	Shenk	Adapted the strategy to the Shadowlands changes. Note that I excluded the P/P breed from the raptor. In theory every breed can still work but there is a fair chance that the P/P will kill Ruddy too soon and the strategy won't work as described anymore.

I'm assuming any breed with power > 304 would work fine. If given the choice though, go with the PP Nexus Whelpling with 341 power. Pet #3 - I have done limited testing with different Zandalari breeds, but they all seem to work well so far. If given the choice, go with the PS breed (305 power / 305 speed).

How does it work: The enemy Imp (Frill) is almost harmless to critters. The idea is to keep him as enemy front pet (he uses Fade and next turn you stun the pet you don't want to see and Frill comes back) and to kill enemy backline pets with Pheromones. A fawn provides needed healing. Any fawn type and breed works, but the more power it has, the better it works (best is P/P Gleamhoof Fawn) - more power = more healing = less turns wasted on healing.

I highly recommend just using the script. The steps might be a little hard to follow, so I'll explain in more detail here: Frill It's important to note that the Super Sticky Goo debuff must have 2 turns left to stop Fade from swapping. If it only has 1 turn left, Frill will swap out anyways. His Fade casts aren't 100% consistent, so whenever its CD is 1 round or less, you can only cast Super Sticky Goo or you risk getting juked and Frill swapping out. Ruddy You continue to tank with Zoom until the Magma Trap is gone and Clobber has 5 turns of CD left (so you have time to combo with your Unborn Val'kyr and Foulfeather).

Don't bother counting turns. Prioritize Apocalypse's timer and Sticky Goo as specified.

Nadiv

The fight is very very long (75+ turns), but there is no RNG (always wins)

Using script is recommended as it's all priority based.

How does it work: The enemy Imp (Frill) is almost harmless to critters. The idea is to keep him as enemy front pet (he uses Fade and next turn you stun the pet you don't want to see and Frill comes back) and to kill enemy backline pets with Pheromones. A fawn provides needed healing.

Any fawn type and breed works, but the more power it has, the better it works (best is P/P Gleamhoof Fawn) - more power = more healing = less turns wasted on healing.

The strategy works with 1 lovebird, but the script won't work in this case. Pheromones' going to have lower uptime and the bird'll need more healing. The fight is going to last even longer. With 1 lovebird I'd use additional fawn for faster healing.

Squirl

Usually wins around round 41. Only fails if Foulfeather gets crit and top-ended by Crush.

Both breeds of Unborn Val'kyr work, but H/H basically can't fail to crits while B/B sometimes can.

I highly recommend just using the script. The steps might be a little hard to follow, so I'll explain in more detail here:

Frill
It's important to note that the Super Sticky Goo debuff must have 2 turns left to stop Fade from swapping. If it only has 1 turn left, Frill will swap out anyways. His Fade casts aren't 100% consistent, so whenever its CD is 1 round or less, you can only cast Super Sticky Goo or you risk getting juked and Frill swapping out.

Ruddy
You continue to tank with Zoom until the Magma Trap is gone and Clobber has 5 turns of CD left (so you have time to combo with your Unborn Val'kyr and Foulfeather). Sometimes you'll only have to keep Zoom in for the first round and other times you'll have to tank a full Clobber cycle.

Works for me, i found on wowhead:

1A far easier and faster strategy is:
Giant Woodworm x/x/2
Macabre Marionette x/2/1
Electrified Razortooth 1/2/x

Frill - use Super Sticky Goo repeatedly until Frill dies

Ruddy - continue with Super Sticky Goo until Woodworm dies. Use Macabre Marionette, Siphon Life anytime it is up on cool down, and otherwise use Dead Man's Party until Ruddy dies. Pass whenever you are stunned.

Wanderer - continue using Dead Man's Party until Marionette dies. When Electrified Razortooth comes in, use Rip, then Blood in the Water. Wanderer dies.

