How hard does Scarlion/Targa hit? Are runs tricky?

I have a 15x Sair that I wanted to use to get some Scar/Targa helms for for my other characters.

Looking at their stats, I should be able to solo them in a reasonable amount of time as I can do a decent amount of damage with Cannon (~500k total per cannon, 100k per individual shot X 5). The pre-quests seem easy enough too.

2 Questions though:
1) With only ~6k HP, can the forms that drop the helms (I assume 3rd form) 1 hit KO me? If so, I don't even want to bother, I'll just buy the helms.
2) Are the runs do-able any time, or is it usually crowded and you have to wait forever spamming to enter the map with the bosses?

Thanks for any info or other tips/tricks/guides you can point me towards!

Thanks for all the tips guys!

It looks like the main problem is just trying to get a party of 6. I actually have enough mules and PCs to fill all but 1 slot. So, I'll just need to find one willing person to go with ,e. Given the weapon attack cancel, I love the idea of finding a warrior to bring with.

1 More question- if I didn't want to Karma anything, are there any safe spots for my mules to stand on? If so, I'll try to just find 1 willing person who wants a helm, let them come with, they can pick a helm and me and my mules can grab the rest. Otherwise I'll have to let my mules die and karma the helms over to them.

Answers:
1) Yes you can survive. 3rd body Scar does around 3.2k on my mech, 3rd body Targa does around 3.6k. Definitely 100% chance of survival with 6k HP.

2) You can do Scar/Targa runs twice a day (Every 24 hours). You need a party of 6 minimum, with all the prequests finished. It's usually not that crowded but you can scar in only 3 channels, (ch.11,12,13 I think), but then again I'm in Zenith so I am not 100% sure.

The runs are very easy to do but u need to do the prequests which is very easy It has 3 forms first forms att like 600-750 2nd atts 1000-1100 3rd att 2700-2900
and the 3rd form only drops the helmet and theres no safe spot in the area..

You'll live. It hits like 4k max.
Targa stuns a bunch more than scar though (Does scar stun? I forget).

As for getting in, it depends on your server; Assumptionally Scania, should be a little wait maybe.
Or you may get lucky. It just depends because sometimes people just scar for the heck of it.

You also need 6 peopel to sign up to enter though. Keep thaht in mind.
