I just fought and beat the Jackal as a sortie boss solo. Like some of the other people commenting here, I DID have extreme difficulty with the legs being invincible, but it seems like one of the legs is always unshielded, and that vulnerability keeps changing legs over time. I had difficulty recognizing that detail due to the boss having 5 sets of health/shield bars and crazy bounding boxes.

While less relevant, when I finally beat it, I was using Ivara with a prowl build, Mutalist Cernos with a pure corrosive elemental and status build to strip away armor, and a Rakta Ballistica to actually do damage. In hindsight, hitscan weapons would have been better for dealing damage, and weapons that damage the "center" of entities such as Mutalist Cernos did not seem to damage unshielded limbs whatsoever.
