| Rats |
|
Rats are a hobo's best friend. They are also the only animals you can find, capture, own, and raise in HoboWars.
One of the biggest perks about owning a rat is that it can directly damage your opponent during a fight.
Contents
Mechanics
Rats must be found and captured before they can be raised to become a formidable sidekick in hobo battles or a powerful combatant in rat fights.
Obtainment
* Only donators can purchase this rat cage. |
Rats can be found all across HoboWorld. However, before you can run around catching rats you must first purchase a Rat Cage to put them all in. Fortunately, the Pet Shop in the City sells rat cages, from one-slot cages that can only hold one rat to three-slot cages that hold up to three! You can only own one type of rat cage at a time; when you purchase a different one, the one you currently have gets thrown out with no refund and replaced by the new cage. So, no, you can't have five three-slot cages or one three-slot cage, one two-slot cage, and one one-slot cage. Therefore, it is highly recommended to buy a two-slot cage if you a non-donator or a three-slot cage if you are a donator. (If you lose your donator status, you still get to keep and use the three-slot cage; it does not disappear or get downgraded to a two-slot cage.)
Once you have purchased your rat cage, you can now go out and start catching rats! As previously mentioned, rats can be found all over the place;
If you have a rat cage with an empty slot, you will automatically attempt to catch the rat when you find one. You can release any captured rat you don't want by going to the rat page and selecting Abandon.
With the new side wars/exploring update to HoboWars and Facebook HoboWars, you can no longer catch rats in the city on their versions. Instead, head on over to the Pet Shop and spin the Rat Roulette Wheel. You get 3 turns a day and can catch any rat formerly found in the city.
Rat Stats
Rats are just like hobos in that they have stats that determine their worth. Their stats can be trained and upgraded, and they have skills that increased to give additional benefits.
Lifespan
Lifespan is the number of days your rat has left to live. You can extend your hobo's lifespan by purchasing upgrades or increasing your rat's Vegetarianism skill.
Hunger
Hunger is the how much energy your rat can ingest from food in a day. A rat's hunger is reset during the AM reset. You rat can obtain energy by eating most hobo foods in the game. The max hunger can be increased by purchasing upgrades or increasing your rat's Buddhism skill.
Energy
Energy is the equivalent to hobo awake (T). Energy is used in all rat activities. It takes 30 energy/hour for a rat to train, takes 10 energy for rats to fight one another, and 30 energy for a rat to duel. Energy is regenerated at a rate of 5 energy per 20 minutes.
Agility
Agility is equivalent to hobo speed. Agility can be gained through training and by purchasing upgrades. Agility can be enhanced through the speed mastery, but the skill only helps with rat fights and duels.
Strength
Strength is equivalent to hobo power (damage). Strength can be gained through training and upgrade purchases. Strength can be enhanced through the damage mastery, but the skill only works in rat fights and duels.
Concentration
Concentration is equivalent to hobo strength (defense). Concentration is obtained through training and upgrades. Concentration is further upgraded by the defense mastery, though the skill only works in rat fights and duels.
Vitality
Vitality is equivalent to hobo life. A rat's life total only matters in rat fights and duels, and can be increased through training and upgrade purchases.
Training
You can train your rat's stats. Rat's can gain 0.4 agility/strength/concentration or 2 vitality per train. It costs 30 energy per training session and rats gain their stats on the hour. Rats cannot train their lifespan, hunger, or energy stats.
Upgrading
Upgrading your rats' stats will cost you a bit of money. You can purchase up to 10 upgrades for each rat stat. The costs for each upgrade are as follows:
| Level | Lifespan (HW1/HW2) |
All Others* (HW1/HW2) |
Lifespan (FBHW) |
All Others* (FBHW) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | $15,000 | $10,000 | $3,000 | $2,000 |
| 2 | $25,000 | $15,000 | $5,000 | $3,000 |
| 3 | $35,000 | $20,000 | $7,000 | $4,000 |
| 4 | $45,000 | $25,000 | $9,000 | $5,000 |
| 5 | $55,000 | $30,000 | $11,000 | $6,000 |
| 6 | $65,000 | $35,000 | $13,000 | $7,000 |
| 7 | $75,000 | $40,000 | $15,000 | $8,000 |
| 8 | $85,000 | $45,000 | $17,000 | $9,000 |
| 9 | $95,000 | $50,000 | $19,000 | $10,000 |
| 10 | $105,000 | $55,000 | $21,000 | $11,000 |
| Total | $600,000 | $325,000 (Per stat) |
$120,000 | $65,000 (Per stat) |
*All Others include Hunger, Energy, Vitality, Agility, Strength, Concentration
Leveling
You can have your rats fight to gain experience. Rats gain 3 experience for fighting another 1 index lower than they are, 4 experience for fighting another the same index as they are, and 5 experience for fighting another rat 1 index higher than them. For every attack on the same rat, you will gain one less exp.
