[MapleStory Kronos] First Night Lord Normal Kaling Solo

Shoutout to Daabin/Crab/Nate for buffing me these last two days to help me get the clear. Special shoutout to Tien for motivating me to go for this, had peeped his practice runs for the last week or so and decided that I'd go for it after seeing him get extremely close (he's clearing next for sure).

Lots of people were asking me to go for it this event since I had just recently hit on enough gear to be strong enough to try it (have been bricked pitched & eternals from 2022-2024). I used to be around ~30% fd behind the luckiest NL's so I didn't have the damage to go for it last year like I would've hoped but still glad I was able to be the first NL to do it in Kronos.

This boss is for sure the toughest for NL's to solo and probably a lot of other classes due to the unique mechanics and challenges it presents in each phase. Particularly for NL it's difficult in P3 since you have to kite Kaling as far as possible to properly burst each of the perils due to marks targeting Kaling (will be fixed in a later patch), while maintaining your HP/strings while crossing back and forth and constantly damaging to keep pace on Kaling's hp checkpoints. We also don't have a 0 cooldown dash to dodge everything we see on demand so it's slightly more challenging. Took 10 attempts total outside of damage testing/pacing tests with most of my fails coming in P3.

Now that I've got at least somewhat equal footing on gear compared to the luckiest players I'm hoping I'll be able to upload more content soon.
