This Riven Challenge is very easy to do - you just need to equip the right weapons and gear and don't try to rush it!
Preparation:
- Equip a Sniper Rifle - I recommend the Vectris Prime as the 6x zoom make it easier to land headshots from a distance.
- Optional: You can use the Eagle Eye mod to increase the zoom of your Sniper Rifle which makes it easier to land headshots from a safe distance; with Vectris Prime this will result in 8.4x zoom.
- Equip the Itzal Archwing and mod it for Duration and Efficiency with the Efficient Transferal and System Reroute mods.
- Equip some Energy Restore on the gear wheel.
- Don't forget to equip the veiled Riven Mod on your weapon!
Here is my Vectris Prime build for this Riven Challenge for inspiration:
There are different variations of this Riven Mod:
- If your Riven Mod require you to do the mission solo, then make sure to select Solo before heading into Plains of Eidolon. Which what you should do anyway for Riven Mod challenges...
- If you get one of the other variants e.g. "...without getting afflicted by a Status effect" just make sure to stay cloaked on Itzal whenever you are near enemies.
How to finish this Riven Challenge:
- Fly to one of the enemy camps and use the sniper rifle from a safe distance to locate guards.
- Drop an Energy Restore to max out your energy
- Use Itzal's 1 ability to quickly move into distance and then quickly press the 2. ability to cloak.
- Be very careful when aiming - if you kill a target with anything but a headshot the counter will reset!
- When you have killed all the guards or are low on energy use the 1. ability to quickly get out of range, move to another camp and repeat from step 1
Hint: My mouse have a special "Sniper-button" that will lower the DPI resolution when aiming with my sniper riffle - that makes it much easier to land a perfect headshot. If your mouse do not have such a button, consider lowering the DPI resolution while doing this Riven Challenge as it will make aiming easier.
