Congrats!!! I’m glad you made it in time :D

I was able to beat Stomper five times with all of my T11s, but it got harder the earlier into the tier they were.

I got five wins on the Hydra with my late T12, but he's close enough to the next tier that he might as well be an early T13. I got one win with my mid-T12, but decided not to try further because it would be too time consuming.

I got over my "it's not a global boss" funk and kept grinding. 162 wins for the army and still going.

Smallest with 5 wins: Ille Strength: 5584 Defense: 5590 Health: 8311/8311 Speed: 5580 AP: 221

Smallest with any wins: Besha Strength: 4147 Defense: 4157 Health: 6511/6527 Speed: 4149 AP: 221

Smallest I went with Stomper for 10 wins (next smallest pet was Tier 9 and didn't try): Lenses Strength: 3399 Defense: 3406 Health: 3580/3580 Speed: 3400 AP: 211

Glad you got your 5th win with the Stomper!

Got 5 wins on stomper with these stats, with a lots of lost though lol Level: 847 Health: 1676 / 2088 Strength: 2309 Defense: 2135 Speed: 2087 Intelligence: 1651 AP: 102 Tier: 11

Yeah the staff is the one item I don't have haha. I only have some of the Forj scrolls. I'll have to see if I can borrow from people later. Thanks for the advice.

Thank you so much for posting your strategy! Allowed me to get 3 wins on the stomper!

As a general gelly-question (not like, aimed at you specifically, haha), I'm struggling to get wins 4 and 5, and I'm not sure if my stats might be part of the problem? They're kind of uneven, should I concentrate more on speed or defense for awhile? Or is that negligible?

Battler looks like this, atm: Level: 966 Health: 5863 / 5863 Strength: 2952 Defense: 2356 Speed: 1427 Intelligence: 2593 AP: 162

It’s really dependent on what you’re struggling with. Is he just stealing all of your weapons and causing you to die or is it something else?

I would definitely work on bringing up your speed next. While uneven health builds are great, they can cause somewhat of a struggle because the rest of your stats become comparatively low for the tier.

Thank you for the input! I'll turn my attention to evening them out a little more.

As for the struggle- like I mentioned I'm using Grishui's method, with the turkey quill swapped in for the USS.

I keep getting unlucky and losing one of the good weapons (usually the blades) during the set up turns, and while I was still able to whittle him down using the knocker and the turkey quill for rounds 1-3, at 4 I can't seem to do enough damage to knock him out before he puts me in the ground.

That's part of why I was wondering if the lower defense or speed might be undoing me.

Would you like to borrow my Hand of Goddessbane and Ether? HoG is really good for him since its attack is mostly earth icons, which he doesn’t block. That + Ether should give you a chance to hit him harder.

Oh! That's very kind, thank you! If you're sure that's no trouble, I would appreciate it a lot.

Trade Lot It’s no trouble at all! I think everyone has been lending/borrowing left and right these past few days 😂

Got 'im! Even snuck in a 6th time! Thank you so much, I'm so happy to have finally won that slappy hand.

Trade Lot

Congrats!!! And you’re welcome :D

Any clues for getting one win on hydragellos?

Stats : Level: 2694 Health: 6479 Strength: 5199 Defense: 4451 Speed: 4465 AP : 193

Weapons : Volatile Energized Mecha Recycle Blaster Rainbow Vortex Soma Tablets The Ether Maniacal Essence Phoenix Quill Reviver of the Lion

I also have a Shinwa's Temple Shard I could swap in. Unfortunately the only other constant I have on the recommended weapons list is the Hand of Goddessbane, which is one of the worst options due to its attack being blocked...

Scrolls : Aftershocks Rage of the Paramnesia Rage of the Paramnesia Gift of the Forj Emerging Rifts

I can lend you Gelatin Slayer + Maniacal Slappy Hand if you want. That seems to be the preferred combo for most people. I prefer pairing Ether with Shinwas Sacred Bow or Tainted Keeper Skull Staff because they can block both dark and earth icons, but I suppose you can use earth defense crystals on it instead.

Trade Lot I have to leave soon so I popped them into trades. I also added Thunderball in case you want to swap it in place of the Rainbow Vortex. It gives a small stat boost like the Mecha. Good luck!

Thanks so much! I'll give it a try with this set, fingers crossed!

No problem! For mod crystals on those two weapons, I added four physical defense marquise to add to the little that Slappy does, and one each of light, physical, water, and wind attack marquise for some added damage. The varying attack crystals are because it helps you activate more than one curse at a time :P But those are just suggestions and it’s up to you!

If you need to know where to get any crystals from, check the “Opponent Breakdown” spoiler over here: The Guide to Mod Crystals (v2).

I’ve gotta go now, but I’ll be back in a few hours if you need any more help. Good luck!
