Summoner solo/duo/small group vs Abysea NM Compendium

Turul - Abyssea - Konschtat
Avatar used: Garuda for wind resist
BP Rage: Predator Claw
Atma used: Ducal Guard, Razed Ruin, Mounted Champion or Stronghold or Minikin for refresh, Sanguine Scythe if MP is no issue, Future Fabulous if you want magic defense bonus.
Notes: Duo is best here, spikes can be deadly later on and you may need to resummon. Since you may want to get blue proc, suggest to bring a third to do just that. If your third can proc blue then more power to your set up. Otherwise battle is similar to Amhuluk but with the thunder spells and spikes.

Battlerigged Chariot - Abysea Altepa
Avatar used: Leviathan - spring water helps a ton or can also use Garuda if you rather Predator Claw it to death
BP Rage: Grand Fall, Spinning Dive, Predator Claw
Atma used: Ducal Guard, Mounted Champion or Stronghold, Minikin for refresh for Tank build, or Noxious Fang, Razed Ruin for damage.
Notes: This one has more hp than its cousin, it is the version to pop Rani, discoid can be deadly if you are too near, just run back and forth near dominion area or the tunnel, dawn mulsum and healing salve handy for emergency. If you need KI, there is 50/50 you may get it without proc if you stand very near to the NM when it's about to die. Obviously if you have a friend who can do red and blue proc for you, you should bring him along.

Ovni - Abyssea La Theine
Avatar used: Garuda
BP Rage: Predator Claw
Atma used: Ducal Guard, Razed Ruin, Mounted Champion or Stronghold for regen or Minikin for refresh
Notes: Solo is doable, just may be a tad slow. Duo is best. Plus 2 drops is random without proc, can drop 0-2, since its repop is not too bad, it's manageable. Drops plus 2 for SMN feet. Just straight tanking with Predator Claw and Whispering Wind.

Thanks Dhragon, hope this helps and inspire you to do more stuffs with your summoner job.

Ulhuadshi - Abysea Attohwa
Avatar used: Garuda for earth resist, whispering wind to heal
BP Rage: Predator Claw
Atma used: Ducal Guard, Minikin for refresh, Razed Ruin
Notes: Do take care when it is using a tp move, you do not want to BP Rage after since it will heal it. Watch the damage information, when Garuda does damage, use BP, when it uses tp move, Garuda attack will heal it, 50-70 to 170s critical. May have to resummon eventually, so do take care when you kite back and forth between the worm and eft areas. You will want to proc yellow on this to get twice the amount of plus 2 drops. The nice thing about this NM, only need 2 KIs that easily farmed. Coin of vision for Smn Caller Horn +2. If you managed to yellow proc, only need to pop this 2-3 times.

Hrosshvalur - Abysea Vunkerl
Avatar used: Ramuh for water resist, also can use Leviathan
BP Rage: Chaotic Strike, Thunderstorm, Spinning Dive
Atma used: Ducal Guard, Razed Ruin, Mounted Champion or Stronghold or Minikin for refresh, Sanguine Scythe if MP is no issue.
Seals drop: feet for Smn, Blu, Rng, Bst
Notes: This NM is needed as one of the 2 KI to pop Sedna, does not link with other pupils. It does have hate reset, so please buff yourself and get ready to cure 4, I would have mounted champion on since waterja can be rather bad for taru summoner, overall it's easy fight other than the hate reset. The hate reset can be a bit chaotic, please do not dismiss it, it can kill you if it happens to spam its tp moves. KI is 50-50 chance without red proc.

While you are in the area, you might as well pop the other NM for the second KI set for Sedna
Iku-Turso - Abysea Vunkerl
Same strategy as above. Hate reset is not an issue at all, rather very very easy to kill - can also team up with the soloer who may need some seals from it. Leviathan is your best bet on this battle. With Razed Ruin, Spinning Dive is averaging close to 3k. None of Iku-Turso water based attack deal any big damage. DO NOT come near this NM since it can kill you in one shot when you get hit with its AOE.

Karkadann - Abysea Vunkerl
Avatar used: Ramuh for thunder resist.
BP Rage: Chaotic Strike, Shock Squals
Atma used: Ducal Guard, Razed Ruin, Mounted Champion or Stronghold or Minikin for refresh
Notes: I would suggest to duo this NM, have one SMN go all out defense atma set up for Ramuh and the other set for ultimate critical damage with Ramuh. Do take care with its 2 TP move that has area effect and hate reset, work it out so the other SMN will BP rage after that to get hate back. Try to get his atma, is a very nice one for SMN Ramuh and Blue Mage. This is another rather easy NM for plus 2, with only 2 KI needed from NMs that no one bother to camp. Ninja and Whm item are 100% drop so you can share it with others. Without yellow proc, plus 2 can be random 0-2.

Cirein-Croin - Abysea Misareux
Avatar used: Garuda, use whispering wind to self heal
BP Rage: Predator Claw
Atma used: Ducal Guard, Razed Ruin, Minikin for refresh, Sanguine Scythe if MP is no issue.
Notes: Solo is fine but hate reset can be troublesome, healing salve 1 and 2 helps if things get worse, bring dawn mulsum for emergency when it uses Deathgnash. Recommended to duo/trio to maximize drop rate on plus 2.

Further notes: Leviathan is actually a better tank on this mob, but for some reason spinning dive will miss often and not do as much damage. Cirein Coin tp attack will not do much damage to Leviathan compared to Garuda or Shiva, both took heavy damage. BUT as summoner is atrocious in hate management, using Leviathan while you are trio-ing will make this NM go after your other friend when it does hate reset. Other jobs such as dual BLM/RDM would make a much faster work on this NM.

Briareus - Abyssea La Theine
Avatar used: Garuda, whispering wind for self heal
BP Rage: Predator Claw
Atma used: Ducal Guard, Razed Ruin, Mounted Champion or Stronghold for regen or Minikin for refresh
Notes: Solo is doable, just may be a tad slow. Duo is best. Helm is 1-2 drops, at least 1 is guaranteed, plus 2 is random so bring thief and blm if you want them both to drop. Do take care when you use Whispering Wind or Healing Salve or Dawn Mulsum - wait a bit after Collosal Slam tp due to zombie effect.

Isgebind - Abyssea Uleguerand
Avatar used: Ifrit for ice resist.
BP Rage: Flamming Crush, Meteor Strike
Atma used: Ducal Guard, Razed Ruin, Minikin for refresh. If you plan to use other avatar than Ifrit, make sure to have Isgebind atma for ice resist.
Notes: Not recommended to solo, too slow and can be challenging. Duo is better, or trio if you need blue for weapons and red for atma. Make sure have healing salve 1+2 and 4-5 dawn mulsum for emergency, as well all your mp recovery temp items. Best to have balanced atma and razed ruin is a must otherwise damage would be severely hampered. Take care of the paralysis aura and terror. Other than that, his blizzard spells will do pitiful damage to Ifrit. Do not come near the NM as it about to cast, take extra caution with distance.
