“Maybel's knitting needles are a blur as she furiously knits you a sweater! She pulls it over your head, and -- hey, there are no arm holes! You can't move!

Maybel tosses a handful of Minion Chow at you, and you're swarmed by hungry minions!”

....I think you’re fighting a little outside your league, grandma...

“Maybel presents you with a homemade cake... but when you lean over to look at it, a boxing glove pops up from inside and socks you in the face! The cake was a lie!”

:o you monster!

HUZZAH! cracks knuckles

I wanna fight the bookshop guy...

Anyone go beyond 10 wins with Maybel does she drop anything after that?

So what exactly is the theme then? Is the Friendly Challenger name meant to imply that these will all be challengers we wouldn't expect to be fighters (like Maybel the sweet old lady)? That's what I got from the news post, anyway.

If that's the case, then I'm looking forward to seeing who else shows up to battle later in the year! :)

posted she got an Earth amulet at 25 wins and an Earth tome at 50. IDK about more than that, but there could be another tome or something at 100 wins or whatever, like with the other challengers.

29 BQs done and 10 wins on Maybel. It's been a battley evening. :)

Thanks very much. Good to know there's an excuse to keep battling.

You basically have it right as far as the friendly thing. We're going to have an NPC go out each month (that you'll still be able to unlock later) that might tie into the monthly theme or holiday or something. We're trying to do NPCs that maybe don't get a lot of attention or work really well with how we're going to play off the Cash Shop challenger.

YOU'LL SEE. I DON'T WANT TO SPOIL MORE. BYE.

Bookshop guy please! puppy dog eyes

I miss Throw back Thursday already!

yes support

Well it sounds exciting!

It's nice to have new challengers that aren't just the CS challengers. Can't wait to see who else comes out to fight this year. :)

i'm glad i'm not alone in wanting to see kain outside of gelly wars ;o; fingers crossed he's on the list!!

time everyone! Congrats on the wins against Maybel. Such a sweet old lady!

Silly question and hopefully it's okay to ask here, but is it any minion or only the ones sold in that particular shop (Minions Market)?

Battle Quests done for yesterday and today. Yay!

Unlocked Maybel and beat her 10 times each with Tos and Tharg and 5 times each with Gulp (T6) and 81 (T5). Gulp had no losses and really not much trouble at all. I think even 81 could go farther - especially if I upgrade my weapon mods to parched baguettes because her only problems were when she got frozen (and when I accidentally went into battle not at full health - of course with my littlest battler - sigh).

Manged to get another couple of wins on Ice King (Tos is now at 6). - he's starting to follow Tos again, but at least now she can beat him some more. :-) On the other hand, he can still one hit me, so I also got a few more losses. LOL And I probably should put some weapon mods on my Unstable Sample Syringe too. :-)

- Happy Birthday! I hope you have a wonderful day.

- it's okay to ask anything battle related here (and not a silly question at all). I'm pretty sure it's only the minions from her shop -

I was hoping to have been able to use some of the cheap minion I had gotten from other things/shops. I grabbed 5 cheapish minions from the right place just to have a go...

There's nothing more past 50 except for Earth Moonstone Crystals, Earth Defense Moonstone Crystals, & Dirty Minion Litter Boxes. IDK if there is anything past 222 tho.

It took me 5 Buttwings to unlock her.

BQ done and Maybel unlocked. :)
