Battle Set Upgrade?

[returnofthebling]

My current pets stats are

Level   29                         Endurance  53

Agility     18                     Defence   52

Strength 27

 

I was trying to make him a "tank" (as in i make his defence really high to make damage minimal),as you can see ~

What weapons should i get my pet (under 500k please)

I currently have Patched Magic Hat and Scroll of Ultranova

I plan on fighting The Kreludan Bot mainly because battledome guides say he is the most profitable opponent to defeat,if they are any better opponents i can beat please tell me about them

Thanks to anyone who helps me out ~

 

Oops,i meant what equipment should i get my pet(each equipment being 500k at max)

Also,i train at swashbuckling academy

And i earn around 30k every day

- Maybe this could be helpful,i have a  10% discount at the Hidden Tower that i got via a random event

My pet has similar stats (Lvl: 27 Str: 52 Def: 52 End: 52 Agi: 51) and I use two turned tooths, which cost ~100K each. If you're planning on fighting the Kreludian bot, I could defeat him easily with a Ridiculously Heavy Battle Hammer and Snowager Sword, both of which are very very cheap. With two turned tooth, however, I can comfortably defeat the Koi Warrior, which drops more codestones.

[returnofthebling]

Hmm let me check out the turned teeth!

Yeah i have the first and used to have the latter,anyway let me check that weapon~

[balloongal247]

I love the Yooyu Knuckle Duster.  It's a 14 icon weapon that was about 65k last I checked.  Very good price for the power.  I've found the maraquan dome to be the most profitable, outside of premium, as it gives the most codestones.  The easiest opponent there is Koi Warrior, and he has 62hp at easiest, so you may not be ready for that yet.  I do the opposite strategy of yours.  I made my strength high enough that I can defeat all of my opponents while they are frozen and never need to defend, though my defence is actually even again now.  

You may want to save the 10%, as someone once told me there are really only two items worth buying from the tower vs trades, and they are not in your price range.  Unless you need the HT Rich avatar, that's about the only thing you can buy there in your price point, period.

@juliakare, You look like you are training agility, you know that doesn't do anything in the battledome, except very few weapons?  Not worth training.

[juliakare]

Yeah I guess training agility isn't worthwhile from a time / np standpoint - it just irks me if one stat falls behind the others. I'll look into the agility battledome weapons, and if they're not amazing, I'll stop training agility after graduating from Dubloons.

Looks like you've gotten some good advice already. So let's see. You want to tackle the S750 Kreludan Defender Robot, correct? If you haven't looked up his stats, here is the link.
http://battlepedia.thedailyneopets.com/index.php/oneplayer/viewprofile/189/

TDN Staff has worked hard to compile as much info as possible about the opponents including their prizes. SO many spreadsheets! LOL But we're looking at his equipment. Patched Magic Hat is not a great shield for this opponent. So keep it for another opponent that matches this item's icons better. For a shield similar to Patched Magic Hat, you might consider a Leaf Shield, (the green one) https://items.thedailyneopets.com/items/leaf-shield as it will protect you from his a large amount of his water, earth and Physical icons. He seems to have mainly those 3 icons, with an possible exception of Fire icons mainly from his Neutralising Ray. though that is Fire, OR water OR a couple of the other icon types combined.

Also, a MUST is Downsize!  https://items.thedailyneopets.com/items/downsize Once per Battle, it reduces ALL damage by 50% for 1 turn. Then  it disappears until the next battle. It's usually pretty cheap, under 10,000np for sure, but I believe it to be around 4,000np presently.

You should also have a healer. At your current HP of 53, you could go cheaper for the short term, with a Lesser Healing Scroll, which can heal up to 25 hp, once per battle.
https://items.thedailyneopets.com/items/lesser-healing-scroll Or, if you're thinking long-term and don't mind the expense, there is the Greater Healing Scroll. Which heals 50hp once per battle, but is about 200,000np. https://items.thedailyneopets.com/items/greater-healing-scroll

Balloongal247 gave a great suggestion in getting a Yooyu Knuckle Duster. https://items.thedailyneopets.com/items/yooyu-knuckle-duster 14 constant icons for 70,000np is an INSANELY good deal! SOME people have 2. Not me, I just have 1, but STILL! LOL

I'm also going to recommend something for Fire icons. Since the robot has a few fiery weapons too. Flaming Oven Gloves. https://items.thedailyneopets.com/items/flaming-oven-gloves They defend 5 Fire and 2 Light icons. Light isn't an issue here, but Blocking Fire might just help if you use it at the right time.

