PUP has an easy system to solo VD Kam'lanaut (requires SP1 so... yeah, every 45 mins I guess).
Fire, Thunder, Light maneuvers.
Wear Pet DD stuff on master (OD version)
Valor head, Sharp body.
And this attachment combination:
Depending on the type of "wheel" he uses, there are times you might fail (OD ends with Kam still alive eh...), usually it works flawlessly. In the runs I did today so far I won with over 1,5 mins left on OD, to give an idea.
And I don't even have Xiucoatl, which I suppose would make this even faster.
I usually go /WHM for Dia2 and apply TH4 with that.

I wanna beat this fight on vd regardless of if the new drops come from it
irc light blade was blockable with shadows?
Any non pup strats out there?
Also does anyone else see Aita as a recolor of this guy?

Fu now I can't unsee it.

Meanwhile I'm at 5 kills on this guy, no drop whatsoever.
Normally I'd be leaning to say you have to do something outside of the fight, like trading items to a ??? or npc, but the fact there's no new dialogues mined from the patch would lead me to believe that's not the case.
Anybody got any clue so far?
I tried trading the Kam sword and shield to the new Moogle NPC in Metalworks but nothing happens.

The Master Trials version, every single move can be blocked with shadows. NIN might be ideal, and he may be vulnerable to silence (Tachi: Gekko from GKT, Levante Dagger offhand), I think he casts magic. RDM is probably another good one with Addle and enfeebles. You just have to move out of fetters when they spawn. You probably could also just helix/afk him, as he's one of the very older HTBFs, so even on VD he doesn't have a lot of health. Guessing he would die to SCH helix MB in about like 5min due to how dated he is.

It was before they said "no drops will be different"
It's still going to be related to it, just unfound so far. All my chars are on zm zero.
"I'm wrong but still right"
Yeah...we already knew it would be related, duh? "How" was unclear. The original post did in fact say drops would not be different, which is why the initial discussion created some confusion. Before you posted that graphic.

I said they'd come from that event 2 days before they even announced the event.
It's called a guess.

Don't exist yet. They'll add them in htmb for a special event in like a week.
Probably. "the Jueno in the spotlight" thing
We'll find out saturday.

There are some similarities between Hades first form and Kamlanaut, though. They're both lanky boys that float in the air, and they both change the elements they absorb based on the stance/TP moves they use.
But ultimately Kam is larger, lankier, and has completely different animation set.
They're totally different models, no idea what you're looking at Jinxs xD. One has a sword and shield with armor and long hair, the OG superman. Degei/Aita/Hades is just a floating hume with wings. I don't see any similarities in their model at all besides the fact that they float.

I guess we're all at that age where we need more eye exams.

It's a race of floating humanoids

You'll likely also want a strategy for dealing with fetters. It doesn't take much of a nuke to kill them but you do need elemental damage of all elements. I remember doing this in a group once as SMN/SCH and my /SCH nukes could one-shot them.

Started already according to /servmes.
Can confirm HTBC has same drops. This was on VD.

Go in and zerg works fine with a full party. Solo probably the usual suspects, pup rdm sch maybe smn?
Helix and patience might work (i think you'll risk timing out?), but sch nukes don't do a lot on him.
I think 1 helix did over 10% though.
His moves are pretty nasty.
Ranged/pet damage is the way to go .

Hint: Do damage to him til he dies before he does enough damage to have you die.
Thanks for coming to my Ted talk

For the ilvl weapons, presumably.
I give it even odds the new ilvl stuff has nothing to do with the event and the timing is just Fujito trolling us.
Are people really asking how to handle a 2013 HTMB???
DD DD THF* BRD GEO WHM and melt it
*optional, but I've opted in to it just incase it matters, otherwise replace with COR
literally the strat for this fight

Edit: Plus some people enjoy knowing the strategy for fights even if they do have the power to just overwhelm it in a full party.

Was one of the nastiest HTBC in the HTBC era, too. Don't think a whole lot of people were doing VD on release, I remember trying quite a few strategies and never getting it to feel totally reliable.

There is 12 years of power creep. This fight even predates ilvl relic. I'm not saying ilvl relic is great, I'm just saying thats how old this fight is.
And yes, I wholeheartedly agree that back in 2013/2014 this fight was a PITA. But its not 2013/2014. They've added UNM equipment and its augments, Ambuscade equipment, Odyssey equipment, 119+3 versions of AF/Relic/Emp.

Yaegesumi SAM with 39 prebuffs (door locking buffs still worked in that time frame) and SMN alexander was 100% win in era
PLD and 2 rng/nin, the meta for literally every htmb in era worked too
PLD and 2 rng/nin, the meta for literally every htmb in era worked too
RUN/NIN tank keeping Foil up made Light Spear miss quite often and Utsusemi blocking Great Wheel to avoid getting hate reset with Inspiration keeping recast low was how I did it back then. Then all DDs sub nin to avoid Great Wheel damage and someone on Stun duty for spells to avoid fetters from popping.
No one has found ilvl Kamlanaut stuff yet??
