The Kett Vakarsh is a melee weapon in Mass Effect: Andromeda.

Description[]

The kett Vakarsh, translated as "punitive immolation," works on a similar principle as kett firearms: a mechanical core - in this case, a blade - maintains a magnetic field containing superheated plasma. The Vakarsh lacks the cutting power of a monomolecular weapon and ignites its victims instead.

Features[]

The Kett Vakarsh is a mid-tier melee weapon that is able to prime enemies for a Fire Combo MEA Primer Heat icon. It is swung horizontally in a spinning move, which enables it to hit multiple targets around the wielder, making it useful for crowd control purposes.

Strategies[]

  • As with most melee weapons, the Vakarsh is best suited to Vanguard-style builts that regularly get up-close and personal with the enemy. It excels in battle against clustered infantry where its spin attack can hit the maximum number of targets in a single strike, ideally killing them all before they can recover. Enemy reinforcements jumping from drop-ships are ideal targets for a Vakarsh attack.
  • Unlike its counterpart, the Kett Carfalon, the Vakarsh's burn effect means that it is possible and advisable to follow up a melee strike on surviving enemies with any detonator power to trigger a combo detonation and finish them off.
