Check your team tab, make sure you're not on a team. Make sure you have trained up to 50. Not just got to 50. Respec outside of an SG base. Trying respec'ing another character. You don't have to complete it, just see if it's not an account issue. All else fails, open a support ticket.

Ranged Banes can solo, but single target damage is not great. Mace melee banes can solo just fine with the understand that they can be a bit fragile. My fully built out melee Bane can solo most groups at 4x8. Pretty much anything a 4x4. Ranged Banes are great on teams, so much support and AOE damage. Need more defense, check, need -resists, check, need AOE immobilize and damage... Remember you can have up to three builds per character. So, why not both types.

Yep, you hit the bug. If all the AVs die then the mission completes, but at least you got the reward.

VEAT toggles are cheap and I don't proc out my AOEs which saves a lot of endurance.

Ageless is all I need at 50, running Muscular not Cardiac. Not running out of endurance at sub 50 either. I don't use serums on this toon either. That is with dozens of hours of playtime at least. Endurance is not an issue.

General advice to take out specific mobs which buff/support/heals to speed things up. There are three villains that drop triage beacon and at least one shield gen. Good news is that they have weak healers, Fallen something is the primary healer. Generally, fighting against the heroes is harder. As they have multiple good support sets. Ether needs to die quickly as she has both a single and AOE heal which she uses often. Holo man can really mess things up, because his phantom army will distract a lot of villains. This causes a lot of them to die or worse tie up one of the AVs, which leads to a lot of villains dying. In general once any mob uses it's T9, unless you're doing psi damage just ignore them and let the AV/Heroes take them out. I guess I should create a guide.

What was your brute secondary? There are several controller types on the villain side.

Pretty sure you have to defeat all the AVs. We usually take Black Scorpion out first, then Ghost Widow, Lord Recluse is third, so we have not tried taking out LR first.

Currently due to the bug. Once, you defeat the AVs as a hero/vig you get the gift and the mission completes kicking you out.

All good suggestions, which I'll write down. You can catch me on Homecoming discord. Usually in the VEATs forums. Or just IM here.

But that's boring. 😛 Soloing it is a lot of fun, just treat the audience as your teammates.

Glad you figured it out. I will have better UIs next major release to avoid this kinds of issues. As for the overlay not staying on top. There is an issue, where have to run the COH client in windowed mode for the overlay to stay on top. MS Windows makes it very hard to get an overlay to stay on top of a full screen application. I am researching a solution. Thank you for using it!

Could you paste the contents of your overlay.bat file here?

The Nemesis option is the quickest way to get one of the badges, but there is no direct badge. The only reward is what you got. There is a bug though:

There are three waves, you quit just before the end.
