Warp is a biotic talent in Mass Effect 1 which lowers the armor on the target, increases the damage an enemy takes and also deals damage over time. It is especially useful on harder difficults like Insanity, where many enemies come with strong barriers and armor and it can be used to prevent krogan regenerating. Warp is available for Adepts, Vanguards, Liara (Asari Scientist) and Wrex (Krogan Battlemaster).
