I didn’t have such a tough time beating Furry Farm, but I have a feeling this was because I waited a while to do so and leveled quite a few times. I think I was up to Lv8 when I beat it with some crappy equip like Obsolete Computer and Hazardous Waste. I had the same experience with Coral – but then went back and beat it pretty easily with a few XRs and good equipment after I got to level 10. I don’t think trolls are necessarily weaker nor more expensive, but it does take quite a bit of patience and testing to make sure you can tackle the forum first, which might be more difficult with this clbum.
