The name Alcyone is pronounced "all-sigh-on" and is a star.
Hi I'm Dave and proudly Canadian.
There's a 99% chance I'm much older than you but I am young at heart and have a youthful spirit.
It also means I reserve the right to be contentious and cranky lol.
I've played Mara off and on for many years and am always happy to help
if you have questions or need help with Goals or Missions.
My pets are happy to visit other players for a very short time to pass Goals.
None of my pets can help anyone with Knutt Knight Quests or Sumo Sally
They would love to help but aren't nearly strong enough
and they also need to pay me back for training by earning Olympic Points.
Melitza is my first pet and my main collections and battle pet.
Netflix can beat a few easy opponents but he is busy being trained at the gym, going to school, working,
and paying me back what he can in the Olympics. He can help you if it's just a few quick battles.
This means NOT for battling the Knutt Knight for Goals.
My pet Dave is available to help with any Goals requiring an Olympic pet. He also has a lot of aged minis for avvies.
He is Ultimate level but having said that he's still on the cheaper side of many trained pets.
If you borrow him he can give LOTS of aged minipet avvies.
Most of my pets are works in progress as I tend to focus on pet training rather than costumes,
and they've been changing lots to make me dna minis for the temple.
It's also possible I am indecisive and have comittment issues haha.
Someday they will look fabulous.
That's what I keep telling them anyways ;)
I am a friendly and fair player so always feel free to message or mail any game related questions,
but please keep in mind most of the time I'm here mindlessly clicking around watching Netflix or TV
or maybe just here to do a few dailies then get back to life.
I'm generally not a chatty person so please don't take offence if I don't carry on conversations unless I really know you.
NO, I really didn't hack my fitbit to play mara and watch GOT.
It's hard enough playing on our phones eh?

If you're new to battling and want to learn how to battle Talon, or other opponents for Events or Goals here are some basic tips to get started. This is just meant to cover the basic strategies to get started. For Mara's best Battle Guide with all the best weapons, opponent stats, and other info about Olympics, Boosters and all things battle related please see Gennie's Battle Guide here:
The short answer to what you need to win a battle is a pet that has begun training it's stats and is equipped with two Leaf Swords as weapons, or any similarly strong weapons within an affordable price range. You can also add two Kirin Horn Wands to be used later when you battle tough opponents and need to heal your pet. Of course there are a few different weapons and healing items to pick and choose from but these are good enough to start and are affordable to begin with until you need more.
To beat Talon your pet must have 11 health points and a point each for speed and strength. Talon will attack with ten damage points at the beginning but his damage gradually increases the more times you beat him, as well as his health points, so make sure to keep training your pet's strength and speed so your damage increases too. If you're training a new battle pet train the level up to five, health up to 11 and you can battle. After that train all your stats up to ten, then train them all evenly up to 20 until increasing your level and training more!
HOW TO WIN A BATTLE AGAINST THE EASY OPPONENTS
Before you are able to battle the weakest battle opponent (Appy Trading Card)
your pet must have at least four health points and be able to attack for five damage points.
This is easily achieved with two basic weapons and by having your pet's health stat up to four points and both strength and speed stats up to two points each. How to train your pet is covered shortly. You win the battle when your opponent's health points are reduced to zero and your pet still has health points remaining. This simple battle will only take one round. I recommend the Leaf Sword for a good starter weapon:
For a full list of all the best weapons visit Gennie's Battle Guide:
https://sites.google.com/site/marabattleguide/home
Your pet will only need to be equipped with two weapons along with being properly statted.
Armour or any other defensive items don't have any affect at this time.
The battle opponents Appy and Mara are the two easiest for beginners. You can see a list of all battle opponents ranked from lowest health points (Difficulty) or how they rank for most damage also on Gennie's battle quide. The easiest restockable Trading Cards are: Pop, Appy, Mara, Uayl, Lunar, Halloween Alien and Pepperoni.
You can see all the information you need on Gennie's Guide such as a list of all the battle opponents and relevant info.
OPPONENTS DIFFICULTY LEVEL
When you're battling an opponent for Goals you'll need to battle a certain "difficulty". A Trading Card's "difficulty" is just another way of saying how many health points it has. Every time a Trading Card/battle opponent loses a battle it's health points go up by one to make it more challenging for you. When Goals ask you to battle an opponent of a certain difficulty just look at your battle list and all their health points to see their difficulty level.
HOW TO HEAL IN BATTLE
At some point your pet will need to heal during a battle. Remember you still get attacked and lose points as you heal, so you need to always heal at least double what an opponents hits with for damage against you. As long as you heal your pet more than what your opponent attacks with PLUS ENOUGH EXTRA TO SURVIVE ANOTHER ATTACK AFTER THE HEALING ROUND you will win. You should just use the Kirin Horn Wands for now but you will need magic stats to beat tougher opponents when you need to heal more than Wnads can do for you.
Your pet can heal by using Wands or other Healing Items at the beginning until your pet has trained in Magic, which is another way of healing for pets who have trained in Magic stats by doing Computer Repair Quests. I suggest two Kirins Horn Wands:

