NeoPets Guides – Battledome Tips

Neopets Battledome Weapon Guide The main objective in 1-P Battledome is to do the most or targeted damage possible and preferably done within a reasonable budget. Quantity over quality! Battledomers are seen as the most prestigious group in Neopia. To battle well requires skill, a strong Battledome pet, and (most of all) good weapons! Our collection of Battledome Weapons are specificly targetted towards those who want to have fun with retired or powerful items.

Date: April 27th 2002 – Revision 1
Disclaimer: The below guide is based on my own personal experience and it is your own decision whether to follow it. I will not be liable for any loss of NPs if you equip your NeoPet base on the below recommendations.

Part 1: General Setup
Before going out to buy equipment for your NeoPet, you have to first decide your NeoPet’s fighting style. In this Part, I will introduce some common styles and their setup.

Section 1: Balanced Setup

You want to have a balanced fighting style, with offensive, defensive and special effects weapons (such as freezing, stealing abilities). This setup is more versatile and should handle most situations well. Equipping will generally be quite easy. Even if one item is being stolen, it will not have a crippling effect.

Equipment Setup

Slot 1 – Primary Weapon 1 (max Attack Icons)
Slot 2 – Primary Weapon 2 (max Attack Icons)
Slot 3 – Secondary Weapon (Attack with some defense)
Slot 4 – Defense Weapon (max defense)
Slot 5 – Healing item
Slot 6 – Freezing item or Single Use item
Slot 7 – Bomb or Single Use Item
Slot 8 – Stealing item or Single Use Item

Section 2: Defensive Setup

You want to be more defensive and wear your opponent down slowly. Defensive weapons will be your main concern. This setup will be very good if you are able to get the best defense weapons, however, the equipment maybe more expensive. You would want to be able to defend against as many icon type as possible while still able to attack effectively.

Equipment Setup

Slot 1 – Primary Weapon 1 (max Attack Icons)
Slot 2 – Secondary Weapon (Attack with some defense)
Slot 3 – Secondary Weapon (Attack with some defense)
Slot 4 – Defense Weapon (max defense)
Slot 5 – Defense Weapon (max defense)
Slot 6 – Healing item (preferable with multi-use)
Slot 7 – Freezing item or Single Use item
Slot 8 – Stealing item or Single Use Item

Section 3: Offensive Setup

You want to be more offensive and concentrate on maximum attack Icons of different Icon type. This style is for NeoPets which have very high Health and have little concern for defense. Different types of offensive weapons is equipped to get round all types of defense.

Equipment Setup

Slot 1 – Primary Weapon 1 (max Attack Icons)
Slot 2 – Primary Weapon 2 (max Attack Icons)
Slot 3 – Primary Weapon 3 (max Attack Icons)
Slot 4 – Bomb
Slot 5 – Bomb
Slot 6 – Healing item
Slot 7 – Freezing item or Single Use item
Slot 8 – Stealing item or Single Use Item

Section 4: Other Setup

There are other ways to setup your NeoPet’s equipment, such as having mainly single-use items like snowballs and muffins, or other theme just for fun. These special setups can also be effective, but is usually for specific purposes. Usually, these are not very versatile.

Part 2: Weapon Selection Criteria

Here, I will list out some factors which will affect your weapon selection. I will use the Balanced Setup as a reference as it is the most common and effective setup.

Section 1: General considerations

Below are the general considerations when selecting your weapons. Points will be in order of importance.

1. Budget – How much are you willing to spend on each weapon. After allocating the budget, you can then search for the appropriate weapon to fill the slots. Note that expensive weapons are not always good and good weapons are not always expensive.

2. Species – Some species have cheap and good species weapons. Always check for species weapon before looking at the general weapons.

3. Opponent Type – Are you are going for 1-player challengers or 2-player battledome fights?

This will affect your weapon selection as human opponents are more versatile and unpredictable than 1-player challengers.

Section 2: Offensive weapon considerations

Below are important factors when selecting an offensive weapon. Points will be in order of importance.

1. Attack Icons – The number of Attack Icons is the power of the weapon, so you would want to get the weapon with the most icons. Some weapons have a range of icons, such as 1 to 4 Icons, for such weapons, you should take the average (ie, if it is 1 to 4 Icons, the average is about (1+4)/2 = 2.5 Icons. For 2-player fights, the Icon Type will be of equal importance.

2. Attack Icon type – Some Icon types are easily blocked or avoided. For example, Earth and Phyiscal Icons are very common, and there are many defensive weapons which blocks some amount of Earth / Physical Icons. Try to mix and match
