Finally, after a few tries, I completed my very first Platinum solo, with the sexy Valkyrie.
The W10 objective - pizza - was a wee bit dicey, because a few Atlases and Fantums decided to camp at the LZ, and on lolconsole it's not a very easy task, from the other end of the ****** map.
Also, I got Goon rushed at the first wave twice, but I was able to get 5WS after all.
Congrats! Took you long enough. 
Nice ! Very good time for a first plat solo.

I just recently started to try, I honestly didn't want to do it with the cheesiest combo ever, like GT+Acolyte, but with my favorite kit, and map.

This was my build, it's more of a team-oriented build, I just didn't feel like respeccing it. I probably would have gone movement speed on AF, and durability on TA.
I usually run this build on PUG Gold games, but I bring the Claymore or the Piranha, but since on Cerby/Platinum there are so many damn Goons and Phantoms, the Venom seemed like the more logical choice (I won't disgrace the Valkyrie with the Acolyte). I may re-do this at another time against the Reapers with the Claymore.
Interesting build, I've never specced for 4A and 5A in AF though, would give it a try some time. Also, congrats OP!

Lol, I think my first Plat solo took like close to 90 mins.
Thanks!

Congrats on a solid time for a first solo!
Nice ! Very good time for a first plat solo.
this!
and also, would never have guessed this was your FIRST plat solo Tivesz! have played with you and am not surprised you succeeded and in such great time to boot. Congratulations.
Congrats tivesz! Surprised you didn't have one sooner tbh but hey, better late than never!
Lol, I think my first Plat solo took like close to 90 mins.
Probably the the reason I failed the first few tries, because I am very arrogant and aggressive, I don't back out even from sticky situations just to run around the map. That's how I usually got rekt. Now I kind of played it safe, I think I could have shaved off 3-5 minutes, if I hadn't left the hack circle and drop the pizza a few times to kite.
And to all: Thanks, I'm really not the big soloer, it just really bugged me that I hadn't done this, so I started trying maybe 2 weeks ago, and experiemented with loudouts, and spawns a little, till I got them right.
40 minutes on your 1st platinum solo....thats pretty f-word-ing good...congrats Tivesz.

Thankfully I didn't get targets for objectives, as I didn't have AC, and it can be painful to take down Atlases, while you're being zapped by Bombers and sniped down by Ravagers and Phantoms. I kind of felt safer with the Geth Scanner. I could easily see going close to 30 minutes (or even sub-30) with AC on board, but on the other hand, that might reduce to challange just to nuke everything on sight.
Congrats and well done! Did you exhale after you saw the "Mission Accomplished" screen? That's how it was with my firsts.

I didn't exhale until after the mad dash to empty my bladder.

I actually almost gave up in the second wave, as I went down in the stupidest way possible - twice.