Used this exact recipie for months with great success. Today (December 22nd) it doesn't work anymore. Bloodfang doesn't kill Ruddy. Tried different breeds of Kneebiters as well, but Ruddy is left with ~140 HP after Bloodfang.

The strategy by Means in this thread works fine though.
"Giant Woodworm x/x/2
Macabre Marionette x/2/1
Electrified Razonscale 1/2/x

Ruddy - continue with Super Sticky Goo until Woodworm dies. Use Macabre Marionette, Siphon Life anytime it is up on cool down, and otherwise use Dead Man's Party until Ruddy dies. Pass whenever you are stunned.

I have done this fight so many times successfully with the zoom + zandalari strat but today I got stuck in a really bad rng with the stuns. I ended up trying this suggested team but didnt have Tricorne or Lava Beetle. I used Fire Beetle (1,2,2) and Lil'Ragnaros (2,1,2). Magma wave to clean up the playing field and Lil Ragnaros Magma Trap gave me the advantage I needed to soak up the loss I still suffered on the stuns because my zandarari P/P went down hard and fast. In the end it was a win for me using lil rag.

I tested your strategy after patch 9.0.1 went live today and it works. So I added it here complete with a TD script, only added Devour at the end because Blood in the Water didn't always finish Wanderer off. Hope that's okay. I find it useful because it uses pets not used in other fights in this dungeon and it's faster than the one with Apocalypse I used before.

Me personally not having any luck with the sniff out. The act of going to sniff out always seems to set the trap off before it's removed. Still won the fight, but I'm kinda sad I've never gotten to see the move properly go off.

The Kneebiter/Anklerender is the only one that can be stunned.

I had my Kneebiter stunned after Apocalypse, when I did the optional step of bringing the Kneebiter in for Black Claw/Hunting Party if alive. It didn't matter to the success of the strat, which finished perfectly, but perhaps it affected the script, which I didn't use.

wrote on 2020-01-25 04:21:17

The trap stun at the end is literally the only one that can happen. And that stun doesn't have an impact on the success of the strat. Before the nerfs the trap would usually kill the zandalari that's why there was no need to make the script pass on stuns, but now it can survive it for a round

i'd rather use any pet that can get rid of battlefield objects or debuffs. playing without that is putting you in a big risk of losing to the trap rng.
tricorne is just there because it is twice effective against magma trap being a critter with the object removal. so if you don't have tricorne just use anything else that can do that (like the snooters from mechagon) (edited)

	Shenk	Adapted the strategy to the Shadowlands changes. Note that I excluded the P/P breed from the raptor. In theory every breed can still work but there is a fair chance that the P/P will kill Ruddy too soon and the strategy won't work as described anymore. You can still do it, but you'd have to adapt yourself.	Breed Script Staff Pick	2	4.9	100%	116	156 2:36	23-24
	DragonsAfterDark	Long, but all pets survive, and no RNG that I can see. I would highly recommend using the script. 2/8/20 -- I've updated the steps & script to ensure that Wanderer will be in for Apoc. Thank you for your feedback :)	Breed Tricky Script	2	4.6	100%	49	300 5:00	48

	Berendain	9.0 Update: Still works just as well. I wrote the TD script first, and I recommend using that if you're able to. I've done my best to translate the TD script into step by instructions that are readable. The basic idea is to use the Nexus Whelpling's Arcane Winds to prevent your pets from being stunned, and its Sear Magic ability to trigger the Magma Trap. This will damage the Nexus Whelpling, but your Nexus Whelpling can take the damage without issue. The Bile Larva will deal with Ruddy, and the Periwinkly Calf will take care of Wanderer. Frill will be last and will be cleaned up by the Periwinkle Calf and, if needed, the Nexus Whelpling as well.	RNG Script	2	4.5	40%	14	190 3:10	28-33

