To beat the Puppet Master in Prodigy, follow these key strategies:

Pets

• Use high-level pets with high health and good damage output. Avoid physical pets like Shivertusk or Terramite because the Puppet Master uses Shadow spells, which are strong against Physical types

• A good pet combination is one with high health but moderate damage, and another with higher damage but lower health to balance survivability and offense

• Pets like Embershed and Fathom are recommended, as they have strong Astral spells that counter Shadow

Spells and Relics

• Use Astral spells against the Puppet Master since Astral beats Shadow, which is the Puppet Master's main element

• The best relic to use is the Ancient Astral relic. If unavailable, try the Ancient Storm relic or any relic with high damage and low recharge spells

• Avoid using physical spells or wands with physical spells, as they are weak against the Puppet Master

• Recommended wands include the Cosmic Sword or Dual Blade, both of which have strong Astral spells

Equipment

• Equip your best armor set, with the Titan Power Armor set being the top choice, followed by Mira’s or Celestial sets

• Good armor increases survivability against the Puppet Master's heavy attacks.

Battle Tips

• Do not use healing spells before the Puppet Master’s heart boost, as he will restore your health anyway, making your healing wasteful

• Focus on answering math questions correctly to maximize your attack power and avoid misses

• When the Puppet Master steals one of your pets, do not target that pet; focus your attacks elsewhere

• Use single-target attacks rather than multi-hit spells to maximize damage efficiency

• Be patient and persistent; leveling your wizard and pets to around level 100 and upgrading gear can significantly improve your chances

By combining these strategies-strong Astral pets, good gear, proper spell choice, and careful battle tactics-you can defeat the Puppet Master effectively in Prodigy
