TOP 3 Best Builds for Mass Effect Andromeda INSANITY GAMEPLAY

[@StarFlorge]

I will later be making a series where you can enter your videos into the top builds of the week style event. So get your builds ready and keep an eye out for the video giving you the info you need to know to get in touch and get a shot at the top 5.

[@petermachare5659]

Just picked up MEA after a long trip to SE Asia and was pleased to see you doing MEA after following you in DAI for so long. I have a suggestion for the future: would love a video on low level insanity builds.

[@danielcruz7623]

How can you make video content about builds by taking other creators exact content and just talking over it?

[@michaelcollier3792]

For anyone wondering, a melee Vanguard build is absolutely viable for insanity once you get to a decent level. I had no problem switching to insanity around level 30. Almost required to switch for a good challenge actually.

[@StarFlorge]

That does sound amazing! it looked so fun to play i just couldn't take the no.1 spot away though cause the firepower is crazy.

[@vladstark2091]

What about to play on insanity since level 1.. switching difficulty is same as using cheat engine🐢

[@gibster9624]

I went full on DPS with my insanity build. Using cloaking, turbocharged and the nanites abilities. You had escapability if you needed it you also have some crowd control with the nanites and make it easy to expose enemies hiding behind cover as well as absolutely insane boss DPS if you fight the Architects after 100% a planet. I know this is 3ish years later but incase anyone was looking for an excuse to do another ME;A run and haven't tried this build it works fantastically especially once you get your armor and piranha shotgun set up as well. Just absolutely disgusting damage and a really fun combat loop.

Hi, My recent character is designed after a "Bounty Hunter" playstyle. its based on the Sweeper AR, Auto Fire, Health Clip Refill, Mod Slots and +3% WDMG. Mods I run are AR Barrel, AR Heavy Mag, AR Heavy Stock, AR Scope. Skills Concussive Shot, Flak Cannon, Flamerthrower. I wanted my own build rather than all the deserved hype around that shotgun. Solider profile heavy on combat and tech tree for great pickup skills. Kett armour for body and head is the Heleus Defender. My Melee weapon is a placeholder Asari Sword (5 Slots) at R2, All have WDMG. Using the Fusion Mod of Shielding. Chest has On Kill; Shield recharge and 4 DR fixes. Rest of body ports have more shield fixes. The point is Health Regen is % based and the gun drains HP to recharge so less is better. Does well in most encounters. The combo on the weapon really shines. My skill setup would change for the big robot boss fights. Turbocharge makes the above gun silly.

[@ZombieATAT]

Fudgemuppet always played everything on easy when I watched their content, not even normal difficulty.

[@korpiz]

Not easy to make these builds if there is no information about the actual builds..

[@Rizzit]

I would never have imagined this. I wanted to take a break from building builds but your video and the shit ton of requests i get: IM RIGHT BACK IN THE GAME :D Are you going to make a series for this? Maybe post on Reddit/BSN etc

[@StarFlorge]

You don't have to make more, i just put it in xD i will make a series out of this and i don't really do the reddit scene and don't know much about it. I have no idea how to use or get posts big on reddit lol

[@mcmarkmarkson7115]

Thanks for the laugh I think we all needed it.

