Attacking is not the only way in the Battledome. You'll need to defend also.
This guide is to help you choose your defending item. Not ALL of them will be
shown here but I will put some of them. I will also rate the weapons out of
five stars so you will know if they are good.
1. Large Metal Shield - This cheap and useful shield is a good defensive
weapon for Newbies AND experienced battlers. Blocks 2 earth, air, fire and water.
WORTH: 4 STARS
2. Earthen Scorchstone - This weapon is pretty amazing for its price.
If you know some opponents that uses air icons, buy it and surprise them. Blocks
ALL air and 4 dark. WORTH: 3 STARS.
3. Golden Scorchstone - This weapon is a similar version of Earthen
Scorchstone except this blocks 1 different icons. Blocks ALL air and 4 fire.
WORTH: 3 STARS
4. Ice Shield - This weapon defends the same icons as Large Metal Shield
but A LOT more expensive because of its rarity. Only for gallery owners. WORTH:
1 STAR.
5. Shadow Shield - I own one of these and I love it, if you are able
to afford it go ahead and buy one. With all the Grand/Improved Lightning Beams
around, this weapon will come in handy. Blocks ALL light and 2-4 fire. WORTH:
4 STARS.
6. Shield of Soaring - Same as the Golden Scorchstone except it blocks
1 less fire icon. Why not buy a olden Scorchstone and leave this one alone.
Blocks ALL air and 3 fire. WORTH 2 STARS.
7. Mega Fire Shield - This weapon is pretty good in my opinion. Blocks
most of Tiki Bomb's attack. Blocks ALL fire, 2 water and physical. WORTH 3.5
STARS.
8. Superior Reflection Shield - An amazing weapon for defending. This
weapon can defend A LOT of icons. Blocks ALL water and light. WORTH - 4 STARS.
9. Umbrella Shield - The price is pretty high for this weapon but this
weapon is very good. Blocks a lot of different icons. Blocks 1-4 earth, 1-4
air, ALL light and water. WORTH: 5 STARS.
10. Thyora's Tear - A perfect defensive weapon for rich Neopians. This
weapon is a must for 3 million NP owners. This weapon will help you heal without
your opponent attack you. Blocks ALL icons (once per battle). WORTH: 5 STARS |
