Same. I haven't tried it on PUP but do you need the WHM? Or is it just insurance to have one?

I typically go on BST and it's really safe if you time reward/1-2 dawn mulsums correctly. Same for Rampage+Snarl.

I like going on DRG/BLU to solo it. Pretty safe (never died), fast, fun. Not as boring as PUP solo, not as tedious as mage kiting.

True, yes. I found mage kiting to be tedious.

Is there an another benefit besides twice as many seals? (I know that when you alliance when doing AMAN Troves, each party can enter the BCNM as a separate entry or "instance").

I have not done level synced content in a long time. How important is lvl 60 gear vs level synced gear?

Buffoons works 100% since the level to equip is lower than level 60.

Pup just needs attachments and any animator. A few oil just in case and you can solo it naked in other slots

Until I got my Klub, I used to do it in full Mpaca's with Karambits, start with 2 fire maneuvers and 1 thunder, after first WS, swap to light for the regens until comfortable, then ride light/fire/thunder. About 4 minute fights. Faster if you care to engage with your puppet.

I assume it's more or less something like:

Instant Protect/Shell/Stoneskin
Cocoon
Atk/Def food like Rabbit Pie or Hydra Kofte
Jump/HJ at start, Penta Thrust when you can
Trigger Healing Breath when HP critical
Repeat till it dies?
I don't actually know, though I am curious too!

I do the fight on my alt like this, but w/ def food usually.

Pretty simple.

Keep Cocoon up. Penta Thrust whenever you get TP. Whenever you're below 50% HP, use blue magic (preferring Head Butt) so your wyvern heals you. That's basically it. If you're ever in trouble you can Super Jump / High Jump hate on to your wyvern, and Spirit Link if it gets low.

It's ideal to have the base AF helm (upgraded versions won't maintain the enhanced breath when scaling down). Can use whatever cheap food, and I'd have a juice or vile elixir on you on the off-chance you run low on MP.

pup definitely has the clear advantage since it can use level 99 tier attachments that the fight wasn't designed for, if you're going to spend all your seals on this its worth considering. really boring though.

I just can't seem to bring myself to get good at PUP. I basically built a pet tank set, kenkonken and just spam Fire/Earth/Light and that's it. I'm a very one dimensional PUP, sadly.

BST's jug pet is down-scaled to 50, and food like akamochi is also scale as is: +10% Acc/Attack, etc. It's little more engaging.

Oh my, thanks to this thread I took my basically naked PUP into this fight. I can't believe I used to do this on BLM.

BST is superior to PUP for up in arms outside of overdrive. Coldblood como can 3 step sc it off the bat down to 30ish %, rampage > braincrush finish after 1 ready move recharge

If anyone is committed to get kraken club, I would simply do (I actually did it) level all same account chars a PUP lv60.

Each char by default will get like 2 tries a month with login points.

Log one, overdrive, log two overdrive, etc. I dont know why I would "save" overdrive, as changing many char would give enough time for the first one to recover 1h.

Yeah, I wouldnt consider anything outside of overdriving unless you want some "challenge" or have some masochist wish. You gonna need to farm at least 500 fights on it. Just make it fast and as little effort as possible.

What maneuvers are you using? I found I got much faster fights with the following

Valoredge frame/head
Optic Fiber 1+2
Armor Plate 1+4
flame holder
attuner
magniplug 1+2
coiler 2
galvanizer
Turbo charger 1+2

Maneuvers are wind/thunder/fire, +2 oils are necessary but this is the fastest build I've seen for PUP so far (without OD).

The point of the other set is to not have to keep putting up fire over and over and not bother to use oils. Not about fast per say.

Fire/Wind/Light

With your set your auto must have barely 50% acc the galvanizer shouldn't do much of anything. Probably better served with a higher stabilizer. Never tried but mine has ~75% with stabilizer 5

Inkjet is potent. -80 acc
