To play this, tap 1 of your Water Neopets. After
both players roll for a contest this Neopet or Hero
is in, you may choose to have this Neopet or Hero
get an additional +2 to all stats. If you do,
discard this Equipment at the end of the contest.
95/234 Rare
Most people wonder how this guy managed to become a
rare. I do too. It's ability can be helpful, true,
but the stat boost is weak for the strength or
agility arenas. This guy's Fire cousin, the Red
Clockwork Grundo, is only a tad better with a boost
of 3 in Magic.
Don't get me wrong, this guy can be helpful. You can
change a contest from losing by one to winning by
one, but it's a one-shot deal. There have been
plenty of times where I've lost a contest by one
point and would have happily sacrificed an equip to
win the contest instead, but far more often I'd
rather take the loss and use the equip to help the
rest of the game. The more subtle boost this guy
gives is the psych-out factor. Your opponent will
have to consider that you could get an addition +2
at any time, so they might waste some taps and
equips on a rival.
Ratings:
If used well, this card can be annoying. But I'm
generally happy to see an opponent use it as it
makes it that much less likely they'll have other
more painful cards. I'd rank this guy at 2.2 of 5.

This card is neat.
You get a couple of decent stat bonuses in the
Strength and Agility Departments, as well as giving
yourself a win whenever you want, barring a horrible
roll...the fact that you can activate it *AFTER* you
roll makes this card 10X better than it would be
otherwise. On top of all that, it banks for two,
which is about all you can ask for from decent
equipment. However, it does require you to have a
Water Neopet to drop it, so I have to give it some
negative pointage. All total, I'll say:
2.5 out of 5 stars