I will discuss magic in another section for those interested.
WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT WEAPONS
You don't really need a top weapon to battle for site events or goal levels. Better weapons will help you beat stronger opponents if your pet is trained high enough. Weapon damage is meaured by icons which for all intents and purposes are basically equal so just know a "14 icon weapon" is substantially stronger than a "3 icon" weapon. When your pet attacks, damage is calculated by the weapon's icons multiplied by the combined total of speed and strength stats of your battle pet. It is this very reason that highly statted pets can attack for more damage than low statted pets even with the same weapon.
WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT PET TRAINING
A well trained battle pet is essential to battling. Pets can be trained at the gym for Level, Strength, Speed, Defence and Health. Each stat takes a certain amount of time and costs a certain amount of crystals. This time and cost gets higher as your pet level gets higher. There is an Elite Gym requiring Diamonds instead of crystals where pets do Olympic Training in Coordination, Balance, and Stamina. Here is what the different stats do for your pet.
Level - Your pet's level is only used to determine how long a training session takes at the gym and how many crystals it will cost. For this reason you never want to train in level until the your stats are all as high as they can be first because high level pets takes longer and cost lots more to train. Your pet's stats can be trained as high as double your pet level plus one. Some pets have low levels with high stats sometimes but this is due to Fairy Rewards, not from training at the gym.
Health - when your pet's health points are reduced to zero the battle is lost and your pet can't battle again until healed. If your pet is low on health it won't even show up in the battle arena. Pets can Heal at the Bubble Pit:
https://www.marapets.com/bubblepit.php
Speed and Strength - these starts are combined to increase a weapon's damage as your pet gets stronger. Getting these stats is just as important, or more, than getting "the best" weapons. A weakly statted pet won't be able to take advantage of a strong weapon.
Defence - not usable at this time. It's still important to train so you're not behind if needed.
The main thing to remember is be patient because training does take a long time but if you just chip away at it you can always steadily improve your pet. Always make sure to train everything as high as you can until the gym insists you raise your pet level first.
ALL ABOUT MAGIC
Magic is without any doubt the most confusing part of battling. Your pet's magic is a stat earned mainly due to completing Computer Repair Quests. It's a way to heal your pet above and beyond what Wands will heal. When figuring out healing and magic there is an interesting weirdness you should know. If you use two Wands or Healing Items without using any magic, the game counts that you have actually used three! A Kirin Horn Wand only heals 24 points but if you analyze the battle summary you'll see that your pet actually gained 76 (24+24+24) points. If you use magic under the healing option in a battle (that percentage in a drop down box) then you only get the value of two healing itmes (28 for two Kirin Horn Wands)plus whatever magic points you used. You can heal one point for every magic point used. If you use 24 magic points it's the same as using a Wand.
You are allowed to utilize five times your pet level in magic. This replenished automatically after a battle.
Although Magic isn't necessary at the beginning of battling it's vitally important in battling a good portion of strong opponents. It's a good habit to try and keep your magic five times higher than your pet level. You can have more magic than what you're allowed to use which results in your stats looking like magic isn't full even at the beginning of a battle.

My battle pet Neflix can beat any opponent needed for Goals. He does not like leaving for very long so he CAN NOT help with Knuttt Knight quests or Battle Challenges. He is very happy to visit anyone for a couple of hours to help you pass Goals or just to battle a little bit to earn avatars.

My main pet Melitza is regrettably not available for helping out with Missions because she is always in the Trading Card Temple and Slate Pyramid.
