I personally don't believe in Soloing. It's a roleplaying decision; am I more likely to say, A) "I think I'll form a well-designed party of skilled adventurers to assist me in my quest," or B) "I think I'll take on the entire world by myself--maybe I can even do it without getting killed 50 times over." I have always answered A, and probably always will.
I Dualed soon after hitting the Marching Mountains. My poor Level 1 Thief leveled up to Level 3, and stayed Level 3 (protected by the other 5 members) through the rest of Yaga-Shura, Watcher's Keep, the Oasis, Amkethran, Sendai, and finally came out of the Dual after the 3rd Pocket Plane Challenge. Abazigal was a challenge (I wanted to take him one-on-one, but he kept attacking my other party members), but Balthazar was laughable.
