Possessed Abomination

Possessed Abominations are enemies in Mass Effect 3's multiplayer, added with the Retaliation Pack DLC.

Capabilities
Offensive

The Possessed Abominations behave the same as their normal versions, with one major difference - their explosion is far more powerful. Like them, they will run towards you and grab you once you're in melee range. Unless you break free by rapidly pressing the melee attack button, they will explode. They will also explode on death, causing massive amounts of damage to anyone unfortunate enough to be caught in the blast, friend or foe. Defensive

Possessed Abominations have relatively low health on par with Husks. Unlike regular Abominations, they possess weak barriers for additional protection.

Tactics

 * The post-mortem explosion can be prevented if the abomination's head has been severed from its body. This can be achieved with headshots or heavy melee attacks of batarian, vorcha and N7 Shadow and Slayer characters.
 * Their explosions can easily knock down players or groups of players so it is important to prioritize them as targets before they can get on top of you.
 * Killing these husk strategically (such as when they are in a crowd of enemies) can be very useful.
 * Refrain from using powers such as Lash or Pull, as these will draw Possessed Abominations closer to you, and possibly kill them, resulting in massive damage to yourself.
