Leannis	Thanks to Lapz Gaming for this strat! Link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXfoRGOb4ms DragonsAfterDark: Strategy has been updated for SLs changes in OP's absence. Changes made: 1. Terky was swapped for Squirky for the use of Bubble. 2. Because Shattered Defenses was nerfed, a power restriction was added to the Kun-Lai 3. Scratch was selected for slot 1 for the Dandelion Frolicker, because it will need to finish the fight if there aren't substantial crits. 4. RNG is present for the Slime hit against Kun-Lai. 5. RNG is also present for the Void Gate critting on Squirky, meaning the pets won't be swapped in properly once the Kun-Lai dies	Breed RNG	2	0.0	N/A	0	76 1:16	11

Lith#11641	Modified version of Ken's strategy, because I didn't have a hopling. DragonsAfterDark: Strategy has been updated in OP's absence for SLs changes. The only change made was to use Squirky instead of Terky to be faster than CBoA, and for Bubble to avoid damage. RNG is for the Slime hit against the Harbinger of Flame	RNG	2	0.0	N/A	0	70 1:10	9

Brabo#2101	DragonsAfterDark: Strategy has been updated for SL's changes in OP's absence. Changes: 1. Rush added after testing Mclardy's suggestion below, which gives you Wild Magic overlap for both Shattered Defenses rounds. 2. Speed restriction added to Flayer Youngling to get all three Rampage hits. 3. RNG for any Slime hits.	Breed RNG	2	1.0	N/A	0	88 1:28	13

Needs a lot of RNG as SL pre patch, do not recommend.

Failed twice in SL pp. The first time the last pet died on the last move, with boss having a lot of hp. Second time the last pet lived long enough to get in an extra tongue lash, but still died with the boss at like 60 hp. So maybe this strat is still viable with good RNG, but I moved on to a different strat that worked first time.

the strat listed wasnt working for me, i succeeded with this: Hopling by the book, with Crush on second round, Sister of Temptation next with Curse of Doom then Agony, followed by Terky with Stampede.

Please take Feral Vermling off the list of acceptable variants for the Hopling. The Feral Vermling (289) is not fast enough to beat the Corrupted Blood of Argus (291) and this does not work for the rest of the strat. Hopling has 325 speed and the strat will only with that.

Just beat it today with P/S Fiendish Imp 1/1/*, S/S Flayer Youngling 1/2/1, and B/B Ore Eater 1/1/1. The breeds can probably be changed as long as they're faster than the Blood, but these are the ones I used.
Start with Imp and use Immolation, get swapped to Ore.
Use Shell, Body Slam, then Acid and you'll be swapped to Flayer.
Deflection, Kick, and Blitz and you're swapped back to Imp.
Burn x3 and you die to his Gate, bring in Flayer.
Deflection, Kick, Blitz, Ore gets brought in.
Body Slam and die to Slime, bringing Flayer back.
Deflect, Kick, then Blitz and he will die.

I've tried every strategy for this which is posted here (whether main article or comments) where I have the pets named. None of them work. No pet seems able to get off the first shot vs Blood, which, in turn, is one- and two-shotting everything. Anyone have an updated strategy, which does not require any TCG pet and/or ones locked behind a Darkmoon achievement I can't seem to get? This site, by the way, is only as useful as it is current and accurate.

Didn't have Terky and Harbinger didn't seem to do enough damage so I went with

Hopling
Kun-Lai Runt (p/p 2-2-2) and
Peddlefeet.

Started with Hopling just like in this strat plus Crush on second pass before he dies
Frost Shock > Deep Freeze > Takedown for Runt
Lovestruck and Shot Through The Heart with Peddlefeet - if he's not dead use Bow Shot to finish him off.

Also not working at all as of this date. Blood is immune to Lovestruck and one- or two-shots every pet.

Anon wrote on 2018-09-10 08:05:25

Tried this many times today, failing each time. Backflip does not get off first, so Blood's first attack is not interrupted. Blood one- or two-shots every pet in this strategy. Deprecate.

i found that after 10 failed tries that instead of doing Poision Lash at round 8 it was better to use Crush.

Redid the fight another 5 times and it seemed to work.

Didn't even have to bring in the Hopling a second time, and I swapped Terky for my higher speed Squirky to get in all 3 stampedes. Worked perfectly!

First try, Harbinger died before getting off Conflagrate & Hopling couldn't hold out quite long enough to finish the battle. Second try went exactly as described in the instructions. Thanks for the strategy & the great website.

I did not have a Hopling. Dandelion Frolicker 1,1,2 worked as a great substitute for me. Open with Dazzling Dance then Terky and Harbinger of Flame get their attacks in first. Easy clean up with a Scratch from the Frolicker to finish.

Your lil' bad wolf needs to be faster than corrupted blood of argus for this to work. Mine wasn't so can't verify it works at all.

Hopling died before the poison lash on R8. On the second try, he survived, but needed 2x Poison Lashes for the kill. Was close. Thanks!

Oh man... Wenn man die Humanoiden-Taktik von Schattenflimmer offen hat und es immer und immer wieder versucht und dann irgendwann in die Tischkante beißt.... Ja mehr brauch ich dazu nicht sagen.

Die Taktik funktioniert 1a. Perfekt. Gleich beim ersten Mal (nach den X Versuchen mit "Falschem Guide) geklappt ;-)
