    Mimic - pet build

    I have a Mimic at lv50 with innate damage resistance bonus. I put the obligatory stoneskin and blink on as always.

    I have read about Mimics that can clock up 1000+ winning streak but mine is lucky to get over 100.

    I have a chigeo and a dark elemental that can go 300-500 depending on what is entered against me.

    Do I need innate auto-regain as I read someone had set up to stun more?

    What is the best plate build for a mimic and your reasons for using these plates?

    What is the best temperament to set the mimic to and reasons for this?

    I know it's just a mini-game to get Jettons and I have 176,000 already, but this really interests me

    pankration is a rock/paper/scissor metagame

    mimic isn't gonna last against decently build elementals, which shouldn't last against decently build chigoe, which is always easy picking for mimics.

    basically tank > mage > melee > tank.

    I personally use stoneskin/ice spikes, since blink is kinda bleh considering most elementals are trained to open with ga, and spikes rapes the living shit out of chigoe or any other fast hitting melee type.

    I suppose you could go for auto regain, but considering death trap doesn't really do damage to begin with beside the poison ticks to really damage other tank type, and it won't stop an onslaught of spell barrage from mages, I'd suggest using the time you'd spent on getting a plate with regain/damage resist to just build other pets to switch around if you really need zeni.

    But I haven't really fucked with pankration much as of late, so who knows, maybe my knowledge of it is outdated.

    I have 180,000 Jettons now and lv50 Dark Elemental, Air Elemental, Chigoe, Mimic.

    I don't really need jettons/zeni anymore.

    I was just curious from the posts I have been reading why Mimics seemed so strong on some servers.

    Maybe they been fighting NPCs to get 1000+ LOL

    The mimic champ that I've seen is very good at using death trap to stun casting opponents, so even most elementals don't do very well against it.

    That's what I figured

    I guess no point in raising a mimic that doens't have auto-regain then, thank you
