Good job, Bateman.

[Loufi]

Ok so it's finally done

Talon Merc

Bateman1980 I Jan 17 2016 I 40:45 I White I Cerberus I Venom & Hurricane I 10 WS

This means that I now have done all Human Defectors, Renegades & Special forces, all Engineers and all kits in the game.

Pizza, Devices, Targets

Wave 10 targets again, but I had 3 nukes left and the last Atlas was taken down with lol Cain mine spam. Clean up took a very long time as I had no thermal clips and those doubble Banshees are annoying, but I was determined to finish with 10 WS.

Another positive thing is that I will never ever need to play the Merc again.

Come on Patrick, this post lacks some       ! It's time to celebrate !

 

 

 

 

On a more serious note, you're only the 9th Fleet Admiral, so big congrats. Will we have a 10th ?

I hope so, sure are more people around that can do it, but I understand that not all like the long grind.

Congrats Batman! You should work on your RL mastery challenge now  (or even better, start speedrunning)

This solo was not a speedrun. Phantoms were kind of tricky to put down, but with a stagger power they can be stalled easily. Heavy meelees are usually me giving the middle finger and using cusswords to vent some steam during the bullSh1t gameplay. Oh, and I'm using the weight bug, I just couldn't resist . So, here it is.

I guess that Patrick inspired me to redo a few solos. I got both at first try, so it was a good day for soloing.

 

Collector adept. I just wanted to test this guy with a power amp 4, instead of a cyclonic. I used a 65366 build (all power damage in the passives).

Devices, devices, hack. Devices weren't too bad (2 minutes each). 

 

 

Turian sentinel. Someone here always says that turians are good, but are they really ?

 

loufi1528 I Jan 17 2016 I 42:18 I Giant I Cerberus I Arc pistol I 10 waves survived 

 

Pizzas, pizzas, hack. I'm a little displeased by the > 40 minutes time, but when I got the 5 waves survived medal, I decided to go for the 10 ws one and so played veeerrryyy carefully all the remaining waves.  

 

This turian is OK.

Hack > Hack > Devices (Thankfully, one banshee teleported to the upper level making it pretty straight forward)

 

Got a killstreak with a mix of venom, CG and BE which was nice. Also watching the stupid phantoms fly all over the place is always pleasing.

 

I've lost track of the number of attempts this took (to go sub-25) - doesn't matter though, Drell Adept solos are super fun. There wasn't a single run without targets or devices. Decided to go with power amp and armor damage on rank 6 of reave for this attempt.

thats pretty fast in my book, with no lolcolyte/venom/reegar and only a one shot weapon

i ll try to watch it as i never was able to do good with the HSol, i even kinda hated him cause stupid challenges

My head is too busy with other things. Like learning2P Starcraft 2 , but I think this is pointless . Otherwise ME3 server disconnections are keeping me off. D:

[ex-Clusum]

Well, no need to come back from retirement. ^^

But you still have the weapon's master to go and some duo sets left and a flawless plat solo to do, life would be so incomplete without.

[Supremocognito]

You may have linked the wrong photo....

 

It's still a fail as I didn't extract even though I got a 10 waves survived. 

Reapers and Cerberus map collections will be posted later as all my Reaper and Cerberus pics apparently did not upload like I originally thought.

Now solo all the maps vs all the factions!

How so...? To my experience HSol can deal with anything you throw at him. You can play him close quarters or Long-range, dealing with large groups of mooks or bosses. Anything. Also, this kit is truly unique and for the tremendous powerhouse it is, definitely wins the most underrated award.

 

Anyway, let me know what you think.

Think I'm going to pass on that challenge, it would be a lot more solos to do, if I do anymore it will only be with maximum cheese

Well, i m not good with him, and struggled on different challenges. U dont have much CC with him, or maybe i should pratice the nades to use them that way. maybe with practice i ll get more confident and then ...

Watched 4 waves i think, very nice gameplay, sure seems versatile and efficient in your hands. Only thing i m not sure u use well is the phantom bubble. With AP rounds and the bubble, u loose a very high portion of your damage, and some of your HS dont deal much. I guess u deal with them easy enough (nice use of the melee btw ), but, u could try drill to get the HS and the bubble hit. Maybe you changed the phantom DR ?
On the vid itself, the image is squished vertically. I thought Utube would allow me to change the aspect ratio, but no ... ?? Not very problematic anyway.

Say what?!

 

Frags, CS or any combination of either one plus tech ammo is plenty of CC.

 

Not to mention HSol has 40% DR and DoT cancellation with ARush.

