Next, the Vanguard. Front-line biotic warriors fill up this class. Vanguards combine offensive biotic abilities and weapons training to quickly lay the smackdown on their opponents. They’re especially deadly at short range, and can train with pistols and shotguns. Vanguards can also learn to wear medium armor.
Starting Talents:
- Pistols
- Fitness
- Throw
- Warp
Unlockable Talents:
- Shotguns
- Tactical Armor (light to start, upgrading to medium)
- Lift
- Barrier
Finally, we have the Sentinel. This is your typical medic-type character class. Combining biotic and tech abilities, Sentinels usually use the former along with advanced healing skills to provide support and defend their allies. When needed, they can also use tech or biotic attacks to disrupt their enemies. They’re better in both tech and biotics than other classes, but Sentinels don’t receive any advanced weapon training and can only wear light armor.
Starting Talents:
- Throw
- Barrier
- Electronics
- First Aid
Unlockable Talents:
- Lift
- Stasis
- Decryption
- Medicine
