Attack

For newbie Battlers:
try 6 icon weapons

Here are some inexpensive examples:
Scarab Ring [highly recommended]- 2000np
Lightning scroll [highly recommended]-5000np
Bone Sceptre [highly recommended]- 100np
Cursed Wand of Shadow- 8000np
Pink Squirt Flower- 1500np
Cobrall in a can- 3500np
Lost Desert Dagger- 3000np

Try mixing icons, make your attack as
unblockable as possible

Here is a bad example,
Scarab ring + Lightning scroll =
The example above is to show you what not to do.
This attack would not be able to go through the faerie ability sink.

The following example is a good one.
Scarab ring + Bone Sceptre =
This example is good as it goes through sink and Burrow with 4 icons each.

For Intermediate battlers
You should have to give up the scarab rings
for stone clubs. Here are some inexpensive 9-iconers

Ice Club - 90,000np
Psellias Fighting Fan - 200,000np
Essence of Esophagor - 200,000np

The following shields will help immensely
in your battles.
Downsize! - 6500np
Leaf Shield - 8000np
Patched Magic Hat - 20,000np

Freezing

A great battle is when your opponent
can't move and you strike hard. This is
where a freezing item comes in. Here are the
inexpensive and reliable ones.

Snowglobe staff - 25,000np
Scroll Of Freezing - 80,000np [important battles only]

[Tip: Use Diamond Dust or Fiery Gaze to improve chances of
freezing along with Green frost cannon or snowglobe staff.]

with Uber powerful weapons, what are you going to do?
Steal them of course! Here are the most
inexpensive/reliable ones
