Yes, I know it's cheesy, but we're talking Condor, so I felt the need to go OP. And yes, muahmuah , I know it's the wrong character, loadout and difficulty, but a man has to have some fun from time to time, right? Died once on W6 and once on W10, stupidly, because too confident; should have been 10WS.
And it's a turian on Palaven...

Phantrolls, W7 and W9. Scrub here, remember? And it wasn't AIU/Reegar, like our friend the KoP...

I'd like to remind you, my good gentlemen, that this kit was suggested to me. So please remember that before you call me pug or something similar Also I don't know the user called "PUGashii". But I think he's a really nice fellow and incredible player

PS. For my 4th and last platinum solo ever (against Collectors), I'm gonna use Dark Lord as well! Unless you have a good suggestion which character I can use for this.

A small reminder - you can choose from 3 classes: Engineer, Adept and Sentinel. Those are left.

Oh, and I can't remember when the last time I used TGI, especially with Harrier. If I use TGI, it's only with Mattock. Batarian Brawler/AIU on the other hand....

Maybe, but with the exception of -yuck- Dagger Hazzard - - I find Condor on platinum to be very "ammo unfriendly", especially with a gun like the Carrier. With the lolcolyte, phantrolls are down in 3 shots. 

With harrier you can kill phantrolls much faster.I tested it just for science's sake.Lolcolyte shots too slow and you need time to switch between the weapons.

A Geth Trooper, if adequately set up, can, I believe, dispatch a Phantom's shields with one shot and then proceed to flamer her (and anything else that happens to be in the vicinity) to death pretty rapidly. Mind you -- if you're blessed with the prerequisite aim for it -- I agree that a Harrier, especially when served with Overload on the side, makes short work of the flippy sods.

I wanted to play Platinum with a full group, but no one was joining. So I thought "what the hell" and just decided to go solo for the first time.

I have played platinum before and had to solo a few rounds because my team went down. But solo? Jeeeez is it annoying as hell.

I was playing the Fury and made it to wave 7 before I ran out of steam. All things considered, I think it was a decent first attempt. But I had no idea how tough/annoying this mode would be. I can see why Geth Scanner is a must (was using Adaptive War Amp). Its weird, I imagined certain enemies like Phantoms or Collector enemies would be the toughest.

But the enemies that really gave me trouble were Dragoons, Engineers, and the friggin' Geth. The Geth feel so easy on Gold, but on Platinum... they are another beast entirely. The Primes alone are such a nightmare at times.

Either way, I'm going to work on Platinum solo. I want to complete it with The Fury since she was my first gold completion also.

A thing I did last week by request that involved a lot of ragequitting because I kept dying in wave 1 and flipping my shit for some reason

Which is weird because I am usually so calm, sane and incapable of rage while I play this game

Its also a lot more annoying when you have a full team but everyone on the team sucks. I will never understand why people who are woefully unprepared for Platinum stay in the lobby and they literally help nothing. They aren't even a decent distraction. A day after I tried the solo Fury run, I decided to do one with the Shadow with a full lobby. I had to solo wave 6-10. I also had to do the last objective myself. But had like Pyros, Banshees and Primes after me. I accidentally Shadow Striked a Banshee (when I was trying to hit the Pyro) and got gutted. 

But I do love the Shadow's overall utility. And I think Dragoons are tough simply because they don't give a damn about anything and they keep advancing. I know their attacks are predictable, but they do so much damage at any range and can ignore stun most of the time. At least Phantoms will take cover. And when they do, they are done. I still kill Dragoons fairly easily, but sometimes they can be annoying. I'm more of a random/random kind of guy, but I'll take your advice into consideration. I never realized how much tougher the Geth are on Platinum. I actually dread when I hear the Prime's pulse cannons going off now. But I think I'll try either a combination of Reapers or Cerberus. Thanks. 

Venom is my go to weapon for her on Plat, especially if I'm searching U/U/P. Venom isn't too heavy, like 120% cool down or so. If you're camping the only cool down you really need is Throw and that's a really short cool down to begin with. Venom staggers everything, and ignores Phantom DR, which is awesome because you charge shot a group and while they're staggered hit them with a Throw BE. Dragoon and Phantom rush is pretty manageable since they're always coming into AF priming range. I'd really only use DC as a cast and forget on something like a Banshee or distant Phantom, also good against Atlases at the end of waves. Only issues she has are objective (see devices) waves and shields, but you coumd always go with Phasic rounds.

As gentlemen above me mentioned Venom is a light shotgun and it eats everything except the bosses for breakfast.Fastest run with fury on PHoF is with venom.I will quote TNS for 36263633 time-"Venom is love,Venom is life. That weapon fits on every character in the game.Powerful and light.As for the goons, just keep fire on them and watch your back.If you run they will gang bang you.
