Old content who cares anyway lol.

So this version of Ivan has his HP nerfed by a roughly whopping 50% for each health bar compared to it's original event run. As such, I restricted myself from using Mash's Black Barrel/Habetrot's special NP that comes with 4T of 50% damage reduction/defense down to balance it out. But without using that mechanic, it is still easier than the original version of the fight.

Doing this with neutral class is a nightmare because of Ivan's massive NP damage and programmed buff removal before NP, as such unless the solo unit comes with buff removal resist or has Lvl 120 health stats, soloing this is going to be near impossible for most units at neutral. Even the base health pool of 4 star Assassins will have trouble trying to tank Ivan's first NP without popping the Guts CE that is used to tank his second NP. Quite a lot of ST Assassins can solo this, so I tried out various AOE Assassins instead, with a bonus MHX solo thrown in as I managed to get multiple NP copies of her on my first account during the Anniversary.

Now talking about the various solos themselves:

Summer Ushi: She recently received a NP buff, so it's a good time to showcase her, however do note her anti Lawful mod does not actually apply here in this fight. I had a few resets on T4 and T5 because Ivan did some crit attacks popping the Guts CE sooner than expected. Overall, her NP buff is good in helping out her damage, but her face card damage really still comes off as lacking. Her S2 is pretty good though with an Evade on a 5T cooldown with a 3T Quick Up, and that 5T cooldown is what enables her to be able to solo this with her base Lvl 80 health pool. NP2 might still be able to pull this solo off, but doubt NP1 would have enough damage to do it. Her QAB chain is also strong because of her nice hit counts.

Summer Okita: The thing I kinda want to show is how her S3 demerit actually interacts with buff removal. Due to the way it's programmed, buff removal also removes her defense demerit, this also works with Summer Tomoe's delayed stun demerit as well. Also, I initially tried soloing with NP2 Lvl 80 Summer Okita, but unfortunately she was not strong enough to solo it as her Evade is on a 6T cooldown, which was one of the reasons she was not able to solo this at her base level 80 health pool. In addition to that, she does not have a upgraded NP and it relies on a debuff for further damage output which Ivan cleanses easily so her damage actually takes a hit here compared to Danzo and Ushi. Like wise with Summer Ushi, her hit counts and base gains also makes the new QAB chain strong for her.

(Post edit/upload): Important note, it was completely my skill issue. Baseline Lvl 80 NP2 Okita has the actual potential to solo this, I should have saved her S1 on T5, this way she still has the damage to break the second health bar fast enough, and get a second cast of her S1 on T8 to finish off the final health bar.

Kato Danzo: She most likely could solo this with just Lvl 80 stats, her 2 hard defense skills were really helpful here, and her Buster Brave chain does real good damage to enable her to solo this stage. I am not sure if NP1 can pull it off though.

Off screen:

Kiichi Hogen: Not shown here, but she can solo this stage at base Lvl 80 NP5. She does not have the permanent damage taken demerit due to not having the Hominidae trait. Her Evade skill is also lingering so it be casted on T1 instead of T2, and come back on time after Ivan's second NP to survive one additional turn with a heal from the OG Mystic Code. I did not add her in this compilation as I lack music choices for her. (also video is getting long) Her QAB chain is noticeably weaker compared to Summer Ushi and Summer Okita.

Fuuma Kotaro: No success at Lvl 100, he is very debuff reliant which Ivan yeets them away easily.

Summer Nitocris: Recently got her to NP5 because she shared a banner with Maid Alter recently. Unfortunately despite her defense skills, she still struggles at NP5 due to her lackluster star gen (in comparison to Ushi/Okita/Kiichi Hogen) for crits to deal sufficient damage required to solo this.
