Book Phoenix (basic stats) = 120,150,190,140,160,110
New Baby Phoenix Stat 1 = 120 + (300 * (30% [2nd highest stats same level] + 10% [both ranked S] + 5% [both Skinny] - 0% [loyalty has no penalty])) 300 * 45%= 135 120 + 135 = 255 for Stat 1
The other possibility is that the identical stats could be a cumulative bonus...
Since these 2 phoenixes are identical in stats, they would be then compatible in all 6 parts. If it is cumulative, then it would be 160% just for the stat similarity. The result would then be 300 * 175% = 525 + 120 = 645!!!
Obviously this needs testing!!!!!!!

Look for my posts in a thread about combining. I got some monsters with higher stats than parents. Nothing that good, but close in at least one case of one stat.
I'll try to break away from my backlog of games and university work as soon as reasonably possible to screw around with this. In the meantime, Lisa's examples are quite interesting, though they don't include loyalty or form, which we didn't think were particularly important at the time.
I think the best way to test this would be to take 2 book monsters and train them in only 1 stat such that their distribution is still in the same level. Basically, get both of their loyalties above 70 to avoid that penalty.. The rank bonus is negiligible, so they can stay at E class.
I need to make my cash cow start paying out dividends so that I can be financially sound enough to attempt it. I just -really- want to see if the identical stat bonus really cumulative or not.
Just remember when you train your monsters that you -do- get Stat gains when you win a tournament. You can only tell what you gained by looking at your monster's stats after the tourney since they don't show the gain on the screen.
