Guild Wars 2

I’m fairly sure that the Karka Queen can be easily (slowly) be defeated with three players, and probably by two. But, is possible to beat KQ alone? Any advices about class and builds?

I think your main problem might be getting her dead in the time frame. There should be tones of builds able to kill her, just need enough defensive cooldowns.

Not sure how she scales on solo player. You do have to kill her 2 times after all.

I’d accept the challenge if it weren’t for that timer getting in the way.

Problem #2:
How are you going to keep away all the other players that want a piece of her?

I’ve got a tanky character that can solo a champion karka, but it would take about a thousand years. I don’t know how much more damage it does than a champ, but I wouldn’t call it impossible…though I wouldn’t expect either having sole access to it or being able to do it in 15 minutes to be. It would also be very hard for a lone player in the first phase to pelt it with eggs faster than it can restore its armor, which would make it even slower for a tanky character.

The Champ at Camp Karka can be soloed and I think nearly everyone agrees it’s typically more difficult to kill. But in practice, I don’t think it will ever happen as the game is currently structured:

• You have to have all four settlements controlled first.
• There can’t be anyone else on the map who wants in on the fight (and its loot).
• You’ll need to whittle down at least some of the protection by throwing eggs — that reduces DPS substantially and the lack of scaling might give you fewer eggs to toss.
• You have a mere 15 minutes.

Put another way, I can imagine it’s possible; I just doubt anyone will ever have the opportunity to try it, let alone do it successfully.

Soloing all 4 Prevents within 8 minutes (approx pre-event respawn) and getting her to spawn in the first place would be quite an accomplishment in and of itself I would think.

No.

Many group events have a minimum scaling. The event won’t scale under that.

For example, each boss in the Queen’s Pavillion had a minimum scaling of about 10 players. Under that they would lose little health and power from downscaling. Making them best done with about 8-12 players based on the damage potential of their builds.

It looks to me the queen has a minimum scaling of at least 15. Possibly even more. And if her minimum scaling is less than that, then the range of her event must be huge, considering lots of people either within Southsun or the entire meta-event.
