.2A.06. Engineer

Master the Engineer class in Mass Effect with our comprehensive build guide. Learn recommended skills, advanced training, and effective strategies for combat.

Recommended Build (Level 30):

1. Area Overload (4)
2. Incineration Blast (4)
3. Attack Drone (4)
4. Cryo Blast (0)
5. AI Hacking (0)
6. Demolisher (4)

Advanced Training Recommendations:

• Heavy Reave (4)

Reave is a significant upgrade over Incinerate, providing an effective attack against Barriers. When facing organic enemies without Reave, the Engineer's primary strategy is to use the Drone as a decoy. With Reave, the Engineer becomes an offensive powerhouse. An alternative build could focus on Dominate and AI Hacking for enemy control, though this may be challenging on higher difficulties.

Overload is effective against Shields and Synthetics, while Incinerate or Reave targets Armor and health. During leveling, prioritize upgrading the Drone, then Overload, your passive ability, and Reave. This build lacks an Ammo ability, so rely on squadmates for support in this area.

Tips:

• Evolve your Drone first while leveling.
• Focus on Overload, your passive ability, and Reave for upgrades.
• Squadmates cannot retrain abilities, so plan their skill point allocation carefully.
• Be cautious with
