	3ceph0los	Strategy has been updated for SLs changes. Changes Made: 1. Gulp Froglet replaced with the Archetype of Serenity to make use of First Croak + Swarm. 2. Left Shark replaced with Crimson Swoglet so we'll have Dazzling Dance and Frost Breath, which does strong damage against CBoA. 3. Gahz'rooki has remained the same, and for the same purpose.		2	0.0	N/A	0	70 1:10	10
	Barlenor	DragonsAfterDark: Strategy has been updated in OP's absence for SLs changes. Changes Made: 1. Spawn of G'nathus changed to an S/S Skittering Eel. Same moves, but faster than CBoA 2. Tideskipper's Crush was swapped for Body Slam, since we don't need him to survive, and this will do more damage than Crush. 3. Gulp Froglet changed to Fleeting Frog. Same move (Swarm) but the FF is faster and will leave CBoA with 2 rounds of Shattered Defenses instead of 1, so both the Thunderbolt & Jolt will hit with it on.	Breed	2	0.0	N/A	0	63 1:03	9

Strategy didn't work for me (B/B Gulp Froglet, B/B Left Shark, P/S Ghaz'rooki). Ghaz always dies 1-2 turns too early.

Fast fight! Coastal Scuttler pass, Hydraling call lightning, shell shield, Chitterspine Skittering Black Claw then swarm.

Genius, was about to give up on these strategies since i never had all the pets. Note to self, remember to check the comments for strategies before leveling all kind of different pets.

VERY nice strat, Lobombre! Worth keeping!

I have formalised it here:
https://wow-petguide.com/?Strategy=6870

In my first try, it didn't work, because my Scuttler was H/H, and had more health than the Skitterling even after taking the first damage, and so was swapped in again, but really that first pet doesn't do anything but take the hit, so I suggest that you can use anything, as long as it will be lower health than the Skitterling after the hit.

Those fights without gulp froglet are pretty complicated, I managed to beat it with this combination:

Aqua strider (fast breed) 2, x,2
Hydraling 2,1,2
Coralback fiddler (fast breed) 1,2,1

Aqua strider;
Poison Spit
Hydraling comes in;
Call lighting
Shell Armor
Coralback comes in;
Rip
Shell Shield
Dive
Ripx2-3
Coralback dies, Aqua strider comes in:
Poison Spit
Pump

Aqua strider dies, Hydraling comes in:
Call lighting

Railgun is correct on the Hydraling. Perfect strategy otherwise!

This doesn't work at all for me. On Rd 2 he hits my left shark for 1192, and on Rd 3 he kills my shark with slicing wind before he gets off dazzling dance. I tried it several times - has this strategy been nerfed?

With BfA Pets, you can replace Gulp Froglet with either Coastal Scuttler (mine was H/H) *1* or Elusive Skimmer (*2*). I just tried this with a P/S Elusive Skimmer, and my Gahz'rooki still had more health than it did, so the Skimmer might not be viable, but at least the H/H Scuttler worked!

Here a strat that works
Gulp Frog x.x.2
Leviathan Hatchling x.2.2
Gahz'rooki 1.1.2

Pass, LH get thrown in, Poison Spit, Primal Cry, Poison Spit, Gahz thrown in. Geyser,
Health lower than GF? , yes, Switch to LH. Cry again, GF comes in and swarm, Gah comes in and bite the hell out of the dam thing.

I found a new combo that seems to work:
Elusive Skimmer (1,2,1) (must have 292+ speed)
Snarly (1,1,2)
Gahz'rooki (1,1,2)

Elusive Skimmer comes out
Stampede
Snarly comes in
Rip
Blood in the Water
Surge
Gahz'rooki comes in
Geyser
Swap to Elusive Skimmer
Stampede
Gahz'rooki comes in
Bite

My Ghazrooki was swapped in before shark so instead of the second pass round I just switched to shark and followed strat as writen after that, but like others took a second bite but at least he died without any rng

How the heck is this one supposed to work? Swarm hits for like 0 damage that one life siphon and its all healed, gyser stuns once, all the swaps and passes, he ends up with over 700 health left when he hits my Ghazrooki with a second gate, killing it. Theres no way.
