She's 259 points away from tier 10 and if I work at it, I don't think it should take too long to reach since I can autotrain now. So I think it might be time to buy a new weapon or two...or if I can afford it, a whole new set of things.

This is her current set: Deluxe Death Shard Item Hunters Bomb Mourning Malice The One Ring Sentinel (Which I just bought today and I'm kind of in love with it lol) Forj Tempered Shield Phoenix Quill

I also have a Malignant Rift Staff that is tier 9, but I don't know if that's any good or not?

I'm thinking the Mourning, Malice, and Sentinel stay, and the Deluxe Death Shard...and probably the Phoenix Quill as it heals 100%, even though it's tier 1. I'm not sure about anything else. I know I'm an older user, but I haven't really battled a whole lot. I'm kind of just getting back into it.

What would you recommend I get? Should I get rid of anything/replace with something better? Advice, please!

-Malignant Rift Staff scales with your pet until T11, so it is good to have around :)

-The Phoenix Quill being T1 is kind of a misnomer. I think it's T1 so any pet can use it, but it's actually a wonderful weapon you can use in your set forever. Definitely keep it.

-I don't recommend autotraining your pet if it's past T6/level 350. At that point it is cheaper to spend your money on boosters instead.

-This part is subjective so you are free to not heed my advice if you don't agree with it: I would personally get rid of the Mourning, Malice, and Sentinel. Frankly, they are just not that good and there are better options at T10.

So, here's how I would build a set for T10 with the weapons you already have and some new ones added:

You may eventually want to switch out your Deluxe Death Shard with Intricate Energized Helmet (built with components from the Battle Shop), The One Ring with Reviver of the Lion, and Blackmoon Hand Blaster with Soma Tablets. Although the latter two are expensive, you can essentially use them in your set forever so they are worth the price tag.

If you want to look at more weapon options, try The Weapon Guide or SubetaLodge`s weapon list.

Hmm, I'll look into those items. The Recycle Blaster and Blackmoon Hand Blaster are only tiers 5 and 2 and so cheap though, are you sure they're worth it? The Panzer Hydra Blade too, for that matter.

I'm not sure how the blade stacks up, but the blasters are a kind of 'utility' item so tier isn't important. Stealing can be risky since it can give you weapons that may kill your pet or be disabled, but (I think) blasting is always enabled. It also gives you the chance that your opponent will use the garbage 2-4 icon weapon against you instead of doing real damage that turn.

The reason you would want to upgrade the Blackmoon Hand Blaster to the Soma Tablets is because in addition to replacing one of your challenger's weapons with an infinite use 2 icon Empty Pillbox, it can give a random blessing, random curse, and has a small chance to steal and freeze.

Edit: The Panzer Hydra Blade seems to be a scaling weapon from T7-T11.

I picked Panzer Hydra Blade because it has really good stats for its price. Low prices don't always mean bad weapons, there are cheap gems out there if you know where to look.

But you could replace the Panzer Hydra Blade with anything, like Unstable Sample Syringe, Ornamented Hook Swords, Malerias Cursed Arm Bangle, Sierrac Basal Ice Flail, Bludgeon of Mass Extinction, Trusty Blades, Cursed Liquid Fire Torch, Plague Claw, Prodigys Eyeball, etc. I just recommend the cheapest good weapons I can find because most people don't have the budget to go for the best weapons in their tier immediately.

Ideally, you want to eventually strive for a set that looks like this: Can you see why I suggested the cheaper items first? A perfect set is very expensive and time consuming and I don't want to dishearten anyone.

explained the part about why most people use blasters in their set well.

Thank you both for the help! I'm going to look into the suggested items. Lower-priced things are always nice. Those 'ultimate' items are a liiiiiiiiiittle above what I want to spend, lol.

For the Unstable Sample Syringe, I just saw it in the shops for 44,999,995 and jumped all over that... forgetting that I already have one. I just put it into my shop for 44,900,000 so if you want it it's now available for a very good price. You'll be able to earn one yourself in a while, but it won't be for a couple of tiers (I'm high T11 and won't stand a chance against the opponent). I'm also willing to haggle a little because, dang, I shouldn't have been tempted by that price and jumped on it like I did. :D

For the really expensive stuff, eventually to be able to beat the really tough opponents you're going to have to save up for them. Going into T10, the Ornamented Hook Swords are a good start for MC weapons, and then The Ether and Natasha when you get to T11.

Free. I like free, lol. I'm going to shoot for getting those, then. And eventually I think I'll go for the Ether and Natasha too. Eventually. :P Thanks again for your help and for selling me the syringe for so cheap. YOU'RE AWESOME.

I'm glad I was able to be of help. Enjoy kicking butt in battle. :)

Just going to throw a few more cheap weapon options out there for you to decide on:

- blocks 15-20 physical, sometimes blocks earth instead, and has a % heal - also 100% freezer. It's cheap to use until you can make the helmet, but could also be used instead of the helmet against certain opponents. - a little more expensive than the other options, but gives you a 10% heal and a small block for all icons. - Scaling weapon that blocks ice and water. It also has a chance to freeze. The higher your speed, the more it blocks and the higher the chance to freeze. - blocks a small amount of water and fire with a small heal - heals and blocks light
