Yeah, the plot pause is rather annoying. Unfortunately in the regular BD challengers, fighting them on Mighty is the only way to get higher amounts of NP, and when I battle the Obelisk Challengers on Mighty, I only get 300np per battle from them too. Such a shame TNT didn't increase the NP awards for the 1p challengers. I really hope they do, but I'm also not gonna hold my breath for that.
lol Yeah, I'm not a mind reader, gotta post in order to get a reply. But it's nice to see a reply in this thread again. lol
Hmm I don't either of them are very good. Whether it's the Shield of Revenge that only blocks 3 icons each of Water and Light.

or the Revenge Shield which offers a little more defense, albeit it variable and subject to change.

You're better off selling or storing either, imho.
I hope your progress through the plot went well before the plot paused.
