I finally managed to finish my platinum solo with the collector on Giant Hazard (like the night time look and I can see cloaked enemies easier) with reapers. I was so excited that I completed it, I pressed A on the score screen and didn't take the screenshot. :pinched:<_< I used the particle rifle w/ULARM and clip extender, acolyte w/ULPM and power magnifier. Consumables and gear used was Warp rounds IV, AR rail amp III, Cyclonic IV, and Survivor loadout. I got the timestamp for the solo platinum challenge on my N7 HQ if you guys want to look. Link to my N7 HQ is in my sig. Just clicky on that awesome collector picture in my sig. :D I finally flipping did it. I'm really happy now. And before I forget to add,  SHE CAN FEEL THE BLOODY HATRED. Oh, and my collector is the shiniest meat bicycle. 

EDIT: Forgot to add that my objectives were targets (ugh, had a missile fail on the first target), hack circle (control room), and Escort (went from the bottom back right outside the control room all the way to the far back of extraction). The escort went pretty smoothly, had to spend only one rocket to get rid of a banshee pair that was coming in a little too fast. Had about three missles left for cleanup afterwards. I was so happy when I missiled those two primes. I was happy to the point where I was flipping them the bird because they're the ones who screwed me over last time I got to wave 10. When I started wave 10, I had 4 missiles and 1 gel. I would have had three if I didn't get effed over by the phantoms on wave 9. End time was around 75 minutes.

EDIT 2: If you don't get the reference, it's from Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem.

Congratz.

The time I would really attempt a Platinum solo and then somehow succeed is the time pigs will fly.

Congrats!

This was actually going to be one of my next Plats too(3 solos done. Going for 10 then quitting solos.) Same setup/kit, except Armored Compartments. Wish you had a video I could watch, but I'll figure it out. Any tips for that kit, OP?

Pretty much...

No lie, though, you should change the title, OP. "Wrath of the Ancients" just sounds like a badass title for an Awakened Collector Solo. Versus Rippaz, no less.

The way used him was as a very tanky Adept. With the swarms set for 4 swarms and the damage reduction, and pile on a cyclonic IV, he can eat two direct hits from banshee bolts before being thrown to shield gate. Your main source of stagger with him is the detonation of the dark sphere and the dark channel. I normally just cast the dark channel on banshees and phantoms among other things. If you like to leave the bigger enemies for last and just take out the mooks and other small fries, use the dark sphere a lot. Only waves I heavily used the acolyte was 7 and 9. Mainly because of the phantoms in conjuntion with the hunter, or the muraders. The Dark Sphere's detonation reliably staggers anything within the radius. 1500 N ftw! Another thing to be on the lookout for is hope you get decent objectives. One of my attempts I got ninja grabbed by a banshee at one of the devices. That made me less than happy needless to say.

Congrats. Just a question on the PPR, you didn't have any armor piercing? Does the warp ammo armor weakening part completely mitigate the need (and benefit) of it? I've always just assumed some form of piercing was essential on that weapon.

Essentially. Granted I can't fire through cover but even without the warp rounds, the PPR can still mailslot reliably anyway. I mainly use it for the bonus weapon damage and the bonus biotic damage. The piercing mod I really only use it to fire at enemies in cover. I've used the weapon enough to know how to fire the beam around corners. If I remember the armor weakening is the same as the armor ignore of the piercing. I could be wrong, someone feel free to correct if I'm wrong.

Yeah, it was the last part I was getting at. I thought the opposite, that piercing was still very important to damage, but could easily be wrong. It would be interesting if I was. Hopefully a "rules guru" can chip in.

I'm not going to lie. I clicked on the title expecting to say, "wrong game OP."

As I understand it, piercing and armor weaking both reduce armor damage mitigation and stack multiplicatively. 65% piercing is the same as 65% weakening. Though without any piercing you do miss out on double hits that you would otherwise get against certain enemies, including banshees, phantoms, and scions, as well as triple hits against Atlases.

i am not sure i thought weakening stacks with other "armor weakening powers" and gets applied before any "armor piercing rating" effects... Maybe PC guy can confirm?
