Agripinna gives 1500BT. Vlad 600BT.

Vlad gives 1200 under the effects of a Large Brew. Just FYI Very Happy

Haven't seen Agripinna yet.

Oh, I forgot brews added BT. If it's double, then Agrippina could give 3k+?

I'd say so.

1800 BT, 10000 luna, and 400 exp per unit (5 units total) under effects of the small brew vs Agrippina (did not need to use a potion).

Crap. That means I'm going to have to either engage in extreme poopsocking or have small brews going constantly to stand a chance of staying in the BT Points top 200, since the two large brews I have are all I'll get, and there's no cue that a boss is incoming.

Only 6*s I've fought so far required a potion each (unlucky ally selection) and iirc each gave a few hundred.

I have to rant:

I am so sick of the game "RANDOMLY" selecting my weakest allies and throwing them in the colosseum fights.
I noticed today that I would go into a battle with my weakest allies constantly. Not just often, but darn near very often.
It would pair me with my weakest ally and then the very next fight, guess who's marching up the steps of le grande collise' along side me with a broad "I'm so going to throw this fight" grin?
You guessed it; my favorite ally; level 15 William, for the umpteenth time that day, back to back to back to freaking back, I lost count afer 7 consecutive fights.
So what do I do?
I ask the person to kindly change their leader card, multiple times, hours later, level 15 William is still bouncing around the great steps of the colosseum, attached to my lead like some kind of lamprey eel. >.<

KICK! goes that ally.

All fine now, right?
Wrong, this pattern continued for the next TWO allies, and I am not kidding you. I go into consecutive fights with THE WEAKEST ALLY in my repotoire 63% of the time, (don't have the exact figures as I got so ticked I threw the paper out the window on to so poor sap's car.
So, just now I go into battle and I'll give you 3 wild guesses as to which of my allies RANDOMLY get slected to fight along side me.
I'll even spot you your first two guesses. -.-

So, good old RANDOM ally who is the weakest gets to boot, kick, slap, punch, bite & an earful of my ranting.

I'm serious when I say this my weakest ally was selected RANDOMLY over 60% of the time since I started keep track of how many times I went to the colosseum. >.<
It's a good thing I'm not buying card packs. -.-

Anyone else having this lousy luck?

I once punched a random number generator, it no longer works.

Yeah, kick weak allies? I think it also chooses from allies who have been online, so you may be unlucky in that most of your allies hadn't been?

Online status does play a part in it.
Out of all my current allies, only one person uses a unit different to everyone else and she never appears in the colosseum.
Only when she recently logged in did she appear at my side.

I was only able to notice that cause most of my allies just use Gloria as their leaders..... Neutral

In terms of kicking, those who don't log in for 4-5 days gets the boot from me.

But seriously with what pug is saying, this event is making this elitist game much more elitist.

Ah that happened to me today, except it was a Level 1 Nil, I think that's his name.. you know the postal boy. It was ridiculous -_- luckily I also got my Ally using Faith :s saved me with a 200k damage Area attack.

I had several online allies throughout the day. Unless my weakest were permanently logged on, I can't see how they would be chosen that much more often than another (say Crowex for example).

Ces't la vie. I'm not in it for the ranking, already got Achillea, but it would be nice to finish the event.

You wouldn't like me when I'm angry, I punch & kick things when I'm angry. Razz

If that's true then Agripinna gives 4500 BT under Large Brew, that's what I've gotten.

I've gone through the same thing today/yesterday. Out of 30 Allies, I'm down to 19 I believe. I kicked pretty much all of them due to them using low-level/star cards to get people to attack them ( which I find extremely cheap ). Speaking of, do they even get a victory if they are successful in defending like that, or is it just a method to troll others with into wasting their time? I've fallen victim to that several times already: find someone who's leader is about my leaders level/stars, then find out they have a six-star and loaded with Knockback on all units/allies. It's pretty shitty.

Its trolling/strategy - if anyone/everyone you're competing against attacks you and wastes their time you get to slide on ahead of them. It doesn't really happen in the upper boards (1-40) but you worry about getting thrown against 2+ MAXED 6 Stars.

The sad thing is I don't want to cut a weak ally who is active.
(Figuratively speaking I'm a weak ally who is active to many of my allies)
What am I to do; only have allies that are stronger than me? Then when are they going to use me?
Weak allies use me a lot and help me rack up the Ally points, but at this rate...well you know the rest.

Not in a punching mood right now.

This. I've run into people who I thought I could take and got owned, and that wasted 10 minutes of my time and denied me a victory.

On the flipside, you make a really shitty ally. *grumble grumble crowex and his William last night*

@Pugilist: I think you should have a balance between strong(er) allies and hopefully allies more around your level. Most of my friends list is now full of people who are either 1) my level or stronger, and 2) that I talk to, or have talked to at some point (ie a lot of forum people, and some allies that actually responded when I posted things). It's a lot harder to boot people I've spoken to. ;__;

I usually don't hold it against them if they're active and they don't have a great leader only if they're not using a crappy leader on purpose. Then I'd have problems. Very Happy

I had a perfectly valid explanation. I wanted people to attack my monster defense. =.= 15 unsuspecting victims attacked me. And no one broke through. So meh >:p

Lol, I could care less about the Allies I pick to do battles when it comes down to it most of the time; its really only when there's events where its a MUST to use my strong allies and that I have a choice to (i.e. Demon's Tower), othewise for things such as Grinding on 24-6 I just throw out random allies, normally whoevers on the top of the list.. but I also just scroll a bit to not keep it constantly on the same few.

I have a crap-ton of Brave that I don't know what to do with. Sure, I could use it, but I don't even want to waste the time to do so. Especially right now because I'm constantly grinding on Chapter 1 Training. Wish there was another way to use Brave.

I mean, yeah, I get that, but do you reeeeally need to do that during an event. I started up a battle to see William and someone else who was not particularly leveled I think. *facepalm* (To be fair it was the middle of the night, so I normally wouldn't have been on, but still.)

e: when I do 24-6 I go down the default (aka most recent on) list and just pick allies I like/talk to (which is most of them, there's some I haven't, so I don't really use them Razz

). I used to make sure I included my strongest allies (back when I was 4* or whatever, and had a few 5* allies) just to show them I appreciated them but when that's everyone, then just like, eh.
