Soloing Bodyguard A and B

Hello folks! My question is if I am able to solo Bodyguard A and B?
I'm a lvl 124 Paladin, with max Blast, ACB and Divine shield and 1 in the rest important skills. I have a range of 9000-9600.
If I cannot, what would be a good level to do it? Thanks
P.S. This is EMS

Just did a full solo on my 150 pally last night, I didn't think I'd be able to hit the 3rd boss at all, seemed to be about 50% or so. I'd say you could solo the first 2 as early as 140/145.

this means i just need to get to a reasonable level (and have the necessary skills, ofc)? but do I have to use Power Guard to survive, or could I turn it off to evade the damage reflect bug?

[quote=ssj3500]I can take you with on a run some time if you want to test the accuracy, they give great exp. Level 150+ is recommended to solo A and B, 170+ for the boss. I think its fire and lightning for a and the boss, ice and lightning for b. Add KamiNoYoroi if you want to duo some time.[/quote]
Thanks for the offer, though I play on EMS
I've just encountered the Power Guard damage reflect bug.. which disconnects you o.O it was while I was doing Czak... is not using it AT ALL the only way to avoid it?

Thanks for the input people! I'll stick to Pap and PQs then just passed guardian 20, so by the time i'll be high enough in level, ill have Stance maxed as well
also, just out of curiosity: on BGA, should i use just fire charge (since he's weak to fire) or both charges? same applies to BGB, but ice instead of fire

Minimum recommended level of 150 for Bodyguards. Surviving is not an issue, it'd just take [i]really[/i] long to kill them, whether it's due to missing, low damage, not as many skills maxed, or just BGA's stun-happy attacks.

What level are they in EMS? In GMS they're like level 140 and 150, so if it's the same in EMS then the answer is probably not yet.
I know that when Bodyguard A, B, and Grandpa were glitched in GMS so they did not attack, it took my Paladin friend ~20 minutes to kill them with a 22k range. This was before 6 hit Blast. He was lv170 I think.

everyone can solo bgs, it's just a matter of time..

for reference, i duoed the bgs and the big boss with my viper friend. i had around 11k i think, while he had 22/25k (can't rmb). we took all 3 of them down in... idk half an hour? i can't remember the specific time but it was quite alright, not too long. so i'd suggest either doing it with a party or getting better equips before you go bg if you wish not to waste your time.

also, i'd suggest a high level of stance and guardian. those will really help you because the bgs and the boss really KB like crazy.. guardian is especially helpful because you don't get stunned as much (but just stand on top of the bgs to avoid stuns better). killing the boss is much easier relatively for paladins because it has a lower hp. the problem is that it 1/1s A LOT and does insane damage, which is not so bad for paladins. so if u can kill the bgs, just continue killing the boss.

WAIT i think your level is too low. sorry. bgs are like 150 i think, the boss is 175. yeah... level up more?
