dumbomb	Variant of WhyDaRumGone's Retch Elemental strategy to suit the forced swaps. Fairly RNG-lite considering the alternatives, though it's still susceptible to crits. You should only need to reset if Void Gate/Predatory Strike casts crits during turns 1-4, or if Gloamwing gets lucky on turn 3 with triple winds or a crit with double winds. Wildfire would be preferred due to its larger health pool but two Corrupted Bloods work fine and are easier to obtain. There is technically a health requirement for the exploders but neither Blood nor Wildfire reach them, so until Blizzard adds a beefy elemental exploder I've left it blank.	RNG Script	2	5.0	N/A	0	65 1:05	7
Empy3	OP has been gone for an 'Unknown' amount of time, so the strategy has been updated in their absence. Using a different Explode pet, Wildfire, gives us an extra DoT. Using Blazehound instead of Molten Corgi since it's an unavailable pet. RNG is still present.	Breed RNG	2	0.0	N/A	0	90 1:30	11

RNG meant took a couple, but best strat I've tried yet. Ominous flame had 75hp left lol Usually he dies, lucky he didn't cos my snowman died at the end.. the bleeds killed him as he died.

Ryuuken wrote on 2017-09-16 00:24:27

First try I followed exactly and Gloamwing wound up with 15 health left.
Second time I used Magic Hat after Deep Freeze, and then Blizzard so Scorched could get an extra hit. I think Gloam had about 170 something health, but Blizzard crit. Not sure if it would have succeeded.

Kerrchak wrote on 2017-09-19 02:15:49

I actually ended up using Blizzard BEFORE Deep Freeze to guarantee the Stun to go off and it worked out even better than all my other previous attempts. Even the ones where I tried to use double Magic Hat.

Call Blizzard ended up pushing Gloamwing below 50% which allowed my Deep Freeze to go first. This means you get an extra turn of all your dots ticking damage which is much, much better than just one extra turn of Scorched Earth ticking damage.

This worked for me. I would change the wording of the instructions on turn 5. Your Stout Alemental isn't forced in. You pass on the Water Spirit and it dies, then you select your Alemental, who uses Dive on turn 6 while Gloamwing is stunned.

This strategy does work. It is very RNG dependent, but no way as bad as Aquatics (or even Critters). Possible within ten repetitions YMMV.

Anonymous wrote on 2017-09-07 13:37:37

another strat: (since i didn't have Ominous Flame, Water Spirit or Alemental). I used Fetid Waveling with Ooze Touch, Corrosion and Healing Wave, Crazy Carrot with Jab and Blistering Cold, and Magma Rageling with Flamethrower, Flame Jet and Magma Trap.
Strat with Fetid Waveling > Pass, get swapped to Crazy Carrot. Throw up Blistering Cold, then Jab, then Crazy Carrot needs to die to Gloamwing's swap ability. Magma Rageling comes in, use Magma Trap, then Flame Jet, and if you're lucky, Flame Thrower. Magma Rage needs to die to swap ability, then Fetid Waveling comes in. The order here depends on when the Stun from Magma Trap goes off. For me, it ALWAYS went off during 1st or 2nd turn of Fetid Waveling being in. This is just obnoxious rng and we do what we have to. At any rate, I put Corrosion on him, then if he gets stunned, I heal then Ooze touch twice. If he didnt get stunned after I applied Corrosion then I Ooze Touch him, and hope for the stun, then heal and Ooze Touch again for win. It's a super RNG fight no matter what you do, this is just an alt strat for those that don't have the pets listed above.

Ended up getting Snowman 2/1/2, B/B Tainted Waveling 1/2/x and Magma Rageling 1/1/2 to work with RNG. You need to chain stun in the final stages to double up with Magic Hats.

Corrosion>Ooze Touch>Waveling dies
Magma Trap>Flame Jet>Rageling dies
Call Blizzard>Magic Hat>Deep Freeze>Magic Hat

@Ziv, yeah, it seemed sketchy at first, but I had the same outcome 3 out of 4 times (exactly 37 hp), so I figured it was worth suggesting. Occasionally Gloamwing will get that lucky third Slicing Wind off and you'll have to start over :-(

Castratia wrote on 2017-09-06 16:27:53

How does this work? Even when my Water Spirit gets that dive in, my Corehound is killed before he can dive. Every. Single. Time. Is there a substitute for the Corehound that can survive long enough to finish this b*st*rd off?

Castratia wrote on 2017-09-06 16:53:24

Okay. After wiping multiple times on this rotation (as above), I tried Scratch instead of Burrow. Killed him. Not sure if it was due to RNG, but thought it might be worth mentioning.

Tatahe wrote on 2017-09-06 18:30:50

This is really RNG. First you need to avoid getting 3x hit by Slicing Wind at all. Second you need to avoid all crits and last, you need to roll above average on last turn... I failed this with a Gloamwing 1 HP on last turn. Was really painful FeelsBadMan

Rifkin wrote on 2017-09-07 08:17:29

haha thanks for the idea Castratia, but I thought I might as well push my luck further and try burn since it has the possibility of doing more damage - core hound came in at the end howled and burn hit for 632 :D

Very true, any crit or triple hit will end this fight. Given strat does works but be prepared to make multiple attempts (5 for me)

Shashos wrote on 2017-09-06 22:25:45

I give up on this one. Even if my Alemental only gets hit by one Slice, the Corehound does not do enough damage to finish him off. The amount of RNG on Gloomwing is awful.

Mit ein wenig Stun-Glück funktioniert diese Taktik:

Fauliger Wogling, Ominöse Flamme, Mini Ragnaros:

1.Passen (Flamme kommt)
2. Verbrannte Erde
3. Fluch der Vorahnung (Raggi kommt)
4. Söhne der Flamme
5. Magmafalle (Raggi stirbt)
6. Schleimberührung
7. Schleimberührung (hier kam der Stun)
8. mit Schleimberührung finishen
