Pianus summons

So I know that before Arans came out you had to deal 10k damage to them (in one hit) for them not to explode and do 10k damage. Is their knockback 10k, and if so is that why they don't explode? I ask this since I have actually been a little scared to go to pianus since my first hit has a pretty high chance of not hitting 10k to the bombs and Arans don't have the HP to survive an explosion. I have done one pianus so far, but I just hugged the body anyways.

If they are like firebombs (the ones on the way to zakum, that explode) They simply explode when they are at a certain percentage of their HP. So dealing a fatal hit eliminates the possibility.

I'll attach my own question here: When is a good time to try and solo a pianus on my F/P? I tried it some days ago and it just seems like he is always on super magic defense =P. About 70% of the time I can't attack.

I think if you do any damage lower than 10k they explode, so yeah.

They don't act like that. You can stand on pianus bombs and as long as you don't hit them they won't explode.

Well, that sucks, I was hoping 10k was their knockback and that is why they didn't explode. If this was true then i could feel safe since I have smart knockback.

I'm not positive, but I had always heard that doing 5 to 10k to the bombs would make them blow up on you. More than 10k or less than 5k and you're fine.

Well, assuming that they will blow up on me, does anyone have a picture that coudl show me how far they can hit me from? I love pianus, but I am scared of the summons with an Aran. :/

Well they start with 10k hp, and they explode when they drop under 50% so effectively the same thing. If you hit them twice for 4k they'll blow up on you for example.

They only explode when they have less than 50% of their hp but are still alive. Couldn't you attack pianus normally and hug the body when bombs spawn, destroy them, and get off the body to continue attacking? Also you have free safety charms now, so I don't see the harm in experimenting around. Bomb explosion range isn't too long, I think. If triple swing has longer horizontal range than double swing, why not try swinging at air and finishing them with the over 10k damage on triple swing.

I would recommend using Combo Smash while inside the body to clear out bombs.

Just a bad streak of luck. You can go anytime when you're able to do decent damage against Pianus (10k+). I know I was able to solo Pianus on my F/P when it was 10x.
