Vanguard

Their sature ability is Charge (available in ME2 and ME3), which allows them to rapidly close the distance to an enemy, dealing damage and restoring shields upon impact. In Mass Effect 3, Vanguards gain access to Nova, an explosive biotic burst that damages and staggers nearby enemies. Other key powers include Shockwave, a wave of biotic energy that can knock down multiple foes, and the ability to trigger devastating Biotic Explosions by combining biotic powers.

The Vanguard's strengths lie in their incredible mobility and ability to disrupt enemy formations, making them a terrifying force on the front lines for players who enjoy a direct and impactful combat approach.
