Following the guide worked perfectly. The script was 0 for 9. I would always be 200 health under, and never exploded.

On turn 7 it swapped in the Minfernal, so I just Exploded on tha turn then Pounced when the Minfernal died.

Surprised no one has mentioned the Enchanted Broom on this one. Same strat as above, except I used Enchanted Broom in place of the Sapphire Cub. Start with Batter, next time it gets brought in do 2x Wind-Up, followed by Batter. Definitely one of the easier fights.

eckokitten wrote on 2018-10-05 15:34:11

I couldnt get this to work as it threw off the timing of the other pets without that screech. My broom didnt get to go first either.

2. Erudite Manafiend is forced in, immediately bring back Mini Mindslayer.

This worked well. My Minfernal and Mindslayer had the same health, but all of the swaps worked perfectly. Thanks for another great strategy, Lazey, and for the super website, XuFu.

Mergas wrote on 2018-06-26 23:19:07

Agreed. I had the same situation, Minfernal and Mindslayer with the same health, and wasn't sure that it would work - but it did! I would never finish any of these fights without this site. Thank You!

Loncis wrote on 2017-09-25 05:31:20

I didn't have a Sapphire Cub, so I substituted Netherspace Abyssal. I tried this three times and each time it went off without a hitch. Good luck to you all.

1. Pass. (Minfernal is forced in.)
2. Extra Plating
3. Immolate
4. Pass (Perhaps it's my breed of Minfernal (H/H), but I did not get the chance to get off the second Immolate. Mini Mindslayer is forced in.)
5. Inner Vision
6. Eyeblast (My health was reduced to 94 after Mar'cuus's attack, but Eyeblast reduces Mar'cuus's speed by 25%, so you will strike first next turn.)
7. Life Exchange (Netherspace Abyssal is forced in.)
8. Immolate
9-10. Meteor Strike (Minfernal is forced in.)
11. Explode.

Done.

Otto wrote on 2017-10-14 15:36:49

This doesn't seem to work - my Minfernal come's in with about ~700 HP but is killed before he can get off the Explode.

Siance wrote on 2018-06-17 16:35:13

I changed this so that instead of doing meteor strike at step 9-10 I just exploded and it killed him and if it did not work I would have had 1 round left on speed boost for next pet to finish the job.

Zebriel wrote on 2018-04-29 15:42:46

My minfernal had too much hp so it got swapped in instead of the sapphire cub, had to improvise but managed to win...

On turn 7 my minfernal was swapped in. Just used explode at that turn, sapphire cub brought in and won with a single pounce.

Baldulf wrote on 2017-09-15 09:15:08

Worked this way for me, too.

Kreggy wrote on 2017-09-18 10:52:19

Same

Suutar wrote on 2017-10-10 02:28:03

Me three. The minfernal had 702 health; the cub had 699

Finadama wrote on 2017-10-27 05:12:15

Ditto. I found that you have to use a PP Minfernal - both Minfernal and Mindslayer will have 1400 HP. Strat will work as written this way.

Askania

wrote on 2018-01-04 11:45:38

Same and this should be the #1 strat because it cuts out 2 moves.

DavidG wrote on 2018-02-27 01:39:04

This. If Minfernal is H/H or H/P it will get swapped in at turn 7 instead of the Cub. It's probably worth using a Minfernal with the biggest health pool you can find since that increases the damage of Explode, and Explode is not subject to the 50% boss damage reduction. I used an H/H Minfernal with WiredTexan's suggested change and it worked like a charm.

Eppiedermal wrote on 2018-02-08 19:16:37

Note, you can do what I have read elsewhere in some of these posts - my Minfernal had equal health as my Mindslayer, so I loaded 2 random pets with my mindslayer and let him take one punch. Then, without healing him, I loaded the recommended team. Worked perfect!!!

Not sure why, but it looks like I posted my previous script before it was complete.

JacktheKnife wrote on 2017-09-20 10:11:37

I did this with a Sanctum Cub, Abyssius and Blood Boil (P/S) - Abyssius was probably not the best but it did get volcano and Flamethrower in. 2 Blood boil probably would have been better.

Pommie Tappet wrote on 2017-10-01 14:34:08

Thanks for the suggestion, JacktheKnife. I used specifically:
• Sapphire Cub 222
• Abyssius 211
• Blood Boil 221

With the following moves:
1. Screech - Abyssius is forced in
2. Flamethrower
3. Volcano
4. Flamethrower - Blood Boil is forced in
5. Expunge
6. Drain Blood
7. Pass - Sapphire Cub is forced in
8. Pounce
9. Screech
10. Pounce - Blood Boil is forced in
11. Drain Blood
12. Expunge

wrote on 2017-12-11 20:41:52

My ordering of pets being pulled in ended up a bit different than Pommie Tappet (cub->boil->abys->cub->boil), but it still worked well. Abyssius was P/P, Sapphire Cub was S/S and Blood Boil was P/B.

noctus wrote on 2017-09-10 11:09:34

i had s/s, b/b, p/s
my minfernal went in on t7 instead
debuffed mar'cuus (immolate)
then exploded
brought in saph for a pounce to win

Amorius

wrote on 2017-12-08 22:30:33

I had the exact same issue due to using an H/P Minfernal however, my explosion in the same round as yours ended the fight (I'm assuming due to higher explosion [40% of higher hp] and more power caused more immolate damage).

Serafene wrote on 2017-09-17 16:54:43

Use netherspace abyssal x2 and sapphire cub, cub first, rake, abys- gate, explode, cub, rake, abys- gate, explode, cub, pounce, rake

Shunai wrote on 2017-09-18 19:19:55

The way you have this written does not work, as the turns are off. The proper turn order should be:

Sapphire Cub 2-1-X
Netherspace Abyssal 2-2-2
Netherspace Abyssal 2-2-2 (I used P/S and P/P breeds)

1-Rake. First Abyssal is swapped in.
2-Immolate
3-Nether Gate. Second Abyssal is swapped in.
4-Nether Gate
5-Explode. Bring in Sapphire Cub.
6-Rake. Abyssal is swapped in.
7-Explode. Cub is brought in.
8-Pounce
9-Rake (if needed, Mar'cuus might already be dead)
