− | + | You can duel your rats against the rats of other hobos. The purpose of dueling was to determine which hobo could create the ultimate rat setup, as well as gain a little monetary bonus. To duel your rat, it must have a minimum index of 5, a minimum level of 5, and have a lifespan of at least 2. It costs $15,000 and 30 rat energy to sign up for a duel. Once you have the money in hand, go to the "Sign up" link to enter your rat into the dueling world, and then use the "Manage arena" page to chose your dueling partner. Your rats cannot duel each other, only rats from another hobo. | |

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.
All of the locations can be found in the listing of rats located in the rat listing
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.
Stat | Description | Stat | Description |
---|---|---|---|
Age | How many days your rat has existed. | Lifespan | Lifespan is the number of days your rat has left to live. |
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. |
Energy | Energy is the equivalent to hobo awake (T). Energy is regenerated at a rate of 5 energy per 20 minutes. |
Agility | Agility is equivalent to hobo speed. | Strength | Strength is equivalent to hobo power (damage). |
Concentration | Concentration is equivalent to hobo strength (defense). | Vitality | Vitality is equivalent to hobo life. |
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

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))))
As shown in the formula, the only way to increase your index is to increase your rats stats or level.
Duels
You can duel your rats against the rats of other hobos. The purpose of dueling was to determine which hobo could create the ultimate rat setup, as well as gain a little monetary bonus. To duel your rat, it must have a minimum index of 5, a minimum level of 5, and have a lifespan of at least 2. It costs $15,000 and 30 rat energy to sign up for a duel. Once you have the money in hand, go to the "Sign up" link to enter your rat into the dueling world, and then use the "Manage arena" page to chose your dueling partner. Your rats cannot duel each other, only rats from another hobo.
Rat duels do not happen immediately after the pair is set. This is because hobos can wager bets on the duels. Any hobo can make a bet, but be warned that once you make a bet of any type, the bet cannot be unmade.
For winning a duel, you receive $40,000 + 2% of the total amount bet on your duel as well as a small amount of exp. You receive nothing for losing a duel. The formula for bets placed on duels is Payout = (Your Bet / Total of Winning Bets) * Total amount of all bets
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. If you have more then one rat, you can choose which rat will fight by choosing the Hobo Fights link on the toolbar and clicking the image of the rat you want fighting.
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.
Can I change the order of the rats in my cage? :
- No, you cannot.
