Yes, PPR, you start shooting and when the ramp is up you TC to get the bonus without stopping the fire... very effective...

Of course the Huntress's idiosyncratic version of Tactical Cloak does not boost weapon damage so that ^ doesn't really apply to her.

Saber Huntress is fun, but Claymore plus warp rounds destroy reapers. If you want to cheese it, i suggest using reegar inc 4.

[Teabaggin Krogan]

 Oh, and switch to a quarian.

Much as I like jiggly quarian bum bums,it's blue booty FTW here   , besides I can't really bear to hear them talk about "soup" for 10 waves

Medigel transmitter is an interesting choice,I might just use that with some lvl 3 explosive ammo next time 

Also thanks for the vid Phoenix I'll check it out

 

Edit; Hey kittenpuncher I didn't know you were on bsn,its me the bunny if you didn't know!

I have tried cheesing with her, but it never seemed to really make a difference, but that was probably because it was a team game... I have never completed a Platinum Solo with her, 'cause the Wave 10 objectives were too painful on Giant for her to live through. 

 

However, I do run a 6/6/6/5/3 build for her with the Harrier, but I don't advise that you use the Harrier. Use whatever gun you are comfortable with and use Warp or Incendiary depending on how you're going to play the solo.

Well I'm pretty comfy with the harrier even though it's lvl 1 but as for warp or incendiary,I know both are great but which is better overall?  fire explosions or warped biotics?

You're not really doing too many FEs if you're using incendiary rounds, 'cause you will be using it for cheesing. There will be FEs whenever you want to perform one, but FEs aren't much for crowd control whereas BEs are. BEs are easier to perform simultaneously, whereas FEs have to wait a bit before incendiary rounds can prime again. Warp Rounds help with dealing more damage against Armor and Barriers, but it is much more effective when the target is primed with a biotic power which the Huntress has.

 

The rounds you take will be entirely up to how you'll play the solo. My first gold solo with her was with the Harrier using Warp rounds III, but I did it out of boredom...

Cato, the 4b should, right?

[Teabaggin Krogan]

Cato, the 4b should, right?

No I don't think it does as the bonus damage of Tc only applies to power damage for the huntress and not weapon damage,so the PPR bonus wouldn't work here although it is a good choice of weapon overall

[anddill]

Yep, no weapons bonuses for her TC. Thats why i run her with a pistol and play her like an Adept. The PaladinX is light and powerful. I use cloak to drop aggro from mooks, that gives the time I need to line up a headshot. Bosses get the TC-DC-Warp threatment. Or just Warp and some shots from the Paladin.

But I never soloed with her. 

 

 

Oh, I never soloed with everything.

[crashsuit]

I've never soloed with the Huntress, but I use the Crusader on her every time. It's great against mooks, and the innate penetration (plus the heavy piercing barrel) let it double hit most if not all of the bosses. It hits hard enough that I often forget it's not benefiting from her cloak. I put warp rounds on it to do even more damage to primed enemies, and I use the Geth scanner for wallhax. If I wasn't on PC, though, and didn't have the Crusader delay patched, I probably wouldn't use it. I've tried stuff like the Arc Pistol and Talon on her but I always come back to the Crusader.

[Teabaggin Krogan]

Well I've not really used the crusader all that much but I do love the Claaymoar! 

As for pistols I'm just too lazy to use a semi auto weapon on gold.I might try the collector sniper though coz I like the high dps beam mechanism although my previous attempts with it were somewhat of a fail

[cato potato]

Cato, the 4b should, right?

No, the Huntress was released with a bugged version of Cloak that doesn't increase weapon damage at all. That's why, in a balance change, Bioware massively increased the amount her TC boosts power damage and melee instead.

I still quite like the PPR on her though.

[xelander]

Since you don't have the Talon and the Crusader, I'd suggest the Kishock, like this.

 

Use a set-it-and-forget-it TC + DC for the big targets like Brutes and Banshees, and Warp + headshot for all the rest. Warp staggers mooks and adds bonus damage from your warp ammo, Kishock staggers most of the time as well, you can shoot it unscoped with no penalty, it has fast reload to boot. The rest is map/enemy awareness and smart movement.

 

Or, you know, Claymore.

[Teabaggin Krogan]

Yeah the Kishok is a good option I guess but i don't have a lot of practise with it,also I don't wanna neglect fitness out right as I don't have a cyclonic 4 and her low health gives me a very narrow margin of error

In my playstyle I try and pull off as many BE's as I can with a high dps weapon use in between.

