Cooking is a fad, it comes and goes.
There's nothing you need extra stats for.
I remember SSMs you could use them to a good benefit, now extra stats is just icing on the lolendgame of mabi.
All the same. Festival Food doesn't make you gain weight and with the food this pet sells you can keep a continual supply of +90str food (+100 with r1 Food Mastery) which translates to an extra 18(20) gunner damage all with enough money to spare. I plan on using this pet to make that food for every mission I run as the money I get back from the mission will be more than enough to cover the food and repairs.
Actually, better yet I could do the +7int, +4str food instead for +70int(80 int) and +40str(50 str) for a total of an extra 26 gunner damage.
I'm sitting at 650str, 1200int most of the time so this food will be a very welcome boost without requiring any cooking on my part.
As of yet, I still don't have high enough gunner damage to one shot hard/elite mobs (unless I crit with shooting rush) in missions so until I'm able to do so, festival food and this pet all the way!
