FOr example,I chose to beat the arena with Alexandra NOT by the fireball but by simply making her a fighter.For Alexandra,after the boost and with solblast rod,crystal madu,X-RR3 headphone,prismatic armor and fighting machine(or double trion if you prefer) Alexandra had 1000+ strength and ~1100 resistance.It was a pretty easy win.Of course Luciana recieved the biggest boost (200+ ) but it is a really nice trick it helped me a lot!
Eve!!!! I had been trying for maybe FOUR hours\to beat Linda with Alexandra before I go to the throne room and she dies. I had gone to the Cosmopolis Guard and levelled her to 75 to no apparent avail. I'd given her some ST and RS items, to no apparent avail Then I searched the forum for hints on Alexandra. I found your suggestion. I tried to do what you suggested above, but I had already "filled the gap" with Alexandra and was unable to do it again... So I used something you mentioned in your strategy that I hadn't used before... the red muen'de trick. I had Alexandra with the pollen weapon, though I could had used the sanctum words from her dream on the island instead. I gave her the Yveen triangular shield, brain dazzler, and particle barrier armor with with the double trion to give her half a chance against Linda. I saved before going in and fed her some red muen'de and did wizard/s revenge. I Storm of the Centuried through the first 4 battles and then before the battle with Linda, I did Wiard's Revenge and the ocean mana was still in place. I'm guessing it goes away after sleeping, but the ocean mana was with me the whole arena experience. My MN was a whopping 4299! I killed LindA with two fireballs after that. Thanks for ending my misery! It was your noticing that the red muen'de could be used for non-mermaids that did the trick for me.

Now I can go to bed! (Oh, I just checked with the Sanctum Words equiped and it says 4733MN... wow! ) My hubby says THANk you!
