the order of the hits is important and any change will probably fail it..
Good luck!

Tiny Twister (2,2,2), H/P
Thundertail Flapper H/B (-,-,2) with less hp than Twister. could be any pet with Beaver Dam or similar ability.

A couple of notes:

1. The health restriction for the Tiny Twister is in case you're crit with Void Gate, then have to eat another Void Gate because the Tide Spirit is killed early and *that* Void Gate crits as well. The chances of that happening are very low, so you're free to slot whatever Call Lightning pet in slot 1 that you like. But for the purposes of creating an RNG-free strat, I have the health restriction.

2. The reason I use Stone Shot instead of Sandstorm or Rupture, which are bigger attacks, are for two reasons: Sandstorm can cause Mar'cuus to miss their Void Gate and throw off the strat, and if Rupture chain-stuns Mar'cuus it will cause the strat to be one round longer.

Substitutes:

Note: You have selected a substitute pet.
The strategy might fail if you use it with this pet instead of the one the strategy creator intended.

The substitute finder looks for these criteria in relation to the original pet:

Same family

Has the required skills

Has the required stats (if specified)

Ignores specific breed requirements for the main pet, as breeds can be very different for substitutes

1 / 2

Low XP

Breed

At least one of the pets for this strategy require the use of a specific breed.

RNG

Not every strategy can be bullet proof. This is one of them. You might have to restart it, since there are some random elements that increase the risk of your pets failing. Don't blame them, please!

TCG

This strategy is using pets obtainable from the Wow Trading Card Game (TCG) or the auction house for potentially high sums of gold.

Shop

This strategy is using pets obtainable only from the WoW In-Game Shop for Battle.net Balance or real money.

Level 25+

You can use this strategy to carry a low level pet to give it experience.

Tricky

Some instructions are more difficult to follow than others. That's exactly what you might find in this strategy!

Script

The strategy offers a Script that can be used with the Pet Battle Script addon. You can copy the script by clicking on the button to the left of the pets.

Unobtainable

At least one pet in the strategy cannot be obtained anymore. If you have it, congrats!

This did NOT work in 9.1 for me with the stock pets listed. At the very end he had 16 health left which leads two different attempts with no crits/misses on either side. This leads me to believe that my HS Tiny Bog Beast wasn't strong enough, meaning we probably need to flag this as Tiny Bog Beast (HP). If I am doing something wrong I am willing to retest and delete/amend this comment. The Autumnal Sproutling/Tiny Twister/Crazy Carrot strat worked first try for me (see alternatives)

If you have an H/H bog beast, you can engage a wild pet with 2 other pets that aren't in the team, then forfeit. Then put your geode and blood back in. The loss of hp should be just enough to die on turn 4.