That leaves us with 4 or 3 slots left. 4 if you only get 1 Yooyu Knuckle Duster, or 3 if you buy 2. ;) Of course that's not counting your current 2 pieces of equipment. If you wish to leave Patched Magic Hat and Scroll of Ultranova equipped that's fine, but you won't really need them for this battle.

With the remaining few slots, you can load up on some battle muffins, preferably the 15-icon ones like Dung, Brain, Darigan, Icy etc. You can check out all of the Muffin items here. But the ones I named are cheapest for 15 icons.

https://items.thedailyneopets.com/items/search?q=Muffin&description=&image=&min_rarity=&max_rarity=&shop_id=&has_tag=&not_has_tag=&nc_mode=&per_page=28

To both you and to @juliakare Agility isn't used often, there are a few items that do use it. The main one being the Heavy Robe of Thievery https://items.thedailyneopets.com/items/heavy-robe-of-thievery Which a low intelligence requirement and an agility requirement of 201. This will then defend 2 light icons and steal 1 random weapon from your opponent per battle. However, the last I heard anything, Stealing is currently NOT working in the Battledome. So even if you bought it now while the price might be a bit lower because it's function is glitched, it would be pointless to equip it because it would just be taking up a slot. I thought I would mention it though, given the convo about Agility you guys had.

A bit on Freezers, they are nice, and can be important. However, they are pretty pricey. However for your level a Randomly Firing Freeze Ray, like the Kreludan robot has, would be a good start. Especially since it has a 50% chance of freezing when used. Then it vanishes for the rest of that battle. I JUST checked out the Trading post to see if there were any listed with a price, there are 2 and the asking price for one of those trades is 125k! I recommend trying for that one if you can! 125,000np is a fair amount, but I actually haven't seen them that low before. If you're playing Trudy's Surprise every Day, you should be able to earn more than 30k a day between gaming or whatever else you do to earn NP. :)

Also, here are few battledome article links you might also find useful.

The 500k battle sets. Basically, some recommended and relatively cheap equipment, with prices that are updated every now and then. To give an idea about how much each of the suggested items costs, roughly. Think of them as guidelines as there is other equipment out there too.
http://www.thedailyneopets.com/battledome/500k-neopoint-weapons/

This next article is the Basic Battle Weapon Sets. Very similar to the 500k sets, but this goes further, giving an idea how much battle "sets" might cost and various recommended items for sets ranging from Beginner to Elite!
http://www.thedailyneopets.com/battledome/basic-battledome-weapon-sets/

Lastly, the list of battle boosts. And the stat points you need to train to in order to gain those boosts for your pet's Strength and Defense.
http://www.thedailyneopets.com/battledome/strength-defense-boosts/

Weapons are pretty good, but if you ask me, the REAL way to unlock the power of a weapon, or the abilities of a shield, are best unlocked through training. My set would probably be intermediate, as my strongest multiple use weapon is only 15 icons. But with the maximum strength boost, which you get at 750 strength, is 16. So 15 icons multipled by the boost of 16, gives me a max damage of 240 hp, provided my opponent doesn't block any of it.

Ok, so one more link, Faerie Abilities. Since you are level 29, you should have access to 4 faerie abilities by now. Here is our guide on them. When you get to level 50, learning the Ability Lens Flare is HIGHLY recommended. As it will stun your opponent on the turn it is used. They will not attack or defend and your attack will go uncontested. Here is our guide on the abilities.

I hope this helps! Feel free to ask any questions if you think of new ones. Happy battling!

I have two yooyu knuckle dusters, but I have the two freeze abilities, so I always use the two pure weapons.  I agree that training is the best way.  As you get more training, you don't need extra high powered weapons as much, because you use them better.  I never use the more expensive parts of my set anymore, as I can defeat all of my opponents with the knuckle dusters while they are frozen from the faerie abilities.
