Bomb: Varia is the bomb
Prize in the 2023 Faerieland Lost Fragments event
One use per battle, 25 guaranteed icons, second best bomb in the game after the Ghostkerbomb which is 6mil. Replace any bomb with this if you have it (except G-Bomb), or use it additionally to the other bomb if you still want 2 bombs (not required)
Attacker/Multi-Use: Illusens Staff
2023 Faeries Festival Prize
This does a bunch of things, but if you’re in the first two categories of sets, you’re going to use this as a constant attacker. 13 guaranteed and up to 19 icons of damage, PLUS blocks 100% of dark and reflects 75% back as damage to the opponent. The calculation is actually way more complicated than this, but this is as much as you need to know. Also heals 20% of your HP.
Healer: Feel Better Soup
Y24 Advent Calendar Prize
Heals 50% HP. Blocks 100% of Air icon damage from your opponent. If you have under 50HP, still use the Lesser Healing scroll as below.
Now lets get into the actual sets, starting from the lowest budget.
40k to 100k NP Set
This is the cheapest viable 1p set you should have. With slight training you can attempt to defeat the easiest plot opponents with this.

Constant Attack: Ring of the Sway x2
35 NP each
Constant attackers doing 11 icons of damage each for 35NP. Really you can’t get better than this for basically free.
Bomb:
Varia is the Bomb if you already have it, 25 guaranteed icons, one use per battle. It’s a no brainer. If you don’t have Varia, a bomb is not really required or worth it at this price point, but if you must have one, get a Honey Potion which does 13-16 icons, one use per battle and 50-75k NP.
Defence: Downsize!
4-5k NP
One use per battle, blocks 50% of all damage your opponents does. Don’t use on the same turn as Lens Flare or Warlock’s rage.
Healer: Lesser Healing Scroll
Approx. 30k NP
Heals 25 HP. The next upgrade from this weapon, Oasis Tonic heals 35 HP and costs roughly 200k. So this is far more value for money.
ALERT! There’s currently a loophole here. There’s an item called
Bottled Holiday Cheer that somehow doesn’t abide by the one healer only rule, and currently can be used as a second healer. It heals 15HP and costs 50-100k. So your call if you think you need it, go for it. My suggestion, I don’t think you need it. This 'glitch' can be used in every tier if you want to.
1.5mil to 3mil NP Set
A very reasonably priced set, and hits pretty hard. If you're not going to be a BDer after the plot and don't want to make a huge investment, this set is a sweet spot.

Constant Attack: Roxtons Trusty Bowie Knife x2
600-700k NP each
Constant 15 icons of damage each. As a bonus it also blocks 75% of Earth icon damage your opponent might do, but that might not even be a factor. We just care about the pure damage this deals.
Bomb: Jhudora’s Potion
1.2m NP
Again, Varia is the Bomb if you have it way better than this, but if you don’t have it, J-Pot is cheaper. One use per battle and does a guaranteed 16 icons, and can do up to 24 icons. It can easily be avoided, but if you have the budget and want to roll the dice with higher end of that icon damage, you’re welcome to using it. If you do, use it first turn with one of the knives above and Lens Flare.
Defence: Downsize!
4-5k NP
One use per battle, blocks 50% of all damage your opponents does. Don’t use on the same turn as Lens Flare or Warlock’s rage.
Healer: Greater Healing Scroll
Approx. 200k NP
Heals 50HP. Doesn’t need more of an explanation. Parachuting First Aid Kit heals 33% of your total HP for upwards of 600k, but you will only feel the need for it if you’re above 250HP for it to make sense with that price tag. Under 250HP, stick to the GHS.
27mil to 40mil NP Set
I think this is the segment which a majority of the players on this forum will be interested in, and in all honesty this is the best value for money set you can buy, unless you already have or want to buy the billion neopoint items in the next tier. This is priced “reasonably” (by BD standards) and has a HUGE attacking output for 1p even if you have max strength boosts at 750 attack stat. The prices also stay pretty much under control because the anagram swords and G-Bomb are Hidden Tower items, and the other items have been prizes, so there’s plenty in existence.
Don’t overthink this set. People will give you a load of other options and icon types and value per icon and what not. Ignore them. This set is the gold standard of 1p Battledome sets. Tried, tested, and absolutely the go to set for most battlers. Just buy it and use it.

