stat leech does not remove 1 stat

if you use a defense leech on a pet with 1 defense, it'll tell you "pet lost: 2 defense points" but the pet will not lose any stats. i think this happened with the speed leech too, but i removed mephilia's speed a while ago so i don't remember x:
I think it's because it only removes 2 stats at a time and when they were first released, they could be used with 1 or 0 stats and cause underflow giving your pet like 2.147 billion stats. It should probably be fixed to either take your stat to 0 or throw an error and not consume your item, but in the mean time if you want 0 stats, you'll need to gain a stat
yeah, i fixed it right after i posted (and then put her back in defense training like an idiot so she needs... another leech lmao); i just figured it's annoying to repeatedly spend 10 tokens when i forget it needs 2+ stats to work so i might as well complain about it p:
it might be something that if you file a ticket, they'll refund you for. but yeah, I think it's something that should be fixed eventually
I can confirm that the stat leech disappears and do not reduce any stats when the pet's stat is 1. It happened a long time ago, and I just used a Shinwas orb to raise speed by 1 (into 2), before using another leech. If you have room for 1 more level, you can use the Gold or Silver Laurel to raise strength or defense by 1 before leeching.
probably, but i don't remember how many i used last time and i'm not fussed enough about the loss to file a ticket for this morning's one leech p: i just want them fixed.
thanks for confirmation on the speed leech, and the reminder about boosters o: thankfully mephi came out of her training with 2 def, so i just need to be more careful when clicking through everyone in the future ;w;
Thank you for confirming this.
Got a lot on my plate, but I've made a note to fix this. It will probably be mentioned in a Thursday sprint update when it gets fixed so keep an eye out :)
[edit] Have you guys noticed this is a problem with ALL the stat-draining leeches, by the way? No worries if not sure, I can probably figure it out by looking at the code later too

thank you! def keep it on the end of the to-do list tho, it's not a huge deal o: i only ran into it 'cause i saw a stat spread i wanted to try ;>>
& to that end i've only seen it with the speed + defense ones; i'd check the others but i don't have anyone left with health/strength below ten :c
Should now be fixed for all of the leeches! Sorry for the long wait on this.
Specifically, these 4 items:
Endurance Leeches Defense Leech Strength Leech Speed Leech
The code for these has also been updated a little bit, they were previously using some very old database functions so was in need of an update.
