Commentary:
Probably not the most efficient build but I really wanted to not die. Power spam didn't really matter TOO much to me, I just wanted 6/6 Fire Explosion madness. I chose the Krogan Soldier because he was very tanky and could also put out more Anti-Armour AOE than the Kroguard or Turian Infiltrator, and the Batarian Soldier can't trigger Fire Explosions. Not only does he do high damage, but Infernos don't require you to stand out in the open a lot. With Cyclonic IV you can take two banshee bombs without breaking shields. I didn't really spam infernos too much until later on, early on I was pretty content with Reegar + Carnage Fire Explosion. I didn't use the Acolyte too much - one shot takes down a Marauder's Shields and lights him on fire, but the Carnage Fire explosion won't kill him, at least not with my specs. In retrospect, I would recommend the Talon as a better secondary.
Funny thing, I actually ran out of medigel in Wave 8 then got Husked and killed in Wave 9, but for some reason the game decided to throw me a bone and glitch revive a la the Firebase White doorway glitch. Unfortunately, I was still in the middle of a pack of hunters and I was furiously pounding on my last Ops Pack and screaming at my computer to "CMON USE THE F***ING OPS PACK YOU BIG PIECE OF DOGS***!". Some say soloing is just boring kiting, but imo the tedious intermission just makes the good and bad parts that much more exciting. I was shaking pretty bad on Wave 10, even moreso when I got the Circle of Death with no medigel or ops packs.
The first minute and a half of extraction feels like forever, but if you're trapped on the opposite side of the map the last 20 seconds go by really quickly.
Overall, it was pretty intense in the later waves and especially Wave 10, and I'll probably do it again vs another faction because I enjoy pain and suffering.
tl;dr If you're thinking about trying solo runs yourself, I would definitely recommend the Krogan Soldier as one of the top 5 for pretty much anything except Collectors. Claymore, Reegar, Talon or anything else that reliably applies incendiary is a good choice of weapon. Also, Reapers have no Dragoons, Bombers or Collectors, so yeah. And I think there's only Primes in Wave 4, 10 and 11.
Objectives:
