Morostide Challengers WAVE 1 & Battle Tells (New!)

Are you a battler? It's time for a special treat for you, the first wave of Morostide challengers! Head over to the Battle Coliseum to beat these terrifying challengers. Some of the challengers have new loot this year!

Released in this wave: Scary Chairy, Torchbearer, Pumgpulnug, Carrion Lord, Umbrus, Noflaik

BUT WAIT, THAT'S NOT ALL!!!

We are testing a new addition to the Battle Coliseum using these challengers: Battle Tells. A tell will show what an opponent does, ignores, or is weak too. LEARN ABOUT IT HERE.

ready for this to hurt my brain after i get home from grabbing meds and dinner

im so excited to see battling getting more attention & im kicking myself for being lazy about training my battle pet LOL, but i do relate to others that are feeling growing pains -- but it honestly just reminds me of back when there was an event we HAD to battle for and i remember begrudgingly figuring out how to train my pet and stuff lmao. now like a decade later battling is one of my fave things even if im not great at it. we got this yall we will figure out the new mechanics!! im scared to get my pets butt kicked by these "tells" lol

I had hoped, that with all the changes to battle as well, the problem with the challenger tabs might have been solved, but unfortunately every battle reverts to "Normal" tab still. And we can't open a tab or a challenger in new window or tab, either. Pretty please put that onto the to do list! If it wasn't for Jess' wonderful compilation and lists, all those event fights would be a nightmare! Esp. during events we need time saving on.

Battle Tells - interesting... this is going to pose some challenge with the harder opponents...

i understand!! i think I'm just overwhelmed in my personal life right now so it's my bad for leaking it here. I'm sure that i when I can get a chance to sit down and actually wrap my brains around it, I will enjoy it :)
( my head is overloaded rn haha!)

i do admit my most memorable battles with Raffe has been when I " punched above my weight class" and had to really think through it, and think for every move.
(i don't miss the heart palpitations and adrenaline though hahaha!)

Also, I filled out the survey but forgot to say that I really like the tells! As someone who is pretty clueless about battling, it helps to know beforehand if I shouldn't bother trying to freeze an opponent, what they're weak to, etc.

Well this is... interesting. I'll try it out after work.

SCARY CHAIRY MY BELOVED time to add to my

Keith could you at least see it in you heart to turn down the healing cost while the moro challengers are here. I think we are going to be doing a lot more healing than usual for some reason. LoL
There has to be a heart in there somewhere, yes?

Why do you smite me? Oh what a heavy heart I will have when I get my ass kicked now by some of these challengers.
Hope you can see the tear slowly running down my face. :P

@Flier Sorry - they aren't going to be optional. In general we try to shake things up year to year, both in terms of strategy and loot and this year isn't any different.

In this case, it's most valuable to launch something like this when we can get the most users providing feedback and filling up the logs with data, and you shouldn't ever expect something to launch exactly as it did last year or a few years ago. I'm sorry that you'll have to shift your strategies a little bit, but that is also the goal of making changes to things like this :)
Flier
Can we make the tells an opt in feature? :c
like hard mode where you can get extra stuff for doing so like double xp?

I've been literally waiting for and looking forward to moro challengers all year and tbh the new mechanics are killing my excitement.

I've been prepping weapons and scrolls and strats all year and having to change it all up when we're already overwhelmed with new features is kind of disheartening. :c

these should be tested on permanent challengers (maybe the para challengers) and not on limited time special challengers :c
ROCK
THAT THING LOOKS COOL AS HELL

I'll make sure to clarify that in the next wave, @Sirensong!
Sirensong
@Amber - Thanks for the clarification. The challenger page made it sound like the listed ones all had it.

@Sirensong some of the Morostide challengers will have new loot, not all of them.

Yay!! i have a question. The patch has this line: "Something else out there:
Now and then a pick turns up a hidden battle opponent too."

Damon
