Doesn't seem to work now. Chrominus dies before Surge of Power. I tried dropping Bite, but still failed.

Now that the swarm move increases with damage the final 2 rounds will do extra damage so yeah this will no longer work

My Untamed Hatchling was lvl 22 and still worked first try.

Substituted H/H Ironbound Proto-Whelp in for Untamed Hatchling, worked fine!

I substituted the Untamed Hatchling with Discarded Experiment and used Breath instead of Tail Sweep. Worked perfectly.

I also switched in an Ironbound Prot-Whelp H/B as my Discarded Experiment wasn't max level. Took 2 tries but it worked great.

Seems like anything with spiked skin lives long enough as a sub for Untamed Hatchling

Carolina wrote on 2018-05-24 22:43:37

Just finished this with Emmigosa (2, 1, 1), Stormborne Whelping (1, 1, 1) and Chrominius (1, 1, 2).

Pass so Chrominius comes out.
Bite
Howl
Surge of Power
Chrominius will die

The whelpling comes out.
Call Lightning
Thunderbolt
The whelpling will die

Emmigosa comes out and Surge of Power should finish him off.

Couldn't get the Untamed Hatchling to reliably survive two hits for the kill at the end. Went with Onyxian Whelping with Tail Sweep and that worked better.

EyeSage wrote on 2017-09-10 20:54:07

Yes the highest health dragon with a tail sweep is a good idea.

Astie#2283

wrote on 2018-08-11 10:45:59

Up on this, I used a wild jade hatchling, one tail sweep and ended with call lightning.

Kayllisti wrote on 2017-09-13 13:49:31

Draconic Destruction

This combo worked for me:

Albino Chimaeraling (Shadowflame, Call Darkness, Deep Breath)

Ageless Bronze Drake (Devastate, Breath, Time Stop)

Emerald Proto-Whelp (Breath, Emerald Presence, Proto-Strike)

Use Devastate and Proto-Strike to avoid the swap. Use Emerald Presence to avoid Bucky's stampede. Good luck!

Can you please comment exactly what you did turn by turn for this strat please

Shunai wrote on 2017-09-15 14:28:09

Modified strat to try and remove some of the RNG. All three pets only have one breed, removing that from the equation. They are also all easily obtainable, none are rare. I tested this multiple times and it NEVER failed. The posted strategy failed every time for me.

Lil'Tarecgosa (X-1-1)
Chrominius (1-1-2)
Emmigosa (X-1-1)

Start with Lil'Tarecgosa (her high health allows her to live at the end of the fight)
1-Pass
Chrominius is swapped in (same strat as posted)
2-Bite
3-Howl
4-Surge of Power
5-Chrominius dies
Emmigosa comes in (used her as she has more power than any of the Nexus Whelpling breeds and always received the dragonkin buff for bringing Bucky below 50%)
6-Arcane Storm
7-Surge of Power
8-Emmigosa dies
Lil' Tarecgosa comes back in
9-Arcane Storm
10-Surge of Power

Thanks so much! This worked perfectly on the first try :)

Tigra wrote on 2017-09-22 23:48:24

This alternative strat worked perfectly for me. I didn't have Emmigosa so I subbed in Nexus Whelpling instead. Same move setup.

I didn't have a Lvl 25 Untamed Hatchling, but I did have a Lvl 25 Wild Jade Hatchling with Tail Sweep / Lightning Storm / Lift-Off. The Wild Jade Hatchling needs to be the FIRST pet so it can be the last pet up. Just do 1 Lift-off to avoid the second stampede and finish with Lightning Storm.

I used 2 H/H Chrominus and 1 P/B Nexus Whelpling. More than one is Chromini, right? :-)
Same as your first strat. But the last one swapped in was a Chromini. I howled and then surge of power. Baa da bing!

Daedrynn wrote on 2017-09-15 03:09:14

This works, but you need Breath first, and then Surge of Power, otherwise the enemy has 20 hp left and will kill you while you're in your recovery rounds.
