Guide to the Adept Class in Mass Efffect

The Adept begins with very weak defense since he can only wear light armor. Basic Armor is his specialty, so light armor is the way to go for the Adept. This means you will have to rely on Shield Boost and Barrier, two talents that improve his energy shields. Shield Boost recharges them while Barrier increases how much you have.

The Adept can lose a lot of health when he gets hit by the enemy, so it's necessary to build some defense on him by adding talent points to Shield Boost and Barrier. If your squad dies often, consider upgrading the Specter Training talent too, since you can unlock Unity, a talent that lets you revive fallen teammates. You should know that none of your teammates have any talents that revive fallen comrades, so Unity is a rare talent to have.

Besides biotics to improve his defense, make it a goal to collect the best light armor out there. Since you can only use biotics, get a teammate with the tech talent, Electronics, so you can unlock secured crates that may contain good armor; make sure to sell anything you find that's no longer needed to merchants, so you receive more money and are able to purchase any light armor and upgrades available.

The Charm and Intimidate skills can also help you at the shop. The better your Charm is, the less items will cost; the better your Intimidate skill is, the more vendors will pay for your goods.

Accessories called armor upgrades can be applied onto your light armor; since the Adept has a weak defense, you should wear the best upgrades. They can give the armor you're wearing some additional bonuses, from health, shields, regeneration, and biotics and tech protection.

Make sure during combat that you use Singularity, Stasis, Warp, Lift, and Throw to give time for your teammates to attack without worrying about enemy fire coming at them all the time. One strategy is to use Singularity to suck the enemies out of cover, then use Warp on them to lower their defense; when a group of de-buffed enemies are close together, your squad will have an easier time killing them off in a short span; it's better than taking them down individually and wondering where the rest are hiding.

If you upgrade the Adept to Bastion and master the Stasis talent, then enemies are no longer immune to any attack when you cast Stasis.
