Flames Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 What is the best squad to acompany Shepard? I know it all depends on Shepard class but what do you think And the 2 worst squad members? Liara and Garrus are a must to me, good lines they have too Ashley is really bad and i dont like one bit James Vega and he isnt that good either compared to Garrus So what say you, most reliable squad?

ecto69 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) it really does depend on who the bad guys are Geth=Tali Reapers/Husks=Vega or Javik (I use Vega mostly) I actually now have Ashley as much as possible. Garrus sometimes. (if you need a good sniper) Edited March 21, 2012 by ecto69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShieldWarden Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) Garrus was my top squadmate. Took him almost everywhere. As it's put so well in the game, "There is no Shepard without Vakarian." Second, would most likely be James. Even though I played as a Soldier, I still played through the endgame with Garrus and Vega. Vega (especially with his Fortification power) is built like a tank, with mine being 1000/1000 with health and shields. Plus, Carnage which works so well against so many enemy types. And Freddy Prinze Jr. did a great job voicing him. Definitely Liara after that. She may be on the weaker side with horrible health and average barriers, but her biotics pack a punch. Then probably Tali. Then, Javik. Then, a tie between EDI and Kaidan. Edited March 22, 2012 by ShieldWarden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_l_M_B_0 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 If I am just playing around for fun I will always bring Ashley and Garrus/Javik. If I am on Insanity, Liara is a must because of Stasis. I never use Tali, EDI, or James. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bboy.gaz Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 If I am just playing around for fun I will always bring Ashley and Garrus/Javik. If I am on Insanity, Liara is a must because of Stasis. I never use Tali, EDI, or James. Liara especially for insanity. Constant singularity and Stasis is a must every 3 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheJLC Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Best: Garrus when you need a sniper + he has overload and mines to take out shields and armor. Worst: EDI, doesn't do anything and her powers are useless to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanW18 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 As a soldier on insanity, my most used squadmate was Edi. She has Overload & Incinerate. I found those powers useful. I also took Liara a lot, because she has Singularity, Stasis & Warp. If I was fighting Geth, I took Tali along with me. I also took Javik along on a few missions. No real reason why. I just wanted to hear his dialogue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagles1990 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I was a sentinel if that means anything... I'm also going off my Insanity run Best: Garrus and James: We ran train through this game to the point where insanity might as well had been Normal mode. Me and Garrus with the Level 10 M-92 Mantis and James with the level 10 Geth Plasma Shotgun. Then my Warp, Overload, Warp Ammo and Cryo Freeze combined with Garrus' Overload and Concussive shot and James' Carnage was simply deadly. Worst: EDI and Liara- At times it felt like they had no health based on how many times I had to save them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hrafn254 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 My choice was almost always Liara and Javik. Not that they were the best ones, but Javik had occasionally some interesting bits about the Prothean civilization and its impact on the current cycle. And Liara and her singularity and wrap were for me most useful abilities. The ones I never touched outside the missions you have to have them was James and EDI. I didn't take Kaiden with me, so can't say anything about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falknerx Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Best: Javik, Garrus, and Liara. Javik for his dialogue, Garrus for his gun-play, and Liara's biopics for getting around pretty much any enemy. Worst: EDI, James. I don't like Edi's skill set and James is such a boring meathead.

Moving On Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I was surprised at how useless EDI was to me in my first playthrough (on Normal). Tried to take her on a few missions, but defeating the enemies took longer and I had to do most of the work when she was around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tagzero Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 EDI and Kaiden for me (which is funny since seems like most people hated them). Overload is killer in this game, so two versions was perfect, and I like Incinerate/Reave for stripping armor. Once they're at health, it's playtime for Shep's biotics.

Duskfire Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I used Javik and EDI mostly. Javik because of his comments that built up so much lore for me, and not sure why about EDI, she intrigued me and fit my character well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zenzerian Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 At first it was Garrus and Javik that I used, but I slowly realized Javik get's down quite a bit and then started using James and he doesn't EVER go down it seems. Fortification does him well. The worst character......EDI or Kaiden, on my game they liked to run in the middle of stuff and it got to where I didn't bother saving them because of how much they got downed.

Metalboy921 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I only used EDI when I absolutely had to... utterly useless in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multitasking Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Playing as an adept, EDI is a beast. Decoy is a must for major encounters, and if you use her powers properly. she will far surpass many of the others. Decoy - awesome * and will help you roll KL when the time comes * Overload - awesome Incinerate - awesome If you want squadmates that just run on their own. Take James and Garrus. But if you like to manage the field and abilities yourself. Take EDI... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bounty V Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 My personal favorite squad was Garrus and Javik. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CODEx_Vip3r Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 For most of the game is used Liara and Javik and I was a Sentinel Singularity-Slam and I had the Overload for shields When I got towards the end I used Tali to hack turrets Very end I used EDI for her incineration for brutes and banshee mostly and Javiks special (I forget the name) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpjoe999 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 (edited) i'm playing through insanity as an engineer imported from ME2. this is my first run through the game. haven't gotten far (just finished Priority: Sur'Kesh), but so far Liara's stasis has been working wonders. all i have to do after she stasis an enemy is a headshot with my sniper rifle. blam - one shot kill. her singularity is useful for removing the guardian's shields. i'll probably take her with me on most future missions. she has low health, but i just order her to stay in cover. too bad i had to break up with her, since i'm going for Ashley also broke my heart to see Miranda cry but i digress... for the other squadmate, i've been taking James because he is such a tank. but i would prefer to take someone that has a biotic power so i can do biotic combos with Liara's powers. Kaidan has reave, but he is not available because he died in ME1... even if he was alive he won't be available for much of the game anyway.

PratikH Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 It really depends on what class your Shepard is. Your team should always have one combat, one biotic, and one tech. In ME2 I was a Soldier (combat), so my usual team was Tali (tech) and Jacob or Samara (biotic). In ME3 I am an Engineer (tech), so my usual team is James (combat) and Liara (biotic).

tagzero Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Kaiden/Ashley are available for at least two-thirds of the game, so they're definitely worth considering. I've started my Insanity run with my Femgineer; the difficulty has been all over the place. The priority missions have been a cakewalk, but I died many times in Javik's recruitment and at the Academy. Been heaps of fun though, especially with this combat rebalancing that means biotics are actually useful in Insanity. I've discovered that the Particle Beam assault rifle is ridiculously powerful, so am thinking my party will be Kaiden and Liara (although it would have been nice to have another choice for biotic teammate).

knkarm Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 I play as an Infiltrator. In order of frequency: Liara Garrus Tie between Javik and Ashley James (not a fan of his dialogue or gameplay) EDI (rarely gets off the ship) Tali was used extensively during the Geth missions.

Getsuoni Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 I just went with Liara and Javik, made insanity not as bad as the other difficulty's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felatio Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 (edited) The Prothean Javik is phenomenal, I take him with me every mission. I usually alternate between EDI and Liara as my 3rd member, depending on the mission parameters of course. Sometimes Garrus is a good fit as well but the rest of them are pretty well useless for my particular character (Soldier) Edited March 24, 2012 by felatio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syn_Zero Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 If you're not playing as an Engineer, Tali is great to have along. Combat Drone is awesome since it does damage to enemies (unlike EDI's Decoy, I think) and distracts them so they won't all target you. And the Defense Drone provides some extra defense for enemies that tend to flank you or get close. Garrus is also a staple. Give him a strong sniper rifle like an upgraded Javelin/Widow and he can practically one-shot everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
