Battledome Strategy 101
Written by Jadeasahi
Lesson 6: Grenades
Grenades is a term that I use for any once per battle weapon. These weaons are
just what they say, items that may only used once per battle. Some of these
items when used will vanish forever. Weapons in this family include Snowballs,
Snowflakes, Exploding Pizza Pasty, and Clockwork Grundos to name but a few.
Another class of these items are persistent, that is they may only be used once
per battle, but you get them back when the battle is over. Weapons in this
family include Mud Mixture, Illusens Earth Potion, Honey Potion, and Battle
Potato to name only a few.
Grenades commonly carry higher damage output than their equivalently priced
multi-use counterparts, hence their popularity. The drawback to this high
damage, other than the once per battle restriction, also tends to be the
restriction of these types of weapons to only one per pet and the attacks are
generally composed of only one or two types of easy to block icons.
What all of this essentially means is that grenades, in the absence of higher
damage output multi-use weapons, are extremely popular, and reasonably so, for
use in attacks that will be unblocked; in fact they are usually not effective at
all if used in any other situation. This does not mean they can't be, and that
there aren't exceptions to the rule.
