Angara Exemplar Platinum Solo with Tech Combos Galore

If you like Tech Combos, this Platinum Solo with the Angara Exemplar is for you. Fortunately, I did not have to wrestle much with RNG-Objectives. I ended two matches on Wave 1 when I got downed (I prefer to go into Wave 2 with all my consumables). The third attempt had a Wave 2 Upload, so it was easy to end the mission and start again. This video is from my fourth attempt and was relatively stress free.

Objectives: Retrieval / Devices / Retrieval



Gameplay notes and build: goo.gl/jbSqeu

• Overload: 4B 5B 6B
• Barricade: 1 point
• Energy Drain: 4B 5A 6B
• Bioelectric Focus: 4B 5B 6B
• Bioelectric Defense: 4A 5B 6A
• Hurricane Siphon I
• Hurricane Concussive II
• Pistol Rail Amp III
• Disruptor Ammo III
• Expert Package

For this match, I left the Rozerad and its variants on the Tempest and equipped the Exemplar with dual Hurricanes. They acquitted themselves well, although I still prefer the Rozerad for its clip size and accuracy over the Hurricane.

What sets the Angara Exemplar apart from other characters is his ability to set off tech combo after tech combo. With Bioelectric Focus 6B Detonation Feedback active, Overload and Energy Drain’s cooldowns became 4.3 and 4.2 seconds respectively. This synergized well with the fact that you can’t do another combo (on the same enemy) for 4 seconds. When Detonation Feedback was not active, their cooldowns were still a respectable 5.9 and 5.2 seconds each. Do note that I equipped the Expert Package and have my Power Recharge Bonus Stat at 10 for an extra 25% bonus.

I left Barricade at just one point since I was moving around so much. In hindsight, I could have used it more often during the match. Placing one between between me and the enemy behind Building 37, for instance, could have resulted in an extra round of Tech Combos since the enemies would have spent a few seconds navigating around the barricade.

For survivability, the Exemplar had four things going for him. Bioelectric Defense 4A Evasion gave him a 15% movement speed bonus. It also provided 65 Damage Resistance when evading. This stacked with 6A Bioelectric Ward for 140 DR. I did have to be mindful of Bioelectric Ward’s 15 second cooldown and the fact that it lasted for just 5 seconds. Energy Drain was specced to restore my shields to 97.5% and provided an additional 40% shield restore over 5.2 seconds. It’s not as good as Shield Boost on the Salarian Operator, Angara Insurgent, or Human Guardian, but it came in handy in a few spots.
