The strategy might fail if you use it with this pet instead of the one the strategy creator intended.

The substitute finder looks for these criteria in relation to the original pet:

Same family

Has the required skills

Has the required stats (if specified)

Ignores specific breed requirements for the main pet, as breeds can be very different for substitutes

1 / 2

9.0.2 Update: Adjusted TD script to account for the questionable buffs to weather abilities, including Sunlight, Moonfire, and Cleansing Rain, which are all present in this fight. The fight is slightly less reliable now because Dignity heals for more with Cleansing Rain, but that will only matter if you get incredibly unlucky and don't crit during Hawk Eye.

This strategy allows you to level any level one pet. It doesn't need to have a certain amount of health, it won't take damage at all. The leveling pet must be in the second slot for this to work.

I recommend the Sprite Darter Hatchling if you have one, due to its higher health. You can use an S/S Nether Faerie Dragon, but you'll risk having to restart if Beauty and Conviction land too many crits for your Faerie Dragon to survive the third turn against Conviction.

I've noticed an error in the td script. As it is now Mechanical Axebeak will cast Hawk Eye two times in a row. I edited the script (added "& !self.aura(Hawk Eye:520).exists") and after that Dignity has always died before casting Tidal Wave, meaning that the lvling pet takes 0 damage.

Edited TD script:
quit [self(#2).dead]
change(#1) [self.dead]
change(#3) [self(#2).active]
change(#3) [weather(Sunny Day:403)]
change(#2) [enemy(#2).hp<400 & !self(#2).played]
standby [enemy(#2).active & enemy.round=1]
use(Life Exchange:277)
use(Moonfire:595) [self.ability(Life Exchange:277).duration=5]
use(Hawk Eye:521) [self.aura(Decoy:333).exists & !self.aura(Hawk Eye:520).exists]

Probably needs an RNG tag. Out of 24 rounds 6 were failures where the sprite darter died early.

I started off fine, but then had a long string of failures due to Slot 3 dying before round 12. Definitely not as stable as of 9.0 (edited)

I have adjusted the strategy and the TD script following 9.0.2's buffs to weather abilities. Thank you for alerting me to the problem!

Now, back to Shadowlands. (edited)

either beauty's sunlight kills the level pet or dignity's wave kills it if you're lucky enough to get that far. This is no place for a lvl 1 pet. (edited)

You didn't follow the instructions if the Sunlight damaged your leveling pet. Make sure it's in slot 2.

I just tried the fight today, with my leveling pet in slot 2, and it died to the first Sunlight.

I am unable to reproduce this problem myself. Decoy is still blocking the Sunlight damage from your first two pets, which are the Mechanical Axebeak and your level pet.

Kesher#11723

wrote on 12/06/2020

I've been using this strategy today. It would seem the Axebeak needs to be higher speed or something so it attacks first. The sunlight cast goes off before Decoy can go up for me so it kills the leveling pet first attack every time. (edited)

Kesher#11723

wrote on 12/06/2020

Okay, yes I just confirmed. I got an axebeak with 320 speed so it attacked first, it gets Decoy up before the sunlight. If the axebeak is too slow like my other one was, Sunlight goes off before Decoy and the strategy fails.

Since the Nether Faerie Dragon has less HP than the Sprite Darter Hatchling, I've found that when fighting Conviction, if he crits with Eyeblast or if you end up with less than 700 HP after Eyeblast, simply using Life Exchange instead of an Arcane Blast that round will lead to a victory even if he crits on the following attack if you happen to be extra unlucky.

Nice strat. I changed the 4th Row of the TD Script. I added [round=1] to the Decoy. So you save one round, because it is not necessary when you switch Axebeak back in against Conviction unless it does crit with Eyeblast. Don't know if this enough to get Axebeak under 50% HP. I did not have this scenario so far. Time: 1:45 (edited)

So when Eyeblast crit, Axebeak dies. So decoy step is the safer play.

first time i tried this one, s/s Sprite died on that round 3 warning. i continued anyway and somehow won the fight anyway with s/s Axebeak sitting at 62 HP for a long time lol.

it happened a few more times and each time i was still able to win the fight, so pretty solid strat IMO. the last enemy pet doesn't do any immediate damage and axebeak killed it before whirlpool went off. (edited)

Ingenious strategy - not the fastest, but it does allow you to use any level 1 pet with the clever combination of Decoy on a Flying pet.

This is a good strat. For those of us not lucky enough to have the Sprite, it works most of the time. Its all about how much quill damage you take

Sunbeam will kill your lvl 1 if it's in the 3rd slot, Decoy won't protect it. That's the problem I had and I wasn't paying attention.

Are you sure you're using an S/S breed Axebeak? No other breed is fast enough to get the Decoy off before Sunlight hits your backline with 158 damage. (edited)
