Strength and Defense Boosts

While the Neopets Battledome may appear to be pure, fast paced action, it's actually just a big load of math. Damage and defense in the Battledome is calculated through the damage and defense icons of an item which either inflicts or prevents damage. This number of icons is then multiplied by the strength or defense multiplier, or boost. Essentially, how much damage is inflicted is calculated by multiplying the item's number of icons with your boost, or damage per icon. Below is a list of boosts, and how much strength or defense you need to obtain them.

Strength/Defence	Boost

13	1
20	1.25
