Difficult riven mod help- Kill Sentients without taking damage

[Driftwood]

Trying to open a riven mod with the challenge "Get the killing blow on 2 sentients without taking damage". Honestly I'm kind of stumped on how to do this without just having someone else do all the work and have me come in at the last second. Anyone have any thoughts on how to do this one solo?

It might work to run as Titania. Last time I fought sentients with her, I found they couldn't target her in fairy form.  Just stay well above them.

Never seen that one. Not going to lie, that sounds really hard without bribing someone to come along with you to do all the work. Hope you get an awesome riven from that.

I think Rhino's Iron Skin and Nezha's Warding Halo should block out the damage.

Maybe Rhino's iron skin prevents the "taking damage" condition.

You can also wait until two conculysts spawn. They are melee only, but spawn far less often, at least for me.

Or you can try invisibility and radial disarm, and hope they arms fall off quickly.

Good luck.

Ivara might work but you'll need a few tries and some cover

I've gotten that one before, i think i scrapped the riven since it wasn't for a weapon i was ever going to use though :/

I main banshee, so i just ran with my highest damage Sonar build. It only takes one or two shots from my sybaris to kill them - One at least, the other catches on kinda quick. But i don't think the riven requires them to be killed in succession. You should be able to kill one, then run a second mission for the other.

No need for cover. Cast prowl and once the Sentients show up shoot them with Artemis Bow. Dead in seconds.

I did it as Ivara (invis-cheese + Artemis bow). Just wanted to mention that apparently "damage" means specifically damage to health. I got hit with the shield-only attack and still got credit on kill. I was busy dealing with Stalker (who decided to join the party), so I was expecting to have to redo things. It was a pleasant surprise (and Stalker finally dropped Hate, so double win for me). 

Not sure if that's how DE intended this to work.

Rhino modded for iron skin and weapons with different elementals and IPS. It will be like a walk in the park.

[TrickshotMcGee]

Ivara, Loki, and Rhino are probably your best bets. Personally, I'd go for Ivara since you can just use a silenced weapon and sit above them on a zipline murdering them without fear of damage. So long as you have properly-modded weapons.

Nyx + Assimilate = Easy.

What about Valkyr?

Is it seriously just damage to health? This will be way easier than I've been making it. I was resetting any time I got hit. Probably gonna go with Nezha+lots of elemental damage.

Update: This challenge is way different than what I thought: So I can take damage during the mission, but any time I take damage between the first time I kill a sentient and the second the counter resets. Used guns to kill the first one then activated Madurai focus to wreck the second one. The wording on these riven mod challenges can apparently get kinda vague.
