T10 - Set, Scrolls, Training - HELP!
Replies
Hello battlers!
I have no idea what I'm doing in the Battle Coliseum, but I like to be able to battle during plots and the occasional throwback challengers. Below are my current stats, weapons, and scrolls. I would love to know how I should focus my stats from here on out as well as what weapons/scrolls to keep, discard, replace as well as what I should aim on purchasing at this point. I know that I drastically need to increase my health, but I'm not sure what else I should be doing for stats. I have a Swashbuckle for T11. Is that worth holding on to?
Level: 693 Health: 1650 Strength: 1732 Defense: 1720 Speed: 1611 Intel: 1686

Thank you for any and all help!!
Welcome to upper level battling! Things can get quite expensive from here on out, but I'll try to stick to some of the affordable options.
First off, having weapons that heal each turn are essential in the upper tiers. Your Bluud Wand is a good example of this, but because it heals so much, it sacrifices some power. The Blackheart Blade and Mighty Kora Gauntlet don't heal at all, which puts you at a disadvantage. Usually I would recommend , but it has inflated quite a bit due to the plot (used to be ~45 million). We have a challenger reset coming up, which could mean more loot in circulation and the price coming back down. If you want to wait and see if that happens, I would definitely recommend picking one up later on.
Tier 10 is kind of short on nice, affordable weapons, but some suggestions other than the Unstable Sample Syringe would be: , , , . The Trusty Blades were recently rereleased for Throwback Thursday and I like them in particular because they grow with your pet. The Malignant Rift Staff is also a really good choice and scales up to Tier 11. A lot of people like that one. Opponents from here on out can be very diverse so it is a good thing to keep a variety of weapons in your armory. And definitely keep your Swashbuckle. I love that one and it defends against wind, which is very common in stronger challengers.
You'll want to replace your The One Ring with a at some point. The Reviver allows for a 90% heal, which will be much more effective as your pet continues to grow.
Scientist Specs is a good freezer, but if you save up enough battle tokens, I would recommend upgrading to , which you can make yourself from the components in the Battle Shop.
And I almost forgot: blasters. Go grab a and add it to your default set immediately :) It blasts one of your opponent's weapons into a one-icon weapon, which usually means less damage to you. are similar if you want an additional one in the future.
I prefer over Rapier of Error because it grows with your pet and it heals. I find it particularly useful for daily Battle Quests to make them go a bit faster. The water blocking is also handy because there aren't too many decent water blockers. That one is up to you.
Last but not least, you really don't need The Oracles Magic Potion. It doesn't really do much for you.
As for scrolls, Lava Arma Scroll, Fiery Death Scroll, Poisonous Barrage Scroll, Telson Scroll, and Shield of Shade Scroll are all scrolls you don't need anymore. They are almost all underpowered and you have much better options. You will want to replace your Divine Denizhen Scroll with a nicer infinite use scroll like , , or (the Aftershocks Scroll is also inflated right now, but might go back down after the challenger reset if you want to keep an eye on it).
For freezer scrolls, and are both cool choices. Either one would be a fun addition in your scroll library.
I would pick up some and make a few at some point. The Fatal Fire Scroll is useful because good fire and dark blocking can be expensive. The Sancturia Exodin Scroll is very similar to the Cobalt Eternal Scroll, except for the fact that they both block different combinations of icons.
If you made it through all of that, I hope it helped! Feel free to ping me if you need any clarification or have any additional questions :D
[edit]Oh yes, I almost forgot about stats, too. Health is almost always the clear winner. I discussed that a bit here. It is basically completely up to you. I realize that sounds vague, but stats are sort of based around your battling style. For example, I prefer to have a higher speed than some other people would recommend. But high health, followed by strength, is usually the priority for most people.
I would definitely hang onto the swashbuckle. Although I prefer the blessed trident over the swashbuckle, it is a very affordable wind blocker with a nice 10% heal. Adding to 's list, I would also recommend picking up once you hit T11. can be a nice affordable dark blocker once you hit 2,500 def. I wouldn't use the bluud wand, but keep that and win the . These combined with Baal, which is also won in battle, can be used to make a very nice god wapon. can also come in handy against opponents that deal fire damage or opponents like the forj that are only hurt by water.
As for stats, it's completely up to you how you would like to focus your build. People will argue that health is by far the most important stat and health will definitely become a lot more critical when you have a T12-T13 pet going against the hardest opponents on subeta. At this stage however, you will still want to increase your strength, def, and maybe speed if you see you are getting crit hit a lot. Training stats evenly is a lot cheaper, but concentrating on health also helps you fight tougher opponents earlier on.
As for scrolls, I would highly recommend picking up an infinite use scroll to add to your main set. Aftershocks is extremely overpriced right now, but I would pick up as it is cheap right now since it was re-released with this past event. Perilous whirlpools make great freezing scrolls if your pet doesn't have a lot of AP. I would also pick up and at some point to get much greater chances at freezing.
and - Thank you both so much for your thoughts! I have been working on getting a few of the weapons and scrolls you suggested. Back when I made it to tier 9, someone had suggested that I get a Terra Focujin Scroll. Would that still be useful at tier 10, or should I forget about that one?
