Finally got Serenity Now: Heres how

[Saobie]

Sword, Temporal, Architect

Stacked up 4 points first to get Ataraxia, then got offered Shield Radius and Radiant Shield so i took both, great help. You basically need to luck out and get some form of level boosts, you wont last long enough without it. I got Quantum Decoherance at lv27, and the early boost made the end of the grind doable. Swords are great because theyre both super powerful and great for defense, Temporal is what i find to be the most ideal choice, because when you expand its range you force everything in striking range to be slowed. Architect builds the swords faster, stronger, and benefits greatly from Ataraxias boosts

Hardest achievement in the game to get, hands down

My approach was Salvo, Temporal, Stealth. Took nothing else except Discord Orbs (because they don't break stealth) and a single Grandeur when it came up in the rolls.

Temporal + Stealth is great for keeping you alive if you're cautious, and the careful maneuvering allows time to build up more rockets.

I never use Stealth but this might work out for antimatter missile singular strike. The problem there is the low number of missiles and low refresh rate

I suspect any reasonable stealth build can do it. Some need a little more support, but if a stealth build qualifies for Pure of Mod and Body and has a weapon that doesn't clash with stealth it can probably get Serenity Now. I think I used Railgun with Calibration.

I wish i thought to use Stealth for this lol. At first i went Assault/Spreadshot, then Sentinel\Grenade, before settling on Architect/Swords

Have mentioned it before but I will do so again, Research is very nice for this achievement just from the fact that with banishing wilds you are more likely to get Grandeurs and Quantum.

Its not even a bad idea to waste a level to for example swap into Levi later either, the lost level should hopefully be made up for by Grandeur/Quantum and Snek is even better than Architect with Ataraxia bonuses so you should hopefully be able to just body everything, quite literally, until you have stacked enough levels for the achievement.

Over-picking Grandeurs with Levi is also not necessarily a bad thing.

Currently it required 40 unspent upgrade points with Ataraxia to get this achievement.

I tried stealth with salvo but it was too difficult. I finally did it with sword, original shield, battery(ship), ally->interceptor and got it at lvl 45.
