New Premium Battledome Opponents LivePosted by Herdy on February 24, 2025, 11:02 am NST
The recently advertised new Premium Battledome opponents are now live!
As with the other Premium opponents, they can be found in the Cosmic Dome. To begin with, Benny the Blade, Kaia, the Hulking Wraith, and the Shadow Phantom Tormentor have been added. Each comes with its own exclusive loot, as well as dropping standard Cosmic Dome loot like Nerkmids and Codestones.
TNT have also uploaded an FAQ about the new Premium perks. It reveals that retired challengers like these ones will be periodically rotated out for new ones, every 3 months. TNT have 16 total retired challengers lined up for this year!
The FAQ also mentions the Streak Savers, currently slated for the Quest Log and Trudy's Surprise, but at present it is not clear if that perk is active as there have been no changes to the user interface of either feature.

Wait, all these new BD opponents give out exclusive items? Rude. Well at least there aren't any stamps and just one book..

Hulking wraith on hard gives 1350np per battle as a reward!

Hulking Wraith rewards 1350 nps for its 522 Mighty difficulty/hps. Good deal. I think Hulking Wraith is my new go-to for as long as it available.
Kaia at 801 Mighty difficulty/hps also rewards 1350 nps.
Shadow Phantom Tormentor at 750 Mighty difficulty/hps rewards only 450 nps.
Benny the Blade 640 Mighty difficulty/hps rewards 1200 nps.
I got a load of nerks but none of the new prize drops. I really only wanted the book. Need more info on where it drops from.
I personally think that nerk adjustment was a mistake. The price halved making them less than ideal to sell and I get fewer codestones now which I need. Hardly ever a red, so I have to buy. It's a wash, I guess.

Will rotating those challengers take 12h of unscheduled downtime every time? 
I hope not haha

Did Shadow Phantom Tormentor on hardest difficulty and didn't get a single new prize, just the usual Nova and Gorunda the Wise garbage lol.

I just realized Kaia is "harder" than Shadow Phantom Tormentor on hard; 750 vs 801.
Didn't see that coming considering the difference on Easy between those two is so huge.

Shadow Phantom Tormentor on hard gave me the book, 5 nerks and 1 tan codestone and the rest usual junk items. Wished they would go back to pre-plot programming as it's been messed up since they put the plot battles with the additional 15 items when we were battling. No longer with the 15 extra junk items from there, but still so much junk and very few codestones and GSF hasn't been very generous with the nerks for me.

Sticking with giant bug on hard for the 15 prizes then switching to the one with 1350 nps

PS saving all the nerkmids till they mess with the drop rate and the price goes back up

This was not worth the 9hours non-notified downtime. the downtime and lost progress is worse then if they never added them at all.

Pretty sure streak savers is NOT active, since maintenance last night means I didn't finish QL, so today my quests reset from the last day to the first day of this stupid chicken prize. Uuuuuugh. AND we now know that they CAN give us grace for it, they're just not. Ugh.

The downtime did not have anything to do with these challengers going live, fwiw.

I assume streak savers will launch on March 1, as the FAQ mentions they reset monthly. This would make the most sense, but who knows with TNT...

Streak saver was up for me right now for Trudy. As I was unable to get it to work yesterday due to lag. I had just resigned myself to restarting it but sure enough, it asked me if I wanted to save my streak.

The streak saver is also up for me for Trudy today!

The new challengers' battledome equipment doesn't appear to be once per battle like some of them should be, not sure if it was like that before as this is the first time I've battled them...

not a premium user. the implemention of save tickets for quest log seem to have reset my streak. i had like 2 days until the weekly prize... not anymore

Looks like they made an adjustment to the Shadow Phantom Tormentor. Now rewards 1350 nps on Mighty. Fewer nerks today. More junk. And I got the Wellness Smoothie. No book yet. Will keep trying until I receive it.

The streak saver is live! You get a pop-up when clicking on Trudy's. It said I had 2 tickets available, but idk if that is per month or week or what!

@xoxopauline My mom had the same problem. One checkmark away from finally getting rid of that MQ Gelert potion as her weekly, then yesterday after maintenance had finished, her progress is reset and she had to start over AGAIN. But she *is* Premium, and it didn't save her streak. Which it shouldn't have had to in the first place because she got her checkmark before the maintenance. There was no reason for it to have had reset.

I got way more quests for QuestLog. Maybe that's the perk? I can choose how many and which I want to do.

It bites that I had to use one of my streak savers to do Trudy today. It wasn't my fault that Trudy never reset for me yesterday! I sure hope my streak savers reset today and give me back the one I had to use. Ugg.

I got a Wraith Pocket Lint from Hulking Wraith on Easy, wasn't sure where to report that so figured I'd post here since it isn't listed on his drops yet
