Tried a few other strategies, no luck. Runehoof, the second pet you have to fight, was just overpowering me with two stun effects, sometimes one right after the other.
Tried your startegy, worked the first time. (chef kiss) love ya for this! Thank you!

I ran into issues with Runehoof surviving with Xu-Fu's attack with very low HP. One workaround is to have Xu-Fu use Spirit Claws for his first skill instead of Bite. It has a chance to miss, which means you'll fail the fight, but it's probably still a more consistent strategy overall.

Sorry but I honestly don't see how anyone has gotten this to work. Should be marked RNG and some kind of higher-health breed requirement on the fox, at best according to the comments. But unless you have an incredibly lucky string of enemy misses, non-crits, and no stun, etc. I still don't see how it could work. Same issues as other commenters in terms of the familiar losing terribly.

I finally made it after spending an hour or so. The only way this can possibly work is if the second enemy pet, Runehoof, misses at least two times due to the darkness weather. So yeah please put an RNG flag so people will know there is time to spend with this, and bandages to bring.

Currently at my 10th failed attempt. Horrible strategy. It's RNG in the sense that maybe with only crits on your side there is a chance to make it.

This needs an RNG mark. I am currently at the 5th unsuccessful attempt. Feline familiar can be stunned. Any crit from their side will make your pets die. Also, Xu-Fu needs bite, so his abilities need to be corrected to 2-2-2

There are several people who investigate reports of problems with strategies on Xu-Fu's. There are designated Strategy Curators, and other regulars who read comments and are interested in the latest.

In my experience, when people leave a short "It didn't work" note, they usually made a mistake. Maybe they used a pet with the wrong Speed, maybe they didn't do a Pass where it was indicated, sometimes they were even using the team and strat from a completely different battle. :)

Sometimes there genuinely is a problem with the strat. This is where the Curators and others come in, checking the strat for weaknesses, and fixing it or removing it if it can't be fixed.

Since most failure reports with no details are wrong, it's not good to waste people's time investigating them. Instead, help them by providing the information they need.

If the strat failed for you, and you want your comment to be taken seriously:

1. Specify EXACTLY which species and breeds you used. In this case, my first suspicion is that your Fox was the wrong breed. I could be wrong about that, ofc, but I don't have any information to go on, because you provided none.

2. Specify whether you read the strategy from the site and executed it manually, or downloaded and used the tdScript.

3. Specify EXACTLY where the first unexpected thing happened, the first thing that deviated from what the strat predicts. What died too early? What didn't die when it was supposed to? What attack missed?

4. If possible, provide a log. You can see your log in the Pet Battle tab of your chat box. You can pull that out, make it bigger, screenshot it. Better still, you can use the addon Battle Pet Log Keeper from Curseforge, and do /pblk and Save Battle when the battle you want to log is complete.

Almost any strat can fail to a really unlucky string of crits, and some difficult challenge strats like the Family ones may fail more than anyone likes, but the people behind this site do their best to promote well-working strats. Do your part. Provide useful information.

I finally won after making the following changes: Bite on the Fox's first attack, since the speed buff wasn't going to help with Slugger anyway. Fox survives that fight with enough health to take a hit from RH, so DD on first attack against Runehoof and then another Bite before dying. This ate one of the large-hit attacks from Runehoof. Switched to Pounce for Feline Familiar's secondary attack (speed buff gave it an extra attack), easily killed Runehoof and even got a hit in on Duster. Rest of fight as described.

Darkrav83 wrote on 2021-03-14 11:05:54

I discovered the issue - your fox pet needs to be a higher health version. This is absolutely a breed dependent fight. I used my H/S Fox Kit and won the first try, even despite a huge crit from the moth pet. I did slightly vary my fox's attack order as well - Bite, Crouch, DD, Bite until enemy was dead.

Easty to miss it, turn 7 is both bring in a new pet, and Prowl. People may be missing that. I'd put prowl on its own line personally. It felt bad and RNGy until I realized what I was doing wrong. Once I prowled before Call Darkness, it was one-shot. (edited)

I'm aware of stats and upgrading. My FF has been rare for a long, long time.

I can't reproduce the issue now... it works. But the day I posted that, with a rare 25 FF and Dazzling Dance up, my cat did not have first move on the rounds and Runehoof was getting off nasty stuns. Edited original comment. (edited)

Bite on Zu-fu is in the second slot not the first.

