Can't beat Meerca Henchmen
|
I have tried to beat them and they always get me really quick. The last one I lasted 3 rounds and was out. Here is my pets stats.
Species : Buzz
Level : 8
Health : 236 / 236
Strength : AWESOME (64)
Defence : below average
Move : EXCELLENT (43)
Intelligence : ULTIMATE GENIUS (132)
Here is my equipment.
Scarab Stone Slingshot
Snowglobe Staff
Scarab Ring
Downsize!
Radioactive Muffin
Double Dryer
Exploding Snowball (2)
Abilities:
Night Vision
Magic Berries
Tough Skin
Water Jet
Quench
Temporal Leak
Magic Torch
Spark
Air Shield
Magic Pebbles
Fiery Gaze
Smoke Screen
Fiery Roar
Flash
Bless
Heal
Nighttime
Can anyone tell me how to beat them. I don't have lots of money to spend on getting new weapons and I go to the ray everyday to so my level changes a lot.

Try training your Neopet's level...

I am no expert on the BD, but with your defence, I think you'll have a very hard time with them, unfortunately. I don't remember how I beat them at this point (except that it took AGES) but I definitely had a full dark blocker weapon (Ring of the Lost), and probably a full physical blocker as well (Winged Scarab).
As far as I can imagine, you'd almost have to get your pet's level high enough to use the faerie abilites Burrow and Sink, which would hopefully block enough damage to keep your pet in the game more than a couple turns.
You might try a Leaf Shield, which would block some of their physical and water attacks....but your defense is so low, I don't know that any shields will help you much. You'd almost need a to use full blockers (that block ALL damage from one icon, instead of just a number of icons based on your defense). You can try a Downsize!, which blocks 50% of every icon once per battle. They're inexpensive.
And obviously, you'd try to freeze the Henchmen first turn and bomb them with your biggest weapons the second. But if that doesn't just about finish them up, if the Henchmen use their worst weapon (15 icons!), I imagine your pet will be hurting pretty badly, even with its high HP.
Good luck! Hopefully someone much more knowledgable than me will post soon.

Re: Can't beat Meerca Henchmen

I am no expert either. I haven't able to get a win over Meerca Henchmen yet. I've tried 5 times and all lose (even thought out of those 5 times, 2 times get very close to winning). How close you able to wipe their HP during battles, could you tell us?
As far as I could suggest there are 3 choices (in my opinion):
1, keep zapping and eventually you will get even better HP and a bit more strength stats
2, keep zapping and once your pet turned into some neopets that have cheap + good healers, you could always buy one of those healer and then get your level up to at least 20 to learn burrow. Then you will have much better chances
3, upgrade your set with even more powerful bombs, stronger shield, better main weapon (one main is enough), better freezer and a healer.
sorry don't know what to suggest otherwise
I know choice 3 is not what you would like to hear but it will still very helpful for your further mission....

Good luck, I'm still trying to beat the Henchmen too. My pet's defence is GREAT (31) and other stats are even better, but they still beat me every time.

Re: Can't beat Meerca Henchmen

For the record, I beat the Henchmen with an expensive set and a pet just slightly below its current stats of:
Health : 83 / 83
Strength : AMAZING (91)
Defence : AWESOME (60)
Move : GREAT (37)
My Defence might have been 15 points lower, but strength was most likely 91, and HP not much under 80. So if you're not at least in the ballpark of that, and don't have an semi-expensive set, I wouldn't think you have much of a chance.

Re: Can't beat Meerca Henchmen

I could not beat them earlier with Shienar, who's stats were slightly less than now:
Level : 6
Health : 240 / 230
Strength : AMAZING (91)
Defence : GREAT (26)
Move : mach 2
But, I did not have great weapons, Scarab Rings, Snowglobe Staff, Lead Shield and Ezploding Snowballs, if I remember right. I stopped to keep my bad BD score from getting worse. I'll eventuaaly force myself to get decent weapons and try again, eventually.

Re: Can't beat Meerca Henchmen

Thanks for the advice everyone. I upgraded my level to at least level 10 but the ray took that away again. I did get faeries to bless me first. I learned burrow. Right now it's a chomby. I'm going to start training level and defence and not use the ray for awhile and hope this helps. Then I'll invest in some good weapons. I'm cheap lol

I'm no battledomer but I'd say that you need to increase your HPs before you go up against them.

Re: Can't beat Meerca Henchmen

I beat them with 180 HP, a 55 strength boost, and a 25 defense boost boost.
equipment:
golden compass x 2, snowglobe staff, downsize!, greater healing scroll.
Abilities:
Beserk, burrow, species ability, and sink.
Strategy:
First round, freeze and use golden compass while defending. Next, 2 golden compass using berserk attack. Then, burrow and use 2 golden compass. Then sink and 2 golden compass. Then, downsize and greater healing scroll, then 2 golden compass with whatever ability suits your situation. Hopefully, they didn't freeze you and they spent one turn doing nothing. I managed to beat them after 20 tries so it takes perseverance. Good luck.

Re: Can't beat Meerca Henchmen

Prickly Potions and the abilities, Sink and Burrow is all you need. Throw in a thick smoke bomb (full blocker)/ lucky robots foot (full healer) if you like
