Mass Effect 3 Companions Guide: Vem, vad, var och hur (2023)

Medan den förstaMasseffektpresenterade dig för skördarna ochMass Effect 2hade du åkt på ett självmordsuppdrag, det sista spelet i trilogin,Mass Effect 3, lade hela universums öde i dina händer när du ledde anklagelsen mot den inkommande Reaper-invasionen. Så det hjälper säkert att ha det bästa av det bästa som backar upp dig på alla dina uppdrag.

Mass Effect 3 Companions Guide: Vem, vad, var och hur (1)

Tyvärr är skaran av spelbara karaktärer i Mass Effect 3 liten jämfört med Mass Effect 2.

Nedan finns vår guide för Mass Effect 3-följeslagare, där du hittar de åtta karaktärerna som du kan rekrytera i spelet, samt var du kan hitta dem och hur du kan få dem att gå med i ditt lag.

Översikt

Ashley Williams

Förutsatt att du inte lämnade Ashley Williams för att dö i den första Mass Effect under Virmire-uppdraget, kommer Ashley Williams att återvända i Mass Effect 3. Du kan rekrytera Ashley att gå med i ditt lag under Akt II under Priority: Mars-uppdraget.

Som en alliansofficer med en unik kraft i Marksman är Ashleys vapenskadepotential näst efter Garrus. Vi rekommenderar att maxa ut sin skytt och utveckla den för att förbättra hennes eldhastighet och varaktighet. När det gäller hennes vapen, används Ashley bäst när hon har ett automatgevär med ett högt antal magasin som N7 Typhoon.

Ashley kan också kombinera sin Inferno Grade med Concussive Shot. Men hennes Disruptor Ammo ska inte underskattas också. Till skillnad från i Mass Effect 2 fungerar Disruptor Ammo nu mot både barriärer och sköldar.

Kaidan Alenko

Om Kaidan överlevde Virmire-uppdraget i det första Mass Effect-spelet, kommer du att kunna rekrytera honom under Priority: Mars-uppdraget i Act II, precis som Ashley.

Till skillnad från Ashley, som är inriktad på att ge ytterligare eldkraft, är Kaidan ett mer mångsidigt alternativ. Han har tillgång till Overload för att ta hand om sköldar och barriärer med Cryo Blast för att försvaga rustningar och inaktivera oskyddade fiender. Samtidigt, eftersom han är en alliansofficer, drar han naturligtvis nytta av ett uppsving för sin teknik- och biotikkraft.

Du kan också leka med Kaidan och förvandla honom till en tank med tillgång till både Reave- och Barrier-skadeskyddsbuffert. Även om detta begränsar hans biotiska skador, kan Kaidan åtminstone använda automatgevär, vilket betyder att han alltid är relevant skademässigt.

James Vega

James Vega är tillgänglig att rekrytera direkt under prologen, vilket gör honom till den första karaktären som går med i ditt lag i Mass Effect 3.

Med Grunt och Urdnot Wrex båda otillgängliga i Mass Effect 3, är James roll att förskjuta båda och agera som lagets poängman. Han är nästan oöverträffad på den avdelningen tack vare sin befästningskraft, med hans Arms Master-klass som ger honom en enorm bonus till hälsa och sköldar som gör honom svår att ta ner även i högre svårigheter.

Den kanske största bonusen med att ha James i sin trupp är Squad Bonus-utvecklingen som gör hela truppen tuffare med James runt.

Det enda problemet med James är att han inte riktigt tillför så mycket till bordet när det gäller eldkraft eller personlighet.

Liara T’Soni

Liksom James är Liara tillgänglig att rekrytera under prologen till Mass Effect 3. Tyvärr är det precis där deras likheter slutar.

Spelmässigt är Liara raka motsatsen till James. Hon är ett biotiskt kraftpaket med lite som går hennes väg när det gäller defensiva alternativ. Tack och lov, hennes offensiva förmågor via Stasis,Säregenhet, liksom Warp Ammo, är mer än tillräckligt för att kompensera hennes sårbarhet.

Utöver detta är Liara den enda gruppmedlemmen i Mass Effect 3 som kan använda Warp, vilket är ännu bättre nu än det var i Mass Effect 3.

Den kanske största tillgången för Liara är hur snabbt hon kan kasta sina förmågor efter varandra. Du behöver inte nödvändigtvis para ihop henne med en annan biotika, även om det skulle hjälpa. Hon är perfekt kapabel att skapa kombinationer utan hjälp. Så länge du kan hålla henne säker kan Liara ta hand om alla dina problem åt dig.

