Weapons

For your weapon, craft the scattershot remnant shotgun with the shield oscillator and plasma charge system. Add more other helpful augmentations if you’d like. The shield oscillator restores 25% shields while the plasma charge system quickly depletes the clip. This means that at all times your shield will automatically recharge.

Armor

For armor, use pieces like N7 Armor or Remnant heritage armor. These two will augment your suit with biotic buffs to help your powers recharge and deal better damage. Remnant heritage armor, with shield-boosting augments, will help a lot, especially when using the Nova skill.

Profile

Use an Adept Profile to fully make use of your powers. Using this profile allows you to bring down your foes with the biotic echoes ability, as well as giving you a substantial amount of damage against your enemy.
