Nether Faerie Dragon (-,2,-) - any breed.
Emmigosa (-,2,2)
Stormborne Whelpling (2,1,1)

1. Nether Faerie Dragon > pass.
2. Emmigosa is forced in, swap back to Nether Faerie Dragon.
3. Nether Faerie Dragon > Life Exchange > pass (pet dies).
4. Emmigosa > Wild Magic > Ice Tomb > pass (pet dies).
5. Stormborne Whelpling > Call Lightning > Thunderbolt > Frost Breath.

Worked with an SS Sprite Darter Hatchling in the last slot, but took two tries.

Thaïs wrote on 2018-04-14 17:47:51

Had to use Wild Golden Hatchling as he has higher base damage - original team died with Mar'cuus at 32 health. Also followed advice in one of the comments to switch order to Life Exchange > Moonfire

Silversun

wrote on 2018-01-21 10:10:14

Did not work for me until I realized I had a P/P Nether Faerie Dragen. Then swapped and used Life Exchange Before moonfire and it worked perfectly.

Khes

wrote on 2018-04-07 08:45:33

doesn't work for p/b, life exchange doesn't do enough damage and then neither does moonfire. the surge of power caps out and he's left with ~60 hp every time

have to do it normal and hope faerie dragon gets VERY lucky

Laeleiweyn wrote on 2017-09-19 16:15:22

Didn't have the right breed, so tried swapping Moonfire and Life Exchange, but was constantly 68 HP off from killing him with Surge of Power.

This strat from AeroKargath on Wowhead worked first try (https://www.wowhead.com/npc=128018/marcuus#comments:id=2520115):
Yu'la, Broodling of Yu'lon (P/S) X/X/2
Chrominius (Guardian) X/1/2
Stormborne Whelpling (P/S) X/1/1

1-Yu'la gets swapped to Chrominius
2-Swap back to Yu'la
3-Life Exchange
4-Yu'la dies (Passes to Chrominius)
5-Howl
6-Surge of Power
7-Chrom Dies (Passes to Stormborne Whelpling)
8-Thunderbolt
9-Call Lightning

Did not have Stormborne level'd so use Wild Golden Hatchling (1/1/2). Same as Laelei says until T8 used Call Lightning. T9 Liftoff.

Switched out Nether Faerie Dragon (only had a P/P with 1319hp) with a Sprite Darter Hatchling (S/S - 1400hp) and killed him. The sprite survived Turn 6 with 18hp so was able to cast life exchange and Chromi finished him off ... As long as Mar'cuus doesn't crit the Sprite Darter, you will win ....

Zanitta wrote on 2017-09-25 19:50:04

used the Sprite Darter (also had only 18HP left turn 6, got to use life exchange) and fight finished by Chromi as advertised :) thank you, work great first time...

Tigra wrote on 2017-12-24 20:26:09

Subbing Sprite Darter Hatchling (S/S) for the NFD worked for me, but with some RNG. On my first try with this combo my Sprite Darter Hatchling was pounced to death before it could get Life Exchange off. Second try he had 18 HP left to pull off the life exchange. It's a bit luck dependent.

Carrotboy

wrote on 2018-01-20 05:09:57

Esploratore wrote on 2017-10-26 01:11:05

I'm surprised no one mentioned this, but the twilight clutch sister which was previously suggested for shadeflicker is also awesome on this, I worked up this strategy myself: used a nether fearie dragon with 341 power and 260 speed, passed on first round, then sister did meteor and barrier, so that mar'cuus won't hit you with pounce, back to faerie, equalize just after barrier ends, which heals you and damages him by over 726, then I just kept damaging him, moonfire, died, he swapped sister in, again meteor and found out he was so low hp I could just finish him with fire (first ability), but even if he had been higher hp, could still use barrier, so again he wouldn't damage me with prowl and use yu'la which was my last pet which I didn't even need, so powerful the sister is, awesome pet!

Bierchen wrote on 2017-10-27 12:51:30

legen (wait for it) dary.

You, i like you.

Ananda wrote on 2017-10-30 09:06:54

This is great - my sister died after the last meteorite so no barrier, but he was down to 49 so Yula finished him off with breathe.

Modreyn wrote on 2017-09-28 18:55:19

This worked with an S/B Nether Faerie Dragon, he was brought to 2hp before Life Exchange, but living is living.

Anonymous wrote on 2017-10-01 19:50:23

ditto, had exactly 2 health left on my NFD S/B :D

i used Chrominius (X,1,2), 2 Nether Faerie Dragon (X,2,1)= chrominius pass, and puts in a Nether Faerie Dragon, moonfire and exchange life, puts in 2nd Nether Faerie Dragon. Moonfire and exchange life, then chrominus comes out howl and surge of power. works out if you dont get critted and killed before those attacks.

Anonymous wrote on 2017-09-19 10:54:48

didnt work for me with a p/p nether fairy (even with switching moonfire and life exchange like some sugested) switched it for a sprite darter and worked fine

kaf wrote on 2017-09-19 11:37:15

Thank you ! only had p/p fairy as well, worked first time with darter (s/s breed so only had 1400hp but had a few hp left)

Phoenix wrote on 2017-09-19 14:07:30

Switching out for the Sprite Darter (S/S) should leave you with about 18HP, so barring any unlucky crit this should be fine.

Escalus wrote on 2017-09-22 16:38:55

This worked, as they said unlucky crits on Mar'cuus part is a no go. Got it second try.

Corgi wrote on 2017-09-25 04:11:55

Add me to the Sprite Darter brigade - and I too had about 18 left before Life Exchange, so that worked just enough.
