No but really close I have beaten it about 11 or 12 times now and that was like the second or third hit on him but the next did finish him off

I hope we get that reset soon to make the wins after the first ten worthwhile. To me, the small EXP payout and chance at a battle token just aren't worth the effort right now. Those battles can get quite lengthy for such little reward 😛
The difference sounds pretty stark for a distance of 30 minutes' drive :O. But come to think of it, I think I've noticed similar patterns before too. A trip to the mountain sounds fantastic! I love mountains and cliffs (well, actually nature in general XD) except for the climbing part lol.
To be fair I don't think a ordinary person would usually possess a camera whose picture quality would keep up with time and technology evolution, unless they're professionals or enthusiasts. Having said that I don't think any camera, no matter how old-fashioned it is, would beat the (lack of) quality of my phone's camera XD so I think I can still enjoy the pictures if you ever want to share them :D.
Any chance Flamagia (or Chase, etc) stole your Natasha at some point and you used one of the leftover bullets after that?
I'm pretty sure that's the "non-Natasha" stats for bullets, which is definitely what you'd get if the opponent stole your Natasha, even if you still have bullets generated from previous turns.
(also yay thanks for Careaper reminder!)

Definitely worth it for guys like prodigy that hit hard and deal a lot of fire.
The way you described it definitely sounds like a bullet your opponent stole and then you took back. That's good that they worked like they should. If you want to be extra careful, I would blast/ steal before using the bullets so there's no chance of you accidentally stealing them back. If you do have an infinite weapon you are using that has a chance to steal, I would avoid using the bullets when you use that weapon.
Nice job! Kill him before he heals for a million health lol
: Oh I never thought of that. That might have been the case for me. I can't explain for the bullets dealing 21 icons against MF though, but I might remember it wrong and mix her up with some other opponent(s).
We seem to be on the edge of the storm where the snow and rain are divided, which is pretty unfortunate. We have some small mountains about a 90 minute drive from here. I have nothing to compare them to so I think they are amazing xD Maybe one day I'll go visit some more impressive ones 😛 I'm not a climber either, but they have a lot of easier trails to choose from. We mostly stick to the scenic road through the park and stopping at the overlooks :D
That's true. I used my smartphone camera to take the pictures xD I mean, when you have all of those features packed into one place, why buy anything else? My dad heard me saying that I wanted to save up to buy a camera to take better pictures and surprised me with one a few months ago :o It's a humble little camera, but so far it has been a good transition piece from my phone. I still have a lot to learn 😛
[edit]Nice catch . I'm definitely interested to see how a stolen Natasha affects leftover bullets now seeing as I did not test for that :o
[edit] Aha! was right. I just replicated it if you want to see a screenshot :D
@ Jess Your smartphone camera can't still beat mine. Mine is a flip phone's camera XD and yes I'm still keeping a back-up flip phone haha XD.
Congratz on your new camera! I'm sure it will serve you well. I guess I'm too lazy to buy one because like you said the convenience of having all features packed in a smartphone has kind of spoiled me :P
If you ever visit the mountains and take pictures of the snow and want to share them I'd love to see them too :D
[Edit] Thanks for replicating it. It's such a relief to know so I can avoid future mishaps resulting from using the bullets when Nat is away from home :D
Yeah, I would avoid using the bullets once your Natasha is gone. It's quite curious how the bullets are affected though, since you generated them and didn't steal them :o
I still have my first flip phone, but no charger so I can't remember what the photo quality looked like or test it out 😛 But I will definitely show you some pictures if I do make the trip up there before the snow melts :D
Sure I'm looking forward to seeing the pictures if you go to the mountains :D
On a side note, I do think Natasha itself is the 'trigger' for the bullet buff. I just brought a silver bullet into battle (the loose ones from Quentin quest) and use it when Natasha is there. It did 55 icons despite not being 'generated' by Nat. That's interesting.
Mystery solved! If the bullets are only tied to who is using Natasha, I wonder if an opponent stole your Natasha and a bullet, would the bullet do 55 damage?
: I think it still needs testing but based on what we've seen so far my theory is yes.
I'll forfeit the battle if the opponents steal my Natasha and generate a bullet with it. The chance for them to use the bullet from their pool of weapons is low but if their attack is in the 5000+ range the danger would be too real for me. XD
Unless it's changed since Natasha was released, I don't think it gives the same effects to an opponent using a bullet whIle they've stolen your Natasha. I didn't think it gave them the blessing either but that I'm not as sure about.

The bullet blessing and damage both seem to be tied to natasha as both and have seen. If the bullet blessing and damage really are tied to natasha, then it makes sense that the bullets only do 21 damage when an enemy steals a bullet and uses it, and that you only do 21 damage when natasha is stolen. That could also mean that if an enemy stole natasha and then used a bullet, the bullet grants the blessing and deals more damage. There could be something written in the code though that if the bullet is used by an opponent, it will only ever do 21 damage, regardless of if they stole natasha.
