Stat Leeches!



Does your battle pet have a bit too much strength? A dash too much defense? A smidge too much speed? A pinch too much endurance? Well, the Battle Shop has the product for you! This new line of beautiful and not-at-all-terrifying leeches will suck away those excess stats and leave your pet slim and trim! Each type of leech removes two points of its specific stat. These leeches even work on capped pets!



EDIT: These are now minions as well!

These are beautiful. And useful too... But mostly beautiful. (I don't currently have any pets who need to reduce any stats, except maybe Level, which isn't available.) I've got a couple of pets who want these for their TCs.

Wow, I just was randomly reading the forum post where everyone begged for these. I'm not a battler but it sounds like a lot of people will be very happy about this! :D

Shame there isn't one for level. I know there are probably reasons for that, but I have a pet I wanted to keep at even tens that got hit with a level increase (from a scratchcard, I think?), and I'd love to be able to fix him.

Still, glad to see these finally happen. I may use some on my main battle pet eventually.

I LOVE this because I HATE uneven stats with my non-battle pets (odd numbers). So this lets me fix it from random events or job increases without having to spend a ton of time and sP training just to keep getting more uneven numbers. Love it!

Oh, it took me a minute to figure out what these would be useful for... but cleared that right up. I'm still semi-new to battling, since my pet is only in tier 7. But I'm working my way to getting it up there with the rest... so, I'm sure these would be useful when I need them!

Other things-- like time to stop and the sun to destroy us all HAHAHAHAha -slaps knee-

In all seriousness though, these are useless to me regardless. The training center always loves giving me +1 stat, so going two stats down to go gamble stats up is just as unappealing as just buying a booster to fix the uneven stats in the first place. These would have been 99% more awesome if they'd have just removed one stat :T

STill, amazing art though, I will be buying many of these for TCs I'm sure. So delightfully gnarly.

There's no level leech because level does not contribute to the stat total affected by the cap. For people confused as to why you would want to remove stats- some people hit the cap very quickly because their stats were already very high, but because of the distribution of their stats defeating the hardest opponents is more difficult than it should be. Reorganizing stats (usually removing speed and adding to the other attributes) should help some capped pets a lot.

We want stat reducers because when you have a finite number of stats you can possibly have (22k), you don't want useless stats floating around in things you don't need, like speed.

These have nothing to do with the stat cap increase; these are just something people have been asking about for a while.

We're waiting on one other thing before we raise the cap.

I may be a bit ignorant to the battlesphere but..... why?

Because battlers were promised a cap raise, and then denied it, this is a way around it I guess. LoL

These are used to slowly adjust your build because at the cap, you cannot adjust it. Speed is fairly unused so pets with too high of speed will want to move some of that to other stats, hp/str, you know, the useful stats.

Can I have the leeches after they've sucked the stats from the stronger pets so I can make my own stronger

Does your account have a bit too many sP? A dash too much CSC? A smidge too many CW in your wardrobe? I have the product for you...