 

Phantoms are tricky. When they bubble up, you need 2m penetration for double hits. That's either drill ammo (but you lose some general damage, Drill III < AP IV and also less armor piercing) or AP + piercing barrel (but you lose some general damage from armor mitigation). Personally I tend to play with Incendiary Claymore, so I prime the phantom and bounce a grenade or two off a nearby wall (or from the ground a short distance in front of her). That way she doesn't put a bubble up (so nades are not negated) and you get often a FE. If she's not done, shoot her in the head one more time and get back to drinking your coffee. Of course, you can also go balls to the wall and stagger her with heavy melee for a followup headshot (she takes full damage in stagger animation). Then again, if you miss, she'll probably do her stabbity-stab thing.

 I think the sentinel is perhaps even more underrated, cause of AA. Yet people forget what tankiness + power damage stacked build can do. Not to mention that  delivering the coup de grace with Tech Armor is just pure class. Or for that matter staggering with TA, for a headshot or Throw 1-2 combo. Or for priming with Warp for pesky phantrolls. Ah, Tech Armor....

F**K YEAH - two thumbs up for an epic solo. +1 for the musical vibes, +1 for no crutch weapon, +1 for taking a $h!t on the geth scanner in favor of mo' 'nades.  Keep 'em coming brah!!!

Dear X3lander, my thoughts exactly. I also did many runs, including Incendiary and Disruptor rounds, and they provided excellent results. About Phantoms, to this day I feel that the damage she receives is totally random. I was trying to either get her out of her DR, or Bubble her up to win me some precious seconds to escape. 

 

Maybe you changed the phantom DR?

I had done a fresh install of the game just to be sure. The ONLY thing I've changed is the armor's lights because I like the color blue. And now that I mention it, I failed hard, because I wanted a white armor theme to match Noveria's snowy weather. Black...What was I thinking?

I'm really sorry about this, I am not exactly familiar with that stuff. I'm recording at 720p with Afterburner to a 7200 Hdd and compressing the huge file later with VirtualDub. My pc is rather old and it could barely keep up with the framerate (which I was concerned the most).

It's a great video, I really like how you use the full mobility of this kit and extra style points for using the Claymore ofc! I've played a few games with you where you use this set-up so I already knew you are more than capable do get it done.

The heavy melee + head shot on that Phantom was epic

Phantoms have 4 states:

 

Regular: anything goes, but from this they can be triggered to transition into bubble or flip.

Staggered: short time window but takes normal damage, as you yourself so aptly demonstrate in the video.

Flip evade animation (and a fraction of a second thereafter perhaps): DR. Triggered by projectile powers or rapid shooting at them. Vulnerable to projectile power if timed right, e.g. Sentinel shoots at her with Eagle, she starts flipping and Sentinel times a warp to hit her mid-air or right thereafter. Now she's primed and ready for TA stagger + Throw detonation. Vulnerable to powers, but DR still applies, so I'd rather wait till she lands if I am using a hitscan power (e.g. Engie with Hornet triggers flip, primes her with Incinerate in the air and waits for her to not be in flip or bubble up to detonate with Overload).

Palm of denial/Bubble up: On-host DR. Invulnerable to powers. Triggered by projectile powers. Distance seem to be a factor, up close she'd prefer flip most of the time, far away is the other case. Vulnerable to stacked penetration through ammo and piercing mods; it needs to be more than 2m. Need to wait it out for powers/nades to work or use a rapid fire weapon to trigger flips again.

 

They have 3 offensive modes:

Palm Blaster: 4 shots with 990 damage each on Gold and 1000 smth on Plat.

Melee (regular): 3 slashes (ignores shield-gate from slash to slash)

Melee (sync): Triggered after flipping or executing melee or receiving melee. Well-timed ops pack is the only save, which means it mostly works on host and mostly not off.

 

They also have a special bullsh!t mode where they don't pause between following up one mode with another or the same (e.g. 8 pew-pew or melee regular followed immediately by melee sync with seamless transition or even part of the first animation skipped). Because Derperus are cheating cheaters. Who cheat.

 

 

As for the Claymore, I tend to mostly use it with Incendiary, cause of the added FEs and because each pellet has its own fire DoT and it stacks.

 

 

Also, try this for armor: Primary - Black, Highlight - White, Secondary - Blue (the one next to Red), Pattern - None, Lights - Blue (same hue as the other).

It reminds me of a TV series I saw as a kid but now can't remember the name of. It was set in the future with the good guys having cloth costumes which turned into some kind of power armor after they put them on. One was gold and blue or light silver and blue and it led me to the design above.

Well i havent frag in a month so i dont remember if the one cluster stagger well on a wide radius and if i control it well. Anyway, its no overload or arc nades. And maybe it s carrying the claymore only which made me wonder how i wld deal with those elite mooks rushes.
For CS, it s only one mook and not all of them, but if u combine TB or FE its clearly top CC.

FOr the video aspect ration mission_scrubbed, its really not a big deal
