Just curious what people are soloing this in? Back before MAG before my cast was capped it took me between 25-30mins on him. Now after MAG I seem to be running pretty static 18-20min runs. And I just got my killer shot to 21 so ill see how that helps when I get back on.

My fastest was 14 minutes, average is 16-18 or so, depending on the map.

I don't really remember my time with my group, but I think it was around 21 minutes? I don't really enjoy soloing so I'm usually with a few people running missions for s ranks.

But if I were to solo, it'd probably be around 30-40 minutes, due to my lvl and improperly geared (in terms of weapons). ^^;

Yeah I was usually doing around 18-20 mins and only using beast once (at the 3 grinna betas). It does depend on the map though, rare maps are the fastest because there's no grinna betas at the end. I'm working on getting a few helpful NPC cards on my cast now, so we'll see how much faster it is with paradi.

Spoilers:

Zagenga + Killer Shot
Paradi on last spawn

Majarra then Grav Shot on boss.

Skip all possible enemies, and you should be able to get your solo runs in the 15-20 minutes range.

Well, 17 minutes with my AF, though that was pre-Chikki nerf. Now, it's probably something like 22, though I haven't done a DG run since then.

About 20 minutes as well, but i dont usually do this mission anymore.

well I did 2 runs today with my killer shot level 21 now and got 16mins the first run and 18mins the second run. Anyone running faster than that have tips?

Here's what I usually do...

robots = killershot lv 21
soldiers = Zagenga lv 28
grinna betas = Boma Riga lv 26 ( I have boma duranga lv 20 but I dont like using it because then I go onto the boss without many trimates)

Magas Base = Grav fury lv 40 / ult Dag pa lv 20 (is there a faster way and no I don't MGG the boss, I find the MG very damaging for DPS on him)
Magas Arms = Grav Shot lv 18

I usually use Paradi Cataract on the first spawn of soldiers on the 2nd block (If i have it) and then on the big spawn of soldiers in the 2nd block right before the 3 grinna beta's. Then I usually use paradi Cataract once on the boss.

try using majarra until you knock maggas' base off then shoot the torso. i use grav fury/pa dagger on beats. i have twin grav 38 on twin rubys i used that shoot his torso, faster dmg than rifle. pretty much at the mercy of the randomness of killer shot. you just gave me motivation to level it from 30 to 31. kudos. oh yeah, stun/resist makes him pretty laughable.

LOL

I only 1 variation of that map and that's with the 4 bots at the start

It has no rifle guys that cast resta and if I carry 9 rifles with KS lvl 40 as I normally do, I can finish it 15 minutes tops including the boss.

Level 40 Dark Shot on a 6/10 grinded RS = 1000 HP per shot.

I've mastered the short run on DG S2...it just took me a couple of months to figure it out.

You mean the 2nd map here? (http://boards2.sega.com/psu_board/viewtopic.php?p=842686#842686) Yeah I avoid that one, slowdown=30+min runs :-x

Anyone running faster than that have tips?like most things in this game... it's mostly down to levelling your PAs up. you can do it in like 15 mins and under with a killer shot approaching lv30. probably quicker when it gets up near 40. despite what some people say i actually do think killer shot's success rate really improves the higher you level it. i noticed most improvement around lv28ish

I don't have slowdown issues with DG... only GoF.

That was at Lv120/15 with Sturm Attacker and a Storm + Grav Hit, was hunting Rattlesnake lulz.

I can probably do 14 minutes or less with Paradi Cataract, Rattlesnake + Grav Shot and Lv130/20.

No better advice than GreenArcher's can be given.

Soloing I can usually finish the mission in 20-30 minutes but in a party about <15 minutes.

16 mins as fT.
Duoing with random friend about 14 mins. I did 12 mins with 2 friends just like an hour ago or so.
I remember I once had a party with 6 fT, it was like a light show.. it was so fast. lol I think it was 8 mins or under.

14-22 minutes solo for me depending on spawns and how fickle KS wants to be. Duo I usually get 12 mins.

Bee map, so I used KS the most. With the regular maps the average time is around 13-15 mins.

KS for bots.
Twin Dark for Spec Ops.
Virus Trap G + Boma Duranga for Grinnas.
Grav Shot for Maggahna.
PM for meatshield. :p
