This reference focuses on named combat skills described in the retrieved Mass Effect Andromeda Skills page: six active powers and six passive skills. The page says players spend earned skill points, improve skills through ranks, and equip three active powers in combat. Its descriptions cover grenades, mines, weapon training, shield regeneration, and other effects, along with limits such as power cells, fuse timing, range, or reduced damage against armor. These records preserve the page’s stated functions and constraints. They do not compare effectiveness or establish costs, unlock locations, rankings, or interactions beyond what the passages say.
If comparing combat powers, begin with their described battlefield effects and activation limits; the page says only three active powers can be equipped at once.

Understand this choiceTemporarily vents weapon heat through armor to improve thermal clip efficiency and increase weapon firing rates.
Understand this choicePlaces a proximity or laser-triggered explosive; damage increases as enemies get closer, and active mine limits follow maximum power cells.
Understand this choiceFires krogan-designed shells that burst into shrapnel on impact; the shrapnel deals reduced damage against armored enemies.
Understand this choiceImproves sidearm training for pistols, including submachine guns, described as suited largely to short- and mid-range combat and shooting on the move.

Understand this choiceThe Skills page says players can equip three active powers in combat at one time. Its list of powers does not mean all listed powers are simultaneously equipped.
Omni Grenade, Barricade, Trip Mine, and Flak Cannon each explicitly require a power cell on activation. Trip Mine’s maximum active count also equals the current maximum power-cell count.
The source describes shotguns as inaccurate at long distances, sniper rifles as slow firing with limited capacities, and Flak Cannon shrapnel as reduced against armored enemies.
