Sticking these here in case you can’t get their pages to load due to the lag:

Loot hasn’t changed from previous years. Last year’s guide: Morostide Challenger Help Thread!

thank you jess! (:

The guide to Vruschika is now up.

~Tier 5. It mainly uses water, plus earth and dark attacks. Nothing is disabled so you can freeze it. Just watch out for its curse, which is up for most of the battle and can drain your health.

Heads up - I had to split the Cash Shop: Hard opponents into two pages (A-M + N-Z) due to the original page hitting the character limit. All of the links should be updated to reflect the change, but if you come across anything weird just give me a ping and I'll fix it.

The link to Atzoatlchu (Cash shop challenger) stat page is broken :(

You’re right. It looks like that page has hit the character limit as well. I will have it fixed later tonight. Thanks for letting me know!

[edit] It should be fixed now! The Cash Shop: Extremely Hard opponents are now split over three pages (A-L + M-R + S-Z) to give them more room :)

thank you

The guide for Dhanu is up!

There's not much to say - it's an easy challenger that virtually anyone can beat. Remember to go to win 200 for a second tome!

The guide for Shinwas Nightmare is now up! This challenger is recommended for tier 13 pets. It uses mostly dark, earth, physical, and fire icons (:dmg:dark::dmg:earth::dmg:physical::dmg🔥).

• Weapon recommendations:

If you don't own these weapons, I suggest looking through here for anything that does :block:dark: :block:earth: :block:physical: :block🔥.

• Mod crystal recommendations: Freezing and stealing are disabled against her and, as always, this frees up your mod slots! If you have any gaps in the defensive coverage of your two main weapons, you can add elemental defense crystals that will help block :block:dark::block:earth::block:physical::block🔥.
If you're looking to add to your attack icons instead, she kind of blocks a little of everything. I would avoid adding more dark attack (:dmg:dark:) icons because she blocks a significant amount of those with her blessing. She blocks physical and earth icons the least (:dmg:physical::dmg:earth:).

• Infinite use scroll recommendations:

• Once per battle scroll recommendations:

Freezing is disabled so you'll want to either bring in healers like Rage of the Paramnesia (which you should have one or two copies of if you're in T13 - if not, go earn them) or something that will block her icon types like Fatal Fire Scroll.

• Other tips:

• Watch out for her curse as it will disable your scrolls while it's up. When an opponent can disable scrolls, it is the most important time to have healers in your weapon set. You can't fully rely on your scrolls to heal you or block for you if your health gets low, so make sure you've got your Phoenix Quill and/or Reviver of the Lion equipped.
• Bring in your Volatile Energized Mecha. Not only does it boost your stats and heal you a little each turn, its blessing will help block some of her physical icons.
• And leave out your 100% freezer, freezing is disabled. Stick something else in that slot :P

strength of the para is also a good scroll for this challenger that consumes less AP than feather explosion. void scrolls are helpful in a pinch, as are lucky and gotf scrolls if you need extra healing.

Loot at 25 wins: One of each

[edit] Loot past 25 - random EoR and

Your link for Crawbeast under "Throwback Surprise - February 2026" doesn't link properly. The link still works under "Councilors Cruise – October 2023, August 2012."

Oop, looks like I forgot to update the link in my spreadsheet. It’s been fixed!

Bonesaw isn't reliably dropping the tome on win 5. It's also dropping Pointy Shark Tooth, Shark Bait Sticker, How to Survive a Shark Attack, Ocean Fresh Oil Diffuser, Great White Shark, Precious Thresher Shark Plushie and Precious Great White Shark Plushie. I think I noticed other challengers that were lower difficulty than Bonesaw also had an expanded loot pool. [Edit] Opps sorry, missed the sentence where you are working on updating loot.

told us last night that he accidentally messed that one up. He forgot to change the number of loot items dropped on Bonesaw’s 5th win. So there are multiple possible items, but it will only give you two random ones of those :( (if I understood him correctly)

That matches my experience battling it so far. Haven't done a ton of pets yet.

Guides for the Throwback challengers should now be up to date!
