I've been training up a lesser hiryu that was spawned at 96% rating. So far it is up to 700HP/150Stam/1500Mana, 700/150/370 stats, 20/5/30 regens, 120s scrolled and CHIV/AI build with the native Dismount and Grasping Claw.
Anyway, I also have a PP Nightmare with an AI/Chiv build, same regens and base stats (but less HP and mana than the Hiryu) and I've noticed that the Nightmare constantly burns all its mana during a fight and on longer fights is working from the bottom of it's mana pool around, 20-50. The hiryu however, barely uses his mana and is usually only down to 1300-1400.
I haven't done any studies of the damage dealt over time between the two pets, but I was curious if there was an obvious answer to why they are behaving so differently. Is it purely do to the AI of the two creatures? Was it a mistake to waste all the time and scrolls on the hiryu? I know its damage type isn't as good being purely physical, but otherwise I thought its high points to build from would have made it worthwhile.
Thanks for any insight from more experienced tamers.
