Don't worry about Ion Cannon and just Missile, Shock and Awe, and more Missile until Helios goes down

This definitely needs a RNG tag. Fails more times than succeeds I only win when Shock and Awe procs the stun

tried 3 times, the only time it worked was when the stun went off from shock & awe. otherwise leech life was doing a ton of damage and healing to get off ion cannon. i have used this before so idk what is different this time. i had a level 13 pet in the level slot and used it to finish off amythel. if i hadn't, any damage to the tonk would have likely made it a loss as well, IMO

Needs fixed.. I think. It shows D Tonk with * instead of 1 (Missile). The script might not be proc'ing right. The step-by-step worked though.. other than my Snarly died before he could do the second Rip + Blood on the 2nd enemy.

This was an annoying battle for Elekk Plushie. I had to do it 7-8 time before I could win. After the 5th loss, I changed the strategy a little: when the switch was made, I stayed with the Elekk until the crit buff from Amythel was gone (3 turns) then switched to Darkmoon Tonk. The first hit by Amythel was a low crit/no crit at all and I was manage to kill him while having more than 90% hp left on my Darkmoon Tonk.
Then, for Helios, it was a little bit RNG: I did the Shock and Awe then Ion Cannon, praying that he didn't heal.

Second try, Helios used a stampede type spell and did NOT heal, meaning Ion Cannon clobbered him for the win. Easy but RNG is a factor.

Used a kelp scuttler in place of snarly (1,2,2). Had to rip then blood in the water the first pet. Then use Shell Shield, 2 rips, another blood in the water and one last gasp of a rip on the second pet. That allows the tonk to use one missle to kill pet #2 and then the shock and awe and the ion cannon on pet 3.

Xarx wrote on 2019-01-30 22:03:44

This worked with a P/P scuttler but there was no last gasp rip, so I had to add a missile/shockawe/ioncannon for the last pet otherwise he just spiders me to death while I stand there stuck. But it did work on the 2nd try when I altered the last bit!

My Kelp Scuttler is P/P and that when he did Blood in the Water on the first pet, the first pet went from 3/4th to dead - non-crit (1131 damage). Making that bit shorter let me do some serious damage to the second pet before the Scuttler was knocked out.

Malachi wrote on 2019-01-12 05:30:18

I'd say this strategy works about 50% of the time (very RNG dependent). Typically Amythel gets a few crits on the Tonk and the Tonk is then killed by Helios.

This strategy should really be removed from the first listed. I wrote that it's successful about 25% of the time and, as I write this, I'm on my 4th attempt. The fact is that Helios either heals itself (so that the Ion Cannon doesn't work) or kills the Darkmoon Tonk way too often. It's too RNG dependent, You almost need to stun Helios to win.

It would help to note that after Helios comes in and you do the Shock and Awe move, Helios's health IS below 1050 but HE MAY HEAL UP in the next turn. So, although Ion Cannon would be the next move based on the health profile for Turn 2, you should missile or your Tonk might die.

Instructions call for Darkmoon Tonk to be 1,1,2 since it asks for Missile. I had Charge (2) selected and it did work.