Tali'Zorah du Normandie

Förutsatt att Tali överlevde självmordsuppdraget i Mass Effect 2, kommer hon tillbaka i Mass Effect 3. Du kan rekrytera henne för att delta i dina krigsansträngningar i akt II i spelet.

(Video) The PHENOMENON BRUNO GROENING – documentary film – PART 3

Till skillnad från i de två första Mass Effect-spelen, sträcker sig Talis hjälpmedel i Mass Effect 3 nu till även icke-syntetiska fiender. Gör inga misstag. Hon kommer fortfarande att vara mycket effektivare mot syntet, med Energy Drain och Sabotage. Däremot kan hon använda en stridsdrönare och försvarsdrönare nu, som har ganska snabba laddningshastigheter, vilket gör att hon kan utdela sin beskärda del av skadan mot alla typer av fiender.

Tyvärr är Tali bäst utnyttjad om du kan ta dig tid att lära dig hur hennes kit fungerar. Framför allt ligger Talis huvudsakliga användning i Mass Effect 3 i att veta hur och när man ska kedja Energy Drain och Sabotage, tillsammans med Overload. Annars kommer du att slösa bort din tid på att försöka förvandla henne till något hon inte är.

Garrus Varkarian

Allas favorit Turian återvänder i Mass Effect 3 om han överlevde händelserna i Mass Effect 2.

I likhet med sin roll i de två första Mass Effect-spelen förblir Garrus oförändrad i Mass Effect 3. Han är fortfarande ett kraftpaket med lång räckvidd med en svit av tekniska krafter som låter honom ta hand om fiender med sköldar och barriärer. Han har också mycket nytta med den pansarbrytande ammunitionen, särskilt eftersom några av dina lagkamrater tenderar att skjuta mot fiender även när de är undercover.

Att para överbelastning med Concussive Shot är också bra för publikkontroll, särskilt eftersom du kan spam denna kombination ganska ofta. Under tiden kan du utveckla Proximity Mine för att göra svårare mål lättare att ta ner.

Det enda problemet vi ser med Garrus är att det är frestande att försöka få alla hans förmågor. Detta riskerar att sprida honom för tunn, vilket inte är idealiskt när Garrus redan lider av att inte kunna använda sina krafter lika mycket som andra lagkamrater.

EDI

Du kan rekrytera EDI, Normandies bosatta AI, i hennes fysiska form direkt efter att ditt uppdrag i den turiska hemvärlden är slut. Du måste dock se till att du rekryterar henne innan du lämnar.

(Video) Top New Games of December -Videogames - Callisto Protocol is just One

EDI:s användbarhet i Mass Effect 3 kommer från det mycket enkla faktum att hon är den enda med Incinerate i spelet. På grund av detta och hennes Unshackled AI-klasskraft har EDI den högsta råskadepotentialen av alla rekryterbara truppmedlemmar. Detta är speciellt när du får truppbonusar, vapenmods, hennes standardkostym, såväl som om och när du utvecklar hennes Defense Matrix-kraft.

Även när EDI inte kan enträffa fiender, kommer hennes andra förmågor fortfarande väl till pass eftersom hon kan göra tuffare fiender mer sårbara för skada. Om den paras ihop med andra sabotage-utövande partimedlemmar och kryo-attacker, ökar EDI:s skadepotential ytterligare. Men även på egen hand kan EDI effektivt ta bort sköldar och barriärer från fiender med lätthet och öppna dem för att ta mer skada från resten av truppen.

Vi rekommenderar att fokusera mer på att få EDI:s förmågor att laddas snabbare i stället för att maximera hennes skadepotential, särskilt i högre svårigheter.

Javi

Javik är den enda gruppmedlemmen i Mass Effect 3 som är tillgänglig exklusivt som enDLCkaraktär via "From Ashes" DLC, som gör hans rekryteringsuppdrag, "Priority: Eden Prime", tillgängligt.

I likhet med Liara är Javic en biotikspecialist. Han lutar sig dock inte så hårt mot att använda sina biotiska krafter. Istället kompenserar han för det med sin hållbarhet och eldkraft, vilket i huvudsak gör honom till den biotiska Garrus. Utvecklingen av hans Vengeful Ancient-klass förbättrar också hela partiets Shield Recharge-hastighet med så mycket som 20%.

Javiks kombo är ganska enkel: Dra, Slam, Lyft Granat och upprepa. Med sin svarta rustning utrustad utdelar Javik mest skada över ett stort område av alla gruppmedlemmar med hjälp av sina lyftgranater.

Även om Javik inte är särskilt effektiv mot skyddade fiender kan han alltid skjuta ner dem om det behövs.
