I have made some simple icons to help you understand these abilities in a simpler
and more easily understood way. You will see these next to the Abilities name:
! - A good ability that is effective in both 1 player fights, and fights
against other peoples Neopets
1st - A good ability to start with that is at a low level and that
is very effective
* An ability that has the same effect whether it used on Strong, Medium,
or Weak power rating (in other words, best to use on Weak rating)
Here is an example of the chart I made:
(Ability Name) (Extra notes:!, 1st, *)
"Small description"
(Faerie you get it from, level you get it from)
Strong (Power Rating): This is how much strength you use and how
effective it is when you use it (This uses 40% of your power).
Medium (Power Rating): This is how much strength you use and how
effective it is when you use it (This uses 20% of your power).
Weak (Power Rating): This is how much strength you use and how effective
it is when you use it (This uses 10% of your power).
(Extra Tips)
Your pet can only have 7 abilities to use at once. Here are my favorites
(based on defence, attack, healing, etc.!)
The Abilities!
Burrow (!, 1st)
"Your pet starts to dig a hole and mysteriously disappears underground,
avoiding your opponents attack!"
Earth Faerie, Level 10
Strong: This is the level of power that most people use the ability
burrow on. When on strong power rating, it can block all water, air, earth,
physical, fire and earth
Medium: Still blocks about 2-3 icons each of water, air, earth, physical,
fire and earth
Weak: Blocks only 1-2 icons each of water, air, earth, physical, fire
and earth
Tips:
· Some people like to use the ability burrow on their first turn on the strong
setting. This stops most attacks since most items have either one or two of
the icons burrow blocks. Since most snowballs also have water, earth, and physical,
this stops all of the snowballs attacks
· I like to use Burrow in spurts, usually on the Medium attack. It uses up
less energy, but still blocks a considerable amount of damage.
Regeneration (!)
"Your pet starts to glow with a mysterious light shed around them! Your
pet looks healthier!"
Earth Faerie, Level 23
Strong: This is the only successful way of using regeneration. It regains
33 % of your pets lost health, which is great if your pet has over 70 hp
Medium: Does Nothing
Weak: Does Nothing
Tips:
· For people with high hp, this is a very effective healing ability! If you
have an 100 hp pet, it can regenerate about 33 hp! For most Neopians with pets
with small hp though, it is effective, but not as worth it as say a healing
item for healing your pet.
· Usually when you see this it the amount of hp you gain will have decimals.
Luckily for you, it rounds off the number, and that is how much hp you gain!
Fiery Gaze (!, 1st, *)
"Your pet's eyes start to glow. Your opponent is frozen in their spot with
fear!"
Fire Faerie, Level 6
Strong: Since you can use this attack on Weak and still have a chance
of freezing, I don't recommend wasting 40% of your energy on this.
Medium: Same as Strong
Weak: Since you only use 10% or your power, you still have a chance
of freezing your opponent, and as an extra, it adds 1 light icon to your attack
Tips:
· Last Year Neopets changed the abilities Diamond Dust and Fiery Gaze. They
used to always freeze (without the extra light icon) but now it only has a
small chance (maybe 25%) of freezing your opponent · This is a favorite for
many Neopians who cant afford a Hypno Helmet (an item that automatically freezes,
about 150k). They will use it a lot.
· Don't be worried about the extra light icon. It doesn't really cause much
damage when your opponent uses it on you, it's just an added effect.
Diamond Dust (!, *)
"Your pet inhales softly and releases a deadly frost enveloping your opponent
in ice!"
Air Faerie, Level ???
Strong: Since you can use this attack on Weak and still have a chance
of freezing, I don't recommend wasting 40% of your energy on this.
Medium: Same as Strong
Weak: Since you only use 10% or your power, you still have a chance
of freezing your opponent, and as an extra, it adds 1 light icon to your attack
Tips:
· This is exactly like the ability Fiery Gaze, except you get it from a different
faerie at a higher level.
Magic Berries
(!, 1st, *)
"Your pet closes its eyes, and picks two magical berries from a tree nearby!
Earth Faerie, Level 6
Strong: You get two magical berries no matter if you use it on Strong,
Medium, or weak
Medium: You get two magical berries no matter you use it on Strong,
Medium, or weak
Weak: How does this sound? 10% of your pet's power for two magic berries
that heal 9 hp each? Sounds good!
Tips:
· This is an okay ability for pets up to 50 hp. Each berry heals 9 hp, and most
people use it on weak. So you can use up all of the rest of your healing items,
but still heal. Two at a time heals 18 hp, and using one of your pet's attacks
can still save you from losing the battle
Sink (!)
"Your pet starts to methodically spin, and disappears below the soil!"
Dark Faerie, Level ???
Strong: This is just like burrow, except it blocks all light, fire,
physical, water, and dark
Medium: Blocks 2-3 icons of light, fire, physical, water, and dark
Weak: Blocks 1-2 icons of light, fire, physical, water, and dark
Tips:
· I love to use this on Medium power also. This is THE defensive ability that
totally kills Grand Lightning Beam and Improved Lightning Beams! Most Neopians
use the Beams because they are great weapons, but they cant touch you while
you're underground!
· Most Neopians don't use this as much as burrow because most items use more
of the icons that burrow blocks, than what Sink blocks, but it's still a great
thing to use when you cant or don't want to use burrow.
Drain Life (!, *)
"Your pet starts to laugh evilly, and some of your opponents HP is sucked
through its body!"
Dark Faerie, Level 27
Strong: Since this is an attack that is equally as good on strong, medium,
and weak, I prefer to use it on the weak setting
Medium: Since this is an attack that is equally as good on strong, medium,
and weak, I prefer to use it on the weak setting
Weak: This is possibly the most powerful ability out there. This ability
can be used on the weak setting, and still have the same effects as the strong
setting. It sucks 11% of your opponents hp, and refills your pets health. It
may not be that strong of an attack against pet with maybe 25 hp, but with pets
that have 60 hp and over, you heal a considerable amount of hp from your opponent
Tips:
· This ability can be used anytime during the battle. The beginning of the battle
is good because your opponent usually has all of their hp.
· This is also a great ability to use on 1-player opponents and real players!
You can easily beat an opponent with 200 hp just by using life drain!
Using these abilities can greatly affect the outcome of a battle! These are
all of the abilities I like to use with my pets! They sometimes can easily take
the place of a great item, but instead of paying tons of NP you can get a faerie
and use the ability forever!
All of these abilities that I have listed work. Many of the other abilities
either do a little damage (some small icons) or don't work at all. Eventually
I hope Neopets will activate and make all of the abilities to do something,
but for now not all of them work
Look all around for faeries. They stock In the Battle Magic shop for around
400 NP-600 NP. They go very fast though! You can always check the shops and
auctions, although in shops the average price of the faerie is around 4000 NP.
You can also randomly get faeries from random events!
