30-10-2011 07:15 Soloing Vanaduke in Spiral Knights
When you wanna get Vanaduke solo - prepare for a long accurate fight with many preparations.

Best weapon for him - Blitz Needle (its reduces fight time on a half or even more).
Actually, if you have Blitz, you dont need any other weapon at all.
Its good if you have Shivermist, with it you can freeze Vana and do anything behid his back (clean fires for example).
Good if you have Divine Avenger - with it you can take out zombies at 1,2 and 4 stages.

For Defence - shield with normal/elementall defence (ancient, volcanic), fire trinkets (or stun, if you have good fire resist anyway), armor with normal/elemental/fire.

At first phase it easy to evade and attack Vana.
Good to attack him with fast sword (Barbarous Thorn Blade, Cold Iron Vanquisher, even Barbarous Thorn Blade). But if you use sword here - first you need to get zombies (its easy dont notice them when you hit vana, so theres more danger from them).
Thought if you shoot Vana - you may noy pay attention to them. If you running circles around Vana - at the end zombies just go to him and youl be out reach of their attacks.

Using Blitz - theres main and only tactick, you charge weapon, running around Vana, then wait for his attack, and shoot. Then repeat.

Most hard situations - when Vana stand in corner, or close to the wall, so you cant run full circle around him.
When that happend, you still can evade his attacks, but theres always risk that he catch you.
Only safe solution there - lure him out.
To do that - you need to make fey runs near the opposite wall (but dont come near corners). Usually Vana just make few steps at your direction. Sometimes he charges, but he cant slide thru all room so you lure him out anyways.

At start of stage 2 you have two choices.
1) If zombies from first stage still alive - firstly you need to take them out.
2) If zombies dead - you need to take water fast and throw it at the mask.
At this stage more easy to take water from top fountains and throw it at the 45 degree down. Also try to stand at the opposite side of the room from mask.
After you hit mask with water, come closer, take diagonal position from it, and attack.

At stage 3, firstly you need to deal with the fire cells. To do that - dont attack Vana at all. Run around him, wait till he attack, then take water and continue running aroun him with water in your hands. Take out all fire cells leave only that appear in the top side of the room. Continue till fire cells stop appearing at all.
Only after that - start attack Vana.

Remember - when Vana seen you in corner, he probably charge (and if he catch you there - its 100% death) so take water only when he attacks and throw water only at his next strike.

At phase 4 - its too dangerous to hit mask with sword, so use only ranged weapon from the maximum distance. Also make sure, you locked HUD. Its very easy to accidentaly click on one of the menu buttons there.
At this phase, fires going from the 90 and 45 degrees from mask and top side of the room covered with fire cells.
You need to be sure that you accidetaly dont clean fire cells so take fire at bottom fountains and throw it almost gorizontally 20-30 degrees when mask at the opposite side of the room.

At phase 5 - you mostly just need to repeat stage 3 strategy (clean fires, than running around). If you keep running - slug guards will always miss, but its more safe to stand at the bottom of the area when you attack Vana.
