inc cheesing... I'm not familiar with this. How does inc cheese work?
 

 
wow big mistake from my side. This guy has Incinerate! Forgot about that. That's an improvement from what I thought.
The main difference between the build you suggested and mine is that I took damage on Incinerate and I only have Rank 3 on Fitness, which might present an issue on Gold.
 
But I can at least try with the build I have and see.

Warp/Inferno grenades/Flamer/Incinerate all interact with Incendiary ammo in a very hilarious manner. Not only does Incendiary ammo incorrectly stack with those powers, it also stacks on itself so the result being = high ROF weapons with Inc ammo leads to a broken amount of damage when it interacts with aforementioned powers.

Again, sorry for double posting.

 

The gameplay is still not completely clear to me. Energy Drain to strip shields (assuming that 1 usage will remove 100% of any non-Prime geth), with a cooldown of 4 seconds. Shoot that enemy in the meantime with Adas, then go for Incinerate. That means almost 9 seconds to kill one enemy, also assuming that 1 Incinerate will kill the guy.

With the kroguard, I go BC + HM and Hunter/Rocket is dead. That's 2 seconds. For Pyros/Bombers, add 1 or 2 seconds for headbutts.

So I'm still skeptical about this...

 

EDIT: thanks for the clarification on inc cheese. I don't mind that. Cheese is not cheating. Soloing gold is already difficult enough.

[Loufi]

^There's something wrong with your math. If you ED / shoot / Incinerate with a cooldwn of 4 seconds, then your enemy is dead in 4s, not in 9.

 

The salarian engineer with Adas is a good choice for a gold solo. Not only because of Energy Drain and Incinerate properties and complementarities, but also because Decoy makes Geth look totally stupid. It helps a lot to slown them down (so you're not surrounded) and to keep them busy while you complete the objectives.

[7twozero]

That's spike damage though, you can't ed shoot incinerate and turn right around and ed again.

[Mordokai]

No offense intended, but if the OP only wants a Lone Wolf banner, speed should be least of his worries. Yeah, the concentration drops the longer the match lasts. But with Adas SE, the game itself is pretty laid back and there's no pressure on the player. Sure, the kroguard may kill tincans faster, but he's also exposing himself much more, which despite all the sources of DR can lead to untimely death.

 

I think Adas SE against geth is a good combination precisely because you can take it slow. I mean, I'm sure there are players around here who can do it much faster than I did it(some 45 minutes), but as said, speed was never my concern. If OP wants that banner, I think learning to go slow can only benefit him.

[czeuch]

About all the SE replies. I tried twice and Adas is a great AR. Never used it before.
The SE is quite nice and can pack quite a punch but he's too squishy. Even with ED, sometimes it doesn't give me all my shields back.
I believe a respec for damage and capacity and power damage plus health fitness would improve his survivability. The weapon damage passive he gets are not very good so skipping shouldn't be a problem.

The main issue with the SE is that even is you keep running you will face so me toasters on your way and as the shields are low you can drop really fast.

[Sinful Force]

^ Adas is all wrong on him. His cooldown has to be fast enough to combo Incinerate > Energy > Fire explosion (combos stagger and deliver All of Em area damage). Though that combo only works again shields, barriers, and machine armour/health (like entire Geth faction, Atlas, Cerberus Turrets. Against Collectors and Reaper faction just spam Incinerate against armour and health since it stacks). But Energy Drain > Incinerate > Tech bursts works on everything (and I think the timing is more forgiving. But for the other combo I think at least 180 cooldown is needed? I forget).

 

Here was one of my fave SE build on max manifest. This one is without CSMG X which replaces Extended Mag for Power Amp, plus due to how little recoil Locust has that I also don't need stability mod. Why it was a fave setup of mine for Gold pugs; http://kalence.drupa...!34T54324!EBDB5

 

But you'll want to use a higher dps weapon if soloing. Not sure what you have. Plus make sure weapon recoil is good enough for you so you can aim easier.

 

6 points into Decoy is a must because that's what helps it draw enemy attention.

 

If not using cryo ammo, change evolution 6 of Incinerate.

 

For solo's Geth Scanner helps a lot. So use that instead.

