Yaaay. :D I got it with a score of 9,362. I'm pretty alright at the game because I'm very logically-minded (but this is a bad thing with some games that I struggle with more than others, like Petpet Sitter hahahaha I'm terrible at that game). I'm rarely able to get game avatars because usually they're way too out of reach for me but I'm quite proud I managed this on my second try.

Something Has Happened!
You are now eligible to use 'Goparokko' as an avatar on the NeoBoards!
 
 
Just got it with a score of 9628, thanks to this piece of advice:
 
 
 
My previous score of 7k something was obtained through trying to get big combos, and the timer would run out on me while I sat there thinking in the later stages of the game.
 
But this time, I played on EASY mode and just kept turning blocks as quickly as possible. To be honest, I didn't even focus too much on trying to get combos after the first half of the game. I just went as fast as possible turning blocks the whole time, always looking out for special blocks (the timer, the x2/x4 blocks, the dynamite, or the locked blocks) to get rid of first.

I find the easy difficulty level to be the best to score higher. I did it on easy tonight.
 
Good luck, everyone!

Yes! Finally a game avatar I could get easily. It took me two tries, thanks to my practice during DD this year.
 
I got it with a score of 8,588

I got the avatar! I'm kind of amazed that I was able to get it right away. My score was 8880.

Yay new avatar :D

I obtained the avatar with a score of 9736.

I've managed to beat the Duchess 80 times on easy, I'm hoping to average around 50 wins against her per day. I've also racked up 100 wins each against the Assistant Scientist, Smug Philosopher, and Charming Subversive. Battling is getting tedious, but it's nice seeing how my training and weapon investments are slowly paying off.

Well looks like my training has partially paid off. I can now beat the Duchess on the easiest mode without worrying about dying. Unfortunately, that is still not the case with Professor Lambert. I've gotten a few wins off of him, but a lot more losses. I've also managed to beat the previous tier of opponents on the mighty difficulty, but I don't think I'll be able to do that consistently. I'm hoping to boost my pet's strength to 200, but I'm still 19 away, so that may not happen in time.
 
Have fun battling everyone! :D

Welcome back to the old Order members and welcome to those joining us for the first time! I LIKE the positive attitude here! Let's keep it going! :D
 
Siniri, that's REALLY good advice for Zorna. The 50% light reflector lens is the Expert Lens. I can list the other 50% fragile reflectors by heart if anyone needs the list. (i used to use them all the time, still do sometimes, in a pinch) ;)
 
Also, I thought these guides from the Battlepedia might help.
http://battlepedia.thedailyneopets.com/index.php/oneplayer/index/14/ This one is the challenger profiles of ALL the Obelisk War challengers, including faction leaders. Pick the one you're fighting against, and you can see what weapons and abilities they use. Thus, you can plan your set and/or strategy accordingly. ;)
 
This other link is a guide for fighting each WAVE of the challengers. Suggested weapons for each wave are included.

Be sure to check out the challenger profiles though for fine-tweaking your sets!
 
And now that I think about it, I'll include 2 more links. 1st To the stat-boost list. Shows how many points you need to get to each boost (icon damage multiplier)

Lastly,
This link to our Basic Battle Sets guide. It has some prices, from around the time of the war. So prices may have changed since, but they'll give you an idea as to what the average prices are.

I hope these guides are useful! I figure since we have some rookie-battlers, they might be.

Perfect. You surprise me, Neopian. I'm pleased you were able to complete my task.
 

For your efforts, playful_minstrel's defence has increased!

Congrats thieves! I'm jealous of your new avatar and site theme. It's sad to fight 2,000 wins for no return, oh well. Maybe the next battle...

Yay, I chose right this time :D *hugs new avatar*
 
I guess we understand now how all this works.
 
Every other week there'll be a three-way fight like we've just had. If you're on the winning team you'll get the avatar & theme for that faction. If you choose wrong you get nothing.
 
So in theory, in twelve weeks someone could have six extra avatars, while other people might have none...
 
I guess it's quite a good idea, but it could soon get very irritating if you keep making the wrong choice!
