This is a solo run done in
Wild ARMS 4. As the name
implies, a solo run is one
where you run through it with
only one character. However,
Wild ARMS 4 revives all your
dead allies after battle and
there's no way to remove them
from the party permanently. As
such, in the design process,
Talaysen and I set up the
rules as follows:

- Characters other than the
solo character can only Guard
or Move. They are not allowed
to take any other action.
-Characters other than the
solo character must be level
10 or under. To do this, you
need to Monopoly Gourd. So in
exchange for faster level up
gains, you sacrifice one
accessory slot and three
characters.
-Characters other than the
solo character must use their
initial equipment. No Alter
Parts may be used for Jude's
ARM.
- No items that can be only
gotten through New Game+ carry
overs can be used. This last
rule is to ensure you don't go
into battles with Sheriff
Stars equipped at the
beginning of the game. It is
not meant to be a 'hard' rule.
But you should try to follow
what is reasonable for where
you are in the game.

To do a solo game, it has to
be done in a new game+. It is
the only way to have access to
the Monopoly Gourd in the
beginning. Using this, we keep
other characters' levels in
check (read: low!).

Ow. You would think after one
hard fight that you would get
a break. Miscreation is a
total and complete bastard.
You can't play a range game
against him since his Stone
Bullet really hurts and he
constantly makes you move by
using poison. Antidotes don't
really work on a solo since
having one character heal the
HEX, only to have the status
reapplied afterwards (and
possibly taking damage too if
you get double turned) isn't a
winning idea. On top of that,
he can counter with Stone
Bullet. So what do we do?

Blitz him down and pray that
Stone Bullet never happens.
Easier said than done. There
is no way for Arnaud to deal
Raquel level damage normally.
And gems are starting to fade
in damage superiority even
with set up. Although for the
moment, they still manage and
are better than standard
Blasts.

You can't predict when he will
counter, but at least you can
control openings that are safe
for you to hit him with. Move
close to him so Miscreation
can use his physical, then
hope your evasion kicks in
when he does since he's just
given you a free turn in those
cases. Jump away from Poison
HEXes as much as possible
since you want to minimize the
damage you're taking. And on
top of everything else, slow
him down. You don't need or
want to eat 3 Stone Bullets in
a row.

I finish the fight with a
whopping 72 HP left.

Set up:
Level 16.
Weapon - Steel Edge
Armor - Cotton Garb
Accessory - Monopoly Gourd
