So, maybe you're new to the Battledome, or simply unfamiliar with its recent makeover. Luckily for you, there's a spiffy tutorial to get you up to speed in five easy steps!
Training Calculator What's on this page? On this page you can find SunnyNeo's Battledome Training Calculator. This calculates for you exactly how many codestones or red codestones you need in order to get your pet to the desired battledome stats. Jan 28, 2018 Is Neopets broken? Just created an account for the first time in many years and no matter what I do I can't get the tutorial to load or any games to play. Anyone else experience this?

STEP 1: Arm Yourself!
Actually, you'll be arming your Neopet! It's not a good idea to go into battle empty-handed, so it's best to equip a few weapons first. Which weapons should you use? Where can you purchase them? Well, that all depends.
If you're a Neopian newbie, there is some free equipment in your Starter Pack you can use to prepare your Neopet for the Battledome.
For more experienced Neopians, there are many weapon shops around Neopia that can supply you with various pieces of equipment.
More serious 'Domers may want to compare stats and find the most bang for your buck. There's always the Battlepedia, but also some very helpful Fan Sites out there to aid in your search.
However you obtained it, once you have your equipment in your inventory, you can either click on it there and select the 'Equip NEOPETNAME' option in the pop-up, or you can visit the Stats page here in the Battledome (found on the navigation bar above) and equip from there.
Once equipped, you're ready to go lookin' for a fight!

STEP 2: Start a Fight
To get into a fight, find a 'Battle!' button! There's one on the main Battledome page and one on (almost) every page in the Battledome navigation bar. This will allow you to set up a fight.
From there, you choose which Neopet you'd like to take into battle, and then select your opponent! You can choose to fight a challenger (a 'computer-controlled' opponent) or a 2-player fight (against another Neopian).
Challenger
Neopets Tutorial
Browse through the opponents you've unlocked and, once you've decided whom you'll be fighting, select a Toughness for that challenger.
Average
Strong
Mighty
The Average toughness corresponds to the difficulty number listed in the column to the left, next to that opponent's name. The lower the number, the easier the challenger. From there, each toughness gets, well, tougher. Choose wisely!
2-Player
Neopets Button Tutorial
There are two options for 2-player fights. You can choose to send a challenge directly to another Neopian, or you can wait for a Skirmish. Follow the instructions on each page to find an opponent using these methods.
NOTE: During the beta, only other players in the beta can accept challenges and Skirmish wait times may be longer than normal!

Once you've found an opponent, the game is on!
STEP 3: Battle It Out
When you see the 'VS' screen, there's no turning back! Click the button at the bottom to enter the battle and prepare for Round 1.
The battle screen has a few different components to keep track of, but don't worry. You'll get the hang of things soon enough! Here's a breakdown:
- Your Neopet's portrait
- Your Neopet's name
- Your Neopet's remaining Hit Points
- Your Neopet's health bar - the full bar represents the total health; green is the health remaining while red is the damage taken last round
- Your Neopet
- Your Neopet's equipment
- Your opponent's name
- Your opponent's portrait
- Your opponent's chat - if you send a chat message, your Neopet will also have this bubble on its side of the screen!
- Your opponent's remaining Hit Points
- Your opponent's health bar - the full bar represents the total health; green is the health remaining while red is the damage taken last round
- Your opponent
- Your opponent's equipment
- Replay/Skip button
- Chat toggle
- Fight button - press this after you've planned your move to send it and see what happens!
- Status bar - this tells you what to do next
- Round indicator
- Combat log - a more precise log of what occurred this round, for battlers who want more detail
- Damage your Neopet took this round
- Damage your opponent took this round (i.e. the damage you did!)
As you battle various opponents, you'll get more familiar with this screen and how to use all the bits and bobs. For now, let's stick with the basics!
Every round, you'll need to plan your move. (Your opponent will do the same!) To do this, click on each equipment slot (#6 in the diagram) to select a weapon you'd like to use from the menu. These are what you'll use to damage your opponent and you can select up to two weapons per round.

