did that one in a mega with un-named 425's..
I staggered the guns, and she went down, slowly, but still..
pauses between the hits, seem to trigger the boosting more often for some reason, may be just me though..

I have to get another player to help, not enough DPS on one ship IMO to kill it.

He has good resistences to kinetic and uber to everything else.
So select an ammo that gives lots of kinetic and he will go down kinetic ammo,kinetic missiles kinetic drones.
And if you can't get in range for your drones or whatever warp out and come back he will let you get closer b4 he aggros.
You dont really need a friend for this one just the right damage and be set up to deal lots of it.

I agree with previous post, I rely solely on Drones (Nos domi) I have only T1 heavies with fairly low drone skills (interfacing lvl 4) but have the Domis 10% damage bonus per BS lvl at lvl 4.
I use Warden kinetic Sentries, my tactic on this target and the Mammoth in Headhunters is to drop the sentries and draw the target away in a straight line to give the drones a better chance of hitting. As the sentries do twice the damage of heavies they can eventually break his tank.
With full drone skills I imagine he will pop like a normal BS in a minute or so.
I do use 4 heavy Nos on him that may be helping ;-)
Sorry if this is of no help to You in your Tempest Grizz' :P

How to kill him depends on which pirate race he is, which I don't believe you've told us ... since you're talking shields, I guess Guristas. Maybe something that fires EM damage to get past the shield?

Actaully the sentries have a 4 sec ROF with 50dmg while heavy drones have a 2 sec ROF with 25dmg. This means equal. This formula changes if you employ T2 heavies. The Wasps have a base 1.74 dmg modifier vs 1.2 with Wardens. Also I'm not sure if the speciliazation skills affect sentries at all, thus add another 8-10% more dmg with Wasps.

Heavies do 24 damage, so sentries do ever so slightly more damage.

Xevni Japon can be killed by thermal, so lots of hybrid firepower of thermal missiles

He goes down in less than 3 minutes in my shield tanked domi (6*425, shield tank, 2*mag stab, 5*pdu) and using warden sentry drones.
I have also killed him in an ishtar and in a deimos, but it takes longer time in those ships.
In a tempest you might need to dock and refit to autocannons and an afterburner to kill him.

I did this one the other day. Cleared stage 1 and 2 quite easily in my Cerberus... had to do multiple warp-outs on last stage (after switch to EM Tanking for those nasty turrerts) as I killed off the inties, and then the turrets. After that, I killed all the cruisers and other BS easily enough. But in a 40-volley, T2 Heavy missile barrage of scourges at a RoF of 5.39, I couldn't break his tank.
So I swore at him, told him to hang around for a few minutes... flew back to base, and came back in my Torp-Raven. Flew right up to him and rammed him, then locked, dual NOS'd, and proceeded to lay 700+ damage torps into his ass.
Then I laughed at his frozen corpse and collected his loot.

I always take Bane torps into the Angel Vengeance.
My recommended fitting is 6 x dual 650 II with Fusion L and 2 torp launchers (arbies or tech2 if you can) with Banes.
There's a high enough concentration of battleships in that mission that you won't be stunted compared to cruise missiles.
You'll also need to unleash your compliment of drones. He actually dies relatively quickly with that lot set upon him, but his tank sure is mean

Took me 4 and a half minute to kill Faraken Mundan (blood raider)
In comparison, it took 2 minutes 40 second to kill a corpus apostle @ 540k isk
This with gallente bs lvl 4, drone interfacing lvl 5, heavy drones lvl 3. 4 ogres and 1 wasp. Also used a single tracking link.
Time taken from after the drones actually reached them :)

I could not break his tank with my Raven using 6xZW-4100 Siege with juggernauts torps (guristas version of Vengeance). I couldn't quite catch up to him to launch drones as running an didn't have AB equipped at the time.
I ended up warping out & back, sneaking up close to him, before he aggroed at around 35K, at which point I seeked 5 hammerhead II drones and let him run while pounding him with torps. That made the tank-breaking diff! Though still took about 7 minutes or so to kill him.

Ugh... it's not that hard unless you dont have drone skills, absolutely any bs can take him out very easily, just warp out, grab heavy drones, go back, get in drone attack range, attack, launch drones and send em after him, and watch him die like any other bs.
He almost never aggros unless you get within close range, use that to your advantage instead of grabbing a ab like a nubcake.
This is with heavy drones I btw. With another point or 2 in there I imagine it'd go even faster.

For the Gallente version, Xevni Japon is an easy kill for Thermal, I use a Zealot for this mission and can easy drop him using only standard crystals (he tries to MWD away a lot)
As for the NPC guns, why even bother to get in range? I pull back to beacon for every wave and just hang around doing a 5K orbit on the warp in point and pick things off as they get closer, all in all its a very easy mission, stage 2 presents more challenge than stage 3 if you don't take the spawns in the right order.

Your ari doesn't have enough oomph to break that tank. The reloading allows for a nice shield refresh. The defenders probably remove your cruise missiles from space.
The Typhoon just eats Paon Tay once it is in range for the AC, Torps and heavy drones.
This is the only ship I can't beat in a Claymore with 720mm ari.

Hoborak Moon (Lvl4 Angels) dies after 4 reloads of my XT-9000 CMs (Raven) and as he's always within 45km my T2 medium drohnes help. I'm usually to lazy to switch to torps...

In my Domi Xevni Japon is no problem.
4 350mm Rails, 5 heavy drones, just set approach and eventually you will bump into is rear with 0 traversal. Takes some time, but works fine.
I used the Warden Sentry approach as well, which kills him faster, but pickup the drones later is so much bother.

Easy way would be to bring an AC/Torp setup in cargo to the system and kill everything else first.
Then re-fit with a webber, MWD, and the AC/Torp/Heavy Drones and go back and kill it. You don't want to do the whole mission that way, but it'll give you a lot more damage for the big NPC at the end.

Did anybody notice he's not a 2.5mill rat anymore? I just got it last night and noticed after finishing up and checking my log that I got just over a mill (don't remember exactly, somewhere around 1.3mill or something like that) Also noticed that the loot seemed a bit lower as well (total value), although that could be just bad luck. And I noticed his shield boosting wasn't as big.
Has anybody else noticed this? Is he actually easier and maybe I don't have to warp out to refit for obscene damage? Or am I just hallucinating?

I assume rachen mysuna.
Make sure you are doing kinetic damage. For the torps you must get within 3km of him with an afterburner or his defender missiles will shoot down your precious dps. If you can't break 160 dps to his shields, you can't kill this guy. Oh and his shield kinetic resist is 50%
