1	Berendain	This strategy should be a lot more reliable than others I've tested. This has a small chance to fail if your Hermit Crab takes some critical hits and dies before Smokey does. If that does happen, you can restart the fight with another Hermit Crab, if you've got more than one Rare Hermit Crab. Alternatively, you can be sneaky and log out, log onto another character that has bandages on them and heal your pets before switching back. EDIT: Updated TD script to include ID numbers for the stun and root. (Thanks DaBear78 for pointing that out.) Shadowlands Update: Still works. I think the enemy pets have been nerfed, because my Hermit Crab actually survived one turn LONGER than it used to. It could Pinch Pyro once before dying, after it already using Shell Armour and Whirlpool. I edited the script to only swap to your skitterling if there is no Elementium Bolt active. S/B Skitterling is still best if you have it, to ensure it lives to turn three of the updated Swarm.	Script	2	4.8	57	139 2:19	18+

It does happen but you are best to give more info on why.

Mine just failed because I missed 5/9 swarms

Works, but like Raizagal said, you can fit a 2nd howl before Chrominius dies

It seems like the 2nd howl disappear for some reason after Chominius dies the debuff just goes away.

However in order to save some time, you might want to add those two lines at the start of the script :

standby [enemy.aura(Undead:242).exists]
use(Pounce:535) [enemy(#3).active]

*This is as per DF season 1.

The debuff goes away due to the scorched earth weather. Otherwise it could potentially save a round.

I just swap straight to my chitterspine though the downside to this is if you get really unlucky with misses you will lose

The first time I used this strategy, I didn't even need the Skitterling. I was able to put in one more Howl before Chrominius died which ultimately helped.
