Preparing for a HT run.

FOR A FIRST-TIME VIPER GOING TO HORNTAIL!

Yeah~ TK and I are going together on Saturday and neither of us has ever gone. lmao

I can help Dennis with the preparation quests, so that's not a problem with the Manon thing. All I need is a guide to stay alive during HT and retain my usefulness.

Will I need HB when my HP is 8.3k base? Do I do anything besides spam Demolition / Dragon Strike + Rapid Fist?

I have the general idea of when to attack what and when to go in after the seduce mules, but during the actual full HornTail, I'm not sure where my placement is, other than Wind Booster / Time Leap mule.

The preliminary heads are pretty straightforward, so I'll skip over that.

Once you start the main Horntail body, you'll start off at the left side of the legs while ranged parties kill the tail. You'll need HB for this part only (so if your DK disconnects afterwards, you'll be fine still), but legs do around up to 10k damage if I recall correctly, not counting touch. After legs and tail are down, you'll just move along with everyone else. You're pretty much an attacker unless bishops need Time Leap, in which case you'll have to leave party and join a new one to use that on bishops. If you're on the bottom when monsters (wyverns, cornians) are summoned, you can probably take them out with a Dragon Strike. Oh, and towards the end when only arms are left, expect to be seduced. Besides that, it's pretty straightforward for you.
