After finishing my hammer I decided to make a first attempt at a boat 6 Hero solo:

This video is mostly Heavy Warrior, as I had no idea it was going to take that long to down him. Even playing a little more aggressively I don't think I can kill him in under 4 minutes with my current setup. That means avoiding him, however avoiding him also means more named mobs....

I'm not really sure what to make of BH yet as that was the first time I've gotten to him solo on Hero, and the second time I've seen him on Hero. The trans in there was more of a mistake as HW would not die...and I decided to continue it, even with no armor and little campfire buff =D.

With 30 minutes on the clock I may be able to do it, assuming full camp buff, no armor, and a trans. I've seen videos of Fionas soloing Larken before, however you can counter him and get stun...not so much with BH. I'd hate to think this solo is going to be a giant gear check, as I have no idea how I'm going to get more att/balance without forcing my raiders (which is super expensive).

Crazy crits O_o and your "current setup" is better than most Fionas I've seen, maybe it's just HW being... heavy in HP? And BH on solo hero is... quite a killer, from what I can see. And how much def and HP did you have? Might help to determine the... difficulty? of surviving BH's hits.

I have no idea what Heavy's deal is, but he is well deserved of that name on Hero =D. I could probably take more chances, but that slow little kick he does is super damaging (600+ damage a hit), so I tended to turtle a bit more than usual.

As for BH, I have no idea how I am going to approach him. The way I died caught me off-guard, I was not prepared for him to chain the overhead two-hit into the now ultra fast three hit like that. The only time I can see for safe attacking is after the three hit, and that's going to be so tedious it isn't even funny.

I currently have 2300 HP max and 5.4K DEF. Judging from the way I died, I can take two hits from BH as they do what looks like 1.3K damage each. What this means is there is no reason for me to have potions (other than maybe mercs) as I won't have time to pot if I get hit. I'll obviously need them for the mobs up to Hammer though.

Speaking of mobs, I was thinking today that he summons them periodically. If they are named, the battle could go from hard to an utter nightmare. I can only imagine a few stoneskins standing under hammer as he flies around like an 80 lb ballerina.
