xD It would allow all those difficulties specially if you break them up into tiers. Everyone would have a chance and they could easily move up to the next tier when they are ready. I know I know it's a lot of work ... 13 tiers... but it's something I know could be done if /if/ the BAs really wanted it to happen.

well I support anything that brings us more challengers. =p reminds me I need a full list of new BQ challengers so I can put them in my tier guide.

That's a great idea! :)

EDIT: 10 amulets=10 shards

How long until we get to kick the Shardmaker?

I am FINALLY caught up on beating opponents from the reset. Now I can finally focus on researching the VH challengers and trying to kick some of their butts :P

The Library page definitly needs a "Back to Coliseum" link somewhere. It should also replace the former scroll page in the battle pet widget.

As for the Mecha being worthless - its usefulness definitly wears off. I never use it, it's the slightest luxury. There are two kinds of long fights where it could be useful :

• The ones were the opponent mostly has a lot of HP but is generally harmless (like an opponent you grinded tokens on a lot). In this case, sure I like an extra 9 icons like the next guy, but that doesn't really speed up the fight.
• The ones that are actually hard. When every round, you're fearing for your life, you can't waste a turn on a weapon that doesn't do much in itself. It's the kind of thing that may just get me killed. Even if the opponent is frozen, I'm supposed to be doing something, like dealing actual damage. The extra defence is terrible, the heal is pretty much 1%. I basically kept it in my set for the longest time and could never figure out a good time to use it. Mostly talking about roid RB right now.

Level: 278 Health: 1485 / 1500 Strength: 691 Defense: 675 Speed: 542 Intelligence: 983

Tier: 7 Rank: 2,352

Orginally planned on Hitting Tier 7 with 1600 HP, but got bored and used a bunch of tomes, Wonder if I can beat Saggi :P

congratulations!

Is there any particular reason you decided to not train an even build so early on? Do you have a clear vision for the final build of your pet or something, or does the extra health just allow you to beat challengers way above your tier?

mecha helps in low tier 12 battles that take awhile, but as you get more hp, the heal definitely becomes negligible. I found it very handy for forj, and even the extra icons on meatslab add up. I like the idea of it, I think it could be buffed up a bit to be a tad more useful.

I think this has allowed me to beat challengers much higher than an even stat pet.

I think the only challengers I can definitely not beat yet are: Prodigy Crithbolcan General Error Sanddragon Malerias Framilar Mama Forj Slaglord Surge Flamagia Tortyrant Deadroot Probably a couple others.

The challengers I'm going to attempt today are: Saggi Moonrise Dragon The Gate keeper Sophie CE the tormented should be easy not that I have access to Acid Tongue + Aspersion, but he was doable with Blunderbuss + the felibot loot weapon.

I do like the boosting... 250 stats for strength/defence/speed in one go... sure it might not seem like much but sometimes it does help immensely.

In the end everyone has their weapons they find the most useful after all.

huh, that't very interesting. Maybe i'll do that with my second battle pet :P With my first one, IDK why but I train only healthy and everything else comes from EXP, leaving my health actually lower than the rest of my stats :P For some reason I feel like I get more stats faster this way (quantity over quality essentially) but i didn't do any math for it so I could be completely wrong. Oh well.

how do you feel about your pet essentially being the turtle from the rabbit & the turtle story? You're finishing the race sooner(first), but we're not talking about how you're doing it in a very slow fashion aka you're probably dealing a whole 150 damage by now :P

I think the extra 250 strength from the mecha has even less of an impact than the 9 icons from the curse. It's cosmetic

Some maths at 2500, 5000 and 9000 strength : DPI 2500str : 11.90 5000str : 16.84 9000str : 22.59

Let's assume we're in a 30-rounds fight. An extra 9 icons per round will add overall : 2500str : 3213 damage 5000str : 4547 damage 9000str : 6098 damage

Same 30 rounds fight. We're dealing on average 80 icons. An extra 250 strength will add overall : 2500str : +1406 damage 5000str : +988 damage 9000str : +742 damage

9 icons wins over the 250 extra strength by a lot, even when you're a mid-tier 11

impressed castle didn't make your list! but I know you don't have a lot of research note opponents :p

yeah that's nice (forgot about that actually), it helps avoid crits which is probably the main reason it's useful for me. I wish it provided some immediate defense so you didn't have a huge whole in your defense the turn you used it. at least it has a 10% heal so I'm not missing that. the blessing would help more with meatslab, at least a bit, but blessings are disabled. but as your stats get higher, 250 str/def/spd becomes less and less significant. I would love another weapon like mecha that was made for t12 or t13. slightly more helpful things, stronger blessing, maybe a bit stronger curse, defense and some offense. like a really nice bomb that did something.

You've earned the High Level achievement! (x2K)

woohoo! still 1100 stats to go to tier 13...will get there soonish. lol

Since I have a bit more surviability that most pets around this level, I can use Combo Legends use my extra health as a buffer + Pquill, et all, so I still do about 650 damage per turn and heal in bursts.

I think for the next month I am going to be trying to get STR up to around 1K though, because even though I can survive about 30+ turns vs Saggi, I'm not outdamaging his healing enough.

I was thinking about his, but couldn't remember his actual name :P

[edit] Acidtongue

24 Fire 24 Water

6 Fire d 6 Water d

So pretty with parched :P

[edit] Ya, sophie isn't happening lol. That 2.2K STR is deceiving considering how many curses she throws are you lol.

YES! You've managed to find all the pieces to my bracelet! To thank you for this, I am giving you one of my very special items!

Gold Helmet

Baenwurath, his name is very hard to remember xD

Sophie is very deceiving because of her curses and blessings. She's a lot tougher than she looks.

Thanks,

You Won!

You have defeated Mornrise Serpent 1 time!

You won a(n) Extremely Hard token to use in the battle shop!

You earned 8500 sP for beating Mornrise Serpent!

Captain Beatd0wn earned 660 EXP Points!

At least one of my predictions about hitting tier 7 was correct. I guess CET was also much easier since I got another couple wins on him.

I think Saggi and Gate keeper will be beatable a littler later in tier 7.

congrats on the win! good luck getting some early wins on those two :)

Saggi really shouldn't be too bad at all, the main thing that is difficult about him is the healing that he does almost every single turn. So even just a little bit more damage should go a long way in being able to chip away at him.

Gate Keeper I thought I had a plan against him at one point, I think there is a weapon I'm forgetting about.

It's nice getting to play with some real weapons again for the first time in a couple years :P.
