Good evening, everyone ^^ I hope everyone is having a wonderful day :D.

So here I am again with my pet now Tier 5, and I have realized that I am severely lacking in scroll strength. I just purchased the Aftershock scroll, which made things better, but I want more x3. I have 30 AP at the moment, so if anyone has any recommendations, that would be much appreciated :D.

That's a very nice investment you've made :) For now I'd recommend a basic defensive scroll, Cobalt Eternal from the MC and a Perilous Whirlpool, which can be made at the Shrine (and that will make it cheaper than buying directly from user shop). That should fill your leftover AP until you gain more of that. I'd say as you go up in AP and battle more, you'll have a feel of what type of scrolls you need more for your set. For me, when I was around your tier I kept adding perilous whirlpool or cheap chunk blocking scrolls to my set depending on my opponents. Until now I've got only one Cobalt Eternal and I still somehow managed with one at lower tiers. For chunk blocking scrolls, here are a few of them (which, again, can be made for very cheap at the Shrine): - fire block + low to medium freeze chance Good against fire-based opponents or those you can freeze. At Tier 8-9 it's good for Cursed Effigy the Tormented as well since it blocks his fire icons and deals water which he doesn't block (though he can't be frozen so its freezing won't be of much use there).

- Earth block Good against earth-based opponents such as Recycle Beast or Terrafirma in BQs.

- Wind block Good against wind-based opponents such as Scary Singer (BQ and likely to make a comeback during Luminaire).

- Ice block Good against ice-based opponents such as Unstable Snow Fairy and Ice King.

Some of these opponents are at higher tiers but as you add more of these scrolls to your set they can be helpful as emergency or complementary blocks when you reach that tier and are still saving up for better weapons.

Thank you very much ^^ this was very helpful to me. To be honest I didn't really understand defensive scrolls all that much. I just recently got to the point where Mechalag is no problem, but I am stuck at Felibot. I can almost beat Fish Breath, but that was me primarily focusing on attacking, and damage dealt, and not damage received. I never really studied the type of icons that they dealt, and just the amount, so maybe I need to start paying attention to the actual icons themselves.

Here is the weapon set I am working with right now. and

When you're paying more attention to the opponents' icons, you're heading in the right direction :). While it's true that icons don't really matter that much when you fight an easier opponent, harder challengers require a bit of tailoring to their big icons so you can survive first and foremost in order to deal damage.

Your set looks good. If you want to take a look at some common opponents' resources, you can refer to MrCool's guide. The link I posted is for Felibot himself, but you can find most other BQ opponents there and most Cash Shop opponents too if you ever buy and fight those challengers.

Although the guide says Felibot is more suitable for pets at T6, pets at high T5 can get a win with some effort. If you look at the list of his weapons, you'll see that he deals more earth, physical, fire and light than other weapons. Minotaur Knocker and Aftershocks protect you against earth and some physical, but you're not protected against fire and light. You might want some sort of protection for these icons until he uses up all three of his Flying Feli Bombs before you blast. Some suggestions would be the Forj Tempered Shield which can be made for cheap by buying ingredients and combining them at the Asmodeus lab. Another shield to consider is the which blocks fire, earth, ice and magma, three of which Feli deals. The shield itself has 2 mod slots so you can slot fire defence or light defence tear crystals for some more protection. It's best if you're at T6 and have the Reborn Icewand of Doom (by combining the Reborn wand of doom and the freezewand of doom) since it has a chance to freeze, so if you haven't got it yet, it's good to pick the reborn wand of doom now before the stock rolls over to autumn to combine with the freezewand when the winter stock takes over.

Solid advice, thank you ^^ I actually already have the Reborn Icewand of Doom, it was one of the things I had been investing in for a while, I heard it was a big player, so I put time into getting it. I will look into both the Shield, and Tassets, cause that seems like a worth while endeavor.

I have always been a bit confused about what would work best in terms of Modifications, cause most of my mods deal with dishing out damage, and I don't really know what defense mods should go where. I am new to modifying weapons xD.

Yes, battling does have many aspects to it and it can be very confusing when one starts out :). I'm going to write a long intro to mods, so please bear with me (and the wall of text 😅).

At lower tiers, pets grow fast if they do BQs and use the training centre regularly, so I'd say you should opt for cheap modification crystals (or mods for short) since you will outgrow and get rid of those weapons very soon. The only ones worth slotting more expensive mods are those you will use for at least 3 tiers. Reviver, Soma and Recycle Blaster are among these. Full blockers are tricky, since at Tiers 11 plus you will see yourself use less of them.

