Which level to stay?

I was lvl 24 or 25 at the time, and i kept helena in her spawn area. "Difficulty" must have been in dodging her attacks and dealing with surrounding enemies, but i found it easier to kill her. You just had to know her attack patterns and dodge them and attack.

I do remember her health or armor was controversial because it seemed higher than Ursoths, but being in a party made that worse.

In my personal experience, soloing was easier than going with a group.

Really?
I only played lvl 13 and being in a party extremely helped alot in there.

I'm dead serious. Before doing any runs on a given day, i'd debate whether or not to go in a PuG or just go solo, just in case i run into helena. Often times when i go into a PuG, everyone's poorly geared or inexperienced, or just plain gives up and so when we reach helena, she's set at that level for the remainder of the match. It took me 30mins+ with a PuG and only ~8mins solo.

I guess it's different if you run with a pre-organized party of same-level players who are well-prepared for the battle. PuGs were dreadful. I had no friends at my level, so i was stuck with them or solo.

Soloing was easy.

Killing helena under lv26 is simple (soloing or not), pot spamming is enough. The next easiest is lv39-41, a high chance of success with PuG.
The rest (lv27-lv37) needs party but PuGs are very weak there.

Lolol I'm even more indecisive now

Since you are lv22, i think you might be better just stay there. Next possible best level is the endgame zone, totally different from where you are in many aspects. And long XP grinding...
