Charge

Charge is a biotic power exclusive to Vanguards in Mass Effect 2. The Vanguard uses biotics to augment speed and strength, and charges across the battlefield towards a target. This culminates in a powerful collision that sends enemies flying backward, inflicting massive damage. The collision negates the mass of an enemy, allowing for even the largest of enemies to be sent flying backwards.

This power also compensates for impeding obstacles, by allowing the Vanguard to 'phase' through solid objects en route to their target. It can also be used on enemies who have been levitated by other biotic talents, and can multiply physics damage to send them off into the distance. As the Vanguard further masters this ability, Charge will slow down time as the Vanguard heads towards the target, permitting additional damage.

Charge requires a target to function.

Rank 4
At rank 4 the player has the choice of evolving the power to one of two more powerful versions, Heavy Charge or Area Charge.

Heavy Charge

 * Heavy Charge greatly increases the charge's impact, knocking targets back and doing more damage. The focus generated by this field also briefly slows down the world around you, giving you more time to react when coming out of the charge.
 * Recharge Time: 6.00 seconds
 * Range: 40.00 meters
 * Impact Force: 1000.00 newtons
 * Shield Strength: 100.00% of maximum shields
 * Shield Duration: 4.00 seconds

Area Charge

 * Area Charge improves the charge so it unleashes a wave of biotic force around the impact point, knocking back all nearby enemies.
 * Recharge Time: 6.00 seconds
 * Range: 40.00 meters
 * Impact Force: 750.00 newtons
 * Shield Strength: 75.00% of maximum shields
 * Shield Duration: 4.00 seconds
 * Impact Radius: 3.00 meters
