While I can understand wanting things to retain value (I play Magic The Gathering and have cards that lose real money value when they're reprinted), it shouldn't be impossible or near impossible for new players to get their hands on a trident, for example. Battling should not be an exclusive club where the very best weapons are in the hands of people who were fortunate enough be to around when they were available. It's fine that battling is expensive - so are HAs when people really get into them - but expensive and exclusive are two different things.

Exactly. Something that was meant to be rare, let's say for example, earnable by the top 100 battlers at the time, should remain so. And I think releasing said example item as an achievement prize for 10 or 25 or 50 wins on a challenger, or in the battle shop for 1k imp tokens, would let it retain that original rarity. With a very few exceptions, items aren't meant to be unobtainable, and being so is against the grain of their purpose.

Best case scenario, in my opinion, is going back to the Throwback Thursday Challengers and releasing their original loot as 10th win achievement prizes.

I did suggest bobbles be re-released soon, so hopefully that'll come into existence.

Unmask Current Tier: 9 Next tier in 35 points

:) woo!

You are so lovely today -- as always!

Wrain 3,357 EXP Current Tier: 11 Next tier in 4000 points

Yay! Although I adopted him at T8, so I can’t take all the credit. Time to play with the big boy toys, like Swahbuckle and Natasha!

Congrats that is wonderful! :) Now they can also get you more (cool) loot too. :D

In fear of my friends kicking me for bringing this up for the 10th time, let’s not talk about how ostaff was a trivia prize.....

Yay congrats!!

I’m trying to hit t5 with exp only and see how long it takes. I trained about 200 stats in a day with exp only, but I think I burned most of my easy bridges. I can probably milk another 100 stats getting to 200 wins on med opponents.

They really should fix low level battling so this is a more feasible strategy for new players. I think I am only really able to do it this effectively from all the cs opps I have.

I like how you posted your minion as well :p

Yeah it gets super grindy boosting at low tiers with just exp. I started doing that at T5 but I only took my pets up to 10 wins. It really only is doable if you have a lot of challengers unlocked. I think they need better low tier weapons though so low tier pets can beat more opponents during battle quests.

I would kill for some better low tier weapons.

Minions are a very important stat!

If I could use my minion to beat the crap out of my opponents, that would be great. Maybe it could provide an extra attack, boost or heal. I will even accept words of encouragement like, “Uroboros says you are doing great!” ;p

OR snarky comments: "you call that a hit..." :D

everyone~~

[edit] You Won! You have defeated Crawbeast

20 points from tier 10 for Unmask. Woo so close!

Nice! Almost there!

I'm slowly but steadily making progress with my Natasha funds. I've been saving for two years now, maybe this year I'll actually manage to get it xD Kicked Meatslabs butt today. Almost done with re-battling opponents since the reset in 2017. I'm a bit behind xD Only 4 more to go!

So uhh, I tried my luck against Lukien but so far I haven't had much success. I do survive for a couple of turns, but I can't seem to outdamage his heals. Most of the time the battle ends with Lukien at max health :/ Any tips? Maybe I should wait untill I beat the other opponents, then I can use my stocked up boosters and exp.

Wrain seems to do fine using the same weapons set as Chums, which is good. I accidentally deleted a set and don’t feel like using a GA medal right now to get it back.

Oh, I hate when that happens! I did that too, so annoying!

I don’t think there was any kind of warning when I did that, and it’s kind of easy to no brain a set out of existance T_T

I’d really like a weapon set overhaul, where you could have more sets, including default sets by by tier and 5 or so other sets. But I can’t think of an elegant/intuitive way to handle selection and editing, and it would probably be a huge project.

I think its easier than you think. Give every pet a default set, and let your set slots overwrite that set from the battle menu.

With weapon sets it doesn't seem that bad, but with scrolls, thats where the change really needs to happen. I ALMOST want to go back to the old way scrolls were when it comes to battling with multiple pets...
