Learn how to use the Warp biotic ability in Mass Effect: Legendary Edition. Discover its power levels, duration, recharge times, and how to unlock advanced and master versions.
Alright, let's talk about one of the coolest biotic powers you can get your hands on: Warp. This is your go-to for really weakening enemies, making them super vulnerable to your attacks. Think of it as stripping away their defenses so you and your squad can pile on the damage. It's a must-have, especially if you're playing as an Adept or just want to add some serious punch to your combat abilities.
Warp Power Levels
Warp starts off pretty good and gets even better as you invest in it. Here's the breakdown:
- Warp: This is your baseline. It hits a target for 6 damage every second for 7 seconds, and crucially, it cuts their damage protection in half (50%). The ability has a 4m radius and takes 60 seconds to recharge. It costs 80% of your accuracy to use.
- Advanced Warp: Once you level this up, you're looking at 8 damage per second for 13 seconds, with a whopping 60% damage protection reduction. The radius bumps up to 5m, and the recharge time drops to 50 seconds. Still 80% accuracy cost.
- Master Warp: This is the big one. You'll be dealing 10 damage per second for a full 20 seconds, and their damage protection plummets by 75%! The radius is now 6m, and it only takes 40 seconds to recharge. Accuracy cost remains 80%.
