Has anybody managed to complete Pinaka Challenge 5?

The odds just feel way out of your favor, and being given a DPS challenge as a Medic Mech doesn't feel particularly intuitive on my end. I don't feel like my skills as a medic/support are being tested, I feel like I'm being punished because I can't run down Luminae before I'm blitzed by Inferno and Welkin.

People have by absolutely cheesing it hard. That being said it's harder now than it was when the Demo launched as Pinaka has seen at least 1-2 silent nerfs (specifically to self heal speed with drones and Emergency Drone shield health) so we went from doing limited DPS with a 10 round magazine (down from 15 last time) to the same, but now we heal slower than a Solo Tricera self heals and our Emergency Drone has half of it's previous HP.

No idea why they continue to nerf the Mech that was pretty damned balanced when the Demo Launched. Tbf, last playtest Pinaka was really damn strong, but they had already nerfed it. Why they required ANOTHER set of nerfs ontop of it is beyond me.

Anyway, that aside - yeah those challenges are absolutely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ broken. They were intended for Pre-Nerf Pinaka from the last playtest when Pinaka was actually able to do DPS, had an incredibly strong Self Heal, and a strong shield. They haven't adjusted it yet.