Credit to Xchino @ Wowhead "Just spam sunlight on CD, keep up photosynthesis and keep swapping between your two Sunlight pets, making sure to refresh your HoT before swapping so your pets heal on the backline. You will easily outheal Ruddy while Sunfire whittles away the enemies backline pets. Once they are dead, swap to your apocalypse pet, cast it and swap back to your healing pets and just continue tanking. Remember to swap back to your roach for Apocalypse if you don't want to sacrifice a pet to this encounter."	Shop Script	2	4.9	100%	8	600 10:00	77-85
	ghostpets	Fight time: 1:45-2:00 on 16-17 rounds the majority of the time (Strategy A) 2:00-2:15 on 18-20 rounds when stunned on Round 1 (Strategy B) Given the fight, this is actually a pretty fast strategy (16-20 rounds compared to the popular Tricorne+Apocalypse strategy that averages around 20-26 rounds). Although the strategy wall of text below makes it look like a long and daunting fight at first glance, do note that you will only be applying one-half of it to the fight. You can also just use the TD Script for simplicity. Pet Breed Notes: Pet #1 - I have tested PP Nexus Whelpling and PS Stormborne Whelpling breeds. I'm assuming any breed with power > 304 would work fine. If given the choice though, go with the PP Nexus Whelpling with 341 power. Pet #3 - I have done limited testing with different Zandalari breeds, but they all seem to work well so far. If given the choice, go with the PS breed (305 power / 305 speed).

	Dpaul	I tried one of the strategies here, and failed miserably due to a miss. I found this gem of a strategy on wowhead, posted by a member named Buuloki. It worked flawlessly, and leaves little room for RNG. It is also very simple by comparison. I hope it works as well for you as it did for me! Don't bother counting turns. Prioritize Apocalypse's timer and Sticky Goo as specified. Long? Yes. 1-shot? Yes. (Thanks to ZeroOrDie453#1916 for the TD Script!)	RNG Script	2	4.5	72%	9	290 4:50	40-42

	Nadiv	The fight is very very long (75+ turns), but there is no RNG (always wins) Using script is recommended as it's all priority based. How does it work: The enemy Imp (Frill) is almost harmless to critters. The idea is to keep him as enemy front pet (he uses Fade and next turn you stun the pet you don't want to see and Frill comes back) and to kill enemy backline pets with Pheromones. A fawn provides needed healing. Any fawn type and breed works, but the more power it has, the better it works (best is P/P Gleamhoof Fawn) - more power = more healing = less turns wasted on healing. The strategy works with 1 lovebird, but the script won't work in this case. Pheromones' going to have lower uptime and the bird'll need more healing. The fight is going to last even longer. With 1 lovebird I'd use additional fawn for faster healing.	Tricky Script	2	0.0	100%	1	570 9:30	70+

	Wiff	This is a Beast AoE team built to take advantage of the humanoid's low damage and decimate the backline. The Flying pet may be anything capable of stunning or sleeping the imp to deny it an action. The goal is get the anubisath swapped in so that the Pyreclaw can hit the backline while Zao keeps it healed.	Script	2	2.0	85%	3	295 4:55	46+
	Squirl	Usually wins around round 41. Only fails if Foulfeather gets crit and top-ended by Crush. Both breeds of Unborn Val'kyr work, but H/H basically can't fail to crits while B/B sometimes can. I highly recommend just using the script. The steps might be a little hard to follow, so I'll explain in more detail here: Frill It's important to note that the Super Sticky Goo debuff must have 2 turns left to stop Fade from swapping. If it only has 1 turn left, Frill will swap out anyways. His Fade casts aren't 100% consistent, so whenever its CD is 1 round or less, you can only cast Super Sticky Goo or you risk getting juked and Frill swapping out. Ruddy You continue to tank with Zoom until the Magma Trap is gone and Clobber has 5 turns of CD left (so you have time to combo with your Unborn Val'kyr and Foulfeather). Sometimes you'll only have to keep Zoom in for the first round and other times you'll have to tank a full Clobber cycle.	Breed RNG Tricky Script	2	0.0	98%	0	225 3:45	36+
