Ugh, Meerca Henchmen Advice...

[Johnnydontgo]

I just can't beat these guys. Here are my stats/current lineup:
Agility : 18 (mach 2)
Attack Strength : 57 (EXCELLENT (57))
Defence Strength : 36 (GREAT (36))
Current hp: 0 / 113
Level : 22

LDD/scarab ring/Leaf Shield/Lightening Scroll/Scroll of Freezing

I freeze them first round, but their vry first attack bring my HP so low, that one round of freezing really doesn't help me. Any suggestions?

dual water muffin to wipe out health?

I would train to the 85 boost for strength, as a minimum.
If you have the cash to spare, spend 10-11K on a thick smoke bomb, which is essentially a one-use Thyoras Tear. (Blocks all damage for a turn)
Also, Freeze bombing them wouldn't hurt, if you can afford a honey potion.
The only other thing I can recommend is a weapon upgrade, to an 8 or 10 iconer.

Thats a wee bit extreme Chao. I beat them with 55 strength boost, 55 defence boost and 70 HP.

I also used, Honey Potion, Leaf Shield, Iron Lupe Sword, Shaken up can of Neocola, Snowglobe Staff, Illusens Earth Potion, Greater Healing Scroll.

A few good abilities are Drain Life, Sink, Burrow.

But if you're really desperate to win, you can invest in a couple of one-use items like thick smoke bomb and water muffins.

Yay shaken-up can of neocola! Well, I think that the dula muffins will save much time and cost, I used one against meuka to win (on the 20or th try). It's the easy way to win, smoke bombs are good too. You could do smoke bomb+scroll of freezing first, then dual muffins, thick smoke bom+ water muffin till yo're out, or you win, easy, but getting to 85 str and 55 def is a good idea.

This is what I'd do in a battle to end it as quickly as possible. Get a thick smoke bomb for the fight.

Turn 1: Use the S-Bomb, and berserk with the fruit bowl, and use the H4K.
Turn 2: Use the Honey Potion and Fruit Bowl on Berzerk.
Turn 3: If you've taken considerable damage, attack with the fruit bowl and use your healer, then use burrow or sink.
Turn 4: Use whichever ability you didnt use last round (burrow or sink), With your main attackers.

That's all I can tell you, I know how tough they can be.

I beat them when I had the 55 strength boost and 184 HP. Here's what I did:

First turn: Used my two strongest multi-use weapons (mystery fruit bowl and iron lupe sword) plus drain life, and took the hit. They knocked away more than half my HP but didn't freeze me. (I find they don't often freeze on turn one; if they do, you could always withdraw and try again.)

Second turn: Used mystery fruit bowl, and my ancient lupe wand to freeze them. Burrowed. They still got some damage through and my HP was (I think) at 9 at this point, heh.

Third turn: While they were frozen, I went all out with honey potion, mystery fruit bowl and berserk attack.

Fourth turn: Used lucky robot's foot (it's one use but not too expensive) to heal to full, and threw a sticky snowball while using sink. They froze me this turn, but it was too late -- they were already beaten.

Oh, I forgot about their freezer.
It's probably best to start over if they freeze you, since they're capable of doing a lot of damage.

what are you talking about? I was at level 65 with lvl 85 strength 133 HP and I had to have h4000, bzzt blaster, elephante unguent, and garoo elite blaster to defeat him! And I got lucky.

[everconfused]

they are impossible! I've lost 3 times, had 2 draws - that as close as I've come. Have h4k and hp, the one draw both of us were frozen. Interesting? Anyway that hefty loot bag is a killer!

I don't want to have to spend the np on water muffins, I just don't like 1 use items.

I do have an ultra dark reflectorb. Would that help? How can you use a bomb, weapon and freezer on one turn? You can only choose 2 equipped items, right? Gets confused easily.

[cipher_text]

sadly i can't even start the DON cause the pant devil keeps avoiding me..
anyway

the meerca henchmen only have 3 useful weapons (the rest is junk)

Hefty Loot Bag

5/5 dark/physical
4 physical

Meerca Brothers Glue

3/3 earth/physical

Meerca Brothers Water Pistol

5/5/5 wind/water/physical
can freeze

the last one looks devastating

you would be surprised at what that loot bag can do. I know my pet only has 124hp, but one hit of that thing and he was down to 9! The water pistol I can vouch for freezing. That was one of my draws - I used h4k, they used that pistol, we were both frozen for one turn ... so bizarre! Next turn both had 0 health, hence the draw>(

[cipher_text]

yeah just tryed battling them
they freezed on the first turn

two times..

[Matt]

Note that I'm not a battledome expert, but I picked up a bit

First turn, I'd defend and Freeze. If you have an ability you can use to help get some damage through, that'd help, but defend-freeze is a common tactic. Following that, you need two good bombs, then just hit 'em with both. If that doesn't kill them, just continue to use a defend-hit tactic.
