What kits do people find to be the most efficient for the power based daily challenges? As a for instance I have been using a human soldier for combat mastery and it would usually take 4 or more matches to complete. I got bored of that and switched to the Krogan Merc and flak spam got me 99% of the way there after 2 matches. I assume characters that score a lot of support points with damaging powers are the way to go.

Batarian. Spam Flak and Concussive.

For Tech mastery, incinerate kits seem to be the best, since, (and I hope I have this right), incinerate does the most initial damage. Combat, I would think flak is best, but nade spam does a bunch of damage as well.

I've been using the Krogan Engineer for today's tech mastery but I'm thinking human engineer might get more points thanks to cryo beam support points.

Combat - Batarian or Havoc. Batarian has 2 combat powers though, and makes it easier but avoiding Snap Freeze is hard to do.
Tech - Krogan or Human Engineer. Human has Cryo Blast which is fantastic at hitting multiple enemies. Plus the turret gets you points while you're in a different area. Architect isn't too bad also, but the other engineers have better combo and crowd control powers.
Biotic - Pretty much any biotic character. Asari Adept, Human Adept, Vanguards...... just don't shoot.
Easiest way of getting 25-30K in 1 game is just running a solo bronze match. Shouldn't take more than 12 minutes, and you'll be right on the edge of finishing the challenge. Just 1 more gold game should do the trick.

Best kits for each challenge (IMO):
Tech: TAgent or KMerc w 6b flamethrower evolution. Get up to 45. Assist points per 100 point mook
Biotic: HAdept w lifting shockwave and singularity spam. Also up to 45 assist pts per 100 point mook
Combat: Anything w flak cannon. Aim for 10 or more cells and go wild blowing everything up.
Personally I wouldn't do tech or biotic daily in anything above gold as those builds are sub par on plat as they are designed to point whore.

I have come close to all 35,000 points on one Bronze solo by farming the longer objectives (Retrieval, Boss, Hack). But yeah, when not screwing around: 1 Bronze solo + 1 Gold normal game should do it.

For combat... I use human infiltrator and just sticky everything. If I do it right it`s usually done in 2 games.
...I never attempted to do tech one... because it feels forever to do it.

Random is random. In any set of random things you EXPECT to find weird bunches of the same thing over and over. If you NEVER see repeats and bunches it is not 'random', it is something else.
We are dealing with an incredibly small sample, still. There have been, what, 30 days of Daily Challenges? That's way too small to judge its 'randomness'.

Nobody knows for sure but based on comments Bioware has made, I've been assuming it is random.
ex. when the Tech Challenges were broken shortly after rollout, Billy stated that Combat and Biotic would likely also be broken "if/when they get rolled" (paraphrase despite the quote marks)
Source: well I can't source it since Billy deleted his reddit profile so you can take my word for it, or not.

This is basically the birthday problem but with fewer birthdays. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday_problemInstead of 366 different possible birthdays there are only 9 different maps: Aqua Derelict Icebreaker Magma Nimbus Paradox Sandstorm Vertigo Zero The formula is 1 - [(k - 1) / n] where n is the number of iterations or draws and k is the number of possibilities. I looked back and Daily Challenges were introduced on 8 June 2017 which was 54 days ago (not 30, how the time flies!). 1 - [(9-1) / 54] 1 - [8 / 54] 1 - [0.148148] 0.851852 Or roughly an 85% probably that we'll have repeats. I don't remember the formula for strings of repeats of length Z... you can probably find it on StackExchange or Wolfram or somehwere. |
