Well as I'm a person who just has to have a goal and be working towards it I figure I'd ask all your opinions on what I should be aiming for to upgrade my set next.
Species: Elephante
Level: 20
Health: 31 / 31
Strength: GREAT (28)
Defence: GREAT (39)
Move: GREAT (23)
Intelligence: average (12)
Currently I'm labbing, though it doesn't look like it ^_^, I plan on training/labbing to get my stats near or to the following:
Level: 28
Health: 56
Strength: 55
Defence: 55
That being said I would also like to say that I'm going to be doing 2p once I get to the 55 boost but I'd also like my set to be good enough for 1p to beat war challengers, don missions, etc.
My current equipment is:
Downsize!
Makeshift Ships Hammer
Snowglobe Staff
Blue Scorchstone
Patched Magic Hat
Honey Potion
Prickly Potion
Golden Compass
SDB:
Steaming Skeem Potion
Jittery Jipple Potion
Stone Club
Purple Sticky Hand
Leaf Shield
5
Ultranovas
I'm looking towards suggestions in the 1-3 million neopoint range as that's what I'm working towards and I need a goal, as I said before. Also please no species only weapons as I'd like to get to the 125 boost at least before I pick a final species, currently I'm just gonna be whatever the lab makes me.
Lol yes I realize, and I am training. I just like to have a goal that I'm aiming towards, and I'm going to stop at the 55 boost for a little while and compete at that level in 2p battledoming.
For 1-3 million, I would suggest getting yourself an 11 iconer as a main weapon to replace your
Prickly Potion. I am really not in favour of that weapon at all. Look into getting one of the TCG blasters or else a
Sword of Apocalypse.
Throw in the
Steaming Skeem Potion for 2 player purposes to replace the
Snowglobe Staff. Request for no freeze battles, of course.

Yeah I wasn't a huge fan of Prickly Potion either but using it against 1p opponents is great, I could use it combined with a shield and defend myself, and still do more damage than other weapons I had plus I was defending myself so I could still survive. Now I realize it's worthless in 2 player bding. If you don't mind my asking which TCG blaster would you recommend, not regarding the price, just icon types? I really don't like the SoA idea as I'm not a fan of variable weapons I'd much rather know what I'm going to be doing.
Also just looking around, do you really think they are actually work the money as you can get 1 less icon on say an RSB or Scuzzys Comb for a fraction of the cost, and harder to block icons. It seems these TCG blasters are totally shut down or at least partially blocked by most shields, burrow, and sink.
I have personally tried
Bzzt Blaster and
Garoo Elite Blaster. And I have to say that they are pretty decent, if a tad pricey nowadays.
Bzzt Blaster has the advantage of air and water (not commonly blocked in 2-player), while
Garoo Elite Blaster has great amount of fire. With the latter, I would suggest pairing it with another fire based weapon eg
Skeletal Fire Gun or
Steaming Skeem Potion to REALLY see the magic
The reason I am suggesting the blasters is because I want to steer clear from suggesting the normal 10 iconers ie
Scuzzys Comb and
Ramtors Spellbook. The chances of those being almost COMPLETELY blocked is higher with all the light, dark and physical around in 2-player scenarios.
To me, your set looks a bit weak for getting past burrow, so you might need a bit of dark/light.
Ramptor's spellbook does get 10 icons through, but I'm going to suggest a Staff of Righous Fury. 7 icons of light through burrow, without being killed by Golden Compass.
If your opponent has a Dusty Magic broom or something similar, use your hammer instead
The staff does average slightly under 10 icons though, your choice.
Oh, and with the rest, TRAIN
Garoo Elite Blaster gets eaten alive by Scarab Ring though, so keep that in consideration. If you're going to get a S-Ring vulnerable weapon, then I feel the SOA is a better choice, variable or not. The blasters are getting too inflated. But
Goo Blaster gets my vote, always nice to play mind games with your opponent, slime them once then swap out a non-Leaf Shield vulnerable weapon next turn.
Avoid light in your primary attacker(s) as Cadaver says, too many dual-duties running around (including his beloved two swords!
). Packing icons to beat Burrow as Piano_Guy suggests is tricky, what with the aforementioned light dual-duties accompanied by GoC, but nothing a little prediction can't beat.

Quite frankly, I rather have the Sword of Apocalypse myself! The variable is actually not as bad as you might think. Owned it, loved it, regretted selling it (instead of adding it to my gallery 
)

You know me too well. I'm touched... 
Downsize! >> Your boost is too low to make use of this, PMH would probably block more than 50% attack, trade it for another attacker, maybe a ramtors spellbook?
Makeshift Ships Hammer >> Physical defence is nice, but in my personal opinion I see scarab ring as a better weapon, even if it is easier to block
Snowglobe Staff >> I hate these, used around 50 games before i got a freeze, it broke every round...you really need a black frost cannon.
Blue Scorchstone >> GHS when you get more hp
Patched Magic Hat >> I still use one... Consider Sophies magic hat
Honey Potion
Prickly Potion >> Fungus ray/Goo blaster for 1 player
Golden Compass >> No instant upgrades, apart from MoC, which does one icon less anyway!
Most of that shouldn't break your bank, apart from the TCG blaster. I would recommend you stop labbing as it will cost you a hefty amount to fix up your stats afterwards.

He is labbing, but his stats seems to say that he is doing a good job keeping things balanced, so I'd say keep it up instead
