The last few tournaments have been a relative breeze for me. Now I'm struggling with this one. I can't figure it out because there are a lot of fire animals, and I always get past them easily by dousing with water, but this time I am really struggling. I seriously wonder if something happens when we post in here. After the last tournament I mentioned that I am okay with spending a few gems here and there to complete a tournament. Now all of a sudden I am having trouble in this tournament. Like, can they go in my account and change my chances or something? Same goes with breeding. Some people post about how they don't spend gems, and I'm over here like, "oh, yeah, if I really want something, I will buy it," and I can never breed any of the limited animals. Well, I'm not buying any more! Not even 250 gems for Mamaroo! BTW, when I hear "mamaroo" I think of Rupaul as some of the drag queens call her Mama Ru! Anyone else make that association?
Hey Phoenix. I think these things are really random. I usually do well in these tournaments. But once in awhile I have one that I really struggle with and maybe not even complete. For no reason at all. It's a **** shoot. And I don't have a good breeding record at all. I hit a streak where I get a couple then nothing for months. I really do think it's all random. Go figure some people beat an animal with no problem and then I've spent a whole day on one. It can be frustrating at times but it keeps it interesting.Quote:

I don't really remember using my Ornament Octopus for battle before, but he has helped me defeat at least 3, maybe 4 opponents today! He just beat the Garnet Griffin with water, although his Christmas attack was weak.
Just like I posted many times previously, I think the game is random (based on probability) most of the time. However, the probability may be manipulated when it really matters (or during crunch times). It happened to breed rare animals in storybook events as well as in tournaments like this. I have been experimenting for sometimes. In some rounds of the tournament, the probability of beating my opponents was obviously much lower. For example, in many cases, I used an Ultra-Rare fighter with an element which is strong against the both elements of the opponent. It was probably the best I can do but it took me 7-9 rounds (consecutively) to eventually register a critical hit. It doesn't make sense at all in many cases while I can easily beat my opponents using much less fierce fighters. If this happens only 1-2 times in a tournament, I would attribute it to bad luck. However, if it happens 3-5 times in almost each tournament, I would say it's not just luck but the probability has been purposefully tuned down (or MANIPULATED). I think you can still win the tournament if you're diligent but be prepared to be frustrated. good luck to all.Quote:

None of these elements are strong against both though. Thus, I decided to use my Dumbledog (Level 15 Ultra Rare) with Magic (strong against Earth). It's the first time in this tournament I used Dumbledog's Magic. It failed 8 consecutive times so far (i.e., 24 strong hits in a row without a single critical hit). Compared to Mamaroo (Earth/Fire) in Round 20, I used Magic by Felione (Level 15 Super Rare). Its first strike was a critical hit. Was it purely luck or a manipulated act? I will never find out but I know it doesn't make sense. Anyway, I don't care and I will continue my Dumbledog strike to see how many more tries before I can register a critical hit. I will report back. Having fun!!Quote:

You increase your chances with the right element, but sometimes you hit a big bump in the road. The above is the best advice. Stay diligent and give yourself a good chance by using animals with strong hit chances. The most frustrating is when you are trying to breed a rare animal for a quest. Then it seems the odds get tougher. I'd much rather take my chances with a tournament than a breeding quest.
9 fails - still counting. Some may ask why not changing your fighters after 2-3 trials. I used to do that and do not have better outcome because statistically I'm close to a critical hit after a number of failed tries. So I am keep going like a fool.Quote:

I have also had a disproportionate number of times where I will battle for hours in an evening, go to sleep, and win the first round the next morning. It's as if the game takes pity on me. LOL
It does seem as if the probability of a win with a certain element is increased or decreased on certain levels in a tournament. Unfortunately, there's not really a way to know that until you've lost multiple times with that element. :p
