[PC] Safi'jiiva siege

I've been a veteran hunter in Worlds: Iceborne way back PS4 days. Now I restarted on PC just recently and wielding a new weapon. I'm at MR 60+ now and just crawling my way up slowly and the Safi siege appeared. I'm sure I'm not ready, so I wanna prep up.

Is Safi soloable with mediocre equipment and hunting skills?

What element/status should I bring? armor skills? items?

I am rocking the Sword and Shield and Charge blade on my playthrough now. I will most likely recruit some hunters for the siege, I just don't wanna be too much of a burden.
