I will now attempt to go over some key concepts in battling, we'll cover Faerie Abilities, Boosts and a guide to battling round for round.

Faerie Abilities

These can be one of the most important factors in helping you win a battle, some will heal some will block damage done by different icons, others create items, some even freeze your opponent. I will make suggestions on abilities that I have found most useful, maybe you can even see an ability that maybe useful that I don't mention, remember this is just a guide and in no way set in stone.

Faerie abilities go according to your pets level so your pet will have to be at least that level to gain that ability e.g. your pet must be at least level 30 to get Dark Faerie Ability Sink. Sink & Burrow are probably 2 of the most important to get as a new battler, here are the abilities that are most useful that different faeries will give:

Earth Faerie	Dark Faerie	Water Faerie	Fire Faerie	Air Faerie	Light Faerie
Burrow  Level : 10 Defense Blocks nearly all Once Per Battle Regeneration Level : 23 Defense 33% lost HP	Drain Life Level : 21 Defense Drains 11% of opponent's hp up to a max of 100 hp and gives them to your pet Once Per Battle   Sink Level : 30 Defense Blocks nearly all once per battle.	Heal Level : 1 Defense 1-57 HP   Quench Level : 9 Defense All. Disappears after it blocks fire icons.   Steam Shield Level : 12 Defense All. Disappears after blocking light icons.   Water Breathing   Level:16 Defense All. Disappears after it blocks water icons.   Water of Life Level : 20 Defense 24% lost HP   Healing Vapour Level : 27 Defense 33% of lost HP	Fiery Gaze Level : 6 Attack Defense May Freeze. Disappears after freezing.   Boil  Level : 24 Defense All. Disappears after it blocks water icons.	Diamond Dust Level : 28 Attack Defense May Freeze. Disappears after freeze.	Restore Level : 22 Defense 33% lost HP

Boosts

What are boosts? Boosts are how we work out how much damage you will do or block, at specific stat levels your multiplier for damage & blocking will change below is a table of these stat levels.

Str/Def	Multiplier
0	0.5
8	0.75
13	1.0
20	1.25
35	1.5
55	2.0
85	2.5
125	3.0
200	4.5
250	5.5
300	6.5
350	7.5
400	8.5
450	9.75
500	11
550	12
600	13
650	14
700	15

Stance Multipliers

Stance multipliers will change the amount of damage done, examples of these are Fierce Attack, Jump Attack etc. N.B. Stance multiplier will only work as long as your pet has Power left otherwise your pet will always use Cautious Attack no matter what you select. Also note that what ever stance you use also affects the damage your opponent will do, so if you use Fierce Attack your opponents damage will also be multiplied by 1.4 likewise if your opponent uses Fierce Attack both your and their damage will be multiplied by 1.4, to add to this the effect is cumulative so if both you and your opponent both use Fierce Attack damage will be multiplied by 1.4 and then again by 1.4

 

Stance	Multiplier
Defend	0.8
Cautious	1.0
Normal	1.2
Jump	1.3
Fierce	1.4
Berserk	1.5

We can now work out how much damage you may do in any given round, this can be an important tool which allows you to calculate damage at critical moments in a battle, following is an example with some of the weapons listed in this guide, let us say your strength is 13, you decide to use 2 Scarab Rings with Fierce Attack stance, your opponent also uses Fierce Attack stance. How much damage will you do?

each Scarab Ring is 6 icons so

   

2 Scarab Rings	Str Multiplier @ 13 Str	Your Fierce Attack	Opponents Fierce Attack	Total Damage
12 X	1.0 X	1.4 X	1.4 =	23.52

this would be round up to 24 points of damage

 

Battling Round For Round

 

I will supply a little round by round guide that will work for most battles, this of course will only work if you fight an opponent that is not too much more stronger than you, its unlikely that snowager would be appropriate to fight if you're just starting out.

 

Round	Information	Weapons		Attack Stance
1	You must freeze your opponent this round, if not hit back on browser click on status link to withdraw, heal and go back, repeat until you freeze opponent.	Snowglobe Staff	Scarab Ring	Faerie Ability Burrow
2	Opponent is frozen	Sticky Snowball	Sticky Snowball	Fierce/ Berserk if you have it
3		Scarab Ring	Downsize!	Fierce/ Berserk if you have it
4	If you need healing	Scarab Ring	Greater Healing Scroll	Faerie Ability Sink
	Have quite a bit of hp still left (1/2 or more)	Scarab Ring	Scarab Ring	Faerie Ability Sink
5	If you didn't use heal last turn you probably need it now	Leaf Shield	Greater Healing Scroll	Defend
