My thoughts exactly. I've been putting in as many hits as possible with Apheros so hopefully it will count for something. Makes me wonder how long we'll have to wait for the next wave/stage & how much HP that one will have. Hopefully, fighting in this first wave won't disqualify battlers from fighting next wave.

Total Damage: 8954

my first crit. not too shabby!

boss battle like this i wish i have i pet that has all the strength and very low other stats. could that work for boss fight? i mean just focus on attack, STS and freeze. heal would be super cheap.

Is it wrong to blast Tubthumping while battling?

41381194 HP

How about some free healer? :)

I gotta drop everything! Ice King just challenged me! lol

almost 1/2 gone in just 1 hour tack on a few 0s

seems like her lantern flare has a healing and something heals at 1K too....but I didn't even look to see what item it was.

Jeez, I ran to the bathroom for a second and another million hp disappeared.

ROFL! Good one! :)

btw, I thought the official battling song was Safety Dance?

Any thoughts? Was it an unofficial anthem, or only during specific events?

My best pet is still T5 and I'm a little worried. With two bombs I usually do 300-400 damage if the boss doesn't use its shield, and with its 1000 HP heal item that means that half my battles are actually going backwards. Pylonics just make it worse because they give Kiyo extra turns to heal.

Should I just... give up? I know there's the smithing option, but it kind of sucks to think that I can't participate as a battler, even though I care about the battle system and I've sunk a lot of time and effort in, just because I'm not T8+.

So... are participants going to be rewarded based on damage dealt? I almost break even, and dragging it out a little might not be a bad thing if it lets others get more hits in. Or based on net HP change, in which case I might as well stop now?

Edit: Hm, looks like its heal is getting boosted. Not totally sure what that implies.

must be the unofficial anthem, and I'm not getting left behind

more heal now

Lantern Flare also heals for 10K and Rain of Tears is 2500 is what i've noticed this last round…

EDIT:

❤

that is what I just noticed too.

nods I felt bad attacking a spirit that seems to cry so much..

Total Damage: 822056

Then that happened X)

..

Healing our pets / making whatever Mathis is asking for is a beautiful sP sink. Even if it seems like you're going backwards, if battling is your thing, keep at it. Opponents like this are a team effort with all of us scrambling for that last lucky strike. Don't worry about what damage v. healing you're doing and have fun getting slaughtered along with the rest of us!

Okay, y'all mighta gone a little overboard with the healing. Just outhealed my damage like six turns in a row.

Either way, we got it to the blue!

this is why i love having high health

Your opponent scored a critical hit, doubling their damage! Total Damage: 7318

kolja survived (not on a healing round, either)

Participation is based on damage dealt, which is why healing just serves to keep the boss alive longer. I wouldn't worry about out-damaging her heal, even at T12 I usually do about 1.5k-3k a turn, and with >2.5k heals she's usually out-healing me, too, now. :P
