I found that the script didn't follow the instructions and used Standby if underground (first line of script) so I did a ~~small~~ rewrite

Edit: If you swap to your #1 pet round 6 you can finish in 7 rounds, an advantage to this is that you don't need the HP requirement anymore (Just needs to be above 276 speed and 1116HP), I've adjusted the script for that.
Edit2: Now without the need for HP you can use one with more power. If they are above 284 power (IE: Primal Stormling) you can skip the use of spark. Any power below this will still work just might have to use spark (The 716 value will need to be adjusted depending on your Call lightning value, if using 260 power it would be 714 instead)
--Both these I was getting around 7 rounds, 1minute: 5 seconds

Switched first pet to something more people have. Oddly enough, Echo of the Heights disappeared from the alternate list when I did.

Yeah it doesn't have the power BUT it can still work just would need to use Spark (You don't have to set the power level but it does save a few seconds).

So there is 2 alternatives that don't have the power but will still work (about 2-3 seconds slower) as you will likely have to use Spark round 4; Echo of the Heights and H/S Tiny Twister (edited)

this does not work at all. Turn 4 should be completely scrapped. Level pet doesn't work when you have 2 level 25's waiting as backline pets either. (edited)

'Does not work at all' is a statement that does not help at all.
Where does it not work?
Did Armageddon fail due to a Burrow crit?
The strat has a 2-4% failure rate, did you try more than once?
If turn 4 is scrapped what do you replace it with? (if skipped, the elemental will take more damage and the strat fails)
The level pet is introduced and rotated out in a round that is not the first turn, therefore it will get experience if you win.

Thanks for the feedback and please, help me help you.

@RandomGuy, I ran this strat a few times over the last few days. I had 1 failure and that was due 2 crits on TMD one being a near max hit burrow but most of the time it worked well.

The whole point of pass turning 4 is to allow your TMD to take extra damage and prevent your elemental pet taking more. In order for that to work you would need to run a higher HP elemental with less damage. Meaning it would take more rounds and open you different albeit small failure changes.

When giving feedback it is always suggest to say what went wrong, if your not sure what went wrong say that. Kalagren has made many strats and giving up countless hours of his life to make quick strats for everyone for free, so please show a little appreciation and when you believe an experienced strat makers has made a mistake, stop, step back and look inwards first.
Even when someone is new it's best to give constructive feedback as it helps when learning and to improve strats. We are all here for our enjoyment of pet battles so let's try to show everyone respect :) (edited)

I dont bother with the pass, I use Spark every time on turn 4. I do 22 toons a day on WQs and not once did it fail this way as I did use Pass the first time and then I think I messed it up so it failed. So I changed to using Spark and all toons won the WQ this way, ty for strat :)

wrote on 2024-02-22 03:15:48

So the ability to pass is dependent on the power of the #1 pet, I use a Primal Stormling and it has enough damage that I don't have use Spark but if you used a Tiny Twister it might not have the power, you'll have to use Spark.

~~Now I am not sure if that has an effect on the what happens with Lightning crit on the #1 enemy pet (Maybe lower power has the ability to NOT kill with a crit)~~ It would take a power level of 325 to cause a round 1 crit issue. (edited)

Experimenting with bringing Zephyrian Prince in on Turn 6 should Armageddon fail to be cast. Using Wind Buffet to insure Enemy Pet 2 is brought in to be stunned. Wild Winds would finish the Spider on Turn 7 and another Wild Winds would finish the Bat on Turn 8. Turn 9 would finally see the level pet and eat a Blinding Poison back to the elemental pet on Turn 10 with a Call Lightning finish on Turn 11.

Reading the script,
The fight would go:
1 Call Lighting and bring
2 TMD in
3 Time Bomb
4 Pass (Spark - enemy health dependent)
5 Armageddon and bring in level pet
6 Swap to Elemental
7 Call Lightning.

The testing was very incomplete being a one and done quest. By the time I had it whittled to 9 turns, it was late and I was out of toons for testing. (Not too different from today's Durian strat).

Thank you for all of the work, updated all. (edited)

Yeah I tested on 5 toons after I made the chagnes so the only way to lose is getting TMD in mech fail safe a round early.
