1-Player Opponent Abilities

[WiltChamberlain13]

While doing my test about the 1-player opponent boosts on Harry the Mutant Moehog, I saw that he had the ability Frost.  Screenshot:



Also, Count Von Roo has the ability Scorch.



Both my "discoveries" are not listed on the iDB website under the 1-player opponent profile thing.  Please double-check if you want and then edit the website.

EDIT: I just realised that none of the above screenshots showed that Harry or Count Von Roo actually used any power.  What does that mean?  Now this is for real, Harry the Mutant Moehog has Aura:



Harry the Mutant Moehog is amazing, Inertia!

Those are sponsor abilities, so they don't take up power, I believe. Also, moving to weapon info/updates.

That's correct, all four of the abilities mentioned are Sponsor abilities, not Faerie abilities. Sponsor abilities do not use power. Just clarifying.

... Then how come Harry the Mutant Moehog's power got from 100% to 20%? And no, he didn't use other abilities before the last screenshot was taken.

The only explanation I can come up with that doesn't involve calling you wrong: glitch. I now have screenshots of my pet using Scorch, Frost, and Inertia (I don't have Aura) and using no power during any of those turns. If you actually need to see proof, I could find a way to post them, but it doesn't seem like it should be necessary seeing as all three of those abilities are listed as Sponsor abilities (and thus, abilities that do not use power) on IDB already.

Is it still possible to get sponsor abilities?

If my memory serve me right, there is no way to get another sponser abilities anymore, there is ALOT of email send to TNT asking whether can open the chance to get it. BUT until now still didnt any reply from them.

Sponsor abilities are named as such because originally, you could only get them by signing up with certain sponsors. I believe the only other way they were ever available was when some weird glitch happened in which some people randomly lost their Lab Ray access and were given Improved Defend as a consolation, but I don't think you can still get it that way anymore.

One thing to note, before anyone suggests it, is that Sponsor abilities are attached to a given account, not a given pet. If someone's pet has Scorch, and they abandon that pet, and you adopt it, the pet will no longer have Scorch (unless your account already has it).
