GELATIN WAR!!!
Do you feel the ground shaking? Do you hear that wet squishing sound? THE GELATINS ARE COMING!
...Or the GELATIN, I should say. Normally when these things invade, the first thing I hear is the disgusting noise of thousands of mini gelatins sliding across the land, but something's different this time. I can hear the minis, of course, but they're faint, farther off in the distance. This thing out in front... it's heavy. Massive. I think it's Hydragellos... and I think it's been working out. Doing some core strength exercises, if you will! I know, I'm hilarious.
I don't want to discourage anybody here, but I have a feeling that we're not going to be able to take this thing down completely this time. With any luck, though, we can make its stay in Subeta so miserable that it won't stick around for longer than a week. Tell you what: as motivation, I'll personally retrieve a Hydragellos Maniacal Core from the beast for each and every battler who manages to do 5 million damage to it by the end of August 30. Don't worry if you can't hit that total; I'll still scrounge up some other rewards for you based on total damage dealt, and you can of course hack away at any smaller gelatins to see what kind of loot you can knock out of their jiggly insides!
WE CAN DO THIS, battlers! Now come on, let's show that gelatinous beast who's boss!

Mesa Rose has done a total of 295,172 damage to Hydragellos
I was too busy trying to get the other jelly achievements. Hope it is enough for something. I cant imagine doing 17x as many battles as I did.

a bit late to the game, but i'm really, really thankful this is the method we're going with this time. i want to say i suggested something similar in years past (or at least just thought about it) and it's absolutely the only way i could even stand a chance to power rank the way i used to before i worked full time. plus, now i don't have to feel self conscious about switching to my smaller pets in hopes of spinning up extra minor prizes, since i know that kolja has already netted me the big one. i'm pretty satisfied overall, thank you.

Goal: 5mill (approx 9k battles)
Reality: 100k (approx 200 battles)
I hope that's enough for the consolation prize XD

So...what's the MINIMUM damage we need to deal in order to get something out of this? My best pet is a T1 and he's done 124 damage so far lmao
I don't need the pet slot from the QAT so I'm just doing those for the endless weekend quests, but I don't know if participating in this is even like...going to matter for me in the end, I guess? I want to get more into battling eventually, I swear

@thatshamefulhabit - there's a link where you can check and see how much damage your pet has done. https://subeta.net/games/battle/dmg_total.php You can check one time per pet, every 12 hours.

If the Hydragellos has infinite health, and my pet does 0 damage. How long will it take to deal the damage required to kill it? Infinity/0? xD

Apologies if this has an obvious answer, but is there any faster way to determine how much total damage you've done than just keeping track of every round? Like, is there anywhere on the site I can go and check? I'm trying to calculate longhand right now, but it's my nightmare, especially when I'll have to go through thousands of battles to get 5 million damage (even with a Tier 11 battler with the best weapons I can afford).

5 million damage???
): idk how... need better weapons and a better plan of attack, T11 pet but no tier 11 weapons *sigh*

It may be a little less dramatic than a big group battle, but can I just say I really like that I can plan out my time now? Imma be battling all week anyway to try and make it but I really like that we don't have to try to beat other users's scores (top of the ranking list) as well this time around. Thank you for changing it up and trying something new, I like it!

I appreciate the advice and help offers <3
I'm adjusting my set so I've got a blocker back in there and more freezers and some better hits based on this and advice provided by another user through comments. If I can stick it into some more reasonable damage I might actually have a shot now -sobs-

@Funkykitsune
It's almost impossible to defend or outheal his attacks. So your best bet is to use full blockers (Shinwas Temple Shard, Rainbow Vortex and/or Amulet of Neutrality). Stuff as many in your set as you can, maybe bring some negating pylonics if you don't mind spending extra SP. These will give you a turn where you can't die. Combine this with freezers, add a 100% freezer to your set, use it on the first turn together with one of the full blockers (unless you can survive a hit without a full blocker, then you can use the blocker later), then resort to freezing scrolls to keep him chain frozen. Shriek of Despair and Psycho Smashers are the best. If you run out of those and still have AP to spare, then go for whatever else you have laying around - Gale Force, Perilous Whirlpool and Gelaspell.
If your pet has enough HP to survive a couple of hits, it might be worth it to take along a Phoenix Quill and Reviver of the Lion to give you two (near) full heals which might add another few turns to the battle. You could also add a Gift of the Forj for extra hp, but it doesn't help too much if you can't survive a couple of hits at least.
It also has this one hit KO attack. If you're not full blocking on that turn, it's over. So Phoenix Quill and Reviver of the Lion are a bit of a gamble. Better to try and chain freeze.

