Strength & Defence Boosts

While the Neopets Battledome may appear to pure, fast paced action, it's actually just a big load of maths. Improbable, impossible - preposterous, I hear you say. But oh, it is. Damage and defense in the Battledome is calculated through the damage/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 you need to obtain them.

Of course, this list is only for those who want to know that the Battledome is sweet, sweet mathematics. For everybody else, let's just keep up the facade, hey?
