1. Pelessaria B’Sayle, Peebee for Short (Rogue Academic)
Peebee is the most eccentric character in Mass Effect: Andromeda. To be honest, it was expected that she’d be a huge character since she was one of the first shown off in trailers smiling and avoiding death in hilarious fashion. However, I’m not sure many would have expected her to be a great team member, as well. First, let’s take a look at Peebee the person.
She’s a genius scientist like a lot of the Asari you’ll meet, but she thinks outside of the box. She’s in love with adventure and everything “new.” When you first encounter her, she tackles you as she expresses how amazing it was to see you figure out technology she’s been studying for months. Her curiosity and excitement sometimes make her ignore everything else, but there’s something pure about her, even if she does come off as a trickster. Plus, she develops a cool toy for you, so you can’t be mad at that. She can be serious when needed, as well, and that shows on the battlefield.
She’s the only partner who has a perk that benefits solely her and the Pathfinder. It raises the damage and force of any Biotic powers you may have. But even if you aren’t into Biotic abilities, she’s still a great asset on the field, primarily for her crowd control abilities. She has the ability to remove enemies from cover, deal massive damage, prime enemies for you to take advantage, and weaken opponents. She can hold enemies in the air thanks to Pull, allowing for vicious combos that send enemies hurtling through the sky. She can use Shockwave to shoot through cover, knocking back enemies, leaving them open for you no matter what type of weapon you’re using, and she can infect them with a virus to lower their defense (and that virus can spread). Like Drack, she’s one of the few that is a viable option to support all play styles. Couple that with her charm and lovable persona, and you have a partner you’ll never want to leave behind. Oh, and if you ever get the chance, bring Jaal along for some hilarious discourse between the two.
