All gear must have attack!! You need this the most. the second highest stat on the gear should be defense. In the case that you cannot find primary attack and secondary defense, you can opt for damage for secondary.
2) Auction house potions: Constitution 250 (25k gold), Force Shield 200 (100gold), Wither 350 (50kgold) (can sub for wither450)
3) Flinch 400+, Dark Curse 225+, Coordinate attack 350, Coordinate defense 350, Shield wall 500, Keen Edge 400, Arterial Strike 300, Sacrifice, Reckoning, Golden Shield, High Guard, Last Ditch, Shockwave, Stun, Super Elite Slayer, Shatter Armor, Spectral Knight Unbreakable, Side Step, Defiant, Mesmerize, Demoralize, Stalker, Epic Forge, Epic Craft, Empower, Enchant Everything (optional)
4) Bloodthirst, Poison, Ignite, Berserk, Smashing Hammer, Entrench, Barricade (You might want to remove or add these buffs if you kill too quickly or hard to kill)
5) Summon Shield Imp (you might want to spam buy this buff because it can win a fight for you and save your exp)
6) Nightmare Visage (25-175) Adjust accordingly to the SE's attack that you are fighting
7) Recommended Epic potions are Easter Egg Bottle, Glass of Eggnog or Shimmering White Opal Potion for insane exp drops. (Remove Conserve)
2225 Low HP, High attack, nmv175. Your damage >5k. One of the lowest HP SE, try to max barricade and remove berserker if you're ready.
2400 High Defense. No need for NMV. Just keep trying. Your damage >15k. Low attack but high defense means you will get a ton of combat unresolved. Wait for Mesmerize to kick in and you should be able to knock him off his feet.
2575 Medium attack, NMV100. High armor, wait for spec knight or shatter armor to proc. Your dmg >20k. Well rounded guy, just smash him with all the buffs on.
2625 High Defense. No need for NMV. Just keep trying. Your damage >15k. This guy is very similiar to Sidd, you need to wait for mesmerize to kick in to drop that defense so you can slap him silly.
2650 Medium attack, NMV100. High armor, wait for spec knight or shatter armor to proc. Your dmg >20k. The only SE with a ridiculously high armor. Wait for the armor reduction procs.
2900 NMV175. Spam purchase SSI. Your dmg >5k. He has over 400k attack, he won't miss you even if you had wings. You're gonna die a lot here but if you can hit first and activate shockwave and your buffs kick in, luck is on your side. Remember to lower damage as he has one of the lowest HP pools.
2925 NMV175. Spam purchase SSI. Your dmg >20k. You're in the big leagues now, the last few don't miss much but if you paid attention and have the proper buffs, you will only die a few times...
3000 NMV175. Spam purchase SSI. Your dmg >20k. This guy is personally my hardest to kill. It says he's drunken but he's kinda like Jackie Chan drunken, he becomes stronger and you're gonna die a lot but if you read this far you got this.
3275 NMV175. Spam purchase SSI. Your dmg >10k. One of the community favorites, lower HP pool, low defense, max your defenses with nightmare 192 if possible.
3400 NMV175. Spam Purchase SSI. Your dmg >20k. The all rounded MVP. Good luck
Final thoughts, remember to keep in mind that this is not your regular hunt. You need to get into 20 rounds of combat. Not kill the SE in the first round. Artieral Strike boost the exp gain for every round of combat therefore the lower your dmg the better for most instance. Conserve cancels Arterial Strike. Check the SE log and hunt when no one else has killed any high lvl SE for hours. (at least 12 hours for all to spawn) If you read this far, then message me in game "SE hunting is fun" and I will give you a gift. At first try or even your first twentieth try, you will die. You will keep dying but don't be discouraged because you're learning. Read the battle logs, why did you die? Did you not have enough damage to combat unresolved? Did you die because SE was able to hit you? Adjust yourself and once you get the hang, you will enjoy the sweet exp gains.