Constant Attackers: Sword of Skardsen x2
Approx 10m NP each
16 guaranteed and up to 24 icons of damage, each. This is the gold standard of constant attackers in this class. Honestly, it could be any of the anagram swords (Reif, Thigl, Tawre, Thare, Ari). They all do the same number of icons, just different types. I would go with whichever two anagram swords you manage to get cheapest – but that’s usually Skardsen. You could get good deals on Thare and Ari sometimes. Don’t over think this, just go with the two cheapest anagram swords you can find.
No matter what anyone else tells you, you don’t require the more expensive Fan of Swords (16-18mil). The attacking output isn’t that much greater for 50% more cost, and the Kelpbeard’s Trident (9ish mil) even though cheaper, isn’t usually THAT much cheaper. Just stick to the anagram swords. Trust me.
Bomb: Ghostkerbomb
Approx 6mil NP
20 guaranteed and up to 30 possible icons of damage. One use per battle. This is the Rolls Royce of bombs. At this price point you simply MUST have it, no two ways about it. You can only attach one unfortunately, but you can use it along with Varia is the Bomb.
Bomb: Varia is the Bomb
Approx 5mil NP
Guaranteed 25 icons of damage, one use per battle. If you don’t have it from the Faeries Festival prize shop, I’d consider buying it. You don’t NEED it, but it’s pretty sweet to use it along with the G-Bomb above. If you had to pick just one, prioritize the Ghostkerbomb. That’s the posterchild of bombs. But if you can afford it, get both and blast your enemies into oblivion.
If you want.. And this is
not required, and I don’t do it myself either, but some of us are fiends. So if you do
want to, you can also add Jhudora’s Potion (see above) and use 3 bombs. If I had to pick two, I’d do G-Bomb & Varia, or G-Bomb and J-Pot, in that order. Varia & J-Pot is my third preference.
Defence: Downsize!
4-5k NP
Yup we’re still using this bad boy. At 50% blocking of all icons there’s nothing that really competes with it even if you’re at this level. The only logical upgrade is Thyoras Tear at upwards of 200mil. So stick to Downsize! Don't fix what ain't broken.
Healer: Feel Better Soup
Approx 500k NP
Heals 50% of your total HP. As an added bonus, it also blocks 100% of air icons your opponent will do, but even without that this item is SOLID. Honestly this is the best healer in the game apart from the Leaded Elemental Vial which heals 100% of your HP, but sits at upwards of 250mil. If you don’t have this from the advent calendar, buy it. It’s worth its price. One of the most value for money BD items in the game in my eyes.
Freezer: Sleep Ray
1mil NP (sometimes buyable so check the shop wiz first)
100% guaranteed to freeze, plus 4 icons of damage. Not much else needs to be said here. If you have both Lens Flare and Warlock’s Rage you can avoid this if you don’t want to spend the 1mil. But if you have the NP sitting around, it’s worth having. If you only have Lens Flare, I’d definitely buy this.
REMEMBER: Abilities freeze in the round you use them, freezers freeze for the next round.
Multi Duty: Illusens Staff
10-15mil NP
13 guaranteed and up to 19 icons of damage, PLUS blocks 100% of dark and reflects 75% back as damage to the opponent. The calculation is actually way more complicated than this, but this is as much as you need to know. Also heals 20% of your HP. If you have it from the Faerie Festival use it, if you don’t have it, avoid it. If you want to buy it, it’s your call but It’s
not required.
The Billion NP Set
Honestly if you’re in this category, you don’t need me. And you probably have some or all of this stuff anyway. But for the sake of the guide and for my sadistic pleasure, let’s do this. An interesting note though, before the SAP’s were given out in the Advent Calendar, it’s place was held by the SuAP, and this set used to cost a lot more because of it. Now it can be gotten for around or even under (at times) 1 billion NP.
![](https://i.imgur.com/iSfCIJI.gif)
Attackers: Seasonal Attack Pea x2
140mil NP each
28 constant icons of attack each. I don’t need to say more. At this point you don’t even need bombs. Just spam your peas every round. This spot used to be held by the SuAP but after the Advent Calendar nuked the price of the Seasonal Attack Pea, the SuAP has become fairly obsolete. If you have it, you can use the SuAP, but at 1-2bil, don’t go out and buy it even if you can afford it, it only does 4 more icons of damage. Hard to believe, I know.
Healer: Leaded Elemental Vial
310mil on a good day
100% healing of your max HP. Nothing more to be said here really. The best healer in the game hands down.
Defence: Thyoras Tear
250-300mil NP
100% blocking of every thing. This is like Lens Flare and Warlock’s rage, but at this level you probably have both of them, and you still want the T-Tear for 3 rounds of no damage taken. Hey, I’m not judging! You do you.
Freezer: Thunder Sticks
320mil NP
100% freezer, plus does a guaranteed 16 icons of damage, AND blocks 100% of physical damage. Yeah, if you have the money, you definitely want this. This is the item that made the mighty Moehog Skull a relic of the past.
Multi-Dual Duty: Wand of the Dark Faerie
450-500mil NP
Kind of does the same thing as the I-Staff but harder. It does 20 guaranteed and up to 29 icons of damage, no additional blocking, and heals 25% HP. You don’t need it, but it’s fun to have. And if you have the money, you probably have this anyway. I-Staff is a cheaper alternative if you want a dual duty weapon. But you're a billionaire, you can do whatever you want really..
