Chilldebeest tournament

[FigmentValley]

I kinda like this guy. Dark/water.

I will continue to update this post at the top of page 3, as we find out more opponents, and it can be copied / quoted to the OP

#	Opponent	Best Bets to Beat It*	Strong/Weak Elements
1	Skyger (dark)	Treasure. Living wood; or fire with anything but gem.
2	Fairy Ferret (nature-fire)	Ruby. Steamtrunk. Gem (with anything but nature). {Fire or water} with {anything but nature or dark}.
3	Racmoon (dark-earth)	Emerald or Treasure. Treent; or nature with {anything but electric}.
4	Elephantum (electric-dark)	Earth-fire. Treasure. Treent; {Fire or earth} with {nature, dark, electric or Xmas}.
5	Rockodile (water-earth)	Emerald. Poodle. Unicorn or Citrine. {Nature or V-Day} with anything but fire.
6	Volcamel (earth-fire)	Cyclops or cthulhu. Water-earth. Unicorn or Emerald. {Earth or water} with nature.
7	Porkupine (electric-nature)	Ruby. Gem (with anything but water). Fire with {anything but water or V-Day}.
8	Reindeer (Xmas-fire)	Cyclops. Earth with {fire, electric or water}.	earth.
9	Matripony (valentine with NO WEAKNESSES)	Still unsure what they have changed this time. It used to be that electric > valentine > water. Then last tournament they made nothing strong to valentine. Then this one there are conflicting reports as to whether electric > valentine or not. Just... avoid water, and please post whatever attack you used, and whether it was strong, neutral or weak. If you **** it with one critical, that does not mean it was strong. It means you were very lucky whether your attack was strong or not. ETA Wed. AM: Even though nature attack is neutral, a lot of folks are getting lucky using it, so it seems the best to try right now.	electric is only strong when it's our matripony vs. their electric element. When it's THEIR matripony, OUR electric is NOT strong. Try nature-a lot of people are having neutral attacks but lucky criticals with it.
10	Werewolf (earth-nature)	Emerald. Unicorn, ruby or cthulhu. Nature with {fire, water, dark or Xmas}.
11	Solar Simian (nature-fire)	Ruby. Steamtrunk. Gem (with anything but nature). {Fire or water} with {anything but nature or dark}.

13	Chimpala (earth-fire)	Cyclops or cthulhu. Water-earth. Unicorn or Emerald. {Earth or water} with nature.
14	Blizard (water-earth)	Emerald. Poodle. Unicorn or Citrine. {Nature or V-Day} with anything but fire.
15	Onyx Ox (dark-fire)	Earth-fire, water-fire or water-earth. Treasure. Treent.
16	Golden Retriever (ultra rare treasure)	Poodle. Another Xmas; or nature with {anything but dark or gem}.
17	Gargolem (dark-earth)	Emerald or Treasure. Treent; or nature with {anything but electric}.

30	Chilldebeest (dark-water)	Treasure. Any Xmas or V-Day; or electric with anything but gem.

*List of Best Bets to Beat It is in order: Best. Excellent. Great. Good. Read down the list until you find an element combo you have. Most players will not have the "Best" animal. But if an animal type makes the list, even the end of the list, it is a strong choice.

GRAPHIC AS OF 4/9/15 10:30am EDT that was already obsolete by 11:00:

(left=all elements, right=only basic elements [I define basic as always breedable to make hybrids])

• Elements with lines connecting them are strong or weak to each other. Above = strong / below = weak.
• Note that a few elements appear in the diagram twice (so that lines don't criss-cross).
• Electric is only strong to Valentine if it is their electric and your Valentine. If it is their Valentine, our electric is NOT strong to it.
• Graphic spaced out more, and some elements that were in the graphic in 2 locations are now in only 1.

[ninasidstorm8]

NOTE: I have been using Harpy a lot to gather data for the Lucky/Shamrock element. Most of the time it is a poor choice, so use at your own risk. I am also using the term Shamrock now to be consistent with other posts in this thread.

Overall record: 30-31*
*Note I actually had 1 additional loss not counted in that tally - it was a test to see if Valentine strengths changed again. They did.

Day 1: 9-2 (82% win rate)
Day 2: 9-7 (56% win rate)
Day 3: 6-9 (40% win rate) and at this point I already have more losses than I used to have in an entire tournament (before they starting handicapping veteran players)
Day 4: 5-11 (33% win rate)
Day 5: 1-2

[tobascmama]

I won first round with my retriever.

[FigmentValley]

Yeah. I lost the first round with an epic animal, too. Go figure.

[ninasidstorm8]

I kinda like this guy. Dark/water.

I am disappointed that it is a Dark/Water although it looks good. This is the 3rd Dark/Water tournament prize in the last 2 1/2 months.

[tuffyjkitten]

Finally remembered to check this game at update time and for the first time I am not starting a tournament 6 hours late!

Round 1 = solar simian C

[KatiesIslands]

Yeah. But it LOOKS good. Nearly all categories (elements?) of animal are full of critters. Dark water is no big deal.