Insanity walkthrough. Tried engineer build, tech combo build (infiltrator, overload, energy drain, incinerate/cryo blast), cloak infiltrater build (cloak, invasion/overload, energy drain, black widow w/ bio-converter). Tech combo w/ life suppor passive is pretty good, giving you constant hp and shield recovery, but it's too slow to get take out enemies and not safe enough when too many enemies flank you. Cloak sniper is much better, especially when the hp cost of bio-converter is mitigated by life support. Cloak sniper also takes out bosses like architect insanely fast, too. But it gets boring later on when you spend too much time sniping and is not fast enough to take out minions. Now my favorite build for insanity is melee vanguard (bastion charge, nova w/ priming, overload, dahn shotgun w/ vintage heat sink, asari sword, shotgun skill w/ melee synergy, life support in tech tree). Asari sword is op by itself, and makes it god build when combined w/ heat sink dahn. everytime you shoot your dahn and then melee w/ asari sword, your dahn is recharged right after the melee animation (during which you are invulnerale). So basically Charge - shoot once - melee - (charge) - shoot - melee, and if enemy dies and you can't find your new charge target, use nova - you are invulnerable during the animation, enough time for you to find a new victim. Overload is useful for activate life support health regen (which you really don't need that much) and it stuns enemies from cover, making them easier for you to aim your charge and detonate a tech combo. This is a god build IMO but is not viable until your level is higher to get shorter biotic and tech cooldown. The melee and dahn damage w/ shotgun melee synergy + charge buff is insane, and since you are basically invulnerable during charge - shoot - melee cycle, tanking a mech is so easy (need to be careful w/ remnant destroyer, though because of its AOE damage). It kills much faster and even safer than cloak sniper except when fighting architects.

[@danieljahn2027]

Hans Lin what do you mean by heat sink dhan?

[@hanslin8398]

danieljahn2027 dahn with vintage heat sink augmentation, give u two shots before overheat and u dont have to worry about manually reloading ur dahn

[@HyperionTG1]

My personal favorite is infiltrator and combat build at maximum. "Lethal Infiltrator"

[@HyouVizer]

wow #1 is true Explorer like build, its skills use combat gun buff, tech cloak and biotic charge

[@Ashbringeren]

that some awesome builds. love FudgeMuppet build videos. but Rizzit takw the place a being to OP, i mean that was crazy dmg. good video StarFlorge xD

[@MrGameingworks]

damn look at that shotgun at 2:51

[@igorstreams6782]

Pro tip: DO NOT play insanity beyond level 80 😄 because enemies scale to your level beyond that level

[@reyrey5217]

Ehh, I like my construct build. Just activate them both and hide behind something shooting. They do most of the damage and soak it up too. Also using Cora and Drack. I'm free to do the mission objective lol.

[@leebeastkiller]

personally i'm having some fun using a balanced build (it's good and fun for upto the harder difficulties giving back up firepower where you need it) and still keeps the game on a good playing curve: main abilities: concussion shot R4 recharge speed, R5 damage, R6 anti-armor either Revanant VI R4 expidited repairs, R5 close combat module, R6 electric beam or Turret R4 durability, R5 damage, R6 flamethrower Singularity R4 duration, R5 anti-shield, R6 exploding with wepon perks being: pistol R4 weight, R5 clipsize, R6 augmented assault rifles R4 weight, R5 clipsize, R6 shatter defences shotgun R4 weight, R5 clipsize, R6 damage snipers R4 weight, R5 reload, R6 damage extra stats combat tree comabt fitness R4 regeneration, R5 extra holster, R6 hold the line combat tools R4 evasion, R5 detonators, R6 martial arts biotics tree barrier R4 unyielding barrier, R5 biotic link, R6 active barrier offensive biotics R4 amplitude, R5 exploitation, R6 biotic warrior containment R4 radius, R5 shield detonation, R6 manifold duration tech tree team supports R4 squad offence, R5 team recovery, R6 life support (this could be switched for defence grid). offensive tech R4 anti-shield, R5 anti-synthetic, R6 elemental tech auxiliary systems R4 weapon mass reduction, R5 impact dilation, R6 shield feedback for weapons i'm using: the P.A.W X for close to midrange range fighting. the Carniflex X as back up (likely to be switched with the scorpion pistol being researched) the Ushior IX pistol for high damage (this wil either be switched for the scattershot later as it's glitched so i can't research lvl X) and vanqusher X for mid to long range (will be researching the black widow for penatration and damage) the Asari Sword X as a melee weapon

[@WanderingRagabond]

Those ARE some really cool and OP meta builds. But I'm missing a more... caster-like build. Might I suggest this one, from KhrazeGaming? kzbin.info/www/bejne/mp6YoWlrq7SaY8k The mods he uses on his weapons may be a little redundant since the chaining of biotic and tech abilities is already so insane and universally useful, but overall this is pretty insane and OP as well.

