Followed this exactly as written and it worked nicely. Used another Infernal Pyroclaw and Abyssius as my level 1 pets.

Works nicely, def gotta get the crab dead before he comes out. His heal is OP and that claw damage is nasty.

S/B Pyreclaw worked, fun strat but the XP nerf means it's not worth it now :(

Velk is right. Horrible horrible strat if you have a S/B

Drach wrote on 2019-01-13 18:13:31

I did the strat with an S/B and had no issues...but was lucky with a couple of crits - so lucky that the IP and two of three enemies died at same time, leaving my 2 level pets getting all the xp - a whopping 62 xp each

Anon wrote on 2018-12-14 10:20:07

Unfortunately, it looks like Blizzard has nerfed the XP you get from doing all of the WQ pet battles in BfA, so these strats for leveling are now pointless. I'm glad I got a chance to boost some pets before they decided not to let us do it anymore...

wrote on 2018-12-26 03:12:14

Yep, they could keep the bonus xp at least when doing the WQ.

Velk

wrote on 2018-09-10 20:55:36

S/B pyreclaw died repeatedly - all it takes is one crit from clubber or one low damage cleave. I'd suggest changing the required breeds, because the RNG is far too high to count as reliable for S/B

wrote on 2018-09-11 19:03:57

Done! I've added in the description that can be done with a SB but gets unreliable.

Donin

wrote on 2018-11-05 23:44:01

i have yet to lose with my s/b. i do use a 3rd sting every time though. i can see where a crit would be an issue though.

Minet

wrote on 2018-11-07 13:57:27

I've had good luck with my S/B when I use Adrenaline Rush when Clubber loses the flying racial. Going first the last couple of times really evens it out.

wrote on 2018-11-16 08:50:53

Uh, good idea! Going to test it ASAP!

Pureheart wrote on 2018-11-17 11:09:40

It was close, but my S/B got it done. I did throw in two flame breaths, first one just after first Great Sting, to have four rounds of continuous damage, and again after second Great Sting then cleaved to the finish.

Meiku wrote on 2018-12-05 23:14:00

S/B is just added RNG, I have good luck and my S/B Pyreclaw dies as the poison kills the bird and turtle (the crab is already dead usually.)

Mot

wrote on 2018-11-17 21:31:44

Very close (62HP remaining on my P/B Pyreclaw), but also very nice!

Gráinne

wrote on 2018-11-07 03:25:47

I love this strat! I'm a sucker for cheeky AoE strats, like Aranesh's Lava Crab for Aki or Jere's Emperor/Chrominius for Wastewalker Shu. Well done!

So elegant. So hilarious. Great work!

Urszula wrote on 2018-09-19 14:48:54

This strat with 2 level pets works aswell with the Nether Faerie Dragon with Arcane Blast, Life Exchange and Cyclone. I combined this strat with the one from Clarx (alternative number 4 with the Sprite Darter Hatchling, the Nether Fearie Dragon is the alternative pet for the Sprite Darter Hatchling)

myotismon wrote on 2018-09-18 15:31:41

just done this with rebellious imp tho it was a bug used portal on 1st turn imp became stuck with portal debuff swapped it back in killed all 3 pets and took no damage

Hilariously awesome strat

Lvl24 P/B Infernal Pyreclaw did it with 99 HP remaining!

Aww man that fight was hilarious!!! Finished levelling up one of my level 24 pets and took a fresh pet from 1 to 7. Very nice.

jdf#1850

wrote on 2018-08-26 08:40:43

this strategy worked overall but Clubber always brought in my infernal pyreclaw no matter what order i had my pets arranged in. So only one of my level pets got in the match. Otherwise Pyreclaw killed everything and survived.

wrote on 2018-08-27 01:08:07

It happens if the second leveling pet has more HP than the Pyreclaw, I've added a note about it!

Lazey

wrote on 2018-09-01 04:59:15

You could add the HP<1465 to the 2nd level pet in your team, the generated Rematch string imported to your game should exclude high HP level pets then.

Thordros#1784

wrote on 2018-08-25 21:21:54

Just to confirm, this also worked perfectly with my H/B Pyreclaw—all three breeds are usable for this strategy. This is the TDS I wrote for it, since I didn't read the comments before I blew that snake's team up today!

standby [round=1]
change(#3)
ability(Great Sting:1966) [self.round<=6]
ability(Cleave:1273)

Rhaom

The Pyreclaw will die right at the end of this fight using this script but the poison tick will finish the fight and both your pets will gain exp :)

standby [round=1]
change(#3) [ self(#2).played & !self(#1).dead ]

if [enemy(Clubber:2355).active]
use(Great Sting:1966)
use(Cleave:1273)
endif

wrote on 2018-08-25 11:43:44

I've done it with a SB Pyreclaw and I've managed to kill everything without dying.
Maybe it depends on crits and breeds. Problem is I can't test it better until the WQ comes out again :(

Rhaom

wrote on 2018-08-25 12:23:20

It can be done without anything getting killed yeah, I just was just being really lazy with the script, it can be changed to only use Great Sting twice instead of a 3rd time but since the result is the same either way I didn't see the value in making the script longer :D

bei dem bisschen XP die es da gibt (Mit Hut ca 100 bei nem Level 2-Pet) stellt sich mir die Frage, warum 2 Pets leveln :)