Looks like I'm doing roughly 4k damage each battle (as long as there's not too many of the 400 damage one-shot-and-you're-out battles of course!), so that makes all the training worthwhile! :D
This is definitely a better style boss battle than the previous one :D

You were inactive for at least five minutes, so your battle against Hydragellos has ended, but feel free to enter the fray again!

/Best/ case scenario for me is a minimum of 8333 battles to hit the 5 million marker. Though with the random puny 200 damage that keeps popping up from time to time I may end up with a five digit number there.
Not sure if I can do that but I am intrigued to try.
(Other fun math: Best case scenario for healing is it'll cost about 25mill for all the healing I'd have to do for all those battles.)

As someone who only comes into Subeta these days just to battle I'm really excited about this. Ive never been evolved with ANY boss battles here, due to other commitments and such, and since going from T3 to T12 in just under a year I'm so ready for this. Recently got my hands on a core anyway, so not terribly excited about the reward ahaaa.
Anyone got any suggestions for bigger damage, I'm going down the chain freeze route so far and only managed 62 battles lol. Idk what my average damage is probably 5k-10k? So roughly need 1000 battles. Glad the event is longer than usual boss battles.
Also will there be an overall best damage dealer list?

Nice, it looks like with my average I'll only have to do about 250-300 battles. That's about how many I used to do in the 24 hour boss fights(with sleep+food time, so probably more like 12 hours), so I should definitely be able to do this, even with the added time of spreadsheet tracking. :D

I think whatever is meant to be will simply be. We did just have a quest-a-thon recently, and it certainly isn't going away anytime soon for an event idea, so there will always be more opportunities for users to get pet slots, etc. So if this one fails, it's not the end of the world.
I wish BQs were part of the quest-a-thon because then battlers are still contributing through their unique ability to complete 20-30 quests when some players simply don't battle.

I look at it this way--if a lot of cores do go out, there won't be a need for a gelatin war next year since there should be enough in circulation. And honestly, I'd be fine with that because the gelatin war does have a tendency to be repetitive-feeling when it's been an annual event. I'd rather see different boss battles.

Well, sure! I totally see what you mean.
I just feel that having multiple events at once, along with the fact that school's starting for some users, is a bad idea: because sure, there's people who like battling, there's people who like questing, there's people who like both...
There's something for everyone perhaps, but that doesn't mean everything'll get done.
A few days is enough for Hydragellos, definitely enough time for the dedicated to get their damage in, but if it's going on at the same time as the Quest-a-Thon, then a week might not be enough for 1mil quests, especially when we haven't hit the halfway point yet.
I'm just worried that we won't get our promised rewards, just because the staff decided to spring a second event on us at the same time...

@Evy
total your damage output per battle, about 5-10 times; then average out those totals to get your mean. Then go to your statistics page in the coliseum, and see how many battles you've lost in total. Multiply your "lost battles" number by your mean score for damage, and that should give you a rough estimation of your total damage thus far. So if you've got a total of 400k damage, then your actual score should be laying somewhere between 300-500k roughly.

Are we taking over/under bets on how many Cores will be going out this year? I'm going to say over 100 but under 150, but I'm really interested to see what the final number will be.
I'm not sure how I feel about this - or rather, what my dominant feeling is (because definitely less anxiety about hitting the top 25 and having a strong lower tier pet try to be top of its tier but also.. that was kind of fun in a super-stressful kind of way).
I probably will spend the same amount of time on this as I did the last time with the focused six (four?) hour sessions, but at least I can pace myself and choose when I do it instead of forcing real life to work around the scheduled boss times. Thank you very much for unequivocally stating/confirming that there is no extra reward for doing over 5m damage - huge relief. I couldn't grind on it for an entire week and try to compete for top damage. ;-;
Also, to all talking about wanting a Concoction.. you should be able to get one this war if you haven't already earned one previously. It's an achievement prize for beating the Gelatin Wizard ten times, so as long as that opponent appears during the war and you can get the wins, you should be set to get that and then make your Maniacal Essence. c:

not every user is a battler. Not everyone goes to school. Some don't like doing quests but love battling.
It all works out so that everyone gets something they like.
Besides, a week is more than plenty of time to rack up reasonable damage.
I'd almost say a week is too long. Should really be a three- or five-day event for Hydra (so that it ends on a Friday or Sunday), while the rest of the gellies come at their own pace.

