Until recently, I didn't realize how much of a difference elements and better gear make in battling, so I died a lot without a tank and good gear. I reached Aykios and am starting to regear and rank up slightly better statted pets.

I was wondering what the theoretical highest wild stats you can get are. Is there a minimum amount of each stat for super stat pets that you should aim for atm for endgame? I saw that some people beat the final boss with the old max stats, but I'm not sure if the fight has become more difficult since then.

I picked up this really pretty rikki with some wild stats, but I know there are pets with higher stats. Is it better to invest in pets with even higher stats, or is the difference fairly marginal?

biggest differences aer in attack ranks, equips, barracks

tht rikki is about as close to as high as they can be (highest wild stats are on Vex rikki themes and captured leg/maj lg themes -example- n they degrade with each gen removed from lg pet, so you can expect a bit of +stat loss getting a 6v supermax from one)

not even max stat pets are strictly neccessary they just make it easier (esp hp stat wth its different level bonus curve). we've only ever used our main team to fight the temple bosses *we have beaten them all including vex), and they're all sub-max (Voulges has the highesr stts of the three by a point or two)
