- see I knew you could do it! Go get 'em one more time!

- definitely not T9 for the Gelatin Stompers. Those are struggling to eek out their five wins on the Wizards. That's as high as I go, so don't know about the T10s.

- I had no clue what anyone was talking about when I first started spending time here. They all talk in Battle Speak (lots of letters).

OHS is Ornamental Hook Swords BoNA - is Blessing of Natural Armor (the mods which you can buy in the Battle Shop)

and I'm pretty sure ME is Maniacal Essence

Unlocked Mad Miscalculation! Defeat the Mad Scientist 10 times in battle!

You've found a Hidden Opponent! Mutant Scientist challenges you to a fight in the Battle Coliseum!

I love my new ME :)

Got me my last 5 wins against the Mad Scientist, I don't know if I'm strong enough to take on the Mutant one yet though. But at least I have it unlocked now!

- way to go! Congratulations.

You Won!

You have defeated Gelatin Wizard 5 times! You won a(n) Extremely Hard token to use in the battle shop!

Gelatin Wizard drops: Gel Spells Gelilar Gelatin Wizard Plushie

You earned 16403 sP for beating Gelatin Wizard! Maskros earned 3248 EXP Points!

Finally!! Honestly can't believe I did it with the Emo Spork still in my set. He refused to steal in my last battle for some odd reason. Perhaps the RNG gods finally had pity on me :O

- Wow - you did it the hard way! So proud of you and Maskros. I knew you could do it.

He wouldn't steal for me several battles in a row and then he wouldn't steal the spork. :-) You'd almost think their program is running on Watson, they are so smart sometimes.

Tos just got her first win on Llindorm. He's using a Frostbite Amulet - haha! Where have I heard of that before? :-)

[edit] Second battle - my UltimaPlus Tag stole his Frostbite Amulet (shame I can't keep it isn't it?). I was looking for a heal and freeze. Didn't get the freeze, but all things considered, this works for me. :-) Okay - now at 2 wins. So far so good.

Congratulations on Llindorm's win. If you can win 4 times against the Wizard, Llindorm is just a piece of cake in comparison!

He actually stole everything except the Spork. The rare time he stole it, he didn't use it even when I ran out of full blocks and had to fight him the hard way. He critted me in that battle but he just wouldn't use the Spork. I think I put too much peanut butter on it so he kept it in his mouth instead ;)

Interestingly enough my tie with him was when he stole and used the Spork on me. I died because I ran out of healers and couldn't outlast the damage from his curse.

Thanks! I just managed this one as well...

You have defeated Crithbolcan 5 times!

Crithbolcan drops: Aftershocks Scroll Core of the Island Bolkit

You earned 9842 sP for beating Crithbolcan! Carbonite earned 5315 EXP Points!

Yay Aftershocks Scroll finally! :)

Congrats on 5 wins with another pet! :)

Oh yes, he cursed me to death so many times too. I think one of my ties was from the curse (so Negating Pylonic wouldn't work - can't block curse damage). Unlike the stealing, the curse was just plain frustrating!

So glad Tos and Maskros will be bigger when the Wizards return. (Of course, that may mean we have to deal with those Stompers too.)

- wow - look at you go! I'm sure you will love Aftershocks. Mine has been an enormous help everywhere. Many congratulations!

You Won! You have defeated Crawbeast You won a(n) Impossible token to use in the battle shop! Swagga earned 3500 EXP Points!

Totally neglecting BQs due to war >.<

Congratz! He's actually a lot easier than you'd think huh? :P Have you tried this guy yet?

Thanks! I've already swapped it out with my Triple Threat, which I think I'm probably going to sell since I already have ice and wind defense with my Malhuili and Trident.

Thanks! And yeah, the island? It's not so bad, he wasn't really damaging me but it took a lot of clicks to get enough damage on him. :P

I probably won't go for 10 wins yet, but it's nice to have the scroll at least!

Congratulations on your new Aftershocks!! :) I'm sure it will see many uses in battle :) and thank you for the congratulations too. I took me ~140 losses I think. This guy just rivals Cinthilocks haha.

It was indeed both funny and exasperating 😂 Sometimes I was inclined to think that they could read our minds so they deliberately left the spork alone just to drive us up the wall!