... In the middle of Quest-A-Thon, when we haven't even broken 500k quests? :
And school starts/has started for a lot of people soon, too?
Bad decisions. Bad, bad decisions. I'm kinda concerned that we won't hit 1mil quests now, haha...
I'll have to pass, to be honest-- even if Flandre's t8 now, she won't be doing awful much.
If there was some visual counter to show how much damage we've done, then maybe that'd be helpful? But it seems like it'd be annoying to keep track otherwise when I'm doing maybe, maybe 1k damage per battle. :')
Maybe I'll squish smaller gelatins for the EXP, but otherwise.. no thanks. I'll keep to questing.

@Reaper are you using shinwas crystal shard or vortex?
I'm hitting at least 2k with my T10... I'm using shard crystal to deffend + freezer + damage scroll (200-300 dmg), then 2 bombs + dmg scroll (1000-1200 dmg), and 2 infinite weapons (Knocker and Rift Staff) + Morosbane (900-1100 dmg). Sometimes I even can handle another turn.

Number of battles necessary to hit 5m damage if that is the standard damage I do: almost 3500
I don't have time for this, guess I wasted effort training all of my pets into various tiers to try and get a core that way. Seems like this is another round for the folks who are dedicated battlers and nobody else again.

Seriously, why in the everloving heck did this have to start during the questathon? I already missed several days of that because it had to happen during the eclipse (sorry not sorry, it was way too awesome to miss even if I did get stuck in traffic for days and miss part of a Subeta event), I have three 12-hour shifts this week, my computer is being stupidly slow for some unknown reason, and so I'm already feeling the stress from having to fit all the quests in somewhere. Now this too? I don't think I have time for both...and that almost makes me feel like doing neither, even though I was looking forward to both of these things happening this summer. Sorry for the whine, I try not to do it often, but ugh. D:

I have mixed feelings about the way the battle is set up now as it feels less competitive (which is kind of the point of battling in general), however I do agree that this will really help alleviate some of the bottlenecking that happens in the upper tiers. I do appreciate that, while not classically competitive anymore, it still involves dedication and effort and patience, which is something that really needs to remain a staple of the battling portion of the site.

I just try to relax when I'm here at subeta and do what I would normally do whether there is an event or not.
You can quest for awhile and then battle for awhile or vice versa.
No need to stress out over either event just relax and do your best but most importantly just have fun doing what you feel up to doing :heart:.
I do both I quest for a bit then I take a break and battle for a bit back and forth at my own pace and time schedule.
Good luck on both events everyone and have some much needed relaxation and fun :).
Thank you kind Subeta staff for both events the quest-a-thon and the battle event too :heart:.

Wow..... 5million damage.... I'm doing maybe 10k a battle tops, usually around 5k. So I'm looking at 1000 battles. That's way too many hours to spend... So I ain't doing that. I will try and do as much as I can just to get the other items, but damn... Maybe when my pet is stronger, I guess. I saw a T13 in the comments doing 25k per battle, that's awesome. Maybe one day.

Need to fight it just shy of 8,500 times to get 5 million damage. Gonna pass on that one. Even if I wasn't mid-semester right now that's way too much mindless clicking for my tastes. I feel like no matter how long I battle and train for I'll never be able to properly participate in any of these events, just because training is so slow, boosters/weapons so expensive, and real life is always so in the way (one of the downsides of not being in America is "a good time for an event" there is usually a rubbish time here). Ah well, if I can't even afford high-end Millionaire Centre stuff or spare any cash for CSC then the core is way out of my league anyway.
This isn't a bag on Subeta by the way, I'm just frustrated because I have so little free time in general at the moment, don't mind me :p. I've never seen a Gelatin War before so hopefully the little guys will be more my speed!

