I just recently started playing neopets again after a break of several years, and have found a lot of things have changed. I almost feel like a newbie again. Anyway, I noticed something when going to the battledome to battle with my pet. His HP bar is green and full, while his agility, defence, and attack are low and red. Why is this, and what can I do to change them for the better? Or can I? Also, I have quite a few lupe specific battledome weapons, such as Iron Lupe Collar, Iron Lupe Helm, Sturdy Iron Lupe Boots, Golden Lupe Helm, and Lupe Battle Claw. Are these decent weapons? What would be upgrades from them? Thank you everyone in advance for your help and friendly advice.