Every level your rat gains you get 3 free stat upgrades and 1 free skill level. As you gain levels, you can update your rats skill levels. With each level, you gain one upgrade.
| Skill | Description |
|---|---|
| Training Mastery | +0.01 gains per train |
| Speed Mastery | +2% Agility in rat fights by +2% per level. +1.5% chance per level to sprint in all rat fights |
| Damage Mastery | +2% Strength in rat fights by per level. +1% chance per level to overpower your opponent (critical hit) |
| Defense Mastery | +2% Concentration in rat fights per level. +1% chance to dodge on their next defense. |
| Buddhism | +5 to max hunger per level. |
| Vegetarianism | +2 to lifespan per level. |
Index
The index of your rat determines what other rats you can fight and reflects somewhat on the amount of stats your rats have. Index generally follows the formula:
- Index = 1 + (Int(0.02((Level*4)+ Agi + Conc + Str + (Vit/5))))
General FAQ
How do I keep rats I find?:
- In order to own a rat, you must buy a rat cage from the Pet Shop. If you have an open slot in your cage, you will automatically obtain the rat.
What is the best type of rat? :
Is there a limit to the number of rounds a rat fight can go? :
- The limit is 999 moves, after that it simply says "**** and **** made draw."
There is a rat on the "Rat Fights" page with the "[Fight]" link crossed out, what does this mean? :
- You can only attack one rat 3 times per day. You must wait until the next day to attack it again.
Can I fight or duel my own rats against each other?:
- No, you cannot.
How do I raise my rats index? :
- The index of your rat is dependent on all of your rat’s stats except for lifespan. Level, Vitality, Agility, Concentration, and Strength are all added up to form an index for your rat. So you can raise your rat’s index by training your stats.
How do I purchase upgrades for my rat? :
- For purchasing upgrades, all of the money must be withdrawn from your piggy bank and be on hand. Then go to the Rats page and select the rat you wish to upgrade. The price of the upgrade is listed in the "Cost" column for your rat.
- If you still have more levels of upgrades available for purchasing, and you have enough money for that upgrade on hand, simply press the "[+]" button in the far right column to apply an upgrade to that particular stat.
- There is no confirmation screen; once you press the button you have purchased the upgrade.
- There are 10 levels of upgrades for each stat category. Upgrading strength, agility, and concentration adds 4 for each upgrade purchased. Upgrading vitality adds 20 to your rats vitality per level. Upgrading lifespan adds 2 days per upgrade. Upgrading energy adds 10 maximum energy per level.
My rat has negative lifespan. How did this happen? :
- Your rat will be listed with negative lifespan if you have applied any one of the bonus skill points you received from leveling towards Vegetarianism.
- Your rats lifespan will still be listed as a positive number on the page you see of your rats stats, however, it may show as negative on the "Rat Fights" page once you are into the days that Vegetarianism give you.
What is the purpose of the Cemetery? :
- You can reserve a spot for your rat in the cemetery. This will save some of your rats information for you or others to look up after it dies, including your rats name, your name, its age, level, and index, as well as the time that it died.
- If you pay for a spot then abandon your rat, you will forfeit your cemetery space.
If I have a 1 slot cage and purchase a 2 or 3 slot cage, will my rat be lost?:
- No, your rat will still be there, you'll just receive extra slots.
Duels
How do I sign up for a duel?:
- Your rat must be at least level 5 and index 5 before dueling. Your rat must also have a lifespan of at least 2 in order to be listed on the Manage Arena page. Rats with 1, 0, or negative amounts of lifespan may not be able to duel.
- Take $15,000 out of your piggy bank, go to the Rats page, select your rat that you would like to duel, then click on "Sign up". Confirm that you would like to sign up then proceed to the "Manage arena" page. Here you can select your rats that are signed up for a duel and pick a random opponent.
- You must pay $15,000 every time you wish to duel your rat.
Can I pick which rat I want to duel? :
- You cannot choose a specific rat, only those that are signed up for duels. Rats that are signed up in your index will be shown as "Random opponent". If there is more than one, simply pick one.
What do I get from winning/losing a duel? :
- For winning a duel, you receive $40,000 + 2% of the total amount bet on your duel.
- You receive nothing for losing a duel.
What is the formula for bets placed on duels? :
- Payout = (Your Bet / Total of Winning Bets) * Total amount of all bets
Can I change or remove my bet once I make it? :
- No, once you make it, it cannot be changed.
Rats in Hobo Fights
Rats can be very helpful in your quest to conquer other hobos in your fights. Rat attacks happen every 5 rounds in fights. The rat that does attacks that round in the fight is based on the rats agility stat.
Battle Grounds for rats
Rats are tied into most hobo fights but not all. The different areas that rats help in hobo fights are:
- One-on-one hobo fights
- Ultimate Fisty Cuffs
- Gang's Junior War Chamber
- City Explore Territory Claims
- Adventure Fights
- A number of special fights during the adventures allow rats to do damage, though some don't.
General Questions
What determines how much damage my rat does in a hobo battle?:
- Generally speaking, the higher your hobo's level, the more damage your rat will do if it gets the hits in hobo fights. Damage is also influenced by the Strength and index of the attacking rat and the Concentration of the defending rat.
- Your rat's Vitality is not a factor on how much damage is done in hobo battles.
If I have more than one rat, which one fights in hobo fights?:
- You can choose which rat will fight for you by clicking the 'Hobo Fights' link and then clicking the picture of the rat you want to use. If you do not do this, the highest leveled rat will fight with you in a hobo fight. If you have 2 rats with the same level, then the rat listed in the topmost slot is used for the fight.
Can I change the order of the rats in my cage? :
- No, you cannot.