I hate his curse too. I think by battle 5 the damage from the curse alone was 188HP. My Slayer was stolen and Aftershocks couldn't heal enough even when I used AoN in the same turn. Could have won that battle had I had some healing potions left in my set.

I haven't fought her yet, but the Wizards are huge jerks for sure. I've heard the new Stompers are as well, but I haven't even bothered with those.

[edit]You've found a Hidden Opponent! Forj Matriarch, the Dormant challenges you to a fight in the Battle Coliseum!

Went ahead and got the summoning tome, so hopefully by the end of this year I can be caught up on battle challengers (hopefully they bring back the ones I need for Black Friday). Then I'll start saving again for MC weapons.

- I don't have any challengers that you have to buy and unlock. I've been working on trying to beat the ones I already have for now. I also had a very wimpy weapon set that is now updated some but still needs a lot of work (not to mention my lack of much of a scroll library or the AP to use it). My big recent battle purchase was Blessed Trident.

- I just think they knew we wanted them to steal it. And then you finally beat one yourself, and I just managed to get lucky and find the one Wizard who hadn't been told about the spork yet. :-)

Yes, that was the biggest problem with the curse. I had to keep healing when I wanted to be freezing just to try to keep up with it. And, of course, when he took our healing weapons ...

Somehow though, I think Cinthilocks is harder. Of course I don't know how she compares with the Stompers.

Hmmm - the pylonic only heals for 100 hp - are there better in battle healing potions?

I see, its someone I can see you beating, + you get that scroll which is one of best imo. I still need a trident! I keep holding off because I can't find one at a decent price, and I refuse to pay 500 :X

Really curious to see how many cores will be going out tomorrow :o

Also, I guess it's time to start saving for my next weapon. I was thinking in one of the following:

Which one should I get first? I don't have any fire, wind, earth or physical blockers so

T13. I have no 12s. lol

OHS = Ornamented Hook Swords ME = Maniacal Essence MW = Manifesting Weapon PBB = Paintbrush Blades AU = Ancestral Unrest DGR = Dark Goddess Rod

I think someone actually has a list somewhere...

I actually think the pylonic is the most reliable heal of all the affordable OPB healing options that don't take up space in our weapon sets (especially at our pets' stats). I can think of Life Shard which will outperform the pylonic when it heals for 8-10%, and the Necrotic Throwing Vial which heals for 5%. The most expensive one is the Potion of Life which heals for 1,000HP, but I'm not going to use it if I can help it 😛

I think they will bring back most of the old CS challengers this Black Friday, except for this year's challengers which haven't all come out yet.

Weren't you here when they brought back the bobbleheads not so long ago? They were going for ~300 mil total not counting the dirt cheap bobbleheads. There were a couple of Tridents up for sale at that time I think.

Yeah, it's not worth 500mil. Who would sell it for so much?

My order of priority:

Physical is more common among high-tiered challengers (T11 upward) and almost non-existent in BQs (except for Crawbeast who is also a mid-T11 challenger). Blessed Trident can see its use a lot in BQs (most challengers at L25 to 30 require Trident for smaller pets at T10 and early to mid T11) and perhaps elsewhere. Fire is up next, but you can manage with some struggle with Prodigy Staff or Cursed Liquid Fire Torch (the struggle decreases as you go up in stats). OHS is needed for Crithbolcan who is quite an important challenger both in and outside of BQs.

- I am lucky enough to have an Aftershocks scroll - that was my first "big" battle scroll. And I was able to get a good price on a trident. I don't blame you for not paying 500 million for it, but I'm told they can be bought every so often for 350 million and a friend gave me a discount on that. I thought about buying the missing Bobbleheads recently when they were put in the cash shop, but I have so many other battle needs before worrying about a second trident, so my smaller pets will just have to use other weapons.

- yes, now that you mention it, I've seen the Potion of Life, but I'm not planning to use any of those either. :-)

is usually a pretty good deal if you're desperate for a wind blocker. I've never used OHS, only use pbow with t10 pets, and never used an ether so....

Yeah, I hope so anyway!

Unlocked The Rekindler! Defeat Forj Matriarch on Easy 70 times!

You've found a Hidden Opponent! Forj Matriarch, Rekindled challenges you to a fight in the Battle Coliseum!

I'll work on the next group later tonight, time for dinner now ~
