If you're level 11 and want to win your first battle, usually a Talon Quest, you'll want your pet to have around 20 in health, speed, strength, and magic. And you'll want 2 strong weapons.

If you're level 13 and need to win a Knutt Knight quest, you'll want 20-50 in health, strength, speed and magic (more is better). You'll also want two strong weapons, and you'll want to wait until you get a quest for a weak card.

If you're level 15, you'll be battling quite a lot, so you'll need a pet that has minimum 50 in health, speed, strength, and magic. And that pet needs to have equipped two strong weapons. You'll want to battle cards that are weaker than your pet so you can always win the battle.

So, what weapons will I need?
Mace, at 16 icons worth of damage, is the best weapon you can get without spending millions (and yes, I am assuming here that you don't want to spend millions). You can either win Mace from Defend the Castle (level 8, 2 star), or buy it in user shops. Since you can use 2 weapons per turn, it's best to get and equip 2.
There is a current issue with mace, so it will hit less than what it usually hits. The issue is known and will be sorted as soon as possible.

Do I need shields?
Only if you want to use them. Most people just leave these slots open

How do I train my pet?
*You can train with the Gym:
The Gym requires crystals which are won from Haunted House quests. You can buy from user shops, too, but after a while this will become very expensive to do - especially during Maraween when prices tend to become insanely high, so best to stockpile your own hoard and best to start this stockpile as quickly as possible. How much to spend on each quest depends on your comfort zone and budget, so don't be afraid to let quests time out if they ask for too much

*You can train with Personal Training Quests:
Personal Trainer will ask for sports equipment that you can either buy from the Olympics Shop or from other players. Sometimes you will get a decent mp amount as the reward, sometimes you will get a stat or stats for the pet you choose. As with Haunted House quests, this quest can also ask for an item that's expensive. Don't be afraid to let the quest time out if the cost is too high.

*You can train with games
Some games will award a stat if you earn the right score. If you have the pet stats gift box, the stat will go to the pet you want it to. If you don't have this gift box, the stat will go to a random pet of yours. The games that awawrd stats are:

Fairy Flight
Gizmo Gravity
Gummy Bricks
Monty's Great Escape
Quack Mafia
Toy Blocks
Wallop!
Phantom Four (magic and charisma)

To find out what score you need for the stat you want, click the High Score Rewards icon at the game's gamepage.

You can also sometimes win stats from the daily games such as Clock Tower (free), Eleka Fountain (magic during selected weeks, 50rp), Extract Enpiah (500rp), Murfin Madness (500mp), Pixie Dice (1,000mp), Prize Drop (free), Sugar Stack (1,000mp), Sewer Struggle (500bp), Traps (charisma, free), Wheel of Fortune (10,000mp), Windmill (free)

Operations Portal (free) and Whirlpool (map required, free) can award stats, or it can change your pet's color, species or both.

You also have a chance of gaining a random stat from Queen Bee quests. She may also sting your pets, so be ready for potential hospital/medicine item costs.

*You can train with boosters:
There are 4 type of boosters you can use, and they all have a 2 hour cooldown:
*Max Boosters: Available from the Account Upgrades Shop. 5-10 gym, elite or magic stats
*Min booster: Sometimes won from Hospital. Can give 1 stat or restore your pets Happiness, Thirst, and Hunger.
*Regular boosters: Available from the boosters shop gives 3 - 6 Gym, Elite Gym, or Magic stats
*Theme: 1 gym, elite, or magic. If they don't have the name of a stat or have the word "min" or "max" in them, they're theme.

Which stats do I train?
You'll want to train speed, strength, health and magic, and you'll want to make sure that none of these stats get too far ahead of the other stats. Even stats are the best stats. Magic is the exception, however. It's the bulk of your healing in battle, so pack on all the magic you can, making sure to always keep it a bit higher than your pet's health.

And, speaking of healing....

You will want magic for healing, along with 2 healers. Since this is your healing during battle, you will want your magic to be higher than your pet's health and your healers to be the strongest you can afford. The healers can be bought at the weapons shop but since it's impossible to tell a healer from a weapon, you'll want to use my blog "Healers" to help you.

After the battle, you can either heal your pet at the Bubble Pit in Jenoa, or buy it a Health Tonic at the Health Tonics shop (species must match). If you have the Battle giftbox, your pet will be automatically healed at the end of the battle.

