Here's an alternative strategy for those that don't have Sister or KunLai.
I used Anubisath Idol with Deflection and Demolish (more RNG, i know), Squirky with Fish Slap, Stampede and Bubble, and Curious Wolvar Pup with Bite, Snap Trap and Maul. Like every fight on Argus, there's RNG involved, but after testing this strat 10 times and failing only twice, this is the best I've seen.
Start with Squirky. He gets swapped into Anubisath. Use Demolish, then deflect his big Pounce hit, then Demolish again (one Demolish needs to hit here or start over). Anubisath gets swapped into Wolvar Pup. Use Snap Trap and then Maul, he gets swapped into Squirky. Use Bubble then Stampede. Snap Trap should go off sometime during Squirky being out, and that's all we need. When Stampede is over, hit him with Fish Slap, and another Fish Slap if needed.

1 out of 5 succes for me, because of snap trap hitting too early and/or demolish missing too often. But hey, it worked! (only thing on this page so far that did without the right breed of KLR) :) Suggestion: do maul first, before snap trap. Reduces the chance of it hitting early.

I did this work with a P/P Kun-Lai Runt. Just changed the turn 4 for a Thrash, the turn 9 for a Shadow Shock and the Turn 12 for a Deep Freeze. Maybe not consistent if your Shadow Shocks roll low but worked for me first try.

With H/B Sister and P/B Runt, this strat (and Tatahe's variation) fails each time (7+ attempts). Runt dies Turn 13 before getting off an attack every time.

This is exactly what I'm seeing. Strat has no chance to work without a P/B or maybe B/B Sister

Tsoonami wrote on 2017-09-06 02:56:18

I didn't have the Rotten Little Helper or the correct breed of Kun-Lai Runt so I tried an alternative strategy with my favorite little murloc pairing Terky and Squirky. Fight went like this:

Terky starts. Pass.
Squirky forced in.
Bubble.
Stampede.
Fish Slap.
Kunlai Runt comes in.
Frost Shock.
Deep Freeze.
Thrash. Terky forced in.
Acid Touch. Terky dies.
Kun Lai Runt comes in.
Frost Shock.
Deep Freeze.
Thrash.

Worked 3/4 times in testing.

It worked perfect the first try though I altered it to use Deep Freeze before Frost in the end due to Kun-Lai's health. Decided to then try again and not swap those two around. Either way worked great, so I've added your strategy to the list of alternatives.
Thank you.

I guess my Kun-Lai wasn't the right breed for the above strat, tried several times with no success. I switched in Squirky (2,,2,2) in the place of sister. When he got forced in, used bubble and fish slap to finish him off. When Kun-Lai goes in the second time, frost shock and trample

I used Baby Winston (1,1,1) in place of Sister. Everything is the same with turn 4 being a Thrash, when Winston is swapped in Primal Rage, Tesla Cannon, Barrior Projector. I did this a few times and had some bad rng but it worked most of them. Good luck
