The Battledome - one of NeoPets most important elements. Hundreds of people
battling each day. Want to know how to get the best out of your battle? Even
if your pet has stats below the others, there is still an even chance to win.
Items are the most important thing in your battle. If not items it is the strategy
with which you use these items. Both defence and attack items are important.
You don't find the best items in the ones that just attack, but the ones that
attack and defend.
General Defence:
For General Defence it is best to have a good defensive item. Healing Scorchstones
such as red, blue, green, purple, rainbow and jade, although a popular choice
are very expensive. I mean, you pay 1 million Neopoints for a rainbow Scorchstone
to heal 50hp, when for 3,000 NP you can get an amulet of life which restores
you completely to health. If you don't battle often these amulets are a much
better option.
The defending Scorchstones are also quite good. The Golden Scorchstone is an
exceptional weapon, blocking Grand Lightning Beam and Wand Of The Air Faerie,
two of the most popular items in Neopia, it is well worth the investment.
General Attack:
For attacking. You are best to mix and match. One use items are good as they
are quick to take away hp especially if your opponent is frozen or low on hp
and they can win you a battle, however too many of them can pose a problem if
you run out during battle you have no backup items. I have found good items
to be: Wand of the Air Faerie, Radioactive Snow, Hydro Hammer and Attack Fork/Grand
Lightning Beam. All of these items are great attack as they are constant, more
than one use and deal a fair amount of damage.
Items such as Wand/Staff/Rod of Nova, etc.... are also good items, however
with the chance of breaking they are non- too reliable.
Attack/Defence Depending On Your Neopoints
Under 100k
If you have less than 100,000 NP you are best to use the Grand Lightning Beam
and Attack Fork combination. This deals a fair amount of damage and it also
defends well. In terms of defence you are best to use the amulet of life, and
if you prefer a Scorchstone the red Scorchstone is probably your better idea.
100-300k
It's probably time for you to invest in a Wand of the Air Faerie. This is one
of the most popular attack items as it both attacks and defends a fair amount,
it also does not break so that is a big bonus. You might also want to think
about a Duel Expert Bow. In terms of defence you can think of a Blue Scorchstone
(30hp) or even a green Scorchstone (40hp)
300-700k
Now we can get serious. Items such as Hydro Hammer, snow flame and Thyora's
Tear are coming your way. Hydro Hammer gives good attack and defence, but is
no better than The wand of the Air Faerie, so keep it. Snow flame is very reliable
it has excellent defence and a decent attack too. Thyora's Tear can completely
defend you for one round and can be used once per battle. This is good if you
know what is coming you can defend freezing. Defence - Purple Scorchstone (50hp)
700k- 2 mill
Now you can get into Hidden Tower Items. Tiki Bomb Bag is good if you have a
few freezing weapons as you need one turn to get a Tiki Bomb. You can also get
Wand of Flamebolt, etc., which are good attacking weapons but are only in one
type. The best defence can be a Rainbow Scorchstone/Thyora's Tear.
2 mill +
NeoPets is your oyster lol....You can pretty much get what you want. Good Luck.
Freezing
Just a quick note on freezing. Freezing is highly important as it can be the
difference between a win/loss. Hypno Helmets are 80,000 NP (RIP OFF). Better
alternative is a Terror Stone, for 20,000 NP it is highly reliable and a good
choice.
GOOD LUCK IN THE BATTLEDOME! |
