Full Version: Help with a mid level-ish set?
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Well, I'm new here and I'm looking to break out of my complete newbie battle set and get a somewhat decent set. I've browsed around the IDB site, but I'm still unsure of what I should get.

My pet's current stats are:
Species: Draik
Level: 26
Strength: 40
Defense: 40
Speed: 20
Health: 42
Intelligence: 17

But I'm currently training so his stats will continue to go up.

Current Set:
Obsidian Dagger
Leaf Shield
Fire Snow
Lesser Healing Scroll
Mud Mixture
Caustic Potion
Scarab Ring
Golden Geraptiku Talisman

As you can see, in need of a serious overhaul and upgrade. Blush

I only play 1-player right now. Probably that's mostly all I will ever do.

I'm looking to spend hopefully not much more than a couple of million.
you will spend some near it with this set:

Leaf Shield
Downsize!
Greater Healing Scroll
Snowglobe Staff
Honey Potion
Prickly Potion
2xScuzzys Comb/2xEssence of Esophagor
SDB:Scarab Ring,Patched Magic Hat

no much explanation needed, just pwn your opponents, if they block ligth use the essence, if blocks earth go with scuzzys
Quote:Species: Nothing useful, but not labbing
Strength < 200
Defense: < 350
Health: < 50

Freezer:
Snowglobe Staff or Rainbow Frost Cannon or Black Frost Cannon you don't have species freezers available to you and you don't have the budget for a 100% freezer, so you choice is to go for the cheap and lousy option or pay a lot more for the mediocre options. In 2p, I'd say go for the BFC, but for 1p, withdraw, heal and restart is viable so you can manage with Snowglobe. If it is a really important fight, you can snag a Scroll of Freezing or other fragile freezer.

Healer:
For now Blue Scorchstone is the obvious choic.When you to about 60-70 HP, you should upgrade to Greater Healing Scroll. At about 100-120 HP, you may wish to consider Short Sleeved Yellow Tunic. Above that, you'll either be short on healing, or you'll need to pay a lot more to step up to Crisp Blue Tunic or Bag of Healing Dust.

Offensive multiuse:
Since you are doing 1p with a pet below 200 strength, dual Prickly Potions are a must. Against strong opponents they will outdamage anything else you can get, and more than half the weapons you can only dream about. Of course you'll also want weapons for the weaker opponents, any of the standard 9-10 iconers will fit nicely in your range. Consider any combination of these: Ice Club,Stone Club, Psellias Fighting Fan, Pike Pike[idb], [idb]Essence of Esophagor, Golden Compass, Scuzzys Comb, Staff of Righteous Fury, Ramtors Spellbook).
As a cheapskate alternative, you are still at stats where the multihealing of Fighting Folder is meaningful, consider that if the budget gets tight.

Bomb:
While not cheap, Honey Potion is a must within your budget. In tough and/or important matches you may also wish to spend for single use and fragile bombs, such as Chocolate Chip Battle Biscuit, Shooting Star Muffin and/or Ultranova.

Defense:
You don't yet have enough of a defense boost for icon based defense to matter against any opponent against which you'll need it. Get a Downsize! and a Winged Scarab for your current defense options. Also make sure you have the faerie abilities Sink, Burrow, Drain Life and possibly Quench. Against individual opponents you may wish to use a 50% fragile reflector - notably Shovel Plus is strong against commander Garoo and Double Dryer is good against the Black Pteri and Giant Ghostkerchief . As a potential future upgrade, keep an eye on the price of Illusens Silver Shield - full earth blocking is strong against many 1p opponents.

Other:
Purple Sticky Hand is a bargain that is absolutely genius against many 1p opponents. Sabre-X, The Black Pteri, and GHM Chomby all pack full blcokers in their first slot, stealing those can get you a number of additional wins against those opponents.
