have not seen any mods or augments for weight limitations, but I think there was a set of armor that had options for more ammo and the like. Self-healing armor: No, because you don't have an 'armor' bar. You have shields, and you have your physical health so far, that's all I've seen. Nothing to indicate you can get armored up like the NPCs.

[@tynorstrom2761]

love the music here. Whats it from?

[@DragonSoul621]

its from an orchestra called "Two steps from hell" they have some really kick ass songs, i personally reccomend flight of the silverbird

[@dreman999]

ty norstrom two steps from hell.

[@Answerisequal42]

the later one is "united we stand divided we fall" my personel favorite^^

[@spyro454]

Yeah, It's called "Victory", by "Two steps from hell"

[@MassEffectFollowers]

First one is Victory and the other is United We Stand - Divided We Fall. Both are from Two Steps From Hell. They create amazing music for this type of videos

[@SkreenGG]

Very helpful video!! Thanks man I'm liking Backlash, Singularity, and Incinerate

[@WillLegxndary]

Epic Combo Charge block with Backlash into nova also with Sentinel playstyle for more armor or Adept for a strong combo

[@davidmako1]

Seems like cool downs really take a while. Was hoping for ME3 level 'casting' times with only a pistol. Double-pull - double-throw. Repeat. Biotic explosion galore. Worked with a tech ability 'caster' (engineer) as well. Those had a cool down of under 2 seconds and even though they were on a global CD it worked out to cast way more abilities... *worried*

[@MassEffectFollowers]

You can upgrade to lower cool downs. Most of the abilities shown here were with 1 or 2 skill points used in them.

[@davidmako1]

Hey. Thanks for answering. But it seemed like a lot of 24 sec CDs and only 30% reductions. I do not believe that they are going to be as fast as in ME3. I could be wrong though...

[@MassEffectFollowers]

I do want to note that each have individual cool downs. That was amazing

[@davidmako1]

Still, I played ME3 without firing my weapons. And could do a biotic explosion every 2.8 seconds (that's 2 global skill CDs). And I did play it like that without the skill wheel pausing the game. It seems like this one is a lot more focused on shooting weapons and helping your character out with abilities in between...

[@brettjacobson4600]

I bet you can play like that here if you want to. I bet most people at least carry a weapon even if they don't use it a lot, and it makes sense to have it for the demos.

[@Halliwud91]

Just what i was looking for ty=)

[@jackdaniels8030]

I really don‘t get those negative reviews and „bust“ commets. Gameplay is awesome, graphics are awesome, story is nice and thrilling (so far) animations aren‘t THAT bad, music is alright etc. On my optinion it feels way more like ME1 and I really like this.

[@facehugger8995]

do enemies suffer fall damage? if so throw would be awesome also wasn't charge suppose to prime biotic combos instead of detonate them?

[@Legion12Centurion]

I think Im gonna blend some grenades or flak havent decided yet with invisibility cloak and some preferable tech abilities. Im likely going to use the infiltrator class and blend Sniperrifles and some cloak and dagger shotgun close range stuff with the mobility of the jetpack. Dash out high damage long range and short but be a bit vulnarable mid range.

[@robertschaffer596]

good music selection in the video :)

[@MelficeCyrum]

Cryo Beam has an astonishing amount of range. Also I think I'll still be playing a tech-based character, I feel like the options are more diverse for that sort of play.

[@xale1231]

OMG Cloak + Nova is such a dick move! XD

[@coffeebreakhero3743]

aka surprise buttsex

[@lFaceless]

awesome video. thanks.

[@isaiahhope5560]

I hope i can have charge, infiltrate in the same favorites

[@hoodeddefender]

I mean, he showed just that, so yes?

[@acetraker1988]

You get to pick 3 skills and 1 (mini-class) per favourite. E.g. you can be every class kinda. Example you can use the Adept Profile for Biotic Powers and Sentinel for Tech Powers. As long as you meet the requirements for said profile to unlock.

[@ush4441]

Playing high level right now Gun : Blackwidow + Valkyrie + Eagle (Sniper + High damage rifle + super rapid pistol) 3 Main Profiles: 1. Adept : Pull + Throw + Backlash (For non armored enemies) 2. Sentinel : Overload + Shockwave + Energy Drain (For Shield Enemies) 3. Infiltrator : Omni Grenade + Turbocharge + Tactical Cloack (For Armored Enemies and those F*CKIN ORB DUDE THINGY)

[@Blastmaster321]

Notification Squad! Awesome video!

