Krogan Vanguard/Geth/Glacier

Headshots because you already have 1000N force for your Biotic Charge with this build.

Power Recharge (Barrier) and Damage & Capacity (Passives) because you need good recharge speed on your charge.

Thermal Clip Storage because Reegar has little ammo reserves and you don't want to increase the weight of your gun (I mean High Velocity Barrel + Spare Thermal Clip).

I did it before I knew of the kroguard. I went pure sniper, Giant, Geth with Geth infiltrator and the M98 widow. Took me a long time, but I got them on my second and third try.

[asdpoiu]

I don't have it because soloing is boring. Got my first gold solo at the first attempt, probably never playing that **** again.

[msantos]

Did it last November with a Justicar and then a Huntress. I must admit that rocking a huntress in the followup solos was far easier. In my earlier attempts, It took me handful of tries to clear past wave 10 but since then things got boring really fast since the element of challenge and uncertainty was gone forever. This is something I did not expect as soon after I didn't even care who I pugged with. I can say that from that point on ME3 MP almost died for me

[ClydeInTheShell]

No. Thanks for asking.

[Shamurai One]

It's killing me that everyone is saying this is "sooo easy..." I must monumentally suck if that's the case but I'm just not sure how I will get that much better. I don't have my UR's to lvl 10 (heck most are at II or III) I have most of my gears to lvl V, and IV amps... but still.. stuff kills me pretty quickly! I've watched the videos.. I've read the forums, I'm accumulating the kit.. over 900 games completed... and still soloing is NO WHERE near in my cards... yes with a Kroguard I've survived whole matches with a team of 4 and not get 'downed' (sometimes) but that's with 3 other guns.. I've even clutched the end of a wave 2-3 times... but how the bleep does one do ALL of it by themselves? I've read all the tips.. and still... Nope.. I have one LEGIT bronze solo.. and was just finishing the objectve on a wave 10 solo (bronze) when a phantom synced me... What must I do.. and LOL'zzz at the Platinum solos... I barely lasted 15 seconds into the first wave on Platinum last night (was on a Havoc with 7 stim packs)..

1: play vs Geth (no synch kills)

2: play more cautiously than you might normally - it's basically about controlling spawns and having patience

3: use an "easymode" build (KroGuard/Reager, TGI/Harrier or AIU/Reeger for instance)

4: use the best consumables you've got

I'm not that good and I've managed something like 6 waves of a platinum solo (using the Phoenix Adept ... someone put it up as a challenge on the BSN and I was bored enough to try it a few of times).

For myself, I will go against the popular recommendations that most push on this board.  Why?  I hate the Krogard and I dispise the cheapness of the geth.  Its that simple.

• I always solo with reapers because they are the most predictable and least annoying faction.  Geth?  Maybe in the older days before the massive stunlock and geth bombers came along.
• I always use power classes because when properly configured, they chew through the reaper faction pretty well.  Once you learn to take cover, it is quite easy to rock a powerful glass cannon even if you don't have the best weapons.  BTW, I fit a good shotgun on almost everything.  Wraith is my favorite followed by the crusader (with level III+ efficiency mods on).
• Absolutely learn to control the spawns.  Watch the youtube videos carefully and you'll see this is the single most important thing you can master.  After reliably nailing this one down, then almost any kit/class can do quite well.  
• Lastly be patient and take every loss as a lesson towards your innevitable success.

It shall be my LAST banner for BoTB probably... hoping to have higher
UR's.. but yeah. I've seen a good vid of a Salarian Engineer with Decoy
soloing Silver on White vs Geth.. that seems totally doable for the
bronze and silver solos.. but gold.. ~shudders~

Basically think of yourself as a fugitive or a train engine. Run -> Stop and shoot ->. Run. Make everything follows behind you. The things you killed may spawn in the direction you're running at but mostly those enemies are easier than the things that are following you (probably bosses).

