I have two questions, being a novice in the battledome. First, can you battle while your pet's in training? Or do you have to wait for them to finish?

Second, what exactly are these boosts? I was able to train my pet up to Lvl : 39, Str : 51, Def : 50, Mov : 23, Hp : 1 / 51 (I stupidly visited the Snowager, but I'll heal her back up) before the battle began and I ran out of codestones. Is it worth it to pay the inflated codestone prices to try for the 55 boost? And should I go for the boost in strength or defense first?

My weapons are all 6-icon (well, I have some that are 3/6 or 6/3 attack/defense); do I even need to worry about getting the boost with these weapons?

I hope we get to keep battling over the weekend, and it doesn't stop tomorrow...

EDIT: I just won a bottled air faerie from Tombola -- sweet!

Yes. ¬_¬

Question: Is it the idea that we battle them as much as we can, or just to get through as much waves as we can? 'Cause I can sit here all day and all night smashing these stones to bits (just like probably everybody else, I'm guessing). In other words: do we get more points if we defeat them a 1000 times than if we defeat them once?

Yes, you can battle in training. :)

Boosts are always always good since they multiply the damage you do by a larger amount. I'd say that the 55 boost would be helpful.

Yes, since the boost will let you do more damage with those weapons.

Thanks, atomicblonde. That was a very clear and succint answer. I'll get right on training -- strength first, then defense.

well my higest strength pet is taking 2-3 attacks to kill the stones. and one of my other pets got wiped out by one attack form the easiest stones so i wont be going far in this war lol

I have the feeling that we won't be getting credit for beating up on these things. In past wars we've gotten a trophy as we battle that tells us how many points we have.

I'm not seeing a trophy.

I recommend training strength and defence as evenly as possible, so as to avoid the higher codestone costs that you have to pay as your pet's level increases. Also, defence is very useful and underrated. A Leaf Shield along with a decent defence boost will prove very useful against many opponents, especially the current tombstone opponents, as all three of them do mainly earth and physical damage.

GIR, thanks for the suggestion. I'm just training up to get the 55 boost (see my stats above), so I won't have to level up; I figured it'd be better to get strength first then defense since these stones are only barely hurting me right now. But I can do it the other way if you think it's better (once the current strength training is finished). I'll look into a leaf shield, too. Thanks again for the suggestions.

So Much Lag! Even my work e-mail (which takes a billion minutes for it to load when I'm checking it at home) is loading faster than this.
I've only done one fight, but I'm stopping for now, in the hopes that it'll be fixed later.

I had no problem with the lag on ANY other part :(

hmmm...these are pretty easy, but then again, I'm just waiting for them to hit the point that they kill me...relatively...I only have 28 hp, so I don't think I'm going to be lasting much longer :oops:

EDIT

Guess what pinkflamingonewsgirl is going to be doing before the next plot...beefing up her Yurble...that's what.

I think before the next war, TNT should work on beefing up their BD server. :P

Yes, I agree :D

I have a question. How long do these waves usually last? Do we get all week to fight them or just a few days? And when a new wave appears, can we still fight the older/weaker waves?

Thu Nov 02, 2006 5:26 pm

*yawns*

Still one one hit kills... Upgrading my weapons was a very good idea, although I can't train as my battle pet has been sacrificed to the lab and so his stats are completely messed up.


I think I'll battle for a couple mour hours tonight and then call it a day

*battles lag*



...how do you steal weapons?
