So I tend to complete this task without trying, but it wasn't naturally happening for me on the current Battlethon. And with the alternative being "win 9 matches of 2v2 or 5v5 death matches" I would have preferred to to quickly rack up 5 kills instead.
Anyway I was trudging along with 2v2 task when I realized it actually is the perfect venue to get your mech below 10% health and complete the task. Going up against just 2 mechs makes it a lot easier to let one pound on you until you're below 10% health. I only tried this a little bit, but my preliminary insights were that Panther seems like the best mech to select, with Ares probably being the next best. Note your total health number in the HP bar when you start, and once it hits 10%, throw up the barrier (or shield). Going up against slow steady damage is best, is enemies with lasers are ideal, and Carbines are pretty good too. But definitely take out enemy Javelins the second you see them. Their volley style attacks ruin everything.
I only started doing this for the last few kills, so I haven't really refined my method. If folks have other insights or ways they use to complete this task, I'd be interested. That win 9 death matches task is an annoying development, especially since there is no tournament today.
