I have heard it's better to bind demon in a p8 TZ.

In theory it might make a difference, but since the Demon usually doesnt die and also only supports, I dont think it really matters. Aura Level, Curse Radius, Speed, none of it should be affected.

I've heard both ways. Would be interested to see someone test it in depth. Some say it doesn't matter because the demon's stats scale up and down with player count, some say the stats are snapshot when you bind it. Some say terror zone matters because you can get a higher level demon with a stronger aura.

In reality it doesn't matter though... Because...

I’ve heard lots of conjecture but nothing with any substance showing p8 is better.

I guess the answer is… maybe??

We tested it. Demons bound in p8 keep 4.5x the hp when brought to other games, whether the new game is p1 or p8, hp scaling only occurs at moment of binding. Its locking in base HP as a stat.

test was using a1 smith in p1 vs p8, brought to hell act 5 bloody foothills and hit with a poison catapult, in p1 vs p8. Smith from p1 died in 1 hit in both p1 and p8 games. Smith from p8 lost only a % of his max hp in p1 and p8 games.

Can easily test this via PvP I think.
Bind a normal demon at P1, hostile, let some1's Emilio (without any crushing blows) poke it until it dies, record how long it took.
Bind same demon at p5 or above, repeat.