Oh and I do have the crusader,only I haven't used it a lot

[T-Raks]

You might want to check this thread out for additional help: http://forum.bioware...s#entry17533593

 

IMO one of the best characters to solo with because it's a biotic infiltrator! I mean, what's not to like about it? Tactical cloak and explosions! Put the geth scanner on, use warp ammo and a cyclonic mod if you have some to spare, the acolyte as secondary weapon to strip shields and barriers quickly and you are good to go.

 

If you don't have a cyclonic mod, the power amp is a great choice. Use tactical cloak not only to boost your power damage, but also to get out of critical situations and to get safely from one side of the map to the other if need be.

[Teabaggin Krogan]

Hey thanks mate,I'd missed that thread.

[T-Raks]

You are welcome!

 

One reason I brought that thread up was because I made a long post in it I was too lazy to repeat here...

I always tough that only 6b was bugged...

 

Oh well...

 

I run her with the Wraith, but PPR is a good choice nonetheless. I'm trying the talon or the acolyte now... just to change it up...

[anddill]

I tried her with the Kishok. It was not good. Sniping with such a squishy kit is not easy. Tunnelvision got me like 3 times per wave.

[MPApr2012]

Looking at your manifest I'd suggest Claymoar, Piranha, or Graal for a solo with her. Don't forget she's a powerhouse so slap Power Amps to further that point... And some Incendiary (cheese but so what you're going for a first solo) or Warp ammo. For the opposing action, either Reapers or Collectors... If you feel masochistic, you can go Carebears but then bring GPS along for that stagger and autoaim he-heh... I also prefer her in a no-fitness config to gain that little bit of advantage on the weapon damage, with no Cyclonics the difference is just 125 between 500 and 625 anyway...

 

EDIT: for clarity

[Teabaggin Krogan]

The problem with a no fitness built is that with such low shields i get dropped if a cannibal so much as sneezes at me.This gives me a very low margin for error especially if some unit gets the jump on me.Besides I don't really care too much about increased weapon dmg as I have dark channel.

I haven't tried the Kishok with her yet but there's no hipfire penalty and even when I have to scope I usually try quickscoping

Well, if you do want to try and her make a little less squishy then 3 points in fitness alone won't help much since you end up with 625 shields in total therefore Cyclonics will be required too... But even then the spawn awareness, RHA, cover, and (TC) relocation are the Huntress's best protection... But if you're going the Cyclonics way you might consider swapping to a weapon that takes power mods (i see you have SMG and Pistol Amps although low-ish levels) to boost her power damage at least a little more.
 

Also seeing you're looking to solo with her wouldn't dismiss weapon damage evolution either - on this build for instance , using your available gear, it adds 152 to the Claymore's damage. The Dark Channel is great but you'd be better off working in orchestration with It - BEing for the Area Damage, or Warping/Shooting at the rest of the enemies while DC is busy eating through the Banshees or Ravagers... In solo there's no one else to help chew through the wave budgets so any bonus damage is good... Just my 2 cents

[Teabaggin Krogan]

Yeah you're right,thanks for the in depth review and build guide!

My spawn awareness is terrible and 625 shields is a bit low but that led me to really appreciate RHA and being able to chain BE's with her

Also while using this class the bosses were actually easy,even without any equipment and it was the mooks that were killing me (with some classy examples of me running into exploding grenades along the way), so I'll probably be going cyclonic next time.

[DaemionMoadrin]

I play the Huntress with a 6/6/6/6/0 build and a Talon (power/piercing). Power Amp IV, Warp Ammo IV, Pistol Amp III, Commando Package. Cloak, DC, shoot, then cloak and Warp. She's a bit squishy but you can drop aggro by cloaking and just have to dodge a lot. My favourite activity is running in circles around the fights and throwing powers into them, always keeping my distance. Don't let the enemies into melee range, back off and try to leave yourself a way out at all times.

 

For solo I'd change to a 6/6/6/5/3 build and to Hurricane & Acolyte or an Arc Pistol. With that you can keep moving after being hit by a warp ball or Ravager acid and that's really all the difference it makes. You won't last any longer once someone shoots you but solo you do not have the luxury to get into hardcover to wait out DoTs. Solo you need a weapon that can take down shields quickly... or you are confident enough that you can do so with BEs. Barriers are no issue at all. Your cloaked DC is strong enough to take down a banshee, you can basically DoT her and then run around the map killing mooks with Warp & weapon until she drops dead.

Another idea would be to use the Adas, because of its staggering potential. You'd give up headshots in exchange though. Phantoms are very easy to kill with it though. Anyway, I would only use light weapons because your damage comes from your powers. Fast BEs are more effective than trying to be a weapon platform - and with Harrier or PPR that's what you would be.
