Solo with Trusts:

Soloed this guy easily with trusts as NIN/WAR. Trusts used were Joachim, Ulmia, Koru-Moru, Monberaux, and Apururu (UC). Buffed before popping with Gekka (Enmity), Kakka (STP), and Myoshu (Subtle Blow), used Carbonara food for the ATK and more STP. Utsusemi then pop, get his attention so he doesn't go after a random trust and then immediately switch to the Wyvern, 1~2 WS's should take it out then switch back to AAGK, Hit him and then pull a faint retreat to lead him away from the where the trusts have set up shop.

He is a WS and SC spamming machine so don't forget to put Yurin (Inhibit TP), and Aisha (Weaken Attack) on him and reapply when they wear off. Same goes for Kakka and Myoshu, make sure to reapply them if/when they wear off. The Wyvern will respawn periodically so keep an eye out for it and mercilessly slaughter it every time it does or else it's Breath attacks will rip through your shadows and leave you open for AAGK's WS/SC mayhem.

I'm not joking even with Yurin on him, he spams TP like my own Dojikiri Samurai. You will almost be spamming Utsusemi and Migawari he rips through shadows so fast, so ignore your preferred TP gear and full time 5/5 Malignance because it hurts when he does get a lucky shot in between shadows.

Thankfully his EVA is almost laughable, you shouldn't have any trouble landing hits even though he is lvl 140. Luckily I came up in the 75 cap era with the old SC/MB mentality as a Samurai so I'm used to non stop spamming multiple things at once. While you are spamming that Utsusemi macro you also want to spam (to the best of your ability) your best WS solo SC move, for me it was Blade: Shun spam with Heishi mainhand and Ternion Dagger +1 offhand, saw a lot of Lights and Radiances before he went down.

Only downside is, Shun's animation is long enough to where you'll still be doing the move when he decides to do his own SC on you, and you could find yourself with no shadows half way through it when you just had 7 up. That's why I suggest fulltime Malignance, it could save your life.

Overall as long as you are able to simultaneously spam both Utsusemi and Shun and keep non stop light/radiance going, and keep the Wyvern killed off he goes down rather easily for a 140 NM. But any lapse in focus on your part though will see you on the receiving end of a 2.5~3k SC and it's lights out.

So far have soloed this guy about 5 times this way (and lost twice... lapse in focus lol). Got every drop he has except the one I actually want... Seki Shuriken.

Good Luck and Happy Hunting soloers!
