So, I started buying Vet packs today in an attempt to collect more Gear equipment. In the second Vet pack I unlocked the Ex-Cerberus Phoenix Adept. More than a dozen Premium Spectre packs since the DLC went online, god only knows how many Spectre packs, and I get it easily in Vet pack.
I'm really starting to hate this random store system. e_e
Anyway, now I have one of each new character. The Pheonix is boss. His regular melee is the stun-baton that Cerberus soldiers use and his heavy melee is a wide-arc flail with twin biotic whips. (had a melee showdown with a Phantom that was pretty sweet)
His two unique powers are not intuitive at all. The "Smash" power is the one that uses the twin whips to pound the ground -- it doesn't go through walls although the animation does and seems to be stopped by low cover. I'm not sure how many enemies it hits (my guess is 2) or what the maximum distance is. But, when I do time it right they cartwheel away into the air like Team Rocket. Knocked a lot of people off the map on Jade.
The "Lash" power pulls targets more or less toward you. Too often they're thrown in a random direction. The unpredictability kinda ruins it, since it's the setup for a Biotic Combo with Smash. It also yanks Guardian shields down like Pull, so that's nice.
All three of the new characters were fun to play with. Now I just need to get the Phoenix Vanguard and Quarian Male Infiltrator, since their skill set seems superior to the ones I have.
