Characters Recruited Mordin

In the first half of this Mission, you'll be fighting mostly Blue Suns, who use shields. In the second half you'll fight Vorcha and Krogans who have armor but no shields. Bringing along Characters with abilities like Incendiary Ammo and Incinerate will help deal with their regeneration. There is a Weapons locker at Mordin's clinic, after which you'll be fighting nothing but Vorcha and Krogans, so feel free to switch to any armor-piercing Weapons you have available at that point.
