Kritsan's ship
The article says his ship will be a Harbinger, but I encountered him in a Prophecy - has it been changed or is this a random occurence? smintili 12:17, 31 January 2013 (GMT)
Soloing
Managed to solo him in a decently equipped Coercer, with 8 turrets, at a combined DPS of 53.4 (128 EM, 56 Thermal), and a range of 32km.
Seems to me his critical weakness is a reliance on that remote drain; without it, he can't regen his armor anywhere nearly as quickly.
Can anyone confirm? If so, the trick for easily soloing him is to just stay out of range of that drain. --Aman Chipri 17:47, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
1 day old char solo Kritsan Parthus in a RIFTER
1 day old char with 120k skill points, killed him in my Rifter in two runs without dying and here's how:
FIT:
3 x 200mm Light 'Scout' Autocannon I / 1x Small 'Knave' Energy Drain
1x 1MN Y-S8 Compact Afterburner / 1x Small Peroxide Capacitor Power Cell / 1x Small F-RX Prototype Capacitor Boost
1x 'Spiegel' EM Plating I / 1x 'Refuge' Adaptive Nano Plating I / 1x 200mm Rolled Tungsten Compact Plates
3x Small Ancillary Current Router
1000x Republic Fleet EMP S / 100x Cap Booster 25
- This fit is cap stable.
STRATEGY:
Warp in and immediately activate the Afterburner, burn for Kritsan, target him and orbit at 500m, leave your Afterburner running. Activate the 'Knave' Energy Drain on Kritsan and allow his escort rookie ships to close within 10km. While orbiting Kritsan target and destroy the escorts. At some point Kritsan activates his Neut on you and when that happens activate your Cap Booster, don't worry: You won't cap out. You may have to warp out once for repairs as I did, if so do that and warp back in, activate Afterburner and burn for Kritsan, orbit at 500m same as before. Destroy the remaining escorts in the same way (which are the only DPS you have to worry about -- Kritsan cannot hit you) and when the final escort rookie ship is destroyed deactivate your Afterburner and click the orbit (500m) button once again, this brings you in a little closer to Kritsan for maximum damage. He pops in about four minutes.