Also for each enemy type in the wave, you should consider how dangerous is the enemy to you vs wave budget cost vs how easy is it to kill, then aim to kill the easy to kill but dangerous but expensive on wave budget. For my style, ravagers, abominations, pyros, engineers/atlases are easy targets. Other major targets due to their danger level for me, include marauders, rocket troopers, collector captains, dragoons

Also make sure you keep an eye on your shield bar. If its going down for no reason, run forward because a enemy is behind you shooting. If you see bullets/beams flying from behind you, check their color so you know what enemy it is.

Use your audio. A lot of enemies make a lot of sound. Use that to locate and identify.

If possible, stand on stairs when shooting something in relative safety (eg brutes without marauders) so you don't get surprised synced by incoming banshees. Stay away from walls when facing reapers.

Run diagonally. This reduces hits from trackers like RT rockets, prime pulses, ravagers, etc.

There are other things like aggro mechanics that are important in solos but you can discover those on your own. A big part of the fun in this game was learning how things work and solos do help in that

[K_O_513]

Nope. I was on extraction of my first Plat solo (that would've finished off my other Gold solo as well) then got stuck to a wall and subsequently grabbed by a Banshee with about 30 seconds left. After that I said "F it" and stopped caring about Lone Wolf.

Yeah, I have to agree. I did my Lone Wolf challenge with Kroguard/Geth first time around and never again. I choose Reapers now, because I simply don´t have nerves to spend one more solo against Geth. Granted, I got grabbed by Banshee on wave 10 multiple times , but still better then stunfest.

I would say patience is extremely important in solo. Being it when kiting enemies from objective or when circling the map. I usually go down, because I get impatient and rush into something I can´t handle.
Which leads me to the fact that circling the map, leading enemies in predictable pattern is also very important part.
Lastly, situational awarness. Just check your back every now and then.

Reegar Krogard on Geth/Glacier/Gold for the first one.
Talon Shaman on Geth/Giant/Gold for the second.
Hate soloing, so I probably won't do platinum and remain non-legit the rest of my life .

With Kroguard vs. Geth you cannot go wrong
as an alternative Brawlguard also Geth so you cannot be sync killed

narida.pytalhost.com/me3/classes/#Vanguard/BatarianBrawler/PRAPK/Acolyte10AG5BK5//StrengthEnhancer3/CyclonicModulator4/JuggernautShield5/

ammo power incendiary / disruptor / cryo (all good)
just shoot, biotic charge, falcon punch or just bc punch everything
replace acolyte with talon or shotgun if you wish but i'd leave the cooldown pretty high

From my limited experience (and as previuosly stated several times)
... just take it slow, on normal waves just remember that the mob(s) you kill will show up at one of the respawn points immediately after and might not follow you, when you are running circles.
...on objective waves only kill those mobs which prevent you from your objective. If you randomly kill mobs they might spawn at a less favorable place.
...as a map i prefer FB White and FB Giant

If you got that far on a first attempt then you could easily complete a platinum solo now.
I also got picked up by a banshee on my first successful plat solo, luckily a very helpful marauder decided to kill me quicker than the banshee could. One medigel, one ops pack, about 10 frantic dodges and a flat out sprint later and I got to the EZ.

I did two golds:
Asari Vanguard + paladin/Cerberus/white
Asari Valkrye+ arc pistol/Reapers/white

Recently I did:
AIU + crusader/Collector/Giant
Demolisher +Lolharrier + lordCrusader + lolnades/Cerberus/Ghost

I still can't accomplish the Plat solo Asari Adept vs reapers in white I tried a lot because banshees , but I will do it someday.

[Beerfish]

I got my lone wolf and botb at the same time. I those to the very end of objectives. Both games Kroguard, giant, reegar. My 1st attempt was much easier than my 2nd one. I almost choked in my 2nd game.

[UEG Donkey]

I only solo with vanguards; my host sucks and the slayer has always been my favorite character, so I've soloed with slayer, broguard (who is actually easier to solo with than the kroguard) and the good ole novatard.

[DaveT]

Yes, just finished my golds on Saturday. I used an AIU with a Claymore, Giant/Geth.

I failed my first try, then succeeded on my next two attempts. They were marathon sessions due to being very very cautious, but they were successful.

I'm not counting the Wave 8 disconnect I had on the second solo.
