Gonna be like this, battle through dragons that for sure Nightfire will not win. Up comes a L-12 Night, so I figure L-13 Nightfire can pull this off. No, loses and in the spa for 2 hours. I may have her try again & hold on to Night because possible opponents have been few & far between, and I know she can and should be able to win! Geez...
Out of the spa, fed to L14 and won against Night. Two more regular battles to finish Ch8. Hoping Ch9 battles with her are manageable.
Good luck to those finishing Tales!
