My pet just got to tier two and now no longer defends 10 icons per attack type, but rather 2 icons per type. Is this working as intended?

Yup, the stats got changed.

This displeases me. Thanks for the fast reply!

Ah. That explains why my Tier 1 pet suddenly can't use it anymore, though it was able to a week or two ago. Any tips on a good alternative for a Tier 1 pet?

Personally, I would rack up your intelligence and get a Divine Denizhen Scroll (it's much cheaper to make one then to buy one). That way, you can defend with your scroll, and attack with two attackers.

Thanks for the tip. :) Can I use multiple scrolls at once or only one?

Only one scroll can be used at a time, although you can equip multiple scrolls if your alchemy points allow it. However, I wouldn't recommend equipping more than one infinite use scroll.

Thanks, that makes sense. I currently have the Champion Scroll for healing, which is really helpful since my pet doesn't have a lot of HP. It uses all my alchemy points, though. I managed to (barely) defeat JallyFash, but not having any luck with Ratticus so far.
