Riven Challenge: Land 7-9 consecutive headshots while in Archwing in the Plains of Eidolon…

Posted on October 25, 2019December 11, 2019 by Lars Bodin

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.

Riven Challenge: Complete a solo interception mission with level 30 or higher enemies with a Hobbled Dragon Key equipped

Posted on October 5, 2019December 11, 2019 by Lars Bodin

This Riven Challenge was actually from one of the first Rivens I got but I thought it would be impossible to solo an Interception mission, so for a long time I didn't even try this challenge. However, once you get Nyx with the right build, this challenge becomes very easy. 🙂

Nyx's Chaos ability will force the enemies to start fighting each other - while fighting, they will not try to capture any of the radio towers. Just mod Nyx with as much Ability Range and Ability Duration as possible to keep the Chaos ability up. Try to avoid killing enemies as this will just spawn more enemies, that are not mind controlled by the previous Chaos so you will have to cast Chaos again.

I suggest you choose Shade as your companion for this challenge as he will cloak you if an enemy gets too close - the Chaos ability will force all enemies tol fight the closest target and that might be you!

Remember to equip the veiled Riven mod on your weapon. Also consider equipping some Energy Restore so you can keep your energy up and spam Chaos when needed.

Xini on Eris is a nice map for this challenge. Start by capturing the nearest radio tower. Then cast Chaos as the enemies spawn. Don't kill any enemies, just bullet-jump to the next radio tower (the Hobbled Dragon Key will make you run slow but do not affect bullet-jump). Make sure to keep an eye on the timer on your Chaos ability so you can recast it before enemies start capturing towers.

Also, keep an eye on your map - if you see one of the nodes starting to be taking over by the enemy, just bullet-jump until you get close enough and then cast Chaos again - or kill the enemy at the terminal.

When you have captured all towers (you actually just need to capture 3 so pick the 3 closest to each other), move to a position in the middle and keep your Chaos ability up. With enough Ability Range you should not have trouble protecting at least 3 towers.

Remember to equip the veiled Riven mod on your weapon. Also consider equipping some Energy Restore so you can keep your energy up and spam Chaos when needed.

Riven Challenge: Sustain a 6x melee combo multiplier for 30 seconds

Posted on October 4, 2019January 6, 2020 by Lars Bodin

For this Warframe Riven Challenge I recommend using a strong tank Warframe like Rhino/Rhino Prime or Inaros - this will allow you to ignore mobs during the boss fight and focus your melee attacks on the boss in order to build up and keep the melee combo counter. See the linked articles for Rhino and Inaros tank builds.

Next, equip a Venka or Venka Prime and use a build similar to the one below.

Important: Make sure to equip the veiled Riven and any other required items, e.g. a pet, Dragon Key etc.

Go to Mars and start the War mission in solo game mode. When the capture target Lt Lech Kril is in his invulnerbility phase, just keep slashing him with your melee weapon to build up the combo multiplier and keep it above 6x for at least 30 secs.

Your melee combo counter is displayed in the lower right corner - in the image above it is 3.25X

First time I did this challenge I had to sustain a 3x combo multiplier with an Extinguished Dragon Key equipped - I actually completed the challenge just by killing mobs with my Venka Prime on the way to the boss. Very easy challenge with this setup. After the changes to melee damage this Riven Challenge now require you to sustain a 6x combo multiplier.

The most important mod here is the Relentless Combination, as it will increase the melee combo counter each time you get a Slash Status proc. That is why we also need a Slash weapon like Venka for this challenge.

Melee Prowess + Drifting Contact will give us more Status chance for those Slash Status procs we need.

Fury + Gladiator Vice will give us some more attack speed for quickly building up the melee combo counter; if we are lucky and get a Crit, the Berserker mod will give us even more attack speed.

Reach or Primed Reach + Drifting Contact + Gladiator Rush will make it a little easier to keep the Combo counter up.
