| 8 | Kaidan Alenko |
If you sacrificed Ashley on Virmire, Kaidan will be the first familiar squad member face you run into on Earth. Kaidan takes on the role of Sentinel and comes equipped with Overload, Barrier, Cryo Blast and Reave. He is one of the only squad members with biotics, and has a mixture of organic and synthetic damaging talents. Overload can be used to rid enemies of their shields and barriers while Reave can be used to prevent foes from healing. Barrier acts as a biotic version of Tech Armor, giving Kaiden an extra layer of defense while Cryo Blast can be used against armor foes. If you can get past his whining, he's one of Mass Effect 3's best squad members. Yes, I know you get headaches sometimes, Kaiden. I heard you the first thousand times.

| 7 | James Vega |
James is Mass Effect 3's powerhouse character. With abilities such as Carnage, Fortification and Incendiary Ammo, James is the perfect weapon against heavily armored foes. Brutes and armored Cerberus soldiers are no match for James, as he can rip through their defenses with Carnage and his Incendiary Ammo while using Fortification to take heavy damage himself. When all is said and done, James can chuck a few frag grenades into the fray for good measure. If you can get past his Jersey Shore looks, James could be a powerful ally. Just tell him to knock the "loco" crap off.

| 6 | Ashley Williams |
At first, Ashley looks like a typical Soldier class character. With Marksman, Concussive Shot and Inferno Grenade at her disposal, Ashley can hold her own against most types of foes. What gives Ashley an edge over enemies with shields or barriers, however, is her Disruptor Ammo. Pairing Ashley up with another character with armor-damaging powers like Incinerate or Incendiary Ammo means you'll have all your bases covered. Adding Ashley to your squad means you'll have all your bases covered. She has really let her hair down for Mass Effect 3, literally.