I'm going to say what the others said and ask for a damage counter too.
If this isn't competitive anymore, there's no reason to keep the numbers hidden.

So is there a place to see how much damage we've done so far? I started a spreadsheet for myself just in case not, cuz I have to know. (16,188 so far......)
I only see under battle statistics how many times I've battled but not damage... pleeeeeeeeeze? This spreadsheet is going to get really long otherwise. :D

I have been saving to buy the Hydragellos Core for my battle set. I saved 500 million SP and nobody was willing to sell it for that. Now I need to spend what, 6 million on heals to get it? It's super cheap :O
Consider yourself lucky that it only costs you 1200sP per turn. My cost per heal 15k sP which means I'd be spending around upwards of 6 mil (probably closer to 10-15mil) to get to 5 million damage. I haven't calculated my exact damage per battle but I figure I'm in he 5-10k range.
I get the idea that this is supposed to ne an sP sink designed to offset the Questathon, it's just a tad bit unfair to the battlers who have already spent millions to train a high stat pet. Spending 15k per heal can be bit of a strain when you're having to heal 500 times or so.

Just to clarify, there is absolutely no reason to go over 5 mil damage on a single pet. I don't want to get to the end and hear there are also prizes for people that did top damage beyond 5 mil.

@kbbob I don't build my pets the way that's the consensus in Battle, so I'm not so sure how useful my data is to you. Magie only has 168 AP for instance (not that more wouldn't be helpful, it's just too much of a pain to sneakily buy all those Shinwas Flowre of Mornings without driving the price wild). Magie is currently ranked 76, and she is even-statted around 6850 weighted ever so slightly for speed and defense for those weapons that fiddle around with what they do based on "which one is strongest".
I have chocked Earth damage baguettes in all eight of my mod slots since my two weapons already do these icons, this seems to get me a better overall damage punching through the (random) Maniacal Absorbtion than chocking in Critical tears, which got me around 20K per battle. I did twenty battles each (after I realized that my blessings were worth spit since they are disabled).

I have a tier 13 pet and just calculated it out on my averages and it will take me four hours, so I'm not sure what 
Mike is getting at. I've fought for four hours before in competitive boss battles, and have not gotten the top prize, nor even close.

You could also spend hours battling and not get the top prize. This just takes the chance out of it. I'm not saying it's perfect, but at least no one is wasting their time aiming to try and make top 20 and miss out by one or two battles.

For calculating how much you got: I got an excel open split screen and split screen my battle screen and every move I just add it to the column and it shows on top of the row how much I currently got.
So I know I got 104.563k in 6 battles :)

Also good grief calculate your damage average by watching what you do for the first like 3-5 battles or something like people have done in the past to work out scores it is the opposite of hard.

God people are so damn whiny
The prizes were different and you 'bothered' because you CHOSE to and wanted to win a prize. There are way more users around now that are high tier battlers and this is a much more sensible way of doing rather than forcing the top 20 people to not sleep for three days.

Even making it to 10 is straining my ability to concentrate. My pets aren't very strong anyway (not really an avid battler) so for them to fight - it's less like attacking with weapons and more like licking an ice cream cone the size of mt. everest. And the ice cream squashing them every half dozen licks or so. XD
Also, to whoever put this in -
"You lost to Hydragellos. Visit the Healer before battling again!"

I'm pretty sure this time all prize tiers will be done by total damage, with 5m being the highest tier.
I'm not sure what the other tiers will be. Keeping track will take you a lot of extra time, just do as many battles as you can.

Could someone please explain the prize tiers to me? or are they different every time? Is it by number of battles or amount of damage done? Should I bother keeping track of either? It seems like I'm always only 3 or 4 battles from the next tier and kicking myself.

This completely destroys the only competitive aspect of battling at the moment. I'm not even sure if I can muster up the motivation to get the top prize :(. I was reallllly looking forward to a boss battle, I love boss battles. This just makes me sad :(. I understand that it's tough for people to devote 4 straight hours to battling for a top prize but, then like rewarding the people who do isn't a bad thing. Nobody loses anything when they don't manage to get in the top X. But the people that do devote the time get to compete with each other and bond over it as well. I dunno this seems like the worst possible way to do a boss other than just making it a regular 10 win and done challenger :(.

