Themed Challenges and Hall of Fame

I got 20HS with Revvay by wave 5

Seriously... I appreciate our difference of opinion here, but Katana is not a good gun to me. You and muahmuah can have it

The best lesson learned from Revvay and Rio Reapers - stop kiting so damned far, turn and fight as often as possible, there is a corner of win somewhere near you at all times.

Basically, that stupid solo was an immense git-gudder.

Edit: I also used GC and Cyclonic. I tried Power Amp and was too flimsy. Bleed Evolution made a big difference after I respecc'd.

Pfefferi was fast. I had a couple runs that were much more similar to theirs, but ultimately I haven't got gud enuf to play on the edge of death that much and deal damage accurately at the same time. Not for the entire match, at least.






N3.2

You kidding? Ofc Al!

No Throw and No Hazard still a (Biotic) Storm threw the Collectors off FB White:

Not sure if necessary, still an ingame screenshot showing the lack of Throw:


First thing to get it out of the way: Asari Adept without Throw? Why?... Wait. Warp + Reave = BE! I see: Teamwork! That's why!
With that out of the way we had a decent plan to approach this challenge. Still AA without Throw feels only half complete, but the game was great anyway!

don't forget to post your Tier 1 submissions   edit:  nevermind. it only now occured to me now you may not want to submit screenies and be still waiting for the uploads to complete editedit: ima still lost for words seeing you run dearest Valkyrie without TA. you quite clearly make it work, but... yeah. as if thousands of Eclipse Comando voices suddenly cried out in disbelief something something or rather

If you've got ideas, go for it! As long as you don't make it super difficult/unattractive, I'm sure folks will be glad to try out something new. Personally, I've always liked the N7 kits, though not all of them are plat-solo material for us average players. But hey, there's always gold, and duos and trios.

Seriously, do it.

N3.III Awaking the Eye of Wrath
33:54 - SenorZanahoria (280 858 pts) [v] 10WS

Escort/Targets/Escort

I did N3 in reverse order, because Sonashii kept pushing me to attempt Awaking the Eye of Wrath and because I wanted Chooser of the Slain as relaxation after the other two that didn't seem too easy to me.
I had a couple of attempts on N3.III with a somewhat weird build that I don't quite remember. But I only put 3 points in fitness and after failing a couple of times, I changed to something that Sonashii suggested (I think). Full fitness, and only 5 points in Warp and I also changed from AP ammo to Incendiary Ammo... That did the trick apparently and I got out with a 10WS, which I never would've expected. I was lucky on two occasions by escaping Phantom sync kills with OPS-packs, one of those was after the objective on wave 10. On wave 3, at the beginning of the escort, I warped a Dragoon and a few seconds later I set of an explosion. Another few seconds later that Dragoon returns with exactly the same amount of armor. For targets on wave 6 I nuked the first one, so they would change from phantoms (which I wouldn't have managed to kill in time I guess) to Dragoons. Coming into wave 8 with all OPS-packs and Gels made me quite happy

Later that day, still powered up by beating N3.III, I gave Hold the Line a shot. I had some excellent spawns (especially on wave 2, might upload that at some point), and failed in the end with 30 seconds to extraction at the time of 26:45 I gave it a few more attempts, but wasn't in the mood anymore, so left it aside, not for long though. The next day, after I used up all my Cyclonics IV, I went out there with Cyclonics III. The first few waves started with good spawns, but then Geth kept sneaking up on me. So it took me from wave 4 to 6 I think to get 3WS. Got lucky with the objectives and finished a lot quicker than I thought.

And then, later that day, I moved on to Chooser of the Slain. I quit two runs on wave 1 I think, first because I ran so stupidly in a spawn that I dropped without doing anything to the enemies and then because I ran around so stupidly that I got downed towards the end of wave 1. Giant/Reapers... something's wrong with me when playing there. Nonetheless, I gave it another try and that went much better (better than a wave 1 fail wasn't hard to be fair ). It could've easily been ruined on wave 10 when I tried to take out one of the targets and ran into a group of 2 Brutes and 2 Banshees. It was my lucky day I guess and I wasn't grabbed nor killed.

So far, this has been more enjoyable than I thought. I expected more frustration, but that which is not, may yet be. Anyways, I need some time away from this and get new supplies of Cyclonics IV.

ah, fuck. thanks for reminding me I have this one to look at before long. congrats on the N4 completion, bud. well done. yeah I got 4.3. wrong, though it was Cabal on Goddess N5.3. 4.3 is indeed quite fun, would have been better if it was Valkyrie though. 5.1 and 5.2. are fun, you gonna enjoy them! go for 10ws and 50 melee kills with the Batarian *on my redo list, quite enjoyable challenge*, and may I suggest explosive ammo for 5.2

I focused on Executioner, BPPP was for Atli shields whittling really. I kinda found EA... well, works with that pistol. esp vs Carebears. you get a free stagger to hide your reload or cast powers, and it's just fun to watch dragoons phantoms expiring with that quite "p-boom"