[@StarFlorge]

I'll do a series of this in the future and ask for inputs etc etc, but this is a start for sure. It looks like an amazing build but sadly not testes on insanity, i can tell from the clips but even so it's a contestant for the future :)

[@bryanllerena787]

What happened to your abilities? If you start a new game on a higher level...? I just started a new game but I haven't seen my old abilities or guns so far?

[@Bigalinbklyn83]

The rizzit build is so op it made the game boring lol

[@jasondeutschbein8102]

What song is clipped into the Build Title segments?

[@dillonpatchell5451]

Wouldn't the #2 Vanguard be 100% better with hyerguardian chest with battering mod?

[@cookingwithelia1]

This work with latest patch?

[@billyrayvaletine2378]

My insanity build rips through every enemy in the game, and I only use the a shadow sniper with turbo charge. Though, I think my gun augmentation is something no one else has done. Which blows my mind.

[@xe2014]

Maybe enlighten us with what that augment is?

[@azimpetra]

Still waiting for someone to come up with insanity build involving beam emitter. Beam emitter which sucks no matter the gun you use. I really hope its a bug.

[@ZUV617]

If it's shit, why even use it on higher difficulty?

[@StopReadingMyNameOrElse]

JCUV It should be a lot better.

[@nukenade4623]

completly handicap yourself?

[@MystiCalBEING89]

do u not think the build u had playing at the start of the video the shotgun every time u shoot u get shield back is not the best build? i would of thought that be number 1

[@StarFlorge]

MystiCalBEING89 It is my own build that I haven't released yet, it will we coming out in about a week. I do think it's a very strong build and can't wait to make a proper video one it.

[@MystiCalBEING89]

ok well im guessing ur using the shotgun 25% shield back with each shot and i use lance and Annihilation with charge its so op got to be number 1

[@StarFlorge]

Well turns out for late game i found a better build kinda like Rizzit but my own spin to it and currently loving it. Not sure which build i'll cover xD

[@lordrefrigeratorintercoole288]

This builds are basic... How i speck for OP, all passives must be rank6 1st "Assault Explorer" Explorer Biotic Charge Tactical cloak Turbo Charge 2nd "Advancing Sentinel" (All 3 powers are Detonators and primers) Sentinel Energy drain Shockwave Incinerate 3rd "Camper" Infiltrator Remnant Vi With detonator Tactical cloack Invasion Use any ammo mod These are completely OP on Insanity difficulty, try em out.

[@Дракончик-и8э]

explorer 40+ lvl energy drain + invasion + cryo beam (preset 1) / energy drain + invasion + backlash (preset 2) shield recover and boost to damage resistance while low hp, regeneration on skills, shotgun mastery, cryo trap with armor debuff dhan + bio-converter + seeking plasma, heleus icon helmet, skirmisher body, remnant hands and legs, also remnant cryo fist kinetic coils in body, all other is techno recharge augments, shielding fusion mod no depends on any consumables, ammo, first aid kits no reload seeking shots 1500+ dmg high distance +40% dmg to all, +155% to armored permanent crowd control on any surface you can see extremal survivability gameplay footage on my channel

[@EloNis93]

Well I must say, you werent even close with the most OP builds. The most OP build is accualy a biotic with annihilation that increases damage taken by enemies, increased radius and giving energy shield for kill, charge that recovers energy shield, and lance that depletes your energy shield. You dont even need a weapon in this build, all you need is proper fusion mod (cd reduction one) and a proper balance between biotic damage and recharge speed with mods in N7 armor and weapons. I have around 1,5 sec cd on charge with annihilation on. Fight looks basically like taking candies from little children, using charge to close the distance, spam lance till enemy is dead triggering multiple biotic detonations that ravages enemies around, if shield is depleted simply use charge and again spam lance. Srsly, none of the builds shown in the video are even close to being op compared to the one im talking about.

