Here are a few to get the thread started off with:

Quote:
Burrow blocks 97.5% of Air, Earth, Fire, Physical and Water damage when it is used at full Power (39%). When it is used at less than full power, whether due to using in on a reduced setting or due to using it with less than 39% power left, the amount blocked is 2.5% * Power used.


Quote:
Sink blocks 97.5% of Dark, Fire, Light, Physical and Water damage when it is used at full Power (39%). When it is used at less than full power, whether due to using in on a reduced setting or due to using it with less than 39% power left, the amount blocked is 2.5% * Power used.


Quote:
If you steal a single use or once per battle weapon from a 1 player challenger in the same turn which they use that weapon, the challenger uses it and you also steal it to use against them later. If you steal a single use or once per battle weapon from a 2 player opponent in the same turn in which they use that weapon, they use it but you do not get it.


Quote:
Blumaroos, Elephantes, Gelerts, Kacheeks, Lennies, Nimmos, Shoyrus, and Unis all have species healers which heal percentages.


Quote:
A Pteri can be cured of the diseases from posion weapons by eating food with "worm" in the name, even the cheap Worm Nugget.


Quote:
Pets can only have 1 disease at a time, so if you can give your pet another disease, it can sometimes be cheaper to cure. . Poisonous Jelly gives a pet Neomonia. Rottten Omelette gives a pet Ugga Ugga. Kyrii get Itchy Scratchies when they eat any food with "apple" in the name, and Quiggles are allergic to "custard". These tricks can be useful if your opponent has been using Super Hemlock Dart or similar weapons.


Quote:
A pet at exactly level 250 can train at both the Mystery Island Training School and the Secret Ninja Training School.


Quote:
To train a pet from starting stats up to the highest stats it can reach at the Mystery Island Training School (500 Strength, 500 Defence, 750 Endurance), it would take 2 years and 9 months if you started each course as you finished the last, and it could require up to up to 10,288 codestones - and that's not counting training Agility


Quote:
If two pets with the same Strength boost and species are fighting in a 2player match, and they both use Portable Kiln, Flame Reflectozap and Berserk attack, the battler who clicks the "Go" button first will deal more damage than the other battler.

Quote:
When using Prickly Potion you actually want your opponent to have a very high strength boost (I know I changed it, I meant like in comparison. Toungue)

Quote:
Though Punchbag Bob has no real weapons, he does have a Green Apple and the ability dark shield which blocks light. Inflatable Balthazar also has a Green Apple

Quote:
Sword Of Skardsen is actually an anagram of Sword of Darkness

Quote:
Most people recall that H4000 Helmet used to be Hypno helmet, but it went farther back than that. There was an original Hypno Helmet which was redrawn but kept it's name, then it got redrawn again and got changed to H4000 Helmet

Quote:
Faerie Slingshot can't actually do the most icons, the Darigan Sword Of Death is the most powerful which does 70 icons, 10 of each. However only one was released

Actually, it doesn't matter what your Strength is. I'd rather have a high Strength, given the choice Smile

I think he means, when using prickly potion, you want your opponents strength to as high as possible. This is also true for glowing cauldron and bracelet of kings.

sorry I mean that like in comparison so yeah

How's this for a fixed version:

Quote:
Against 1player challengers, Prickly Potion, Glowing Cauldron and similar weapons that attack with reflected icons use the challenger's Strength boost instead of the wielder's strength boost. Thus in such cases, your pets strength can be irrelevant to the damage you deal.

Freezer Timing Wrote:
When using a 100% freezer, you should generally use it on the first turn in Two Player so that your opponent cannot freeze-bomb you for the win. In One Player, however, it's generally better to wait until the end of the battle so that the odds have already played out (and your victory guaranteed).


I'm too wordy.

Also, I'm not sure whether we want to mention Pet names, but the thought of War history occurred to me (specifically that Majal beat two War bosses, even though upwards of a dozen Pets beat the Rock Beast). But for a neutral war-related...

Wars Wrote:
Contrary to popular belief, BDers have complained during every war.

Quote:
In the time of old, 1 player challengers could use once per battle items multiple times


I'm tired, ill get more later

Meh.. That's not really a fact, but more of an opinion Toungue It all depends on your strategy. For 1P, I actually like using my Freezer at the beginning Toungue

um.. what to contribute?

IDB is your 1 and only stop for BD information! Big Grin

Hrm, here's a more objective tidbit on freezebombing:

Quote:
A 125 str boost pet using Freezing Potion, Sword of Skardsen and a Ghostkerbomb can deal up to 360 points of damage in the first two rounds if the opponent does not defend any damage nor counter-freeze on the first round.

It's a fact, or at least a mathematically proven truth, Toungue. It applies far more with maxing out (or beating an opponent earlier than should be possible) than general battling, though (since you're far more likely to outrightly win a general battle).


Limit One, or Was It? Wrote:
Freezers, healers(?), and stealers were not originally limited to one per Pet like they are now.
