I'm not saying change the stats. I'm just saying make them tier 1.

Right now they aren't a milestone to get at tier 5 - they are a terrible mistake. They are expensive, they do not heal, and do not deal a ton more damage than weapons that do heal in Tier 5.

They aren't the best weapons in the tier, they are bad weapons in tier 5 (and all tiers).

If you took them and dunked them in tier 1, at least they might be worth using, and they would be worth holding onto for a longer period of time. 40mil is a HUGE investment at tier 5, and its a super mediocre weapon in T5, that in no way justifies the cost.

You don't need to make the best weapons super cheap, you need to balance the BC around the cheapest weapons. The best weapons in Tier 1 right now ar Trident and LGC at 500mil and 750mil+ respectively. Thats not cheap at all. But if there were a broader base of good tier 1-tier 5 weapons it would at least take some of the burden out from those format warping weapons...

You could probably make the arguement that you could upgrade them, and then dunk them down in Tier 1, or at the very least dunk them in T1 and make a few nerfs.

But I'm talking about changing the stats for them at T5. They're old and have all been surpassed, so I don't see a problem with updating what they do. Make them earn the "legendary" status and the cost. The T7 combos should also be updated, so if they're made really good from T5-6, then comboed at T7 into new really good weapons. I'd also like to see new combos that can be made from the T7s, possibly into something from T9, or even 10 or 11. This could not only make the cost more worth it, it gives us something like scaling weapons that aren't actually scaling and involves some decision making.

You can make them the best weapons in t5 outright, and it doesn't change the fact that they will be outclassed by T6 or 7 for a fraction of the price.

If you want to make them good weapons, and keep their value, you need to increase their value for a person over time, not just relative to other weapons in a tier.

I think the best way to do it would be to make the Legends very good weapons between T1-6, and then at T7 make Combos be good weapons for T7-10. Probably even more important for the combos would be to not make them straight damage sticks like they are right now, would be to make some of them OPB items or shields, instead of having them all be straight clones of each other that all follow a formula.

To make a Combo weapon justify its price, they need to be solid in the endgame, or they need to be the gold standard in tiers 7-9.

Hmm still no luck unlocking Jim. I tossed a few random pets into training, see if that does anything.

[spoiler] You've found a Hidden Opponent!

Jim challenges you to a fight in the Battle Coliseum!

I think its that you need to have all your pets 10/10 hunger/Happiness

I went through and fed all my pets and thats when I got it.

ugh I really don't want to have to go and feed 20+ pets for this D: all the ones in training are fed and happy but still no avail... OTL well of I have to I will have to....

want to borrow my infinity berry?

You tab open 20 new tabs by clicking on the berry, then click feed pet and command W the window closed, and you can feed 20 pets in probably less than a minute.

Thanks but it's ok. If worst comes I will just stick them all in the resort and wait an hour. :)

If it's 10/10 hunger/happiness that's gonna be a pain. I just got all my pets up to being battle-able (1/10 hunger and 1/10 happiness) and still don't have it so not sure... :/

I'd love to borrow that berry if possible...

Two people confirmed this one, and

Looks like you were right. All my pets are now fed and happy and it worked!

[edit] got it back too :P

And sent back! Thank you very much! :)

It's definitely not all at 10/10. My main battler is also my gourmand pet so I don't keep him in the resort, and I unlocked Jim.

Re: Legendary weapons: I freaking love them. I like dealing all one icon type rather than spreading damage out among several. I would love to see them be more useful for longer.

Is it just me or does his loot change the more you battle him? If that is the case I love he little detail.

Lower battles you get a towel and blue headband thing, beyond 25 you get gym socks and a green headband and grey shorts, beyond 50 you get white shorts and red headband.

Or was that just my luck?

You Won! You have defeated Jim 75 times! Jim drops: Physical Defense Moonstone Crystal Physical Moonstone Crystal Cynde earned 30 EXP Points!

I can't think of specific item examples but I noticed that when battling opponents into the hundreds for their scroll pieces or crystals. Loot changes along the way.

Oh yes I know it can change lol but for some reason it seemed more profound with Jim... then again I pay way too much attention to the wrong things. XD So I could just be dumb... which I do not doubt. :D

Happy birthday sweetie!!!

Did the full fed pet thing, glad I only have 19. LOL. Off I go to battle Jim.

They changed the General Update to Saturdays, maybe they also changed the day when they release the monthly challenger. :)

I agree that expanding them to more tiers and letting them be good at low tiers makes them worth the price and opens up more options for people with low tier battle pets. I have so many trash low tier weapons, it would be nice to invest 50 mil in a weapon set that could be used for 4 or 5 tiers before having to make another investment.
