Create-A-Weapon is a contest for those who have always wanted to see a specific weapon in the battledome. You can let your imagination run wild and create anything you like! This competition will be held monthly and trophies will be given out!

Creativity and impact will be valued during the evaluation of the weapons. Having the most powerful weapon (icon wise) will not get you more points. We look for ways to use stats which are not commonly used, weapons that are reasonable prices and new ideas! This month the theme is Regeneration!

This contest will run from the 1st of the month to the 20th. After the 20th submissions will be closed and a select few judges will judge the weapons and results will be given before the 1st of the next month. Where a new contest will start.

The number of submission will be limited to 2 per person.

Submiting a weapon is simple.

1. Have a name for your weapon
2. Include the number of icons dealt or defended
3 State weather your weapon is single use, multiple use, fragile. etc
4. Write any special effects your weapon has
5. Include a description for your weapons

This months Winner is Dlb0516

A very risky weapon to use but if it works, it pays off. Risky items are often underrated because people always want a sure deal when battling. This can help turn a battle around and that is what makes it intesting. it is not too overpowered either, very reasonable.

Description: Once an artifact symbolic of Illusen's purity, this seed was corrupted by Jhudora's darkness.

Does my seed thing count as two weapons or can I make another, low-priced one?

The seed is considered as two separatate entries so I think you should not be able to make another, also I think that the seed of life is over powered, though the idea is good. I think I'll make mine later though...

Weapon name: Potion of Resurrection
Price: Fluctuating between 500k and 800k.
Use: Once per battle
Icons:
Special effects: Limit One.
At the end of the round which the potion is used(i.e. after all offensive and defensive stances are done), the potion changes the current hit points of your battle pet to 1. If your pet's hit points after damage is not 0, your pet's hit points changes to 0.

[Example:
Pet A has 20 HP. At the round Pet A used the potion, Pet B does 30 HP damage to Pet A. Pet A's HP is 1.
Pet A has 20 HP. At the round Pet A used the potion, Pet B does 10 HP damage to Pet A. Pet A's HP is 0.]

Description: Take revenge with this potion! Time it right, though.

I thought it was a little overpowered but couldn't think of how to balance it. Perhaps it should be a Cove item?

Essentially lets you reset the battle without withdrawing for 1p, for 2p it starts the battle over, and will eventually be 'banned'.

Air Faerie's Aura
Price: 8.5mil tower item
Use: Multi-use until it works, then breaks for battle
Effect: Completely blocks all air icons received. The total damage these icons would have dealt (AFTER stances) is doubled, then recovered by your pet. The item can be used until it blocks air icons, then disappears for the battle. Doesn't use healing slot.

Essentially a high-risk-high-reward item, the Aura adds another layer of strategy to the current rampant use of PCC (and higher up, Gsword) by adding an element of risk to using it, akin to SOS vs Gshield. An opponent will have to keep shuffling the weapons they use against you in the hope of avoiding the Aura. This would encourage more varied sets higher up. Of course, they could also seek to disable it as early as possible by throwing a weak air weapon at it, removing it from the battle, though this may require them to use a weaker set to accommodate. These more advanced strategies would add an extra layer to the 'dome in higher-end battles. It would also see some use in 1P, especially having use against the giant ghostkerchief. Though the recovery effect sounds somewhat overpowered, for a pet being hit by the PCC's 14 air maximum at 200 boost it would recover around 150HP, which is usually not a full recover for a pet fighting others with those stats. That, and each turn the opponent doesn't deal air icons is a turn wasted, and it's easily disabled by weak weapons. Again- high risk, high reward. The price reflects this since it won't always be useful and even when used successfully isn't necessarily game-breaking, but can also be a life-saver if used just right.



Description: The air faerie swears by the protection her aura gives.

Weapon: Blessed Blade

Description: A young neopet once rescued a water faerie, and in return, she blessed his sword with healing magic.
Price: A cool 8.5 million in the hidden tower, 8 million on the TP
Semi-Fragile, 40% chance to break when used
Icons: 10 3
15% every turn used, DOES NOT take up a healing slot

What's this? A ghostkershield breaker AND it heals? It is partially based off of the legend of Excalibur's scabbard, which protects its owner from injury. (only the theme is regeneration ) This is a more offensively-minded healer designed for the 500 hp range, where a 15% heal is enough to matter, where such a weapon is accessible and where 13 icons is still usable. To make it more realistic and less easily abused, it will not break 60% of the time, which I think is decent enough to use.
