Incinerate

Incinerate is a tech power available to Engineers, Infiltrators, Mordin, and Dr. Amanda Kenson in Mass Effect 2. It is a high-explosive plasma round fired from the user's omni-tool that inflicts damage over time to all nearby enemies and permanently stops their health regeneration. Against armor, the damage this ability deals is 2.4 times the usual amount. Like Overload, this power causes unprotected enemies equipped with flamethrowers to explode.

When fired by Shepard, this power travels in the direction of the cross-hair, arcing towards the target. When fired by Mordin, this power will travel in a straight line, instantly hitting the target.

Player Notes

 * Damage is dealt instantly against protection (armor, barriers, and shields).
 * Incinerate deals the listed damage amount against barriers, shields and organic health. Synthetic enemies are fire resistant and take significantly less damage to both health and armour.
 * Unprotected organics panic for the duration. Most protected enemies are briefly staggered upon being hit.
 * On higher difficulties, a leveled up Incinerate may be a better, and more damaging alternative to Overload against weakly shielded enemies. This is because Incinerate is capable of not only depleting an enemy's shields, but causing additional damage to their health. Whereas Overload would take down their shields and cause no further damage.
