The Best Skills in Mass Effect: Andromeda

Biotics focus on your ability to control special energies and augments within your body. These powers are often more about controlling the field than dealing massive damage. However, they make perfect setups for solid combos and can really turn the tides of battles. Peebee and Cora make use of this category, so you can supplement their own skills by picking others, although there’s one that is worth grabbing for yourself as well.

Pull – Yes, Peebee already has this and uses it quite often, but you can never have too much of this ability. Simply tapping the button rips an enemy out of cover (you must remove their shield or armor first) and holds them helplessly in the air while also priming them. You can chain this into a powerful combo or just use the opportunity to shoot them down without any retaliation. You can even pull the enemy along with you by holding the button down. Upgrades center on duration and radius, but you can even use it to drain enemies of their energy  or debuff them.

Nova – This is a really good skill to have if you’re the type who likes close to medium combat (pistols, shotguns, melee). It sets off a powerful Biotic explosion all around you. The upgrades focus on damage and radius, we’d personally say go for damage, as the radius is sufficient. Also, do not opt for Shield-Powered unless you have a different skill that helps recharge your shields.

Shockwave – This skill is great for three reasons: it shoots through walls and cover, it knocks enemies back, and it primes targets. Peebee also uses this move, but it’s not a bad idea to have two soldiers with it. You can even add a bit of singularity effect called Lifting Shockwave at Rank 6.

Singularity – Works a lot like pull except it covers a small area rather than a single target. If you want to go for a different skill from what your squadmates have, this is a good option.

Barrier – Even if you’re not planning on using Biotics for you build, this is one skill that you should definitely invest in. It fortifies your shield, making it capable to withstand much more damage and letting you survive for a lot longer.

Outside of these skills you can focus on boosting recharge rates and power strength as you see fit.