[@its_the_spartan6313]

The graphics are sick in 4K. Less than 24 hours till I can get down on this game. #MassEffect4Life

[@NarvinCheeWood]

This was so epic and has gotten me so hyped!!

[@ReadyAimFire_]

Great vid, and music is top notch. I think ill use biotics the most, with a little cloak.

[@AdamStejskal-yf3st]

Can't go wrong with some good tech stuff. Personally I'm debating on doing a walkthrough as an engineer in the 3rd mass effect game.

[@Glenndroid.]

Which training would be the best to start with for DPS wise? Cant' choose between these 3: Biotic Technician Operative

[@colebiggs7296]

From looking at this video i like Cryo Beam, Backlash and Barricade.

[@predetor911]

Backlash is my absolute fav, reminds me of the energy shields in dbz. I put it on all my builds. Charge & Nova are too OP even on higher difficulty.

[@AdamStejskal-yf3st]

As much as I think biotics are cool and can handle crowd control I've always got to go with my tech powers. Because I'm going up against baddies with shields and armor i can't see myself winning this game without it. Here's what I have so far: Engineer profile - Remnant VI, Energy Drain, and Overload or Incinerate. Infiltrator profile - Barricade, Tactical Cloak, and Energy drain with a profession in smiper rifles, i usually use the vanquisher. And for my sentinel he's a little like the Vanguard but with tech armor. Anyway his load out is Annihilation, Energy drain, and Charge with a profession in shot guns, I'm still trying to get the N7 paranah. But that's what I have so far.

[@Answerisequal42]

but but but.... where are ballistic blades :(

[@shayminthedoctor9663]

Flak Cannon? Flak Cannon!? *FLAK CANNON?!*

[@rhysjones7670]

Great video hope the music is from ME A as well

[@FishyDave7]

Tactical cloak, with beefed up meele and shottys, plus fire combos 👍

[@aegis2108]

Pull/throw with energy drain. Rinse, repeat, and beat Insanity

[@slidermixer3296]

Charge/Nova/Backlash 💯 Get in, wreck, protect yourself 👌

[@borek92]

I'm so fucking hyped it's unhealthy, already took two weeks from work.

[@yoshighomi]

Damn... epic music! I was using Biotics... now aside from charge, I am leaning more towards tech abilities like Overload and Incinerate.

[@BigWillTheThrill]

Gotta have my Charge/Nova Combo, but I will definitely have an N7 Paladin load out on standby.

[@traior246]

Hope we get that new Pull in the new ME Also having Backlash would be nice

[@blakechandler167]

looks like tucker got his drag grenade

[@EmberFir3]

Gonna have Energy Drain, Lance, and Singularity for my main set

[@TheChileanMapuche]

are combo explosions in ME:A? Because I haven't seen them yet in any of the gameplay yet

[@justinmullins1112]

TheChileanMapuche theres a "fire combo" during the flamethrower showcase. been mentioned once or twice elsewhere as well, i think. they don't look to be as flashy as before, perhaps a radius nerf?

[@TheMaitoPulla]

TheChileanMapuche There are combos, they just arent as visually obvious anymore

[@MassEffectFollowers]

Yes, there A LOT of combos you can do in the game. The name depends on what you use as the primer, but you can detonate with things that aren't related to it. For example, you can use a biotic power to detonate a tech primed target.

[@tribunalcustodian3989]

I hope we still have the classic singularity+nova combo!

[@lovelettera]

Great video! Question: what difficulty was this being played on?

[@klepikovmd]

Unknown. Almost all of it from developer's videos.

[@MassEffectFollowers]

This was played on Normal

[@MassEffectFollowers]

Actually, I captured all of the footage myself :)

[@lovelettera]

Thanks man. Follow up question: can you briefly tell us what are the controls for the jump, evade, and hover?

[@reptar1098]

What platform are you playing on?

[@VioletGiraffe]

Very nice, thank you! What great combinations of three abilities have you guys found?

