Welcome to the NeoKnights Templars Battledome Guide! Be extremely subtle, even to the point of formlessness. Be extremely mysterious, even to the point of soundlessness. Thereby you can be the director of the opponent's fate. ~Sun-tzu Silvak's Battledome Guide Silvak's Battledome Guide is intended to be a tool to help our members find useful battledome information. We don't have time to update every detail NeoPets adds or changes regarding the battledome, so we rely on those who have invested time and effort to keeping up with those details. We appreciate their work very much! Below, I have listed the 1-Player challengers currently available in order by their difficulty. Further down the page, I have also listed the pet species strengths and weaknesses. In addition, I have made a list of the faerie abilities that I think are the most useful. I have also added info on strength boosts. However, the most useful part of this guide is the Battledome Databank of Neopian Times articles I have collected and organized. Go there to learn how to battle well.

Strength/Defense Boosts The effects of your pet's strength/defense do not increase gradually. They increase in stages. Large plateaus exist that keep pets with widely different strengths/defenses on the same level. As you reach a strength boost, the amount of damage your pet does per icon increases. At the same time when you reach a defense boost, the amount of damage your pet defends per icon also increases. The following chart shows the current strength/defense boosts that I know about, and it is based on info given me by my friend sirhatter. Pet Strength/Defense Damage Done/Defended Per Icon 1 to 7 0.5 8 to 12 0.75 13 to 19 1.0 20 to 34 1.25 35 to 54 1.5 55 to 84 2.0 85 to 124 2.5 125 to 199 3.0 200 to 249 4.5 250 to 299 5.5 300 to 349 6.5 350 to 399 7.5 400 to 449 8.5 450 to 499 9.5 500 to 549 11.0 550 to 599 12.0 600 to 649 13.0 650 to 699 14.0 700 or more 15.0 Alas, damage calculation is not as simple as multiplying icons times the damage per icon. First, some weapons don't do the exact amount of attack icons they show, and most defensive weapons defend a standard amount of icons that determines the true icons used to calculate the amount of damage defended. These calculations are complex and could lead to rounding errors. You can read my article on IDB to learn more. Second, the attack stance of both the attacker and defender modify the damage done in an attack. You must ignore the icons generated by the attack stances mentioned in this chart. The following chart shows the base effects of each stance (also courtesy of sirhatter). After you've used the above chart to figure your total damage per icon, you can mulitply that damage by the appropriate percentage in the following chart: Defender's Stance Attacker's Stance Berserk Attack Fierce Attack Jump and Attack Normal Attack Cautious Attack Defend Improved Defend Berserk Attack 225% 210% 195% 180% 150% 120% 105% Fierce Attack 210% 196% 182% 168% 140% 112% 98% Jump and Attack 195% 182% 169% 156% 130% 104% 91% Normal Attack 180% 168% 156% 144% 120% 96% 84% Cautious Attack 150% 140% 130% 120% 100% 80% 70% Defend 120% 112% 104% 96% 80% 64% 56% Improved Defend 105% 98% 91% 84% 70% 56% 49% If you think I should add more about this or I have something wrong, neomail me. You can also play with the IDB Damage Calculator to estimate your damage.
