Hints
Add 3 pounds to your familiar to make up for every extra star your opponent has
The ideal excess weight when picking a fight at the same star rating is 3. For low poundage familiars, 2 can be just as good.
Never pick a fight in which your familiar has an X rating
Poundage
adjustment by items: Personal Familiar Equipment, Lead Necklace, Rat
Head Balloon, Plexiglass Pith Helmet, Common Tiny Plastic Equipment (!)
Poundage adjustment by spells: Leash of Linguini, Empathy of the Newt
Poundage adjustment by 'mostly' potions: Knob goblin Pet-buffing Spray, Green Snowcone, Black Snowcone
Advanced Hints
When
there are seemingly no good fights available for your low-poundage
familiar and you can't alter its poundage with items, do this: Find the
fight you would least likely win if it was not against a familiar with
an X rating in that fight. e.g. A fight where you have star rating 1 in
against a 30 lbs familiar that has an x rating in that fight.
Warning: This strategy is unreliable when your familiar is 1-4 pounds
big, it only becomes reliable at poundage 5 (people with Amphibian
Sympathy should never worry)
