    To earn this achievement you have to go through a few steps.
    - First, you must reach level 6 to have attained the specific amount of skill points needed (20 skill points).
    - Second, you must use 9 skill points in both the "Tech" and "Biotic" skill tree to unlock the needed skills.
    - Finally, purchase the "Charge" skill from the Biotic Tree and the "Tactical Cloak" from the Tech Tree.

    Now that you have these, find an enemy and go invisible with the Tactical Cloak skill then use the Charge skill to kill that enemy. Doing this on Narrative or Casual will cause an instakill making this easier.

    If you misplace your skill points you can always reallocate them in the tempest med-bay.

    Stevo6483+1 for not having to kill your target for the achievement to count.

    Also you can unlock this even quicker if you pick the Scrapper or Operative combat training options during character creation as shown in the guide by JechtShotMark3. Those options will grant you access to Charge (Biotic tree) or Tactical Cloak (Tech tree) respectively as soon as you start the game, so you'll only need to be around level 4 to earn 11 skill points to get the achievement - 1 point to spend on whichever skill you start with, 9 to invest in the other skill tree to unlock the remaining skill, then 1 spend on that.

    Once you buy the skills charge, under the biotic tree, and tactical cloak, under the tech tree, you simply just need to find some enemies and go invisible and then get somewhat close and use charge. You don't have to kill the enemy, just simply hit them. The video is me showing you what it should look like and where in the skill trees to find both abilities. Happy hunting!

    I did save before I did this to keep my points, I thought i needed to spend tons of these points. I just bought only the first one on Charge, (I put it on LB). Secondly, I bought only the one on tactical cloak. (I put that one on RB). I was on Kadara, went over to one spot with people and cloaked, then charged, got it without killing them. This is with version 1.10 update as on August 8, 2017. Real easy. I thought I was supposed to kill them, I guess not, or I am lucky.
