Shepard keeps dying in Destroy ending

[Warlock]

In all playthroughs I have high EMS (above 4000) and last time I have 6700 but even then Shepard dies in the destroy ending, I don't really know why.

My War asset was 8183 , and Shepard Lives. So I think it's confirmed that 8000 will give you, also according to Wiki in LE the requirement is 7800. The decisions of previous games also matters here in Legendary Edition .

Nah. I got the best ending with 7450.

As others said, the Wiki for LE says 7800. But, every time I got it, I had over 8000, so I can confirm that having over 8000 will give you the "perfect" destroy ending. 4000 was the original version which featured multiplayer to help boost the score. Honestly, the easiest way to know for sure is to make sure your war assets bar is filled completely.

By the way, make sure you do all the paragon/renegade options with the Illusive Man so that you have more options for dialogue at the final mission. There are three prior to returning to Earth that must be chosen to unlock the final paragon/renegade choices. It doesn't matter if you mix or match them, just make sure to choose the left option (i.e. investigate) to unlock them during your convos on Mars, Thessia, and his base.

1.) Legendary Edition uses Total Military Strength (TMS), not Effective Military Strength (EMS). The difference is that it no longer factors in the "Galactic Readiness" multiplayer element which usually halved your score if you didn't ever play multiplayer. Just a general rule of thumb I'd say would be to double any listed EMS requirements to determine required TMS.
2.) I can confirm after a couple playthroughs that you need a minimum of 7800 TMS to get the "Shepard lives" ending, as described on the wiki.

Thanks for the responses guys. I appreciate the help. The ME wiki states you need plus 3800+, I think, to unlock ending and I usually get maxed Paragon or Renegade in game

the wiki says ~4000 for the original game (without extended cut). & 7800 for the Legendary Edition for "best" ending

Maybe I found wrong wiki. ME fandom wiki states that 3100+ unlocks secret ending with Extended Cut or LE.

Thats definitely false. 3100 was only for the old version of Mass Effect 3 with the 50% war asset reduction.

Yeah the mass effect fandom wiki

https://masseffect.fandom.com/wiki/War_Assets

It says for LE its 7800 for best ending

Which other wiki are you talking about?

"If EMS is 3100+ and the Destroy option is chosen, Shepard is seen barely alive, gasping for breath (if Anderson is shot by the Illusive Man, the player needs a higher EMS to see this short scene)"

in that section its divided by 2
"so for the purposes of this section "Effective Military Strength" (EMS) will be your total War Assets divided by two if you are playing Legendary Edition"

I must have missed that part by accident. Thanks for help everyone
