The Celestial Tournament

Quick Info:

Last updated 2022-10-31

The Celestial Tournament is a special instance and by most seen as the pinnacle of pet battle challenges.
You can do it once a week and inside, you will face three pet battle masters, followed by the four Celestials to fight against. The three masters change every week and there's a total of three sets of them rotating through.

Doesn't sound that hard, but what makes it tricky is that once you're in, you cannot heal your pets anymore! That makes planning ahead very important.
Xu-Fu can scan this section for the most suitable strategies according to your preferences and show the required pets.
It is recommended to check the tables week by week since you won't have to face all 9 tamers in one run.
The tool will use every pet only once due to the restriction of no healing.

Active:
US: Week 2 with Shademaster Kiryn, Wise Mari and Blingtron 4000
EU: Week 3 with Sully "The Pickle" McLeary, Dr. Ion Goldbloom and Lorewalker Cho

I don't know why, but it generates me a list of strategies requiring Moon-Touched Netherwhelp agains Yu'La. I don't have said pet and considering the fact there is no way to obtain it now, it gets pretty annoying. For comparison, there is another strategy agains Yu'La that requires Puddle Terror(wich I have) with a really good rating, but for some reason it is completely ignored for me.
Does it work as intended?

Hey, I ran into the same problem and was annoyed by it. I "fixed" it by getting the Baa'l Battle Pet and Death Seeker.

After that, those two got suggested to me (I think because it's a high-rated strategy) and the Moon-Touched Netherwhelp vanished from the list and was no longer suggested and needed.

Since then I did Week 1 without problems with the suggested pets and strategies, so I can confirm it works as intended. Good luck and have fun!

Hi! I'm not new to pet battling/collecting pets but new to actively trying to complete a lot of old and new pet battle achievements and this is one of them. This site has been a great help,, so thank you to all who do the work behind strats and all the other things! I was wondering if you can start this on week 3 instead of week 1. I've never done it and really want the pets from it but didn't know if I have to start at the beginning with week 1??? Thanks!!

There is no problem about which set of tamers you faced first.

The numbering of the weeks is entiorely arbitrary. You can start wherever in the cycle you like.

There are three sets of initial tamers, and they cycle each week. So if you did what the site labels as "Week 3" this week, the set of tamers the site lavels as "Week 1" will be up next week.

You just have to complete each of the three sets of tamers to get the achievement "Master of the Masters". You can do that in any order at all. You can skip weeks or months if you want.

Of course, you will have to repeat the wins a few times to get all the Coins needed to buy all of the Celestial pets. If I recall correctly, you will need 10 total CT wins to buy all the Celestials, and those 10 can be on any weeks.

I'm trying to click on links in the page, but ads have screwed up the site for me. Frames are misalligned and weekly links are unclickable.

I am forever greatful to the people behind this site. (And everyone who uses it.) This is one of those things I just assumed I would never ever get done. Today, I have my Xu-Fu pet, after so many years of wanting him.
I love Ban-Lu. But I'd far rather have both.
Much love to you all. <3

Today I could do the Clestial Tournament two times and got 2 coins.
Didn't think about it, as I did my first tournament some years ago and only got Xu-Fu.
Wanted to do it a third time, but this was not possible.
Strange.
I don't know if this was an error, a feature or just luck.

Something seems to be wrong..
Yesterday I did the Clelestial Tournament again.
Then tried to do it a second time.
There WAS the quest, but after accepting, it was not in my quest log and I couldn't start.
The NPC had still the "!" above its head.

Needs more investigation.
Could the old gods be the source of this behaviour?
Or is it something from the maw that irritates the celestials?

Verrrrry strange!

I know a million people have said it but thank you SO much. It's taken me this long to finally start the tournament (embarrassing, I know) but thanks to this site I know it'll be a breeze! Already got my kitten. Just 9 weeks and the last three shall be mine. :D

Thank you for you work on this amazing tool :D
Is there any way to get the TD Scripts along with the rematch strings in a single "go" ?

Unfortunately no. Those are two separate addons that don't support "cross-import" (yet?)

Thank you for all the hard work for this guide (and all pet guides). I just did my first time through the tournament and all these battles worked! Proud new owner of Xu-fu!

I used this amazing tool for week 2 yesterday, but found a bug because the tactic used for shademaster kiryn is basically empty! https://www.wow-petguide.com/index.php?Strategy=10216. Another thing is that the yu'la tactic https://www.wow-petguide.com/index.php?Strategy=154 doesn't work in the shadowlands pre-patch, mr bigglesworth can't bring yu'la down by himself anymore.

Hey!
Thanks for the note :) The empty strategy should not have been published, I unpublished it so it doesn't interfere with the tool anymore. Not really a bug, more a... result of a user not following the strategy creation rules ^^'
If there is a particular fight in a section that you want the tool to use, give it a favourite (the green heart at the top) - it will then always be used no matter what.

I've also marked and unpublished the Yu'la strategy so we can test it properly internally. Thanks!

Same as with a dungeon. You can right click either the dungeon eye on your mini-map, or your character portrait, and select 'Leave Instance'.

Just to add to this, if you are AFK too long in here, or get DC'd and come back, your "Leave Instance' will be gone. You'll have to hearth to return.

So I finally attempted the tournament today. Your strategies are spot on. Had to use some other groupings beside the 1st options but worked amazingly well. Thank you. Xu-Fu now belongs to me. (edited)
