its true, its really about how you want to use your pets. Don't choose a pet because other people made it look cool. I chose niss back then when fred was really popular not because I didn't want a fred like everyone else but because it would suit my instance preferences. Niss's sky thunder now does 5.4k damage to wind and water, 8.7k to fire, and 2.7k to earths when hfed so when she's doing instances, she truly is a beast. I can single-handedly kill all of the bosses in sea animals instance. Crazy now when I think back to how she use to be about a year ago. Now she's the ultimate pet I have because I spent so much money and time on her. I think she's about $2200 with im eqs, ss's, and the feeds along with pet scrolls from the mall and spending events. (I always waited until there was a scroll event where you charge some points for scrolls) Elin was intended to be a meatsheild so I just really liked using her on my wind who was also just a decoy. My fire knight(previously fire killer) was why I used niss since it was an excellent combo to have her hf'ed and then use lightning ice on the same turn. Works out great now, she helps me pass CP in only 1hour and 20-30 mins. Depends on whether or not the sharks kill a pet or my flamebrag. I just wanna say that the pet is all depended on preference. Don't go on a pet because someone else makes it seem cool. All pets are kinda c**p until they are really high level or if fed enough. For me....I just had the money from all my Chinese New Years so I was like, f**k it, what else am I gonna use this for? (and no, don't tell me college cuz I don't know if $2000 can cover even part of a tuition)
