Because I am gonna make my Peophin the Battle Pet (and that I fear the effectiveness of fire icons on my Peophin), I am searching for an equipment that blocks fire icons effectively
I have a budget of 100k on this equipment...
hmmm 100k? well you could always buy say Flaming Oven Gloves they block 5 fire icons and two light icons, fire gem blocks 4.5 of fire icons or you could go with scarab ring which blocks 3 fire and 3 physical
or you could wait for the war to be over and hope that the price for a sophies magic hat to go down. I have a peophin that is my main battler...and I must say that it helps me a good deal since it blocks 3 fire, 5 earth, 3 dark, and 3 physical if you were to go with pure shield. Full Peophin armours are not worth the price for the icons it blocks.
A 15% weakness isn't a problem at all at your level. You probably wont see more than 6 fire icons a round, so I dont see much need for a fire blocker. If you really want one, make sure you're blocking more damage than what you would do by attacking. =)
Scarab Ring is the best option. 12 total icons at 2k, 3 of the defencive ones are fire.
If you feel 3 icons isn't stong enough, you might want to look at
Flaming Oven Gloves. However, you would probably do better just by using an 8+ icon constant.
Dont forget the faerie abilities quench, burrow and sink, all block fire. Again, The weakness is barely worth worying about until P-kiln level, but it wouldnt hurt to have a scarab ring. =)
Edit: changed resistance to weakness.

Not sure what you mean buy resistance? Fire is a weakness to peophins by 15% and trust me it can make all the difference. You would also be surprised what a battler could afford in 2pl and there are always the 1p challengers that can do massive fire damage...I mean look at the current plot war challengers.

I agree with this. It's unlikely that someone would target your pet species when making equipment decisions. Scarab ring will handle small amounts of fire quite well. Large amounts of fire are not seen much, except to get through gshield or in 1p where for some odd reason the challengers are equipped with red clockwork grundos.
I wouldn't worry much about fire, if your opponent can afford a pkiln just to exploit your peophin's weakness, then chances are with 100k, you can't do much to block it. Most you can block affordably will probably be 5 icons and you might as well block 3 and do 6 with the scarab ring. In the future, you might want to look at clawed shield, but once again, I wouldn't expect people picking on your peophin with fire.

Whoops, I mean weakness!
Thanks, its fixed now.

Yes, I'm aware of kilns and whatnot, but as Q77 said, if your opponent has one, there's not much you can do with 100k.

In the case of 1 player, yes, you should have a 50% fire reflector in your sdb, but its not something you would have in your regular set.
nah but it is more fun to reflect the fire right back at your opponents both 1p and 2p along with dealing damage with a constant while burrowing or sinking....my opinion though
Ooo... thanks for the helps!
I think I have Scarab Ring and even Flaming Oven Gloves somewhere in my SDB
I am usually participating in 1-player battle rather than 2-player battles, I only do 2 players rarely...
Yes, I do have Quench, and Burrow for my Peophin. I think I am one step away from the Boiling faerie ability.
As much as I am concerned, I think there is a huge number of fire weapons out there...
Sophie Magic Hat? it blocks 3 fire as much as Scarab Ring does...
I think I will have to weight out between Flaming Oven Glove and Scarab Ring...
Sophies Magic Hat is more of a multi-purpose shield to replace other shields you may have. I don't think the suggester looked at it as a "fire blocker". Just keep that in mind when making your decision.

Just so you don't have to learn this by expirience, using quench on weak gives the same effect as quench on strong but only uses 10% energy this way. Also, if quench "misses" any fire icons, you can use it again. It's the only other faerie ability apart from burrow, sink, drain life and a 33% healer i recommend using
.
I thought you could only use quench once per battle like sink, burrow, steam shield, boil, diamond dust and fiery gaze?
Yes it's once per battle- but you can use 4 things instead of 3 if you use quench on weak. And how many of your battles last more than 4 turns at your stats/budget? That's the main reason so many ratings take into account sink/burrow, because they can play a part in almost half or more the turn of any battle in the lower HP/Boosts.
