New stud dilemma

New stud dilemma

Hi! This is mostly just me rambling, but I have a bit of a dilemma with my next stud. My beloved Flame Hurricane is retiring somewhat soon (a month or so) and I need to start thinking of a new stud. I have currently 3 choices and a wildcard option

Option 1: Theseus! Iridium lad with 4 markings so far, 530 stats and G3. He's a pretty good choice, just needs more markings.


Option 2: Shade! I'll change him up to the second picture with applicators so he will be Penumbra. He has 7 markings and 626 stats, but very high generation



Option 3: Xue!  I'll change him also with applicators to Umbra and give him more markings (gotta also turn him into male with the sex change potion) and he's G2! Low stats tho, 355 but I'm planning on making him a scout possibly



My wildcard option is Saturn, to whom I'll give the Corrupt base once I get it and she grows up. Needs the sex change potion too and some more markings and higher stats (currently at 308)



Interested to hear what people think! I'm not gonna stress over this, it's just an internet wolf but I need to have a new stud that looks presentable. I think that's the main goal, a presentable stud that possibly other people like the look of too and want to use for their pups. Here's hoping! 		Magpie

Really liking Xue and Saturn personally. I'm a more natural to semi-natural breeder, so Saturn really appeals to me being more browns/red/creamy colored, but has also got the mutation to further grab general interest. Xue on the other hand, while more in the realm of unnatural, is sort of just on the line between semi-natural and unnatural. To me either of these two could appeal to a larger audience in those regards, as they both fall on the line, so you could definitely attract less strict "natural" breeders (like me) and people who are all about the crazy colors too. You could probably achieve similar with Theseus too, and then he would also appeal to low-gen breeders, Tier 3 breeders, and maybe stat-breeders, depending on where you get him up to in stats (500+ is an amazing starting point to get a mid to high stat breeder, in my experience; just depends on how much work you put into him).

Honestly, if your goal is to make a presentable stud, all of these options are good, as they all have appeal factors. Shade to me is the only one with the most targeted audience, so to speak; you have a great design plan there, very eye-catching, but it would very likely be of no interest to natural/semi-natural inclined breeders. On the other hand, the design plan very much has the appeal factor for colorbomb/unnatural breeders, which is a large number of players.

@Darklily This is truly very helpful! I've never really understood what people really like here, but it makes sense that there's natural and unnatural colour breeders. With all the colour options available here, it just adds up.

If I could make another wisp stud I would, but time to change things up a little. Saturn is a wildcard but I honestly do consider them as a choice. I know I don't need to have a stud that appeals to a large audience, but it'd be just a really cool bonus. And out of all of them I think Theseus and Xue would succeed with that the best. Shade possibly too, but his high gen might be an issue but I'm not sure. Generation seems to be a big selling point, which is why I have two options with very low gen and two with higher gen.

All will be rather expensive projects at the end of the day, but I do have a month to figure it out. I'm just bad at making decisions 		Magpie

Well seems like Xue is out, she has been bred but none of her pups show up so I can't give the sex xhange potion. Well, that still leaves me with three choices! 		Magpie
