You were so close! If you can get your opponent into the red, you can beat them. It just might take a slightly new strategy or a little bit of luck.
Thanks, yes was so excited.. lol, but life is just so busy at the moment, I only have enough time during the week to fly through dailies as quick as possible:( Will definitely get a bit more time at weekends to put more effort and thought into strategy and try again!!
As the reset happens at 12 midday in my timezone, I am not usually home from work to try again, if needed and the mornings are too hectic (up at 4am already) lol
But yeah, super pleased with how we are progressing!!
I've missed a lot of battling and I'm now trying to unlock the friendly challengers. Does anyone know if Lukien is still available? I've visited the apothecary 10 consecutive days (and double checked this using my internet history) and he hasn't unlocked yet.
time!! Battle Quest

You Won! You have defeated Crawbeast You won a(n) Impossible token to use in the battle shop! Vinoc earned 3500 EXP Points! Head back to the Battle Quest headquarters to finish up this quest! Because this was level 30 you earned 3500 experience!
No, I didn't realise I needed to click on him.
You've found a Hidden Opponent! Lukien challenges you to a fight in the Battle Coliseum!
Thanks :)
Did you just click on him once now and unlock him? I've wondered for a while whether we might have been over-stringent on his requirements, because while I did click on him every time, I'm 80% sure I got distracted in the middle and got him after only 2-3 consecutive visits. Unfortunately this is the sort of thing that's hard to test... insights, anyone? (Non-battling friends to enlist?)
Doing lots of very boring grindy stuff at the moment. Battle-wise, I've nudged a couple more babies up to tier 4, and Occlumens is 600 stats from the cap.
Otherwise I'm working on game achievements. I wish I wasn't addicted to seeing numbers go up...
Oh, are we supposed to be clicking him? Because I could add that to his unlock requirements in my list, or at least make a note about it or something.
Because yeah, as far as the guide goes I don't know if I have the exact solution for every challenger. If it's kind of a weird one and I'm unsure, I try to just go with what seems like it's worked for most people or I'll be vague about it (like Gunter's having several pets be hungry but not exactly how many, and Lukien's however many days but not sure how many). ;~;
Today was the first time I actually clicked on him and he challenged me as soon as I clicked on him. I've been to the apothecary on 11 consecutive days now though.
Farming all of the easy opponents with pets 3 & 4 why do I do this to myself?
Soon Oranos will have a little boost
What tier is your pet now?
Because you want your pets to grow stronger. If you stop now, you can still have a life. If you don't you'll end up like most of the top battlers on the site... You'll be able to take over the world.
Btw, isn't that a new wig?
You Won!

Slowly catching up on the challengers and being able to actually beat them '^^
I guess clicking must have something to do with it then, because I'm pretty sure I only had to visit him like a few days (maybe 2 or 3, probably 5 at the most) before he challenged me. I don't remember if or when I clicked on him though because it was a while ago.
I'll make a note in the challenger guide though that clicking on his shopkeeper image might also be part of the requirement. It makes sense, since he doesn't like being bothered and clicking his image is kind of like poking him or something, I guess. :P
You Won!
