How to unlock the Tactician achievement in Mass Effect - Definitive Guide

Preferred to play game on an easier setting for this achievement.

Simply keep your shields full as often as you can, if you are a Soldier use your Shield Boost ability to keep them full and take cover often or if you are a Biotic, use the Barrier skill.

Also purchase / find the Shield Interface upgrades as they are good for adding shield bars, you can have up to 6 bars.

All in all you will probably get this achievement without even trying.

Well, according to TA, 22,885 people on this site have beaten the game, and all 22,885 people have managed to do it taking more shield damage than actual damage.

It looks to me that you'd really really have to work at it to NOT get this achievement.

I got it aswell at the end of my first playthrough without even trying.

All i can advise is that when your shield goes, take cover and recharge your shield before leaving cover to continue the fight.

Always duck and cover when shields go away until it refills.

I did this as a soldier on medium.

Take cover often. Lean out, take shots at people, and when your shield is depleted, take cover, and use shield boost. Lean out, shoot more, and then use (I can't remember the name >.<) That one ability that stops all cool downs, and use shield boost again. Rinse and repeat as necessary

More than likely, you'll get this on your first playthrough. Just use cover and let your squadmates do a lot of the fighting. Also, put shield bonus upgrades on your armor, make sure you always use the best armor and later add hp regeneration when you get armor with two slots.

Simply complete the game with YOU having more shield damage than health damage. Take cover often. This is easiest with a soldier class since they can wear heavy armor. Get a good armor with 4 bars of shield early and this will be simple. Also try to get it on your first play as you will take more damage during your Hardcore/Insane runs.
