Your Pet in the Battledome
Your pet is arguably the most important part of the BD. From training your pet to become stronger to blessing your pet with the power of the faeries, your pet has a big impact on it's fight in the battledome. A better pet will be able to deal more damage, defend themselves from more damage, and withstand more damage to dominate their opponent. Your quick ref page shows everything about your pets. Here's an example of what you'll see:
Name
Species : Ixi
Colour : Snot
Gender : Male
Age : 458 days
Level : 10
Health : 17 / 26
Mood : content
Hunger : very full
Strength : GREAT (27)
Defence : armoured
Move : mach 1
Intelligence : average
These are often referred to as your pet's stats. The stronger your pet is, the more damage it can do; the more defence it has, the better it can defend itself from attacks; when your health reaches 0, you lose the fight. To make these stats better, you have to train your pet.
At the bottom there is a link to you pet's abilities. Each round of a BD fight, you must choose one of your pet's abilities to use. Your pet has some default abilities that don't appear here, but you can use them in the BD. The best abilities are called faerie abilities because you have to bless your pet with a bottled faerie to get them. These are the abilities that show up here. From your selection of faerie abilities, you can choose only 7 of them to be active at one time.
Before you go into a fight, make sure your pet is at full hit points (health). You can go to the healing springs every half hour for a free chance at healing your pet or you can use different healing potions to heal your pet. Your pet must also be fed (not hungry) in order to fight. You can get free food every day at the giant omelette and the giant jelly. Your pet must also be healthy (not sick). If your pet is sick, the healing springs is your best option to get your pet healed, but it might take a few tries.
