I don't know a ton about it myself, but I can tell you this much: Your team comp matters more when soloing than it does when playing normally, believe it or not. You're gonna live or die by the support passives you can trigger.
But other than that, most of the same basic strats still apply. Clash high, defend against what you can't beat, and only let the weakest or least-crippling attacks go unopposed and undefended. Not being able to redirect downward is gonna be a problem, of course. I don't know how the game decides attack order when you're soloing, but that's probably an important part of the strategy.
Some Identities are perfect for solo.
Ishmael Molar Boatworks has strong Evade. She can do it with 0 Sanity Points.
Rodion Dieci Assoc.iation gains Shield by Discard.
Hong Lu K CORP. gains K CORP. Ampule to heal.
Ishmael Zwei gains Defense Level Up to take less damage & Defensive Stance makes her immuned to Stagger.
Zwei Gregor was soloing before Zweishmael even released. It's what he does best, especially with Zwei Faust and Zwei South Sinclair on the bench.
Soloing Blubbering Toad with Suncliff is fun. Soloing Kqe with Mariachi Sinclair is not.
G Gregor : heal 5 HP per clash win (Glut)
Base Gregor : heal 5 HP at the start of combat phase (Gloom)
Chef Gregor: heal 5 HP at the start of combat phase (Lust)
Chef Ryo : heal 15hp per turn on kill (Lust)
Don Lantern: heal 4 HP per hit with the slot that have Aggro (obviously only works on characters with Aggro) (Glut)
TT Hong Lu: +20% damages with Head Coins (Glut)
Base Meursault: -10% damages taken (Sloth)
Zwei Sinclair (the bad one): -10% damages taken (Gloom)
BL Outis: +30% damages to enemies under 25% HP (Pride)
Base Outis: +30% damages to enemies under 0 SP (Sloth)
slash/pierce/blunt damages boosters
etc...
(I hope Barber Outis will have and non glut/lust passive)
As you can see, a character with Glut and Lust will have a easier time
Another thing to know is that you can change your sin affinity depending on what EGO you use, can be useful to change a x2 sin damage taken to 1/0.75
The most important thing is probably knowing where to go depending on your weaknesses (slash/pierce/blunt especially), sadly it's not really explicit in game so having a spreadsheet/guide on hand will help (I think one exists somewhere).
Avoid elites, focused encounters are usually better since you can choose what to clash with and piss easy with evade characters. Boss events can be done depending on your character's weaknesses, usually it's better to avoid them. Avoid floors with bleed enemies (mostly N corp floors)
Rupture gifts 1 and 2 are probably the best to start, free Haste and Damage Up every turn
You need a bunch of specific support passives
You need a max ID
You need Starlight buffs
You need AOE EGOs
You need healing and sin generation EGO Gifts
And you need to remember which floor contains what. Even good solo setup can die to random bleed node
Easiest solo ID for now is probably Zwei Ishmael. No need for serious prep or planning, just start with survival/healing passives, get some healing ego gifts and take floor packs that deal blunt/slash. Throw in some resource generation gifts and you're set.
No, she is tedious af to solo with, since she has no AOE attacks and can't fuel her aoe egos with that kit.
I mean, seriously, it's just torturing yourself. Any meaningful solos (I mean hard mirror dungeon ones) will require you to have very specific ID's and they must be max uptie and lvl 45. And more often than not, you will need 11 other sinners at UT3 minimum, so they provide good support passives. You will literally HAVE TO level up some outdated and obsolete S1 id's just for their support passives, as they are crucial to the solo runs. Considering you're new, relatively, I will presume between half year and year in the game, then you're likely lacking enough ID's to do it, unless you're whaling. And not to mention endless re-runs because you weren't lucky with starting gifts, and restarting the fights at floor 1 because your ID decided to lose all his clashes. So, just, listen - don't.
However, if this rant didn't stop you, then you might take a look at certain ID's. People here mentioned Zwei Ishmael, which is currently available, but the true king of solos is Erlking Heathclif, but he is unavailable rn. Ignores stagger, has AOE attacks, has insane speed, great clashes, solid EGO, S3 Nuke, and he also has 4 colors at his disposal, which makes it easier for him to trigger support passives. Taking into account that sinking is probably the most busted status in the game, you might need him to actually enjoy solo content. Others, like Zwei Ishmael, Zwei Gregor, maybe Deici Rodion and Kong, or anything with good evade can do it too. But it will be so damn tedious, you will start wishing you stopped yourself beforehand. I can also suggest maid Ryoshu, which is also currently unavailable, as she has AOE s2 and reusable S3, and sick egos in her kit. There are also some videos of people doing solo MDH with certain ID's, so it might be possible for you as well, with such things like Pirate Gregor for example.
As for support id's, I will just list the ones I use with Erlking Heathcliff, here it goes:
G-corp Gregor, 000 UT3 for his healing passive
Zwei Sinclair (The old zwei sinclair, with a batoon) UT3 00 for his 10% damage reduction
Shi Ishmael 00 UT3 for her +2 counter power passive
Chef de Cuisine Ryoshu, 000 UT3 for her heal on kill passive
Sous-chef Gregor, 00 UT3 as he able to boost the healing from Ryoshu passive (This is by the way the WORST id in the game, change my mind)
Hook Hong Lu, 00 UT3 for his attack power up passive (which might not work as it requires enemy to have bleed, and Erlcliff has no built in bleed)
Wutering Heights Butler Faust, 00 UT3 for her sanity heal passive
Wutering Heights Chef Butler Outis, 000 UT3 for her bonus clash power passive
And then base Meur, base Rodion, base Yi Sang for their passives as well
And these are just for the one ID, and they may not work all correctly, as some of them rely on me getting specific gifts from MD that give other ego resources that Erlcliff can't make on his own. Other ID's, like Zwei Ishmael, may require other iD's
In the end, it requires a ton of investment and just serves to brag on forum or boost your ego. Leave solo to the veterans and the whales, as we have piles of unused ID's and resources to uptie them and a desire to invent new ways of enjoying the game by making it deliberately harder for ourselves.
In my opinion they are. I don't find it easy to do things I don't enjoy. I don't enjoy tedious things, which are just tedious. Solo with Zwei Ish is just tedious, as I have fought everything in MDH and most of the times don't derive pleasure from running it. So yeah, it is tedious and not enjoyable, therefore hard, for me. Logic.
It's just a preference thing anyway.
Still don't see how that makes any sense, but whatever lol. A new player asked for advice about soloing since they have no idea how, and you say that Zwei Ish is tedious (how is that even related?) ...for you. But you're not a new player, are you? You don't even find running MDH fun anymore, lol, and they haven't even properly started.
Put yourself in the new player's shoes, we're not even talking meta or "the best" here, just easy or not, and Ish is exactly that.
- Prioritise E.G.O gifts with healing of sin ressource generation
- Don't be affraid of corroding
- Make sure you have unlocked enough stardust buffs
- Make sure your support passives are useful
- Ennemy damage type matter, especially on the first floor
- Avoid bleed hell
- Abuse Base/Chef./G-Corp Gregor's passive, even if it takes time
