Soloing Unity (with Trusts)
Soloing Unity (with Trusts)
Has anyone attempted to solo any Unity BC's yet with 5 trusts? I realize everyone is preoccupied with the new missions and Escha Sky, but I'm curious to hear any strategies that people are using for various NM's.
Did they remove the restriction on needing three people to pop?

Yes. I tried to solo Azure-Toothed Clawberry last night on SMN. I got him to about 30% before he used Searing Light.
Things went downhill from there.

They sure did!
Quote:
Unity Concord has undergone the following additions and adjustments.
Yoran-Oran and Sylvie now lead their own new Unities.
The minimum number of players required to participate in Wanted battles has been decreased from three to one.
The new Unity leaders have their own Unity information, Unity rankings, and Unity chat messages.
The maximum attribute values of Unity leader alter egos obtained via Unity rankings have been increased.
The amount of Unity accolades required for changing Unities has been adjusted.
I wonder if the monster's HP scaling now scales under 3? Or if it still remains downcapped at 3 players even when a single player pops it?
Previously, as far as I know, Unity NM HP scaled from 3 to 18 according to the number of players present in alliance when you popped it.
Trusts did not count towards this scaling (unless I'm wrong?)

I was always under the impression that the scaling only went up with more than 6 people.
That's how it works in Delve and Incursion, not sure that was the case for Unity as well but it's probably like that, yeah.
On my nowhere near stellar Thief (and without GearSwap last night) I managed to kill Abyssdiver using Apururu, Koru Moru, Ulmia, Valaineral and Qultada (may have been someone else in this slot).
Tried one of the 122's, Tiyanak, earlier, but forgot to use food and was half dead by the time I realised.
This is going off 0 Unity NM experience by the by, so someone with experience of the NMs will likely fare better.

Did Arke without any trouble as DNC/SAM. Tried to have Gessho tank, but it was pointless; he never got hate back after the first three-step SC. Waltzes helped Karaha-Baruha heal; make sure you don't have an XP ring active so Qultada will use Evoker's.
Got butchered by Mephitas. Just straight up flattened. ***was embarrassing.
HP does not scale down for one person, as far as I can tell.

Managed to take down Joyous green solo on WHM/DNC. My Accuracy was kinda bad (but was solved from a mistake of my own).
Gessho and Amchuchu were tanking with the rest being healers. By my part, i coulda just had Gessho tank and gotten out Lillisette II.

Yeah I did around 40 Immanibugard fights solo (with 5 trusts) and HP definitely does not scale down.
Azure-Toothed is going to be a sucky solo experience. There's just no other way around it.
Dealing with 1 NM is one thing but throwing 3 adds into the mix + Searing Light is just problematic.
I suppose I could try BST and just do a Claw Cyclone spam and just try and zerg the Tonberry + Elementals all at once - like Ouryu.

Make sure you use Earthen Armor if you didn't. The second key is to kill 2 of 3 elementals and keep the third alive, then only one carbuncle is spawned instead of 3. If you kill all elementals then he will respawn 3. I don't think it's one that is going to lend itself much to soloing tho everyone's grude and throat stab kind of wreck things. I used schezero + earthen armor strat and just trick attacked double darkness onto a RUN, if you can resummon fast enough you might be able to use solo pet strat but you'll get your pets one shot but everyone's grudge and throat stab.
Are you dboxing a BRD mule?
Nobody here likely needs to be reminded of this, but soloing the 75/99 Unities is a reliable moneymaker for the sufficiently self-hating. Baldurno turns 400 accolades into 750 sparks in about a minute.
I would never suggest somebody ought to kill 100 Baldurnos to make under a million gil, but we get more accolades than we could ever possibly need and well, whatever.

Not to mention the horns NPC for just over 1k!
