Entering the Battledome, the player can choose one of their Neopets to enter a match, and either a one player opponent or another player's Neopet looking for a battle to fight. The player must provide their own equipment for their Neopet, equipped to them from their inventory or the [http://www.neopets.com/dome/neopets.phtml stats page]. Only Neopets that have at least one hit point (HP), are not hungry, and are not [[disease|sick]] may fight. Battles occur in one of seven arenas, which correspond to several different worlds. Each arena looks different but are otherwise the same. An eighth arena is available only for [[Neopets Premium]] members with additional challengers. | Entering the Battledome, the player can choose one of their Neopets to enter a match, and either a one player opponent or another player's Neopet looking for a battle to fight.

Battledome matches are turn-based, and consist of several rounds. In each round, the player may select up to two items of their Neopet's equipment for it to use, and select a stance or [[ability]] (either species specific or a Faerie ability). Once both players have chosen, what equipment each battler used and the damage they did is displayed. Since the 2012 update, this is accompanied with battle animations. If both of the competitors still have health remaining, another round begins and this repeats. Else, the challenger with no health remaining loses and the other player is victorious. Matches may end up in a draw. | Battledome matches are turn-based, and consist of several rounds.

In the old Battledome, stances added an additional multiplier to the equation below, and abilities could add offensive or defensive icons, as well as heal or provide new weapons for the fight. In the beta, these have not yet been re-implemented. | ||

Damage is done by different numbers of elemental icons. Some equipment deals damage to the opponent, and some equipment defends against icons dealt by the opponent - many items do a combination of both. The actual damage done by a Neopet by a certain number of icons depends on that Neopet's strength stat. The amount of damage defended depends on their defence stat: | Damage is done by different numbers of elemental icons.