You can use hoarded or cheap healing potions and fully heal fighting a small challenger.
Would be more effective, if the little ones would already be around serving as bait.

So I reached 10K damage and felt pretty proud of myself. So then I did some math and didn't stop at the amount of battles I need to fight, but actually figured out the time I'd have to spend if I spread it out the whole week. Yeah.... we're talking quite a lot of hours each day and man... my Netflix playlist is not going to watch itself so I'm going to have to have a pass. Kudos and a half to you guys who do it though... you are my heroes.

crashingnightingales
@aesop Well, when you put it that way I guess it's more of a tradeoff. Either way it still comes down to the cost of time versus sP. Either way its an sP sink!
@Allegria I feel you there. The cost of healing is certainly a pretty penny, especially if your pet has higher stats. Mine costs 15k sP a pop to heal!

So here's the irony... I'm using the Questathon to finally be able to afford a Natasha (a T11 Millionaire Center weapon) that would probably be nice and powerful against this challenger. However, if I do the challenger to 5mil then the cost of healing will hold me back from my savings goal of getting a good weapon that would be useful in the battle and do more damage.

@aesop Consider yourself lucky that it only costs you 1200sP per turn. My cost per heal 15k sP which means I'd be spending around upwards of 6 mil (probably closer to 10-15mil) to get to 5 million damage. I haven't calculated my exact damage per battle but I figure I'm in he 5-10k range.
I get the idea that this is supposed to ne an sP sink designed to offset the Questathon, it's just a tad bit unfair to the battlers who have already spent millions to train a high stat pet. Spending 15k per heal can be bit of a strain when you're having to heal 500 times or so.

It would be nice if we were allowed one confirmation of our damage by an admin. I'm afraid I think I'll be at 5 million, but have miscalculated (I know I should go over to avoid this, but what if I added a lot extra). I HAVE ANXIETY.

Is there going to be a top 'xx many battlers above 5 million' reward or is the 5 million the cap and it doesn't matter how much damage you do beyond that, you still get the core and no new super weapon?

just did some quick math, and it would take me about 3k battles to get to 3m damage. ouch.

aesop
@crashingnightingales - I'm assuming that it's supposed to be a bit of an sP sink. I calculated my average damage per battle (~1000), so it'll take me 5000 battles, and at 1200 sP per heal around 5 million to get it.
Calculate how long/much and determine if it's worth it I guess.

@aesop To get the Core, you have to get the 5 mil damage with a single pet. For the other prizes, you can get multiples depending on how many pets you battle with. Each pet will get the prizes up to whatever damage range it does. So if you have one pet that does 5 million, you'll get all of the prizes that are awarded up to the 5 mil threshold. If you have another pet that only does like 100k damage, then you'll only get the prizes that go up to that amount for that pet. If you have several pets that all do millions of damage each, then you can get lots of doubles for the prizes.

Is there any chance that the Healer might considering waiving some of her fees to help a poor beleaguered battler for the duration of the event? Surely, her coffers won't suffer as much as my pockets at such a time as this. Paying 15k a pop to have a go at the hydragellos is driving me into a the poorhouse. Save for the miracle of the Questathon I'd be going raving mad, having to turn my wee pockets out just to get my hands on a blessed core. Take a wee bit of pity on a poor battler will yee? ?I may be exeragerrating a wee bit, but my poor pockets are being drained as quickly as I fill them at this rate. But I'm ready to take her to court. This Hydragellos is going down!

@Laurey To add on to what Jason said: for the core, you have to get the 5 mil damage with a single pet as opposed to (for example) getting 1 mil with five different pets. Maybe in the future we'll have a way to check every user's entire roster and add up the damage, but not this year, unfortunately!

To clarify some things:
- The 5 million damage is for a single pet, over the length of a week (not a single battle).
- You can battle with as many pets as you'd like. All of them can get prizes based on the damage they deal.
- The only prize that is limited is the Core. It is limited to one per user, regardless of how many pets they have that deal 5 million+ damage.
