Battledome equipment

Some weapon examples.

Weapons are items on Neopets that 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 Club and Scarab Ring, when good items become very cheap for one reason or another.

Weapon Types

Different weapons are used certain ways in the battledome. There are # different kinds of weapon types.

Multiple Use

Multiple use weapons are weapons that can be used over and over in a battle. These are the most common types of weapons and can be almost anything.

Fragile

Fragile weapons can be used the same way as multiple use weapons, but with a risk. Fragile weapons have a chance of breaking each time they are used in the battledome. This often makes the weapon more expense, since the supply goes down as people use it.

Semi-Fragile

Semi-fragile weapons are exactly like fragile weapons, except they break only for the remainder of the battle. After the battle is over, the semi-fragile weapon returns to the Neopets equiptment page ready for another battle.

Once Per Battle

Once per battle weapons can only be used... once per battle. They are often 100% freezing weapons, bomb weapons, or a healing weapon.

Single Use

Single use weapons can be used once in the battledome and then disappear forever. These are most often bombs or elixirs from the Healing Springs.

Healing

Surprisingly, not all items that heal are considered healing items. A battledome rule is that only one healing item may be equipped. Most really effective healing items are considered a healing item. Some equiptment that is intended to be used mainly as a weapon also heals a bit, these weapons do not necessarily take up the "healing item" spot.

Weaponry Terms

Besides official weapon types, there are terms that battledomers often use to describe weapons.

Bomb

A bomb is a single use item that doesa large amount of damage. For most Neopians, these are snowballs. There are other bomb weapons too, such as muffins, Clockwork Grundos, the Honey Potion, and the Ghostkerbomb. Bombs are generally used after freezing an opponent to guarantee maximum damage.

Freezer

A freezer is an item that freezes an opponent. A freezing item is an important part of every serious battledomers set. Freezers guarantee a turn where the fight doesn't have to worry about defending and can focus on launching an all out, hopefully devastating attack. 100% freezers are highly prized and usually sell for millions of NP.
