I want to try it, but I don't have enough free time on my hands these days, barring sundays. :/ And I don't want to waste the whole day trying to get one plat solo done, lol.

Someday, when I get home early, I'll attempt it.

Nice, good luck! To date, I have six attempts under my belt...so, it's not too bad if you got it in two or three attempts, given your vast experience with soloing.

But what I was really asking, is how would you approach the solo...aside from the gear choices. What would be your strategy, which way do you rotate, how do you counteract against the slow Scions, what waves to nuke, etc.

Why should you be nuts? It doesn't seem *that* bad to me... I mean it's no giant/reapers with a tgi, but geth/jade is faaaaar worse in my opinion.

Those are the ones I can think of... Oh, and. Outscoring feneckus. Does that count? XD

Hum... I agree in general but with the Quarksman I don't know. Sabotage could give him some breathing.

Depends. If he was a volus merc with Predator and you a Drellguard with Venom, no, it doesn't count !

He was a Quarksman, ironically. I was a Slasher. London/Collectors. I'll never forget that match But if you're asking if it was a meaningful outscoring... Nope, no way

And yeah, I agree with your first statement too.

But geth are wonderful and collectors are cheating assholes

FTFY

I've been planning on doing Condor/Reapers for my Cabal so you're alright compared to that

Surprisingly Condor isn't too bad actually. I think that you should not struggle too much with the Cabal. It has a high chance to be a lot longer than your last solos however.

Once my Venom is high enough, I will attempt a Drell Adept with Venom on Condor Platinum. I am in a dilemma on which faction is best to fight against. I'm afraid he'll get decimated by Geth since Biotics suck against shields.

Sounds very painful. Banshees will be your best friends on this map, so I would go with Reapers.

The two spawns that annoy me on Jade are the LZ spawn and the spawn in the upper labs. I try to stay in the 'upper labs' and 'pillar room' (locations here). Rotation would be anti-clockwise, starting from the upper labs/pillar room. Burning labs and lower labs are nice place to use RHA as well. Other than that, I don't hold any other location - it's too dangerous.

I single out crabs and scions, and the saber quarksman can stunlock them to death when under MM. They are some of the easiest bosses to stagger continuously.

Nuking:

1. 2 on wave 4, 1 each on waves 8 and 9, OR

2. 1 on wave 4, 2 on wave 8, 1 on wave 9, OR

3. 2 each on waves 4 and 8.

Targets on waves 3 and 6 can be done without missiles. 2 nukes for wave 10.
