So, best strat I've found if you're playing solo with ASA Scrorched Earth is to play into being a cowboy of Bob's Tall Tales.

How I've done it, is try to climb onto its tail with a boomerang or whatever your knockout tool is and go right up to the back hump, then just start going to town and hoping you don't get knocked off or it runs into a group that might get ticked off from it taking any damage. If you're positioned just right, it can't hurt you and just carry you along for a ride.