Currently two of the best mods are: Reason: Parched baguette (or parched for short) grants a freeze protection blessing that lasts 5 rounds. Singed baguette (or singed) adds 8% chance each for a curse that deals 8 icons for 5 rounds (for a total of 40 icons). Curse damage cannot be blocked, which means all of your damage will get through to your opponents. Besides, they both add icons to your weapons (4 for parched and 5 for singed). If you've got a weapon with 4 mod slots, for example, you have the potential to add 16 to 20 icons more to it if you slot it with nothing but parched and/or singed.

The lesser versions are the parched tear and singed tear crystals. They add significantly fewer icons and less % chance for their perks.

Singed are generally good for opponents that cannot be frozen, while parched are especially good against those that freeze you. For a weapon with 2 mod slots or more (you will have access to more of these as you advance in tiers) that you use frequently and for several tiers, you can plan your mod distribution so that you will have versatility and further modification would not be costly. For example, for my 4-mod-slot weapons, I tend to slot 2 parched and one singed. The singed are significantly cheaper, so that leaves me with 2 slots that I can modify when needed, without having to touch the two parched mods. Different battlers have different mod preference. Some will mod all of their weapons with parched, some a mix of parched and singed, and some with further mix of mod crystals. This I will leave up to you to tailor to your own battling experience, since it is a unique one after all.

The other equivalent to parched is (or Bona). Like parched, Bona grants 10% chance of activating an anti-freeze blessing. The difference is its anti-freeze blessing lasts for only 3 rounds; but the upside is it also grants an anti-steal blessing and 2 icon defence for every type of icons (for a total of 18 icons). At lower tiers, Bonas make a great alternative to Parched since it is cheaper and can be bought from the Battle Shop for only 3 medium tokens. It's good against both freeze and steal-happy opponents, and the added defence is quite nice in helping block out some stray icons from your opponents.

Another mod option to consider is the also from the battle shop for 3 medium tokens. It adds 5% for a crit hit from you, doubling your damage. It works separately from natural crit hits (currently you have 10% chance of landing a crit hit on your opponents if your speed is lower than theirs). If the crit hit from crit mod activates at the same time as your natural crit, you'll have the chance for a quadruple damage (or double crit). I personally love crit mods for boss battles and think it starts to be worth it when you've got significant strength (1,000+). Otherwise, you'd be better with Bonas and maybe some defence/ offence mods.

Other than these, other mods are not really worth it at higher tiers. At lower tiers, they can be helpful against certain opponents (mostly those who do not freeze or steal). For opponents that are stronger than my pet is, I tend to go for defence mod crystals to add more defence to my weapons, or to patch up the hole in my defence. So for example, Felibot doesn't freeze, so I will pick either light defence crystals or fire defence crystals for my weapons for him, until I grow in strength where I don't have to rely on those anymore. If you tend to use the same set for several opponents, it's always more worth it to stick to more expensive mods and wait for more stats to tackle more difficult opponents than to replace mods every time you beat a new one. Although defence and offence mods are cheap in general, the ost can add up over time if you replace them regularly.

Sorry for the chunk of text 😅. I'm not the best at explaining things so if there's something confusing, feel free to poke me again with your questions.

Thank you for taking the time with all of that ^^ I have been looking into the parched, and Singed. I have the singed on my weapons, but I only have weapons with 2 slots, but when I get ones with 4, then I will add 2 of each xD.

You're welcome. I hope that can be of some help to you. It's wise to plan your next big battle purchase from now since you have got both Reviver and Soma out of the way. I'd recommend Blessed Trident next when you're at T8, but please do price check in the PC forum before you purchase one since their prices might not be the best at times, and I don't want new and growing battlers having to pay significantly more for something they can get for a decent price. FYI, the cost for the most expensive bobbleheads needed to complete the 2010 collection, from which you'll get your own Trident, is currently fixed at 2,800 CSC. The cheaper bobbleheads you can buy in advance since they're not worth that much. The expensive bobbleheads can return in the future. If you buy a Trident outside of the bobbleheads sale, make sure you don't have to pay a lot more than the equivalent of sP for 2,800 CSC. I managed until T11 without the Trident so without it you can still advance and enjoy battling until then. Please don't ever let yourself or anyone pressure you into buying one at a high price.

I really do appreciate all the support, and help. It means a lot to me, I may come back to you down the road when I get higher in the Tiers, and I will keep the Trident in mind :3. It will definitely be awhile before I have that kind of sP, but I am a patient man, and don't mind grinding haha.
