Mass Effect Andromeda: 15 Crucial Tips & Tricks The Game Doesn't Tell You

13. How To Do A Ground-Pound

A simple tactic that replaces Mass Effect 3's 'pull enemy over cover' animation, no longer can you interact with enemies using a contextual prompt, but thanks to Andromeda's jump and dodge-boost functions, it lets you bound around the environment for surprise attacks instead.

Case in point: The new ground-pound, done by leaping into the air, positioning yourself over an enemy and hitting Triangle/Y to come crashing down with your omni-tool, creating a blast radius in the process.

Sadly this animation doesn't change even if you have a Krogan hammer or Asari blade equipped, but it'll almost always send an enemy flying, interrupting their attack and allowing you to land a follow blow or flurry of firepower.
