Tried ~10 times and got 70ish% success rate despite my Inland Croaker being Uncommon (green), although there is still a possibility of terrible RNG because of Sandstorm giving you a 10% chance of missing, unfortunately I can't think of a way to mitigate that at the minute. Missing against Anubisath Idol is almost a guaranteed reset as they'll have time to use a second Sandstorm, however they could miss too and end up in a winnable but slightly different scenario.

If Hermit Crab dies at the same time as Anubisath Idol because both you and it missedsimply use Ice Lance to break Decoy and then proceed as normal with Call Blizzard. Your
Chitterspine Skitterling will probably end up taking extra damage as everything will be slightly out of sync but it should be fine, mine survived this scenario despite being an SS breed.

I have not tested with alternate pets but others with similar spells should do fine in theory, the most important being quicker than Anubisath Idol.I didn't make a TD Script for this, as I would suggest against doing this fight repeatedly with a Water-only team and because Sandstorm can, in case of bad RNG cause some fluctuations, still perfectly winnable most of the time but will require thinking on the go as explained above.

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

-----

use(Schneesturm herbeirufen:206) [!weather(Schneesturm:205)]

Don't pass on round 1, use whirlpool. The deflect does not stop it since the ability does not target the idol

I tried this one repeatedly, and even using this helpful tip, I still couldn't win. My pets were all blue, level 25s.

I second this recommendation. Even with a miss from Whirlpool because of Sandstorm, I never even brought in my Chitterspine Skitterling.

Thanks for that suggestion. It worked for me where the strat as written did not.

wrote on 2023-03-21 22:16:49

not using whirlpool in turn 1 makes no sense, in fact it's the perfect opportunity to do it since the anubisath it's inmune but will take damage by the time it procs.

I tried following this strat 5 times and the only time it worked was when i casted whirlpool on my first turn. (edited)

S/S Hermit Crab, P/P Inland Croaker, S/S Chitterspine -- All blue quality. Barely did this. Chitterspine had 39 HP at the end and I had to deviate from the script pretty hard once Anub killed my crab.