Then click 'FIGHT!' (#16 in the diagram) to send your move and see how you fared. The fight will play out, showing your Neopet's moves and your opponent's moves and how much damage, healing, blocking, etc. was done by each. You can also look at the health bars to see how things panned out.
Evaluate what happened, plan another move, and keep fighting until someone wins! (Hopefully you.)
STEP 4: The Aftermath
After the fight ends, and you've collected your prizes for winning or cursed your fate for losing, it's time to recuperate. If your Neopet lost any Hit Points during the battle, you can visit the Healing Springs to get back into fighting shape, or you can buy some healing potions or neggs from your fellow Neopians for faster healing.
While your Neopet recovers, you can spend the time looking for weapon upgrades, asking for advice on the Battledome Neoboard, or training for your next bout.
When your Neopet is ready, you can head into battle again to prove your might!
STEP 5: Become a Battledome Master
It takes planning, strategy, and even a bit of luck to be great in the Battledome. Your Neopet will need to train hard at the training schools around Neopia to become stronger. You'll need to save your Neopoints to buy upgrades for your weapons and equipment. And you'll need to practice against the toughest of challengers to gain experience on the battlefield. However, earning Neopoints and loot, and even besting your Neofriend's high score make it all worthwhile.
Or maybe you just like punching people IN THE FACE.
Draik Facts
Pronounced:drake
Discovered: 25th June 2002
Species Day: 9th September
Native Land: Meridell
The Draik is a scaly Neopet that walks on two clawed feet. It is easily recognisable by its large ears (which are split into two parts, a little like those of the Acara), the whiskers sprouting from near its nostrils, and its wide wings. It has spiky ridges along its spine that reach down its long tail. At 100cm, it is larger than the majority of Neopets.
Draiks originally come from the kingdom of Meridell. Although there are morphing and transmogrification potions that can produce a Draik, they traditionally come from the enormous eggs that are found in dark, secluded places in their homeland. These eggs must be hatched at the Draiks' Nest, a secret place whose location has been passed down among Draiks for many years. Unfortunately, many in Meridell don't know the source of these huge eggs and only think that they would make a mountain of delicious omelettes... so if you see a Draik Egg in the Merifoods Shop, best to snap it up before it becomes someone's dinner!
Draiks are accomplished fliers who love to do aerial tricks and stunts. They like adventure, and quickly become bored with a quiet life. Wandering around Neopia, you may often see Draiks flying to and from Mystery Island for a bit of exploration. They are imaginative pets, and if left with nothing to do may end up play-fighting with imaginary enemies and plush toys.
The Draik was officially introduced to Neopians on the 25th day of Relaxing, Year Four (known outside Neopia as June 25th, 2002). Its name is similar to several older English words for the mythical creature we now know as the dragon. It was originally planned for this pet to be obtainable from the Creation Centre, and the first batch of Draiks was indeed released in this way. This is why, to this day, players refer to this pet as being Limited Edition rather than Restricted. However, the first Draik Eggs were sold on the 4th day of Gathering, less than three months later, and Draiks have hatched from them ever since. Their design has barely changed at all, going through only one redraw (in Year Nine).
Draik Trivia
- A malfunction in the program used to release LE pets led to a small number of Draiks being createable on Draik Day, Year 11. The uproar over this has never quite died down, and despite TNT's assurance that they would do everything possible to make sure this glitch never happened again, hordes of Neopians will probably stalk the Creation Centre on Draik Day for many years to come.
A Few Famous Draiks
- Miles is the intellectual Draik who runs the Wheel of Knowledge. His charming smile entices many Neopians into spending 400 NP on a daily spin.
- Swordsmaster Talek is an expert in Maraquan weapons, and a military officer for King Kelpbeard. He made a name for himself during the underwater city's clash with the pirates.
- Valrigard was once a knight of Meridell, but was erroneously accused of a weighty crime and imprisoned in the castle dungeons. You can find him in Escape from Meridell Castle, apparently not bothering to wait for a lawyer.
- Altador Cup fans can cheer for Draik player Luvea Trivon (Team Lost Desert). Older fans might remember Cawley Embith (Team Altador).
