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.
