The Soldier class is the default option for both a male and female Shepard and is a pure combat class. The other three, Vanguard, Sentinel, and Infiltrator, combine abilities from two classes to allow Shepard a greater range of combat options. Three classes, Soldier, Adept, and Engineer, are the pure combat, biotics, and tech classes, respectively. In Mass Effect, there are six classes combining weapons combat, biotic, and tech abilities. Across the Mass Effect trilogy, players can select a class for their unique Commander Shepard from one of six options.
