Following on from my other post. I wanted to share my thoughts on what could be the least amount of matches required for Best of the Best.
TLDR: 430 by my count.
I've probably made mistakes in this. but here's a rough estimate. Going work it out under the assumption that you get lucky and unlock all weapons needed for challenges. Reducing the Alien categories. This is took way too long to do and the thought of googling this didn't occur to me until I was nearly done. Screw it, here it is.
Also should clarify that i'm calculating matches as I go along. So even though you need 15 matches for Condor and Hydra. I put 10 under resurgence (5+5) because I'm calculating as if we've already done map mastery. I think I did a poor job of clarifying some things. Hopefully you guys can call it out.
MAP MASTERY
For Map Mastery play 100 matches on 10 maps on platinum. 10 plats on 1 map will give you 4/40 in map mastery due to the stacking of difficulty challenges.
Need the following maps for extraction challenges: Hydra, Condor, Jade, Goddess, Rio, London, Vancouver.
10 Hydra
10 Condor
10 Jade
10 Goddess,
10 Rio
10 London
10 Vancouver
10 Same Chosen Map
10 Same Chosen Map
10 Same Chosen Map
------------------------
100 Matches for Map Mastery if only playing Platinum and don't fail mission.
Below are the Aliens stuff, assuming weapons are unlocked and prioritised.
EXTRACTION STUFF.
5 Hydra
5 Condor
5 Jade
5 Goddess,
5 Rio
5 London
5 Vancouver
--------------------
35 Matches for specific Extractions
Resurgence: 40 matches + 10 on Hydra/Condor. (Geth Infiltrator(M), Asari Justicar(C), Krogan Vanguard(BP), Batarian Soldier(BP))
Rebellion: 40 matches + 10 on Jade/Goddess. (Vorcha Soldier(BP), Pheonix Adept(O), Quarian Engineer(M), Quarian Infiltrator(M)) - NOTE: With Quarians both male and females count towards the extractions but they have individual wave challenges. So pick a gender and stick to it to reduce the machine mastery grind. Recommend Female Engineer for she has 3 challenges that can be completed on her.
Earth: 30 + 15 for Rio/London/Vancouver. (3 classes I'd recommend are Paladin (Snap Freeze/Cryo Blast challenges), Shadow (Electrical Slash/Shadow Strike/Melee Damage challenges) and Fury (Dark Channel, Throw, Annihilation challenges))
Retalliation: 30 matches. (Volus Engineer(O), Turian Ghost(C), Turian Havoc(C))
Reckoning: 30 matches (Awakened Collector(O), Talon Merc (O), Cabal (C))
Wave Completions.
If doing the extractions were successful you should have 100/200 with a bunch of characters. So now we gotta just clean up.
BLOODPACK: 3 challenges done from Graal, Carnage (Vorcha Soldier) and Ballistic Blades (Batarian Soldier). 3/9
30 matches for clean up with Batarian Soldier, Vorcha Soldier and Krogan Vanguard. 6/9
20 matches for Batarian Sentinel (or Vorcha Hunter) with Submission Net. Takes use to 8/9
20 matches with Krogan Warlord. Get Electrical and Biotic Hammer Challenges Complete. 9/9
COMMANDO: 4 Challenges done with Disciple, Phaeston, Scorpion and Revives as Council Race. 4/12
40 matches for clean up with Justicar, Turian Ghost, Turian Havoc and Cabal. (8/12)
20 Matches for Turian Soldier, using Proximity Mine for Challenge (10/12)
40 Matches for 2 more classes. I'd recommend Asari Vanguard (for Stasis Use and Charge use) and Turian Sentinel (Warp/Overload/Tech Armor use. And he's awesome) 12/12
MACHINE: 4 challenges done with Geth Pulse Rifle, Javeline, Arc Pistol and Geth Proximity Mine. 4/8
30 matches clean up Geth Infiltrator, Quarian Engineer and Quarian Infiltrator. 7/8
20 matches with Juggernaut. Easy money. 8/8
OUTSIDER: 3 challenges done with Raptor, Talon and Hornet. (3/7)
40 Matches to clean up with Phoenix Adept, Volus Engineer, Awakened Collector, Talon Merc (7/7)
THE MATH
40 Res
40 Reb
30 Earth
30 Retaliation
30 Reckoning
----------------------
170 Matches
THEN
70 Bloodpack
100 Commando
50 Machine
40 Outsider
-----------------------
260 Matches
*135 Matches (100 for Map Mastery, 35 for specific extractions), though i won't add this to the total as you can do these 135 alongside the character waves.
So in theory... Fastest you might be able to get to "Best of the Best" is 430. I didn't mention Solos because once you have Map Mastery you could double up and do 2 gold, 3 silver, 5 Bronze to Round it out at just 10 matches. (or 1 Plat, 1 gold, 3 silver for 5 matches).
Any takers?
