Substitutes:

1
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

You will want your chitterspine to be a higher speed than 298. I used the p/s in the end. I tried the s/s at first but then switch to the 299 speed. The hermit crab is was a b/b, and the ghostshell crab was an h/s. It took a few tries. It will take a few things to line up correctly, but it worked for me after awhile.

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

it is a straight up lie that this can be done with any breeds. 17 fails and not a single win, I gave up

Agree. 23 tries with S/B Chitterspine Skitterling. No luck.

I did 20 tries and I seemingly can't win with S/S Chitter & S/S Slimy Crab. I think this is extremely breed dependent and should be tagged as such.

Since OP has been gone for at least a year, I have added breed restrictions. Gráinne's comment below indicates that P/S for the Chitterspine will indeed work best, so I have restricted that slot accordingly. As for the Slimy pet, I went a little below the P/P threshold. If someone has a Slimy pet around 293 power and this worked for them in combination with the P/S Chitterspine, or not, please let me know so I can update/leave it as is accordingly.

Worked on the second attempt, survived with 17hp!

Gráinne

wrote on 2023-05-14 21:27:04

I checked this, and it worked perfectly first time for me.

I was using a P/S Chitterspine, P/P Slimy.

I'm inclined to think that you are right: the P/S will give you somewhat better chances than the S/S.

You could maybe improve the formatting of your instructions. They are quite clear, but people who use this site regularly will be used to a longer layout, like:

Turn 1 Black Claw
Turn 2 Swarm
(italics) Repeat Black Claw and Swarm until Chitterspine dies
(italics) Bring in your Slimy
Turn 1 Expunge
(italics) If your Slimy dies here, restart
(against Tempe) Use Ooze Touch until Tempe or Slimy dies
(against Dustie) Sewage Eruption
(italics) Bring in your Ghostshell Crab
Turn 1 Spirit Spikes

There definitely is some RNG in the battle. That's unavoidable. I suggest you add an RNG tag so people are not disappointed if it doesn't work for them first time,

All the Chitterspine breeds are faster than 297, so you can remove that note.

Thank you for the advice. It was my first post. I appreciate the feedback.

Well, for a first strat on a difficult Family battle, it's a good one. Now find some more! :)

Thanks for the submission!

In addition to the suggestions above, please use the BBCodes for referencing abilities or pets since that will automatically translate it for international users.

Your last two lines seem to repeat themselves: you ask to use Spirit Spikes twice.

I'd suggest to tell users to use Bubble in the end to avoid early death.

You request the last pet to have specific abilities in slot 1 and 2, but never use them. This prevents the site from automatically suggesting alternative pets for players who haven't collected your choice (there are no pets with the exact same moveset, but there are pets with the spikes).

Many users use scripts to speed up their battles. You can write a script yourself and add it to the strategy with the "TD" tab on the left side. Often, users suggest scripts that you can use (having it in a comment is okay, but having it in the TD tab makes it visible in the strategy list). I have provided a script you can copy in a sibling comment.

Also, as you noted the speed of your pets is important. You can add a requirement for the pets in the pet selection screen. Users will be told that their pet likely will not win, but they can try if they want to. It does make it easier to see whether you can use a strategy though. (edited)

Hmm. Well, Chitterspine managed to kill Swoggy and Tempe. Then Dustie came in and killed my entire team.

A little advice for those who weren't as lucky as Gráinne ;)

If Tempe uses Heat Up on their Round 1: Restart. Otherwise, you need two Swarm hits to get Tempe 'down half way' sans crits.

If Dustie kills your slimy pet in slot 2 before it can use Sewage Eruption, restart OR hope Dustie uses 3 Slicing Wind hits on your Ghostshell's Spirit Spikes.

If Dustie only hits your Spirit Spikes once, you'll probably need to restart no matter what. If they only hit it twice and you didn't get to Sewage Eruption, same story.

15+ tries, even ignoring the above advice just in case I was lucky for pet 2 & 3 RNG, and no joy. Rounds and time are an estimation.
