Thanks for the quick strat. Second pet exploded a bit too fast though. Just add this condition to the script in order to avoid premature explosion. This way you can even put a leveling pet as third pet.

use(Flyby:515) [!enemy.aura(Weakened Defenses:516).exists & self(#1).active]
use(Thunderbolt:779)
use(Explode:282) [self(#1).active]
use(Explode:282) [self(#2).active & enemy.hpp<40]
use(#1)

Not sure what you mean by Exploded too fast? The enemy has no defensive or avoidance abilities to create an issue.

I mean the second pet can do a simple attack before exploding and thus defeat the enemy, ensuring all xp goes safely to the third pet. I know it’s a low xp fight but I like the idea there is no loss ^^ did it with a lv 1 instead of random 25, worked well.

The way you originally worded it, it made it sound like there was something wrong with the strategy, and the conditional you'll generally want in the case of a level pet is:

enemy.hp.can_explode

so:

use(Explode:282) [enemy.hp.can_explode]

This one allows for the script to read your pet's Explode amount & when the enemy's hp meets that threshold.

Oh, the strat is fine indeed. My english is not always accurate though ^^ Thanks for the tip about the condition, will do that in my script.

This worked perfectly, didn't even need the third pet. One small correction though: After Turn 3 it says "Bring in your Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling" but that is the pet you start off with. This should be Darkmoon Zeppelin. The abilities used are correct, so it's a small detail, but it did confuse me a bit.
