With the current maxlight campaign, I was curious if someone had info/recommendations on somewhat easily soloable VW mobs for heavy metal.

I'll probably be considering trusts + my PUP with moderate gear or my really scrubby SMN. I'll be trying out Kaggen first, I think. I'm hoping to be able to safely zerg.

Thanks for your thoughts~

Uptala is an easy target, especially if you use those voidcluster things, which are 1k now.

If using clusters, may want to target Aello as it should be less busy. I do Bismark/Morta with 5 clusters and trusts, super easy, so Aello should be a joke. Uptala and Qilin shouldn't need clusters, but if you want to use 1 or 2 a fight go for it. Without having to look for weaknesses and such, should be able to burn them down quickly. I wouldn't waste time with Kaggen, only 1 possible plate a fight, and death moves can still get you lol.

Qilin is the easiest target for hmps since he doesnt spawn adds instantly. Kaggen can only drop 1 hmp per kill so target the t3 zilart NMs if you can pop them since they can drop pouches instead of singles which can hold 3-18 iirc.

With me on Paladin with trusts, 2 displacers = more than enough weakening for Aello. I've been using 3 on Morta (1-2 Min fights). Ig-Alima needed 3 (He killed all my trusts ~30% each time but I could still solo him off.) Going to try Bismarck next.

Do you all bother with cobalt/rubicund cells? I am with a jp group right now and I am 0/42 today on aello. They are getting at least a pouch per 6... They are popping much faster than it takes me to /item trade all 6 cells
