'''Battledome equipment''' is a class of [[item]]s that can be equipped to a [[Neopet]] and then used in the [[Battledome]].  Players can use up to two pieces of Battledome equipment per turn.  Each piece of equipment has a different effect.  Some equipment deals damage to opponents, while other equipment defends against incoming attacks.  There is equipment that freezes enemies in place, and there is equipment that can restore HP.  Some equipment even does multiple things at once.
|http://images.neopets.com/items/bd_ger_obsidiandagger.gif
 
Each Neopet can be equipped with up to eight pieces of Battledome equipment.  If a user has the ''Equip ALL THE THINGS'' [[Battleground of the Obelisk#Boons|boon]] activated, they can equip a ninth piece of equipment on each of their Neopets.  Users can equip their Neopets via the [http://www.neopets.com/dome/neopets.phtml Battledome Stats] page.  Individual items can also be equipped by clicking on them in the [[inventory]] and then selecting the ''Equip ...'' option from the resulting drop-down menu.
 
==Battledome Equipment Effects==
In general, using a piece of Battledome equipment will result in one of the below effects:
 
{| style="margin:0 auto; width:600px" class="wikitable"
|-
||'''Attack'''<br>
*The Battledome item deals a specific number and type of offensive [[icon]]s ([[Image:AirBDI.png]][[Image:DarknessBDI.png]][[Image:EarthBDI.png]][[Image:FireBDI.png]][[Image:LightBDI.png]][[Image:PhysicalBDI.png]][[Image:WaterBDI.png]]) to the opponent.  The amount of HP damage caused by each icon depends on the ''strength'' stat of the attacking Neopet.<br>
::'''Example:'''  The ''Sparkshooter'' deals {{icon|1|Fire}}, {{icon|1|Light}}, and {{icon|1|Physical}}
|-
||'''Defend'''<br>
*The Battledome item produces a specific number of defensive icons ([[Image:AirDefence.png]][[Image:DarknessDefence.png]][[Image:EarthDefence.png]][[Image:FireDefence.png]][[Image:LightDefence.png]][[Image:PhysicalDefence.png]][[Image:WaterDefence.png]]) that block incoming attacks.  Defensive icons can only block damage that matches their type.  For example, defensive air icons can block air attacks, but they cannot defend against water attacks. The about of HP damage blocked by each defensive icon depends on the ''defence'' stat of the defending Neopet.
::'''Example:'''  The ''Wooden Shield '' defends {{icon|2|Physical|Defence}}
|-
||'''Reflect'''<br>
*The item takes incoming attack icons and then reflects them back onto the attacker. The HP damage done by the reflected icons depends on the ''strength'' stat of the attacking Neopet.
::'''Example:'''  The ''Dual Battle Mirror'' reflects 50% of all [[Image:LightBDI.png]]
|-
|-
|http://images.neopets.com/items/bd_ring_scarab.gif
||'''Heal'''<br>
|http://images.neopets.com/items/nin_smoke_bomb.gif
*The Battledome item restores a Neopet's HP ([[Image:BE Stat Heal.gif]]). The amount of HP restored depends on the item used. With very few exceptions, Neopets are only allowed to equip a single healing item at a time.<br>
::'''Example:'''  The ''Blue [[Scorchstone]]'' heals 30 [[Image:BE Stat Heal.gif]] HP.
|-
|-
|http://images.neopets.com/items/bd_medhelm.gif
||'''Drain'''<br>
|http://images.neopets.com/items/bd_nq2_ramtor_book.gif
*The Battledome item drains health from the opponent. Since they are not associated with an icon type, draining attacks are unblockable. Some items additionally use the drained HP to heal the player.<br>
::'''Example:'''  The ''Cursed Elixir'' drains 20 [[Image:BE Stat Heal.gif]] HP from your opponent and adds it to your own HP.
|-
|-
|http://images.neopets.com/items/bd_ghostkerchief_shield.gif
||'''Freeze'''<br>
|http://images.neopets.com/items/arm_blue_robe.gif
*The weapon ''freezes'' the opponent for one turn.  When an opponent is frozen ([[Image:BE Stat Freeze.gif]]), they can not attack or defend themselves. With very few exceptions, Neopets are only allowed to equip one freezing item at a time.
::'''Example:'''  The ''Pearly [[Koi]] Bubble Net'' has a 10% chance of [[Image:BE Stat Freeze.gif]].
|-
||'''Steal'''<br>
*The weapon temporarily steals a piece of equipment from the opponent.  When a stealing item successfully steals an opponent's equipment, it is given to the opponent in place of their stolen gear. This allows the opponent to use the stealing item to take back their stolen equipment if they desire.  At the end of the battle, all stealing items and stolen pieces of equipment are returned to their original owners. Stolen items that were broken or consumed during the battle are returned to their original owner undamaged and unused.
::'''Example:'''  The ''Green [[Sticky Hand]]'' has a 60% chance of stealing an item.
|-
||'''Give'''<br>
*The Battledome equipment produces other pieces of Battledome equipment when used.
::'''Example:'''  The ''Evil Snowball Wand'' produces an ''Evil [[Snowball]]'' when used.