[@garrettgomes4701]

Do these abilities still have bonuses vs. armor, shields, etc? If yes, that would be a nice addition to the video, add those in for each ability.

[@marksman1416]

Epic video

[@IIIIRASHIDIIII]

the music men ti's so good

[@FractiousOrderXypher]

Lance seemed cool... And I've always liked overload. I'd try annihilation field too.

[@FractiousOrderXypher]

nevermind. Lance, invasion, and flak cannon it is.

[@StringedYak]

can you show off the skills you get from upgrading the ranks of classes like soldier and infiltrator?

[@HagathaHexMe]

Looks like a lot of effects still haven't been implemented. Either that or their not going for the super flashy biotic abilities anymore.

[@KOT_c_XBOCTOM]

What is the difference between damage and force?

[@Wofulrumble4893]

Can you charge enemies you throw? Cause biotic skeet shooting would be fun :D

[@MassEffectFollowers]

Didn't think about that. If you can, that is an awesome idea.

[@molengbelzewolf3475]

We need a channeling version of energy drain that does physical damage

[@adrianleong8537]

Think I will try out Cryo Blast, seems OP this time round, didnt use this much during ME1-3. Think my favs are still tactical cloak, pull. charge and nova. Wonder if infiltrators still get that slight time freeze when aiming with a sniper rifle...

[@kennygarcia5673]

Great video now I have a jist of what I'll be using when I get this amazing beauty 😀 The cloak the remnant, lance, incinerate, this is like destruction, summoning, alteration spells from skyrim but fuckin mass effect I love this game so much can't wait to get it!

[@hermanito69]

Man, every time I watch this I feel mad dreaming with a legendary Two Steps From Hell launch trailer. Victory or Archangel would be fucking epic!! Missed opportunity to please every single Mass Effect fan in the world. So sad

[@Aerospace4All]

biotic gunslinger/sniper for me.

[@asiannn777]

can invasion be used for combos/detonations?

[@SundaySun21]

Is there any advantages the human soldier has over everything else? his powers seem underwhelming .

[@MichalNemecekMn]

I love this game

[@petrusion2827]

Turbocharge, Concussive Shot, Incinerate, Omni grenade, Energy Drain, Soldier profile (tho Im sad soldier profile doesn't give combat rolls, I loved em)

[@coffeebreakhero3743]

Finished insanity with charge, nova backlash and Dhan Shotgun. Unlimited power! The game felt way too easy with those

[@windwind3170]

Do kinetic barriers still block biotics somehow? -_-

[@MakoRuu]

I don't think I can wait another six days.

[@KeroŞero]

well you are not going to, the trial is out tmorrow that is if you live in US if in Europe sadly for some stupid reason you have to wait 2 more days for a DIGITAL download.

[@MakoRuu]

Nah son. You gotta pay $4.99 for EA Access to play the ten hour trial.

[@wincollum]

but you get a 6 dollar discount on the game with ea access. just remember to unsubscribe.

[@peterfox6159]

Excellent! Thank you :)

[@Blearcord]

Charge+annihilation+nova

[@Zejna90]

Can you bind more than 3 abilities on PC?

[@iilhares]

You can only have 3 powers active at any given time, but you can define up to 4 quick-swap Favorites, which includes 3 powers and your choice of combat profile.

[@awashington8447]

Is tech armor a passive ability now?

[@therockingvolbeat3630]

a Washington yes for the sentinel profile

[@awashington8447]

Ryan prescott thanks!!

[@therockingvolbeat3630]

a Washington no problem I think each profile has a passive ability like how the engineer gas the combat drone

[@huntersrow7925]

it wouldve been a bit better if you said what training some of the abilities were for

[@Hypercat0]

Still a Tactical Cloak+ Widowmaker combo for me

[@Szinczuch]

How to get power armor skill?

[@jeremybosworth2275]

Kind of wish Pull and Throw operated under the same skill, then I could make my Saint's Row 4 build.

[@KhanhDinh291]

throw can now hold objects before release so pull is sorta redundant now

[@kierathompson1850]

I like the music it is niece the first time you do it and the other side of music love kiera

[@acev127]

Like the look of the new overload But some of the biotics, like charge, nova and throw, seriously lack the impact of ME3