Who do I battle?
You battle trading cards which are either bought at the Trading Cards shop, or won from various games and fairy rewards around the site. All trading cards have both Health Points (HP) and Total Damage (TD). Health points are easy to see; they're right next to the card on the battle page. The TD, however, isn't easy to see, but they are found on my blog, "Trading Cards". For successful battling, it's best that your pet's Total Damage be greater than the Total Damage of the card you're battling. You can find trading card information from my trading card blogs or from my mara site (click the greyed out mara site icon on my profile to access my mara site)

How do I know my pet's total damage?
Make sure the pet has 20 or more in health, speed, strength then take that pet into battle via a Talon Quest from the quest page. When the battle has ended, look at the summary that's under your pet. The weapon damage amount tells how hard they hit. Add both weapon damage amount lines together and you get your pet's total damage, so you should only battle cards that have a lower td number than this. The stance bonus at the end is just whatever the game wants to give you at the end and should not be used as a measure of your pet's total damage amount.

It's also worth mentioning that you want these stats as even as possible for best battle results.

What about spells?
Spells are useless in battle. You only get 1 hit point per level of spell learned, with a max of 10. A lot of spells aren't even coded for battle, so they return a message saying the pet hasn't learned this spell yet. They are useful for certain pet jobs and Fire Fairy rewards, but those are the only 2 uses they currently have.

Great! Anything else I should know?
*Defense as a stat isn't important for battling, but it is important for other things such as Olympics, Pet Jobs and some Freelance jobs, so it's worth keeping even-ish with the rest of the pet's stats. Defense in battle is possible, but limited since the most powerful shield has 16 icons worth of damage. The same as Mace.

*Always start a Talon quest by going to the quest page and selecting Talon. Do not battle Talon directly from the battle page. It will not count towards your Talon quest total.

*Don't battle Wild Minipets until your pet has a total damage of 75 or more.

*Sewer Struggle shouldn't really be played until your pet has a total damage of 14 or more

*It's also helpful to be flexible about your battle pet's species or colour. The reason being is that at times throughout the year, there are events that allow free training for pets of a certain costume. There are also double stats weeks which are great for training - if the pet has the right costume on for that week or pet days in which that particular species gets free training and the stats go up by 3! Also, the Operations Portal, apart from doing nothing, can sometimes give stats or a transformation. If you do lose a transformation, you can possibly get it back with Drew quests, but they're often expensive and the certificates are quite difficult to obtain.

What about gems?
The gems from Lush Golf are toys, but they're meant to break and grant battle immunity. The immunity does not last long, and the gems can not be fixed by carpenter.
When your gem breaks, you get:
Ash Gem: 10 minutes of battle immunity
Earth Gem: 3 minutes of battle immunity
Fire Gem: 2 minutes of battle immunity
Light Gem: 1 minutes of battle immunity
Love Gem: 7 minutes of battle immunity
Water Gem: 5 minutes of battle immunity

What if I'm impatient and want to start battling now?
It's entirely up to you when you want to start battling, but I've found that stats of 50 or more makes battling less of a struggle, especially with Knutt Knight quests which you'll be doing quite a lot of at level 15. That's why there's no such thing as over-training. More stats = more power = more success

Even despite having the best weapons, a pet with stats and a decent deck, there will still be times where Knutt Knight will throw improbable or impossible opponents at you. Just let those quests time out and try again. Eventually you'll get a card your pet can beat.

What about Magnets and Venom:
They're both handy to use if you find you're in a battle against an opponent that's too strong for your pet, but they're expensive to use on a regular basis and should not be used as a substitute for statting your pet. Magnets take that amount from your enemy, heals your pet by that same amount and gives your pet that amount of hitting power. Venom takes that amount from your enemy and blocks their attack by that same amount. Both are single use items and will disappear after the turn is over. Magnets can be won from Gizmo Gravity while Venom can be won from Peoria Prey which requires map. Both can also be bought from other users.

What about Rarity?
Rarity doesn't mean anything in terms of weapon strength. The R numbers of the top 10 weapons are all over the place and the most powerful weapon has a lower rarity than the second most powerful weapon. Also, it's worth noting that the highest rarity is 50, and there are no r50 weapons worth having or using in battle. Only icons worth of damage is the true measure of a strong weapon vs. a weak one, not rarity.

How important is a strong weapon if you have a weak pet? Does it even matter?
It does matter! You can read about it in my blogs "The Value of a Strong Weapon and "The Value of a Strong Weapon pt2""

  • SpanishMusicFan 69 SpanishMusicFan@Tanament64 you need basically the same setup as any other battler although you can fight Talon with 20 in health, speed and strength instead of 50 (since there'll be a lot of battling between level 11 and level 15, you will need to train your pet to 50 in those stats)Reply