[DarkOrgasm]

^

Any weapon with inced ammo can prime for FE's with ED, you dont have to combo with incinerate

 

There;s more than one way to skin a cat

[Sinful Force]

^ True dat. But combos won't be bigger and you can only detonate Incindiary Ammo once, unless you focus on another enemy to let the fire go out on the first. And the Combo will only be 6x1 combo dmg instead of 6x6, however, you can Incindiary glitch.

 

But that style is so different and one that works on just about any other kit. I'd rather go on one of the tankier & more stagger resistant original Krogans for Adas ammo priming gaming style. What I used to like using the Adas for before on maxed manifest. So really, up to OP what he wants use. I say Krogans work better against the stagger powers of Geth faction. But only one ammo type to use on both original Krogan with the ADAS. Incindiary. (Well, ok, Disrupter makes a lot of sense of KroSol too)

So it doesn't work for you, So let the man find out for himself. He seems to be getting the gist of game mechanics from all his posting, it's just a matter of him trying out different things to see what works with his playstyle, isn't it?

 

And what his manifest currently allows

[czeuch]

The fact is that I'm doing much better with the kroguard. The reason is because I played a Vanguard on ME2 and 3 Insanity SP, so I'm used to the class. I like face the enemies head on. On ME2 I dueled the Geth Colossus and crushed him with BC and Claymore.

Plus the krogan is quite fun. He says fun things like For Tchuchanka or They're Dead and so on. He also laugh when going into rage.

The mighty kroguard stood strong against the robot army. I used 4 gels, 1 survival, 1 ammon pack and 1 cobra.

I used cyclo 3, shotgun amp 3, inci 3 and geth scanner. Weapon was Reegar 3.

The damage from FEs with Inci 3 was huge and double primes were not and issue anymore.

Now I need on more to get my Lone Wolf banner \○/

Again thanks for all the precious tips that were vital to make me go through this solo.

[Sinful Force]

^ Let me know when you have the LoneWolf Banner so I don't accidentally kick you in pugs.

[czeuch]

Lol
I have Dog of War with 3200 challenge points. I don't think you'd kick me. I've seen people with more challenge points and no banners.

And also what criteria do you use to kick people in PUGs? If it's having the Lone Wolf banner then you're in trouble to get some games

[Sinful Force]

^ I actually my criteria is to look for the worst possible Gold pug lobbies or bail.

[DaemionMoadrin]

^ I actually my criteria is to look for the worst possible Gold pug lobbies or bail.

 

Is that why you played on my server?

[Sinful Force]

^ No, I make exceptions with BSNers. Plus having at least one other capable player helping with weak pug lobbies is always nice too.

Lone Wolf banner: check
The second time was a bit harder due to targets on w10. I ended up not kiting the target and ended up facing the last prime after missing the other 3 with other many hunters bombers pyros and rockets. And another prime.

There were more than 20 enemies. I spent everything I had left to make it through.

W11 was basically running around till 20 sec to take cover at LZ.

congrats op, kroguard reegar was sure the easier way. Did u had some kind of piercing in the end on your reegar ?

I think u miscounted foes, as they R at least 30 on w10 target

(i dont believe people werer realy advocating SE for a first struggling solo)

Tks. I didn't have any piercing but inci ammo was great due to amazing FEs.

There were more enemies but I don't think all of them were on me. However far too many were. I had to aim for the target in the middle of all those toasters. Barely made it.

The SE looks cool but it needs practice. I was much more used with the kroguard. We can't compare the survivability of both kits though. Kroguard is quite tough.

[JRandall0308]

Gratz!

 

But for full hipster cred you need the alternate Lone Wolf banner. It has FemShep so it is automatically 329% cooler.

[Miniditka77]

If you have the Batarian Soldier and any kind of decent grenade capacity gear (or even Warfighter/Shock Trooper), you can solo Gold Reapers without too much trouble.

[The_Nightman_Cometh]

Congratz OP.... sounded like you went thru your own personal war to get that banner......

 

Only advice I ever had for anyone who wanted to solo was to pick your favorite character / weapon  ...and faction/map combo..and just enjoy playing... don't worry about the time...just relax and enjoy it......

Like that doesn't work on all grenade kits and all grande rich maps.

[czeuch]

Tks all. I will change to the alternate, just have to check it out.

I don't have a batarian soldier.

And my main concern is not time but rather survival when soloing gold.
