Solo ITF Completion With Arachnos Soldier

[VoidSpawn2]

Solo ITF Completion With Arachnos Soldier.

 

This time, a solo ITF completion with an Arachnos Soldier. Standard +0/X8 settings. Nothing special, because I'm not special. 

 

This was a very fun run. A bit of pucker factor during the crystals on the cave map, due to not having enough room to maneuver while watching cascading DDR run wild. 

 

I liberally used some P2W powers to expedite the process. Nothing major this time. Even if the power is shown on my UI, it doesn't mean that I actually used it. As an example, I have Ethereal Shift up there, but I've used that 0 times during this whole insane ITF Solo Quest.      

 

As always, these are clean runs with no deaths tolerated. Yet, this time, there were at least two occasions that were very hairy, and only good luck and a certain modicum of skill saved the day. Well, skill and all of those P2W powers, temps, base buffs, etc., that I was running. 

 

I did run almost all of the major temp powers (including, at times, the Wedding Band), with the main four accolades in effect, and with all Incarnate powers at Tier 3. 

     

Tactics/Strategy: Directly target the mobs surrounding the chicks on the first map. Upon exiting that map, directly fly up and over to the Sybil and engage the mobs around her. Doing this directly sometimes fools the encounter logic, causing the Kheldian ambush to fail. (This run, however, I got too far forward--heh @Werner told me never to do that--and triggered the ambush, which I had to deal with.) On the final maps, fly to the AVs immediately, and wipe them out. Kill the auto-hit Nictus first. That's the one in the middle. Then, proceed in reverse to clear the objects. You know the rest of the minutiae here. And, yes, these tactics still fit into the overall strategy.  

 

I used Mystic Flight the entire time and remained in hover mode. I paid special attention, especially in the caves, to hover above casual melee contact. Like, at the top of the cave, looking down. This time, there was an issue due to crystal placement, and I almost got taken down by DDR. There was virtually no down time on button pattern sequencing. All totally smooth the whole run...

 

...except for when one of my cats knocked my Stratocaster down behind me, scaring the bejezzus out of me during the first AV fight. 

 

As with the Widow, the Arachnos Soldier is a really tough, hardy, violent character build. I ran a hybrid mace build, and it's as crunchy as mace gets.   

 

The Quest continues...

Thanks, @Sovera. I use one of your Accolade guides to help expedite the maturation of my t00ns; viz., the table listing the various locations for the badges and such for each of the main four Accolades. Really saves time.

I ought to make one instead of piggybacking on that guy's thread.

 

I've been following your exploits on the different forums and you have a looot more patience than I do 😄 Nowadays it seems I never even get to 50 with a new alt.
