So I've almost made it to tier 12. After 7 years I have 30 million sp in the bank, so I'm not close to any amazing weapon. Is it possible to still enjoy and beat some top challengers? My top weapons are the unstable syringe and paintbrush blades. I am still struggling to get win 30 on BQ.

I am able to borrow almost all weapons.

What would be an essential weapon I really should have?

Yes, Stats are by far more important than weapons. Once you Hit T13 using loot weapons is enough. I would invest in stats and scrolls over weapons.

Actually just did a test with this and only used challenger loot weapons and beat everything in the BC

Awesome it's good to know. I will keep training and Stat boosting. I will also keep buying the cs challengers when they become available.

Also on CS Challengers - most are just for fun and don't drop incredible loot.

I mostly love the EXP they drop, has helped me tier up. I just wish they were available all year.

For the 250csc that they cost, you could also get 20 million sP, which is two thirds of your lifetime savings and get a lot more bang for your buck from boosters. Unless you just like fighting them, which is fine.

As for the weapons question, if your stats are high enough, I’m sure even unstable syringe and paintbrush blades would defeat 98% of opponents.

I never thought about that theory of using the sP to just buy boosters. But that makes sense. Thank you

if it makes you feel better, three of the level 30 challengers are difficult, if not impossible for most T11 pets.
