Combining the same tank-like toughness of the other krogan classes, their racial affinity towards more “hands-on” violence, with the class-defining Vanguard ability to get close to the enemy and inflict immense damage in the blink of an eye, the Krogan Vanguard is a beast of a class in every sense. Biotic Charge is as powerful as ever, naturally restoring half of your shields upon impact with an enemy, and this can be leveled to restore full shields with every use. The Carnage ability remains an effective armor and health shredding ability, while Barrier bolsters the already impressive defenses of a krogan at the cost of increased cooldown times.
What makes the Krogan Vanguard so much fun to play is tied directly into the Krogan Rage passive power. Killing three enemies with melee attacks within 30 seconds with melee attacks drives the krogan into a rage that increases melee damage and reduces all damage taken for thirty seconds. With Biotic Charge, you can constantly find new victims and fuel your krogan rage almost endlessly. Take a light weapon like the Disciple shotgun with you, and you’ll have Biotic Charge and Carnage available almost constantly, on top of having a solid close to mid-range solution.
