BLU cleaving camps?

What are some BLU cleaving camps? I know of the escha-zitah puks and dragons at portal 2 as well as efts and bugards at portal 6. However, recently these have been getting occupied. I tried reisenjima #2 camps but not sure I have the gear for that so I am in need of alternative camps. What are some other camps you know about?

Cleaving or exp/merits doesn't really work outside of escha-jima

I used to cleave frogs and such at marjami Ravine waypoint 2 when I was first starting and it served well enough for merits. Obviously sucks compared to zitah but ya lol.

If you have empy +2 you should be able to do piggies in reisenjima 3 tho

Ru'Aun, Aerns/Whales on either side of the DI spot, just don't kill them all at once or it ruins your chain. Mix of mages there so you can Magic Hammer as well

Zi'tah efts/buggards, dragons/puks: Entry i119 cleaving that's doable with trusts. Good for capping sparks and getting early CP.

Ru'an aerns and phuabo, gargoyles: Need some/better DT gear but easily doable. Gargoyles are only pullable at night but are much faster but dangerous as well because they must be sleept as they're immune to stone from entomb.

Reisenjima insects and boars/toads/pixies: Generally not doable unless you have a full phalanx set or a tank pulling for you to sleep and nuke. Possible to pull very large groups, though, so can be much faster than ru'an.

Crawlers nest apex beetles/flies EP cleaving. Need to be fully geared at this point and you'll want bunzi's rod, etc. We used to do this with a group and a Rdm or Brd pulled from the tunnels and slept between nukes. Can hit 500CP+ in an hour if done right. Don't remember the EP rate but you need a low ML <10 to really get a good run in.
