Uncommon Uncommon Gold Solos

Turian Soldier with Cyclone Assault Rifle

The Turian Soldier brought his dual Cyclone Assault Rifles in his battle against the Kett on Firebase Icebreaker.

Objectives: Devices / Retrieval



Build: goo.gl/BthjyK

* Fortify: 4A 5B 6B
* Turbocharge: 4B 5A 6B
* Frag Grenade: 1 point
* Munitions Training: 4A 5B 6A
* Combat Fitness: 4A 5B 6A
* Cyclone Siphon X
* Cyclone Concussive X
* Assault Rifle Amp
* Assault Rifle Amp III
* Universal Power Amp IV

This was my second attempt; my first was on Firebase Zero that featured a Wave 2 Upload and a Wave 6 Hack. The enemies kept rushing into the circle, and I ran out of time on Wave 6. The second match was much smoother due to easier objectives. The Cyclone is probably the best Uncommon weapon, and it was featured in Pota Pota’s Platinum Solo with the Turian Havoc Trooper.

Since I was stationary most of the time, I probably should have specced into Fortify 6A Unmoving Defense and Combat Fitness 5A Defensive Positioning for an extra 100DR and 100% shield regeneration delay reduction while in cover. The Cyclone Siphon ensured that I always was near or at maximum health when I was tanking a position.

Asari Sentinel with Disciple Shotgun

The Asari Sentinel and her Disciple Shotgun faced off against Outlaws on Firebase Magma. This was the best match of the four, as it featured two tough objectives in Boss and Upload.

I started the match off in my newly found hidey hole on the left side of the match. After that, I started circling the map. As I’ve stated before, among the two Sentinels, I prefer the Asari over the Human because of her mobility, damage resistance when evading, and Backlash. The Disciple worked out pretty well, and I liked it better than the Ruzad.

The Wave 6 Upload was a tough one, but it became easier once I got rid of the Hydra and two Berserkers (who won’t respawn). Throw was used to push the Adhis away from the circles.

When building my manifest, I found Ruzard incredibly good, it's a LOT better than the Katana, but once you get Scattershot (or a high level Disciple), the refire and reload speed just makes it bad by comparison. I never really bothered with the Widow in MEAMP, as I got the Isharay pretty early, and that was a lot faster to use (though I loved the Widow in ME3MP). As to the Sentinels, if the powers were on the same buttons, I'd agree that the Asari is better, but I struggle a lot with her due to the bindings. And with the Cyclone, I recently went through all of the ARs and honestly believe that it's better than the Soned (but I don't have any Soned variants yet, so my view may be skewed), I find it handles a lot better, making it a better choice overall. Uncommons are pretty good (compared to the URs), but some of the best guns are Rare, URs tend to be favouring a more gimmicky approach, or are "balanced" by glaring flaws. If it wasn't for the Tempest in ME3MP, I'd argue that Andromeda has better Uncommons.

Scattershot. Siphon or not, it's the best damned shotgun in the game.

Watching the krogan vanguard video makes me think I probably speced mine wrong on top of just being massively worse.

I went
* Charge: 4A 5A 6A
* Fortify: 4A 5B 6B
* Nova: 4B 5A 6A
* APEX Training: 1 point
* Rage: 4B 5B 6A
