Mass Effect Legendary Edition Samara companion guide detailing her powers like Throw Field and Heavy Reave, and her bonuses to weapon damage and power recharge.

  • HP: 240
  • Barrier: 250
  • Weapon Damage: +18%
  • Power Recharge Time: -25%
  • Weapons: Assault Rifle, Submachine Gun

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Throw Field: Excellent for crowd control against swarming organic enemies like husks.
  2. 2
    Pull: Not particularly useful to level up.
  3. 3
    Reave: An improved Warp power. It deals damage over time, but with bonuses, it inflicts more total damage. It also stuns enemies and nearly doubles the user's health while providing regeneration. Against non-health defenses (like Armor and Barrier), Reave's damage is almost instantaneous.
  4. 4
    Heavy Reave: Recommended for quickly defeating strong, single enemies, especially those with Armor and Barrier, which are typically boss-type enemies.
  5. 5
    Weapon Proficiency: Samara's access to assault rifles provides her with superior personal weapon damage compared to other biotic specialists.
  6. 6
    Loyalty Ability: Her unique loyalty ability makes her an optimal choice once loyal.
  7. 7
    Optimal Use Cases: Samara is the best choice for tackling Barrier and Armored bosses, or for missions specifically against Collectors. She can manage crowds with Throw and powerful single targets with Reave.
Tips
  • Prioritize leveling Throw Field for crowd control and Heavy Reave for boss encounters.
  • Leverage her +18% Weapon Damage bonus by equipping her with an assault rifle or submachine gun.
  • Her Power Recharge Time bonus of -25% allows her to use biotic powers more frequently.
  • Consider her health regeneration from Heavy Reave for survivability in tough fights.
