False, false, and incorrect.

Phantoms can solo, yes, but duoing sounds way more feasible to the not-as-informed-player.

The only time Carlos was attacking and I wasn't was right after we buffed - otherwise I was attacking nonstop with him. Geting too close to Cygnus does not cause aggro on me. I can attack on top of Empress (taking touch damage) without causing aggro to mess up.
Mercedes' don't have a difficult time getting past the minions if you are halfway competent (which is a stretch nowadays for a lot of people).

On a side not, I am astonished at the amount of threads (basil) asking for tips on "how to PB/cyg as a phantom/mercedes" when there are SO MANY guides/threads/videos that explain every aspect in detail and would take one google search to find.

Also, CrazyForDex was talking about my post where I was unlucky with respawns/seal/stun and died seven times. Not me duoing with Carlos.

Were you using the knockback lock or just attacking during animations and crash? I didn't think it was possible for two people to do enough damage to her with the DR spam. If you were KB locking, were you attacking while Carlos was using Mille?

In any case I've looked for guides/explanations on how to Empress and really didn't find very much. The only "guide" on basil is junk and really only gives a few helpful things like Oz glitch and some basic timings. I was better off looking up info on MapleArchive for the most part.

Try using videos of solos/duos on YouTube. Incredibly helpful and packed with tips if you know how to look for them.

-shrug- all I'm saying is that the KB locking provided by the Phantom's Carte Noir is what made the duo, which is pretty much still a solo since it wouldn't be possible with a combination of any classes without a Phantom in the mix at our current GMS standards. Plus its really easy to attack from far away since Ishtar has some good range on it. I'm only saying this because that's how I get a solo done. Capped Mille doesn't cause KB; Carte Noir does however.

I don't get why you're so adamant about saying it was a solo.
I was there on my Mercedes providing not negligent DPS; if it was just Carlos attacking we both don't think he could have soloed.
Yes, it's easy to attack far away, but why waste time moving when attacking up close changes literally nothing?

We all get that you can solo Cygnus on your phantom. Congratulations. We needed two people to take her down, and we publicized it. Of course people will congratulate it on a forum where no one else has posted it. Post your solos if you really want the attention.

I'm just trying to see if you guys used the KB lock on it or not really, that's what I've been asking since my first response to the duo. Like I'd really love to see a video of this because I know tons of people who have been trying to do duos and solo outside of the Phantom class or Phantoms who can't cap on Mille and would probably benefit from the information you can provide.

Yes. It was used.
You did not ask if it was used in your first post, you said phantoms can solo easily and that I was a nuisance that made "soloing" more difficult.

Phantoms can solo Empress easy with the card KB glitch. I'm pretty sure that for the most part of that duo it was just the Phantom doing all the work as getting too close to Cygnus would cause her to aggro on to you. Mercedes have a difficult time just getting past the minions.

PLEASE someone confirm this familiar gives 2x drop. :3

Found it in a shop for 100m, looked too good to be true, but hey, I had mesos.

Edit: Thank you so very much.

[DarkForgeJ]

-snip-

Yes it's

Small = 20% for mesos and items (Non existant) for Mesos OR items
No text = 40% for mesos and items, 50% for Mesos OR items
Large = 60% for mesos and items, 100% for Mesos OR items.

I was content with being the last in our guild to get the card, but everyone else on the run dc'd or died haha.

[x3repentance]

I never thought i could achieve such damages with my chain lightning.

[Penngguin]

Yeah,yeah, I'm a bad person. I jumped the gun and bought a few extra tickets. I know we have until the 24th (I think), but I had the cash from selling my boots and didn't want to waste (all of) it before I had the chance to get totems. So.. WHOOOOOOOO.

Totems, check.

[Abrasive]

First legit empress kill in khaini

[iiPodTouchMe]

Mastery it still at lvl 10 so damage is all over the place, Cheating in dark sight but realised i only need a little more boss and PDR to hit cap all the time

[IllegallySane]

I was willing to pay 150m for my bossing skill. Thanks, Imagine!

[Vanderlust]

The deed is finally done. I now have a happy conscience in this game knowing I completed my original task level capping a character.

Red Leafs run: Over 200
Keys bought: ~$50 worth
Reaching level 200: Priceless