20+ tries. This strategy is not very good.

turn 10 says ..."just bring Xu-Fu, Cub of Xuen in and use Bite" you have spirit claws chosen in the set up

also it took a few tries (these fights have a lot of RNG) i did swap out my first pet for an HS fox kit ... because it had better health and that worked better for me) (edited)

Typo somewhere....In step #10 you say to bring Xu-Fu in and use Bite but he is set-up in the set-up to use Spirit Claws. One of the two of those is wrong.

This needs an RNG mark: Between the misses, potential stun, and crits, this is incredibly RNG dependent. It took me 4 tries to even make it to the third pet alive. Currently giving up after 18 attempts.

RNG is more than just slightly a factor. my Feline Familiar NEVER gets the Call Darkness off because Runehoof first stuns it, then interrupts and kills it. So the prowl is all that gets off. So there's got be a breed factor missing somewhere along with the RNG

Still needs to have the Spirit Claws/Bite talent fixed.

Thank you for this. After many tries, I finally went for my fox option with the most power/damage, my Fjord Worg Pup, as the one with the most health died every time. It was very dicey, but I got it on the first try.

Might want to fix Xu. You have his moves as Spirit Claw on the top but in the description you say bite.

Not just slight RNG. attempt #15 has of this comment. 60% fox dies, the rest the stun from second pet. so the 9/10 win rate is not right at all

I was struggling a lot with this, my feline familiar kept getting destroyed but after a lucky crit, I was able to finish the fight with xu-fu left at 541 health. Don't give up on this strat.

This is pure RNG is hoping they miss you more than you miss them, if it's equal, you are likely to lose.

Yea there's something hidden at play here either breed or just severe RNG on this fight. But I've tried this 7 times with not even CLOSE to being able to kill the 3rd pet. Feline Familiar gets absolutely demolished by the 2nd pet and if you get stunned it's guaranteed a fail.

It worked for me but I had a big crit on Call Darkness that made the second pet a non-issue .Definitely needs RNG mark due to missing with call darkness or crits.

I'm thinking breeds might matter because this failed A LOT for me before I finally got a win with 88hp left on Xu-Fu. I'm lucky if pet 1 kills off enemy 1 (had to play around with the choices, ended up using Mist Fox Kit as my others failed miserably) but then Feline Familiar is dead before Runehoof is dead, mine never killed Runehoof. Xu-Fu gets mostly destroyed by Runehoof with the stuns, unless you get lucky. Took me 8 tries and I'm glad I don't need to do that again, lol. Thanks for the strat though because this was the only one I could tweak and get to work for me.

PROFESSORLAB#1941	The new Winter Veil pet for 2020 makes this fight way less stressful. I think that other than Runehoof stunning Jingles with Headbutt on specifically its first turn, or ridiculous bad RNG with crits, this strat is consistent. Other Fox pets should work in the first slot, as long as they have 284 or higher Speed to outspeed Runehoof during Dazzling Dance. Just make sure that they don't accidentally kill Slugger before you can switch Jingles in and set up Booby-Trapped Presents Script thanks to NabuArat	RNG Script Unobtainable	2	4.7	73%	24	104 1:44	14-15

Lazey	* Created on Beta, so maybe not final * So much RNG in this fight, I'm not happy with the result but at least it's something that looked more promising then other pet combos I tried. So good luck with Runehoof's Stuns/Interrupts and Duster's Moth Balls! sigh	Breed RNG Script	2	4.0	57%	16	95 1:35	14+
Berendain	Use your snake with the most power (max is 325 with a P/P Tree Python). The more power your snake has, the less chance your Feline Familiar will need to finish off Runehoof. There's still some RNG from crits, Moth Balls, and getting stunned before you can slow Runehoof.	Breed RNG Script	2	4.4	77%	6	95 1:35	13+
Kalagren	Very long with no RNG. ANY level 25 beasts with Prismatic Barrier, Ice Barrier, Beaver Dam and the like, work in the first 2 slots. All pets studied has this ability in slot 3, making the provided script usable. (Kovok is likely usable in the pet slot 3, it will just take more time, and changes the script and posted strategy.)

Tanashta	Very slight RNG on second enemy pet. But this strat should work flawlessy 9 times out of 10. Enjoy Edit 20/02/21: it seems 50% of people make it work 1st or 2nd time, 50% keep failing. I have tried this multiple times before posting. I guess it just involved more RNG than thought. Yet, I still think it's viable and easy strat with pets easy to find.
