Captain Enyala

Captain Enyala is an asari commando and captain of the Eclipse on Illium. Commander Shepard encounters her while assisting Miranda on her loyalty mission.

Capabilities
Offensive

Enyala is a Vanguard, and will behave similarly to the Eclipse Vanguard in combat. She wields a M-300 Claymore Heavy Shotgun, in addition to her biotics. If she is at shotgun-ineffective range, she will use her Warp ability to weaken her target before closing in to deal massive damage with her shotgun.

Defensive

She is considered a boss, and thus possesses a strong biotic barrier, is thickly armored, and has a lot of health.

Tactics
Being surrounded by her Eclipse allies of varying difficulty and combat style, it is difficult to focus solely on Enyala. Defeating her, especially on higher difficulties, will revolve around forcing her to retreat by dropping her defensive layers in between dispatching her allies. If left unchecked, her allies will quickly kill Shepard's squad while their attention is drawn. A good tactic is to use any available Warp, Reave and Concussive Shot abilities to drop her barrier and use the time she takes to get behind cover to kill a few of her allies. When she begins charging again, destroy her armor with fire-based skills such as Incinerate and Incendiary Ammo, as well as more Warps. After she is down to only health, she will be more cautious, but still advance on the player. Finish her off with focused squad powers. Using abilities that slow her down, such as Throw and Cryo Blast, will effectively remove her as a threat after she only has health remaining. If she closes in, all available powers and abilities should be directed towards killing her quickly, since her shotgun will destroy player defenses in just a handful of shots. Combat Drones can be used to distract her, but she may ignore them.
