Congrats on the wins.

Lol well my pets beat him up for being a jerk. XD

Wow, he really is just a jerk who steals all your stuff now. You more or less have to beat him in 8 turns or else you won't have a set left.

More like 4 turns. Remember that he can steal two weapons in one turn.

- I suppose that is actually a possibility. I've actually been lucky enough to not encounter that yet (although, I've been using T8 and 9 pets mostly who can beat him in 2-3 turns)

On the bright side, if he steals your attackers, he is slightly less likely to use his own steal happy weapons.

Ahhh I LOVE his loot drops, I have like five pets who need them for TC items!

Also has anyone pinged battle yet? I'm sure people will wanna know!

- Of course, once you point it out, it starts happening every other turn. Thanks :P

I told you he can do that.

I was just about to screenshot to show proof, but I will show it anyway:

[edit]Your opponent's Poach managed to steal your The Ether.

Your opponent's Pinch managed to steal your Natasha.

What a jerk.

- For my little guys I'm probably going to load up on scaling/custom coded weapons, that way my pet still gets benefit from having them, but if they are stolen don't do much damage against me :)

Truth Serum helps if he does not take it first turn. Sometimes you can get back the items he stole off you.

- I also discovered that you can steal his weapons and use them against him, in 5 turns though, neither of them stole once, so they might have some custom coding on them for bandit.

- Not sure if this is a glitch or not, but Bandit just stole my Shear Sword and when he used it against me, MY strength was boosted still.

He was more like the jerk who always died in one hit ;c

- Not everyone has pets that can deal 1.5k + damage consistently every turn, or the weapons to do so. And besides, he can still be the Jerk that stole half your weapons with just one turn.

You Won!

You have defeated Cursed Effigy 2 times!

Cursed Effigy drops:

Magma Mage Amulet

Singed Scale of Red Rreign

You earned 6750 sP for beating Cursed Effigy!

Claire Sanchez earned 430 EXP Points!

This is probably as good of loot as I am going to get from him. Two scales so far with two pets. knocks on wood

It would be a much different battle if he had 6-10k hp. Seems like the best bet would be 7 weapons and a truth serum or something?

- Two scales is all I've got in 45 so far, so yeah, I'd say you are doing good.

- If he had 6-10k HP he would not be classified as a 'hard' challenger.

Well yeah.. I am not saying it would be. It would be cool though, we don't have anyone who steals all that often like him in higher tiers.

- We've got Chase, and the Gelatin Wizard was just about as steal happy. Forj can get pretty annoying with her stealing too. None of them are quite as much, but they are still bothersome in long battles.

They don't steal at near the same rates, though I think the wizards are the highest of those. But it's not like we get the wizards consistently at all.

- I really hope we see those wizards again, they were both fun and frustrating to battle, and I need ONE more win for the achievement!
