Guide
Head on over to the Armax Arsenal Arena at Silversun Strip at The Citadel. You'll need to earn at least 6000 points or more in at least one Arena event in order to earn a Gold Prize Token. Make sure to earn loads of Silver Prize Tokens and Bronze Prize Tokens as well as you'll need to unlock James, Javik, Enhanced Player Damage Modifier, Enemy Damage Modifier, The Armax Classic Level, Brimstone Level, Pain Train Level and Mirror Match Enemies.
After unlocking Mirror Match, head to the Arena Computer and select a Level (Brimstone is best for this), then select N7 as Enemies, then select Enemy Damage Modifier, then select Enhanced Player Damage as Modifier, then select James and Javik as your Squad. At the weapon bench, set yours and your squads loadouts with the Plasma Rifle, Suppressor and Mantis Rifle. Set your armour as Cerberus Ajax Armor. Pause the game, head into the Options section, then into Gameplay and then set the Combat Difficulty to Normal. Then save the game. Start the match by using the Combat Simulator elevator.
Once you start the match, after the countdown ends and the first N7 Enemy Shepard appears, quickly pause the game. Once you've paused the game, head into the Options section, then into Gameplay and then set the Combat Difficulty to Casual. Return to the match and defeat the three waves of N7 Enemy Shepard's. During the final round, before defeating the last Shepard, quickly pause the game. Once you've paused the game, head into the Options section, then into Gameplay and then set the Combat Difficulty to Normal. Return to the match and defeat the last N7 Enemy Shepard and once the match ends, the trophy should pop up.

• Followed various guides online. After five completed arena matches in the setup area with N7 as enemies, no modifiers, Pain Train as level (even used other levels as well), with Mirror Match enabled & James and Javik as my squad, I’ve still not unlocked the trophy.
