I was soooo confused by the instruction to use Pump "when the backline pets are active". How do I use an ability on a pet while it's in the backline? Then I realized it means to use it while I'm fighting Direflame's backline pets, I got confused because I didn't even get Hydrath Droplet into battle until only Direflame was left. Syd solo'd both backline and Albatross wasn't needed after the initial Wind Buffet!
Of course, this is is also an RNG element, as it's possible to get more difficult backline pets. But also, I've been playing this game since TBC and always loved pet battles but apparently didn't understand how Pump's 10% buff works until today.
