Strength

The amount of damage that your pet can generate from an icon is directly dependent upon the pet's strength. As your pet's strength increases, so does the amount of damage (measured in hit points) that it is capable of dealing. The damage per icon increases at the junctures listed to the left.

These junctures are commonly known as "boosts." The amount of damage done per icon does not change until your pet reaches the next boost.

For example, the damage done by a pet with 125 strength is the same as that done by a pet with 199 strength. However, a pet with a strength of 200 will do more damage than a pet with a strength of 199.

Multiplying the number of icons of a weapon by the damage per icon statistic gives the base damage dealt.


x 125 strength = 18 points base damage 

x 200 strength = 27 points base damage

Defense

The same boosts apply for defense, and the equation works in the same manner. The amount of damage blocked by a defensive weapon is determined by the icons that weapon defends and the defense boost of the pet wielding it. The higher the boost, the more damage a weapon defends.

Multiplying the number of icons a weapon defends by the damage per icon statistic gives the base damage defended of that particular icon.

x 125 defense = 15 points base damage defended
