Ugh this opponent. I really wanna beat it because That background
Does anyone know all the different attacks that actually do damage? Mine generally does either physical or water. Perhaps the weapon needed is related to what sort of icons he's doing to you.
Poet What sort of damage was the guy doing to you, aside from physical, or did you see?
The phrase "I accidentally [a thing]" is internet speak, in keeping with the other attacks. It's not missing a word.
The way some people spell makes me wonder about their pronunciation. My CW shop, and my ping group
His attacks can do 5 water, 25 phys, or 50 phys. Might be another, I forget.
When I used the weapon that allowed me to beat him, his attacks just were blank and did nothing.
The only kinds of damage I've seen the troll do are physical and water. I don't remember seeing him do water before my wins, but that's probably just a coincidence/I didn't notice.

I have a spreadsheet going. So far, with only three people beating him, I haven't been able to see any pattern... I'm waiting for someone else to beat him since I've been through about 100 weapons and 2mil sP.
Theory
So far, the only trend I've found is that the lower the pet tier, the lower the weapon rarity. It wouldn't make sense for each weapon to be different for each player, since we can have multiple pets of varying tiers. It would make more sense if each pet had a specific weapon it could use... based off its tier and weapon rarity?
Tier 1 > R37 Tier 10 > R98 Tier 13 > R75
Time could also be a factor, since Poet tried the same weapon twice, but only had success the second time. (Times are approx.)
Tier 1 > R37 > 13:40 Tier 10 > R98 > 23:20 Tier 13 > R75 > 23:30
Does anyone else see anything I don't?
[edit] Well, there goes that.
My pet was the t13 pet who used the r75 weapon :p so you have it mixed up a bit
My head hurts thinking about all this...I don't even know where to start....lol
Congrats! so it's more than just restockable stuff. maybe it's all t1 and t2 stuff?
Congrats! I had to stop trying for the moment, it was giving me a headache.
Did you truly get 5 wins with that weapon? My battle pet Bae is T9. So he could defeat old Troll face with the Unadorned Silver Sword? Going to restock one right now.
sigh. He just stole than darn sword from me. This Troll is worse than the Lagmonster. What did you get for your loot drop.
@ youngexplorer Oh, the sword is breakable. Yeah, so far, only four people have beaten him (, , )...with 4 seemingly random items (Tier 1 and 2)...each changing after 5 wins. It's basically a guessing game. x_x

Ah well, between watching a lecture on Athens and Sparta, I will try to defeat the Troll. Perhaps the Spartans will inspire me. Thank you for your info and replies.
Keeping an eye on this thread for reasons

ugh I really thought I figured it out this time but no such luck x.x
I stopped caring about this until I saw the background, but since I work full time I don't have a lot of time to try different weapons so guess I'll just keep waiting until someone figures it out or has a background to sell. :(

I've followed this every chance I had/have and don't understand how it works. I'm all for trying what I get from BQs - hell, I was willing to pull out all 600+ r1 - r99s and put them in my armory if that's what it takes but seeing what was able to win with has totally blown that theory out of the water.
anyone else .. any thoughts?
