1	Berendain	I tested it at least 20 times and it hasn't failed once. Runehoof will rarely get the chance to ruin anything, as he'll almost always get just 1 attack in, and it's when facing a pet who's already done his job.

1 / 2

Low XP

Breed

RNG

Not every strategy can be bullet proof. This is one of them. You might have to restart it, since there are some random elements that increase the risk of your pets failing. Don't blame them, please!

TCG

Shop

This strategy is using pets obtainable only from the WoW In-Game Shop for Battle.net Balance or real money.

Level 25+

You can use this strategy to carry a low level pet to give it experience.

Tricky

Some instructions are more difficult to follow than others. That's exactly what you might find in this strategy!

Script

The strategy offers a Script that can be used with the Pet Battle Script addon. You can copy the script by clicking on the button to the left of the pets.

Unobtainable

At least one pet in the strategy cannot be obtained anymore. If you have it, congrats!

It works but the script is wrong! Like Annsie says (not sure why she got downvoted). 2 things are wrong in that script: first, Turn 5, you wont be able to Bite most likely. secondly, when you bring your Baby Winston, use Primal Rage first, then spam Tesla Cannon until death; it will kill the 2nd pet and you will also hit the 3rd one (not sure, I don't remember if it did). The rest is as written on the script.

Tried using Primal Rage first on Baby Winston and worked first time (my Hoggs even died before using Bite)
