Soloed at level 50
Flashback on my first solo CJ: I soloed the CJ on my soundless - 126 laff at BW 29 and successfully won with a laff boost at BW 30. There were 3 cannons to choose from and I seated 4 toons.
Now I soloed the CJ on my 129 toon-upless at BW 50 with no Presentation and Geyser. Some things changed.
Cannons
For my first solo, I had 3 cannons to choose from, but why did I have 2 in this one? Blinky Trickyspinner II was at level 29 when he had 3 cannons but since I maxed him, I tried a practice run at level 50, and I only had a choice of one cannon. Now I try the same thing on BT who is 129 also and I have 2 cannons on the SIDES not one in the middle? Did my gags affect the number of cannons? Or was it my cog summon's count? Either way, it should be only one cannon. So if my gags affected the amount of cannon's, they could possibly affect other things as well.
I was excited to recieve 5 bonus weight from seating 5 Shopekeeper Toons. I used the same stragety from the left side doing the 2 step. Once the hight was low, I would run from the front, shoot a couple, then once the cogs were about to hit me, I ran close to the scale to finish my remaning evidence. Scale time was about the same as my last solo (25 minutes) even though I had an extra cog cause I had 5 weight bonus.
Added to Post #1
I have added all my strageties.
Avoiding Evidence
You start with 22 evidence at level 50. Run to the left side but not half way to the scale. Shoot 6 evidence or until the cogs are ready to hit you. Then take 2 steps to the left and aim at the scale. Repeat until your out. You can also jump while turning left which is easier.
Choosing the Middle Cannon
Wait unti'll 26 seconds before shooting. Aim your cannon on the bottom left cog. If you know you'll miss the first shot, start at 30. This is how I seated 5 toons and just a half a second before a 6th toon. But the point is, the cogs can't retake your seat in 26 seconds but can in 30. So the magic number for them to retake is 27-29 seconds.
After you make your first shot, move the arrow key to the right. DON'T adjust the height. The Jury Stand moves slowly backwards so its like adusting it for you. When you get to the 4th cog, you'll have to adjust the height a little bit higher.
Stunning the 10th Cog
The 10th cog is the most distraction cog since his evidence dosn't always time with the others and his way out of your view range. If you really can't avoid all the evidence that fly at you, you can stun the 10th cog and shoot from far range ONLY when the scale is half way down.
Gigantic Gavels
How many of you do this? I jump over the handles of the gravels to save time and avoid being a standing target waiting for the handle to lift. Its acually hard. I can't make it everytime but if you mess up, its only 2 hit damage.
Cog Round
You can beat half the cogs with only level 7 gags if you have them all. You'll need to use sos cards for the next half wave. They changed this a while ago but if you still don't know, drop sos cards don't hit lured cogs anymore.
Cogs Speed
On CcE's practice run, he mentioned that the cogs kept throwing the evidence faster and faster. If this was true, you'd have to solo the CJ fast. After going on a few 2-man practice runs, we observed and figured out that the cogs have a speed pattern. Heres how it goes:
They start by throwing they're first evidence in 6 seconds. Then they throw again in 5 then 4..3..and finally they refill in ONLY 2 seconds! At 2 seconds this is when the CJ jumps and resets the pattern. The cogs throw from 6 seconds again. Pretty intresting.
