Champions Drop Ship Challenge

Hey Champion, it’s time…

What time is that you ask?

It’s time for us to join together as Champions and take out the Rikti’s Drop Ships!

When do we plan on doing this? This Saturday, June 19th, at 8:30 P.M. eastern.

This year, it’s going to be a veritable Riktipalooza of events! There will be three events in total, culminating with us taking the fight to them! Loads of Influence and IOs to be won, and a Special Guest will be on hand to pass out Gold Titles… What will your Gold Title say?

The Details:

  • Phase 1: Drop Ships!
  • We will be gathering in Talos on the "last line of defense" hill across from the base portal so we can team up and zone quickly to where the Drop Ships will be entering (details on how this will work to follow after event schedule) Please be in Talos by 8:30 pm eastern time
  • Last year we took down 18 ships in total. Each person that gets a drop ship kill shot will have the opportunity to pick a random number from 1-18 and will win the corresponding prize. The winners will pick in the order they got the kill shot. Prizes will be rewarded during the second phase of the over Rikti Event.



  • Just a tease of some of the prizes: full set of Armageddons, LotGs, Numina & Miracle +'s, and three billion in Influence.

  • Phase 2: Rikti Inspired Costume Contest
  • Dress your best to impress! This isn’t your run of the mill costume contest. We will be looking for costumes inspired by the Rikti. You may also incorporate the Vanguard. However, Rikti themed IS what we will be looking for. Dress wisely!
  • Prizes: 500 mil 1st, 300 mil 2nd, and 200 mil for 3rd.
  • Phase 3: Taking the fight to the Mothership!
  • They came to us, now we will go to them and show them what Champions are all about! Celestial Lord has graciously offerd to run a Mothership Raid. During the raid we will ask random Rikti trivia and offer up a kill shot prize on U’kon Gr’ai.
Please note, this is a Super Group event, and therefore all prizes will be rewarded as such. Except for the kill shot on U’Kon Gr’ai, that can be paid in either infamy or influence.

Now for some minor details:

Please use your level 50 hero characters, I cannot stress this enough!

Clearly, this is going to require all team members to have flight. There are jet packs available for purchase in Firebase Zulu, or you can also buy one for $5 bucks from the NCSoft store… the mini booster pack.

We need team leaders! I’m calling out supergroups to organize teams for this event. If you wish to be a team leader, please post here/send me a pm/send me an in game tell with your global so I can reach you for further details. Same goes for supergroups that plan on attending.

Basically, a team lead will fill the team and wait for the pre-set Event channel to announce a zone. You'll take your team there and head to the path of the assigned targeter Fiya Knight (global @Fanged Knight) Please have all team members add him to friends so they can keep on target.. Keep an eye on the /Request channel for recaps and signals.

I need volunteer team leaders to: show up early! We need to get teams formed prior to the raid and give a basic outline of what to do & who to target off of. Please give the maps linked here - http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Rikti_World_Invasion - a good once over so even if you and your team loses sight of the targeter, you're still aware of ship paths for the random invasions. We will call out what squadron color path to follow. Team Leads: We will be using our Ventrilo server, for our Ventrilo server information, please send me a tell at @Cherry-2000.

Here is some basic information & strategy on the Drop Ships (considered a GM, and do reward merits!)

Drop Ships deal an initial energy blast of approx. 900 points damage to a level 50 (try to keep above the ship)

They enter a zone in two waves. Each wave flies in two separate routes. Approximately 9 ships stream in through each route for an approximate total of 36 ships per Invasion in one zone.

The key to success is damage and debuffers. Leapfrog tactics will be needed. A team would have to get in their initial round of hits, and then race ahead of the ship to get another shot off. Each team doing so creates a "gauntlet" from which the ship eventually wears down and explodes.


If you have any questions, please send me a pm/tell/global @cherry-2000.



See you kids tomorrow night! Lets rock it Champion! (Thanks, Dazz for the super sexy banner!)

I'll be there once again, with bells on. Not much else perhaps, but definitely bells. I'm looking forward to it!

Rawr! Still out of town. Can't make it. Missed this last year too. *Sniff, sniff*

I wish I could be here for this. It's a real shame, because I love chasing after Rikti, especially on my 50 blaster. I still haven't been able to show up for one of these. I gotta cross my fingers and hope that someone decides this is worth doing next year and that I'm able to make it.

Good luck to everyone this weekend! Kick some Dropship butt.

Ok Peeps:

I know everyone is curious what prizes are going to be given away so here we go...

1 Billion to the costume contest (1st = 500 Mil, 2nd = 300 Mil & 3rd = 200 Mil)

1 x full set of Armageddons (All 6 given as 1 prize)

1 x full set of level 50 Obliteration's (All 6 given as 1 prize)

1 x full set of level 35 Kinetic Combats (All 5 given as 1 prize)

4 x level 50 Numina +/+'s

1 x level 40 Miracle +

1 x level 25 Miracle +

4 x level 50 LOTG +'s

1 x level 25 LOTG +

1 x 1 Billion Influence

4 x 500 Million Influence

4 x 250 Million Influence

Ok, so now that the fun part is over some important things...

In order to win a prize during Phase 1 you must defeat a Drop Ship. We will go down the list 1 to 18, first to last and have you call out a number between 1 and 18. You will win the corresponding prize that we have randomly numbered. Just so no one calls funny business 1 person outside of our Super Group's has the list and will verify the drawing. Should anyone from our SG's get a kill shot we will add it to the raffle and will be given away during the Mother Ship Raid as part of the kill shot on U'kon Gr'ai.

Any questions please let me know.

@Fanged Knight

I'm also giving away 350 million infamy or influence to whomever nails the kill shot on U'Kon Gr'ai, so the U'Kon Gr'ai kill shot will be worth at least 350 million.

This sounds like a blast but alas I have no 50's yet on Champion. My Stone/SS tank is only 37 so no way I will make 50 by tomorrow...we need another round of free server transfers.

I'm trying to get an idea how fast the ships go down (die), or how many times you have to "leap-frog" the ship?

If it takes awhile to kill one, or if we have to essentially chase/leap-frog a ship half way across the zone, then I'm wondering if I should bring my Kin to help with movement?

If the drop ships die pretty quickly (leap-frogging once or twice) then ill just bring a sonic blaster..

sounds like they go down as fast as Pylons?


perma jump is ---> /up 1
