As in previous games Bioware, Mass Effect Andromeda allows you to train characters according to your style of play, right from the moment of creating your alter ego. In fact, during the creation process the player is asked what kind of training he wants for his character.
The purpose of this article is precisely to give you the opportunity to choose the best training method in Mass Effect Andromeda, in order to best adapt to your method of play.
How to choose the best training
All various types of training in Mass Effect Andromeda they are divided into several categories, from each type of training derive different skills that the player can have from the beginning. These skills will depend on the type of training selected and consequently this choice will have a strong impact on the entire run, as the way in which you face the various obstacles and missions will depend on it.
- Safety
Safety training provides the skill Concussive Shot, great for knocking out enemies when you need to change cover. Another starting skill is Turbocharging, which allows you to have a small boost to the rate of fire of the weapons and the efficiency of the thermal clips. Another skill is Combat Fitness, which increases the resistance as well as allowing you to bring more weapons into battle.
Who should choose this specialty: If you want to look like a steamroller this is the specialty you are looking for. Concussive Strike is very effective against Kett and the other skills will give you a lot of weapons, sooner than other classes.
- Biotic
With biotic abilities we will be able to use force fields, which will allow you to unlock powers such as Throw. Biotic powers are very useful for knocking enemies away or giving teammates a good view of enemies. Biotic abilities include: Singularity, which creates eddies that trap enemies, e Barrier, which improves the defenses, lowering the damage taken.
Who should choose this specialty: Biotics are the "magicians" of Mass Effect: in a nutshell, if you are the "Fireball" type, this is the class for you. You will not make much use of firearms, but that does not mean you will not be able to withstand a fight.
- Apparel
If you enjoy defeating enemies using technology, sometimes turning it against themselves, then the technician class could be interesting. The first power gained will be Overload, that through a stream of electrical discharges is able to cause massive damage to enemy shields as well as to synthetic enemies. It can even be cast on multiple targets at the same time. Another skill is Invasion, through which it will be possible to hack the enemy's armor and weapons, infecting them with a virus that will weaken them, also being able to expand to surrounding enemies.
Who should choose this specialty: as mentioned above this is the class for those who love to turn cars against the owner, as well as provide support to the team by staying in cover instead of on the front line.
- Leader
Training for those who want to set an example for their team. Many skills in this specialty focus on providing team support. The first skill will be Absorb Energy, which will allow you to absorb enemy barriers to restore your own, useful against the waves of Remnant. Other cane skills will be: Annihilation, which will create a mass effect aura around Ryder, slowing down enemies, e Team Support, which will increase the battle resistance of your allies.
Who should choose this specialty: This training is for those who want to provide support in both attack and defense.
- Combative
Needless to say, this class is for anyone who wants to easily come to blows. One of the first skills will be Charge, which will throw the player at the target, causing great damage to the victim. Another skill is Combat Fitness, which we have already talked about.

While, on the other hand, if you love hacking, the Technical specialty will be the best choice, while for those who love sneaking it will certainly go to the Operator.
