Quick question: which is it better to have, a level 35 cryoa or a level 35 cryodrayk?

Edit: GF2, if that matters.

Depends on the game.

In G1, the cryodrayk is a lot better since it will have earned more levels from being shaped than XP, and those are better in G1.

In G2 and G3, the cryoa is probably better, as it will be significantly cheaper and only a little bit worse. You could pump its stats and get something similar or possibly better.

In G4, it is the same paradigm as G2/3, except that you are unlikely to get a cryoa to level 35 so easily, so it may lean towards the cryodrayk instead. Note that in G4 both creations are less useful, since ice breath no longer has a 70% chance of stunning.

I like cryodrayks, because even though they're much more expensive, and have a higher chance of fleeing/going rogue, they have higher damage, and a lot of accuracy. I suspect that it may have more HP and spell energy as well.

Thanks.

The cryodrayk had a little more health, but a lot less spell energy.

I don't use either creature unless I really, really, really have to. As I've posted on other threads, I prefer to work alone. When I do create a creature, I tend to favor Glaahks and (when I can make--and afford--them) Ur-Glaahks.

If people don't think there's something wrong with you, there's something wrong with you.