'''Battledome Equipment''' refers to a collection of [[item]]s used for the [[Battledome]]. Most of them can be equipped to a [[Neopet]] and used in battle. Generally, the better a weapon is, the more expensive.  There are rare cases however, like the Bone Sceptre and [[Scarab Ring]], when good items become very cheap because of a large supply or other reasons.


==Battledome Equipment types==
Many pieces of Battledome equipment have a combination of effects.  For example, the ''Tornado Ring'' can attack, defend, heal, and steal, all at the same time.
There are many different types of Battledome Equipment throughout Neopets, each coming from their own world a store.


===Battle Magic===
==Use Limitations==
Battle Magic is the regular kind of battledome equipment. It can range anything from rotten vegetable weapons to Cheat! battlecards. Battle Magic is sold at the Battle Magic shop in Neopia Central (Neopian Bazaar.)
Each Battledome item falls into one of the following five categories depending on how often it can be used in battle:


===Defence Magic===

|-
||'''Multiple Use'''<br>
*Multiple use equipment can be used an unlimited amount of times.
|-
||'''Once Per Battle'''<br>
*These items can only be used once per battle.
|-
||'''Single Use'''<br>
*These items can only be used a single time. They vanish forever after the first time they are used.
|-
||'''Semi-Fragile'''<br>
*Semi-fragile weapons have a small chance of breaking after each use. Once the item breaks, it can not be used until the next battle.
|-
||'''Fragile'''<br>
*Fragile weapons have a small chance of breaking after each use.  Once the item breaks, it vanishes forever.

There is a battledome rule where only one freezing item can be equipped to a pet.
||Wondrous Weaponry is based on tools used in Asian martial arts.  It includes Japanese, Korean, and Chinese design motifs.
 
|-
'''Stealer'''
|}
 
A stealer is an item that will take the weapon in the opponent's first slot. For this reason, many 2-Player battlers place their least important weapon in their first slot, and 1-Player opponents usually have junk items in their first slot. Some items, such as Tornado Ring, may multi-steal, or steal multiple items in one battle, although these are typically very expensive. If the item stole from the first slot is once per battle/one use, and the opponent has already used it up, they will still get it back. The battledome rule indicates that only one stealer can be equipped per battle.
 
'''Dual Duty'''
 
A dual duty is an item that both attacks and defends. Dual duties are usually used in lower stat [[Battledome]] fights or by tanks. A few examples of dual duties would include: [[Scarab Ring]], Portable Cloud, Dusty Magic Broom, Air Faerie Crown, and Mask of Coltzan.
 
'''Lab Rat'''
 
A lab rat is a pet with very high Hit Points, Movement, and Strength, and a very low Level and Defence. The [[Lab Ray]] typically raises Strength, Movement, and Hit Points and lowers Level and Defence, hence the name. These pets are usually given less respect than hand-trained pets because of the low cost and effort involved in making a lab rat.
 
'''League'''
 
Leagues are defined the the [http://www.neopianwarcouncil.net/ Neopian War Council] League Calculator. Leagues range from League 1 to League 24. The term may be written as "L20" or "League 20" (for a League 20 pet). Leagues are usually the best way to evenly match up pets in 2-Player battles.
