The Human Artificer and her Remnant VI team up to conquer Platinum in this solo against the Kett on Firebase Sandstorm. This turned out to be a fast (for me), sub-40 minute solo.
Originally, I was going to do a Human Kineticist run, but I ran into the bug during several attempts where the game would not let me get into Biotic Ascension mode no matter how many enemies I dispatched. I did get to Wave 5 playing her gimped like this, so people should know it’s possible even without Ascension Mode. So I switched up to one of the remaining four characters (Krogan Engineer, Krogan Vanguard, and Human Vanguard being the other three) that have yet to have a Platinum Solo video posted, the Human Artificer.
Objectives: Retrieval, Devices, Devices

A fully specced out Remnant VI functioned admirably as a second teammate during the match; it drew tons of attention from enemies and periodically detonated cryo and tech combos. This match went extremely quickly (39:48) by my slow and deliberate standards. I think this was in large part due to the Remnant VI harassing enemies so I could take them down without having to retreat so often. I know a lot of people just put one point in Remnant VI on Platinum, but I think it’s worth going all the way to Rank 6.
I only put one point in Invasion because its duration would run out by the time I completed a repositioning circuit around the map. So, I used it like Tactical Scan from ME3MP against a single target. When cast on a target already affected by Cryo Beam (and consequently Elemental Tech), I got a tremendous boost in weapon damage output.
Defense Drone’s shield replenishment and the 4A Shield Regeneration meant my shields would begin recharging after 5.47 seconds and have a mini-boost every 7.7 seconds. The electric stun from the drone especially saved my bacon while disabling the third device on Wave 6. I had already been stunned by a Berserker’s Flak Cannon when I restarted disabling the device. Now surrounded by that same Berserker and Anointed with a Behemoth approaching, the drone attack triggered, stunning the enemies long enough for me to disable the device and escape!
As with my Asari Duelist run, I had a great many failures with Wave 4 and 6 Hacks and Uploads before this successful extraction. Originally, I went with Defense Drone 4A Shield Regeneration since I was pairing it with the Multicapacitor in order to get my shields back online in ~3 seconds. I also equipped the Rozerad Concussive. Near the end, I had a string of Boss objectives where I ran out of consumables in my attempts to take out the Behemoth in the time allotted. So, on this run, I brought along the Piranha Siphon instead. The changes ultimately didn’t matter. With any Platinum Solo, what’s matters the most are the objectives in Waves 2, 4, and 6.
Please enjoy!
