Discussion I deadlined every ARC solo and ranked them by how much they hate you

Spent the whole week deadlining ARCs one at a time and rating the pain. Ticks (10hp) and Pops (20hp) are free, obviously. Wasps (110hp, thrusters) get annoying in packs. The Bastion (2,050hp, rear plate + leg joints) is a patience test but fair. The Matriarch is the one that broke me - Heavy armor, weakpoints on the Core and Leg Joints, and it does NOT let you reposition politely. Triple Matriarch deadline is my white whale. What's your worst solo deadline?

The Matriarch is the honest skill check of the roster - same Core/Leg-Joint discipline as the Queen but it punishes greed faster. Nice writeup, this is the cooperative content the section needs.

@CoreShotClara @dom_hunts I have never once considered fighting a Matriarch on purpose and this thread has somehow both scared and inspired me.

i deadline exactly one ARC per run: whoever's shooting the boss while i shoot them

i started a triple Matriarch deadline once, panicked, took a Snap Hook to the roof and left with nothing. character growth.
