  • Solo 75 PUP/NIN: Focused on trusts that stay at range along with a tank to keep AoE risk minimal. Prep included summoning healer automaton, summoning trusts, letting Apururu get TP, Beef Stewpot, Utsusemi, Overdrive (use it or lose it, there's an attack that puts all your abilities on cooldown and it can happen early in the fight). Started by sending in the automaton to get drawn in while I positioned Valaineral away from the entrance, so I could retreat there with my pet to avoid AoE damage. I let the trusts kill the boss while I stayed focused on hitting Seed Thralls with subtarget actions and pet attacks. Fight took 7m 18s. Trusts used were Valaineral, Apururu, Semih Lafihna, Tenzen II, Margret. Memento was Dragon Hatchling (10% max HP and MP). I had a few attempts where I tried starting with a sharpshot automaton, but Apururu ran out of MP too quickly, swapping automaton builds would take too long due to AoE damage and Seed Crystal's attacks occasionally forcing things like Repair into cooldown.
    Seed Thralls do not copy trusts, only copying from the players in the party. Equipped a Shield with no main hand weapon so I didn't have any weapon skills available. However, the Seed Thralls would appear to have a shield but could still use hand-to-hand weapon skills. They still had 2 attacks per round, using the 1-handed animation. I tried to outsmart the mechanic and it didn't have any effect.
    Valaineral does not automatically use Uriel Blade when a Seed Thrall spawns. I used Ninjutsu to get enmity to trigger it. --Shynoe (talk) 17:13, 5 May 2022 (EDT)