[@StarFlorge]

EloNis93 I use that build xD I was going to make a video on it in the week to come. These were the top vudeos i could find on KZbin at the time. I'll be making a series soon were viewers can send in their video and get a chance to be in the top 5 or 10. so watch out for that if you want to show off your own builds :D But yeah the build you state, I've used and it is amazing.

[@Raph920]

Biotic or Vanguard profile ?

[@EloNis93]

You dont need melee attack bonus, weapon damage bonus nor recharge speed so Vanguard is out of the picture. Besides, Adept profile perfectly synergizes with this build as it heavily boost biotic damage and biotic detonation damage. If you are thinking of checking it out, pick Adept profile, and dont forget to max out Biotic Offense with rank 5 and rank 6 top choices. rank 5 increases damage when opponents are in vinicity of Annihilation and rank 6 increases damage you deal with Lance after you charge by 30% so it synergizes perfectly with this. As for barrier rank 6 bottom choice is the best, as for the rest pick what you like but if you lack shields after charge, then take the rank 5 upgrade that gives you shield after melee, so you can replenish your shield with melee when needed. If you do that, i recommend using Asari Sword as melee weapon as it has blink while attacking. Cheers m8.

[@Raph920]

EloNis93 Thanks. I'd like to ask, since it's not a melee build, what's the purpose of the annihilation field. You can prime your targets with consumables or singularity and you won't need to get that close in range. I feel like the Charge/Lance/Annihi is really aimed at melee build, as the field around you boosts your melee damage like no other abilities.

[@EloNis93]

The whole point is that singularity has riddicolusly long recharge time and it starts to recharge after it is cancelled or explodes, which makes it basically usable only in certain situations. Annihilation not only, with biotic offensive and proper upgrade, increases dmg dealt to enemy by 40%, it's also turned on all the time and primes to detonation even hardest targets. And since you are going to replenish your shield with charge anyways, you get close either way, so there is no downsides. Basically, gameplay with this sort of build goes like this: Charge -> Lance -> Lance -> if still living another Lance, if not next step -> Charge to next enemy. This way our character is practically immortal, charging straight in into the cluster of enemies and turning out victorious without a scratch is something you are going to witness extremely often. Srsly, surviving Destroyer face on is totally possible this way, unless you fuck up or have too low recharge speed on charge :D

[@MrGameingworks]

tactical cloak is busted just say

[@Kehmis101]

how to get clips to you

[@StarFlorge]

Can send them too me over at [e-mail] In a week or so i will make a series for this kind of thing so look out then. In that video i will give this email to have stuff sent too :)

[@StarFlorge]

Also just remember that email may change in the future, but use it for now.

[@Kehmis101]

ok

[@dandromeda1]

Top 3 best builds huh? I didn't see any builds in this video at all, just some clickbate BS. Worthless.

[@charlesvane8161]

No sense video

[@ciphergamingsouthafrica8502]

You're desperate

[@MrODST57]

Why have so many recent bioware games been disappointments.

[@StarFlorge]

This game is fun for me .

[@hairypancake]

The majority of what made Bioware "Bioware" left quite a while ago. A lot of senior staff quit before and after ME3.

[@hairypancake]

+Micheruth Timeus Dragon Age 2 was literally unfinished and rushed out the door, "wasn't good" is putting it lightly. Inquisition wasn't great either but I have to agree with you that Bioware games aren't terrible. They've just been kind of mediocre compared to some of the stuff they used to do...you can see a lot of passion and care that went into earlier titles that just isn't there in their recent releases.

[@MrODST57]

StarFlorge not saying they were all bad but they didn't feel like they lived up to most of their potential you know?

[@someoneelse5789]

Cause they got invaded and indoctrinated.
