	sistercoyote	From Xan of The Dragonhawk Knights on Youtube. If Zao, Calfling of Niuzao gets a crit on the wolf before it bites, skip the bite and go directly to Howl. I like to start with Zao and Xu-Fu because they've been the toughest fights for me; other folks like to start with Chi-Chi. Any fox or wolf pet with Dazzling Dance + Howl will work for this strategy.

Not every strategy can be bullet proof. This is one of them. You might have to restart it, since there are some random elements that increase the risk of your pets failing. Don't blame them, please!

TCG

This strategy is using pets obtainable from the Wow Trading Card Game (TCG) or the auction house for potentially high sums of gold.

Shop

This strategy is using pets obtainable only from the WoW In-Game Shop for Battle.net Balance or real money.

Level 25+

You can use this strategy to carry a low level pet to give it experience.

Tricky

Some instructions are more difficult to follow than others. That's exactly what you might find in this strategy!

Script

The strategy offers a Script that can be used with the Pet Battle Script addon. You can copy the script by clicking on the button to the left of the pets.

Unobtainable

At least one pet in the strategy cannot be obtained anymore. If you have it, congrats!

1. I have added the RNG tag because a crit can throw off the Stormborne using Call Lightning. You might want to replace it with the Stormwing, which will be faster than Zao, and use Thunderbolt > Call Lightning > Swap

2. I have added a speed restriction to the Rabid Nut Varmint, since your roster indicates you have a S/S breed, and it can matter here to reduce RNG by being faster.

3. Because of Zao's elite buff passive, you might want to reapply Rabid Strike once the RNV goes into its mechanical round.

3. For alternative purposes, I have also put a speed restriction on pet 3.

	sistercoyote	From Xan of The Dragonhawk Knights on Youtube. If Zao, Calfling of Niuzao gets a crit on the wolf before it bites, skip the bite and go directly to Howl. I like to start with Zao and Xu-Fu because they've been the toughest fights for me; other folks like to start with Chi-Chi. Any fox or wolf pet with Dazzling Dance + Howl will work for this strategy. Likewise, any pet with Ion Cannon will work.		2	0.0	N/A	1	100 1:40	12

	DragonsAfterDark	You can probably end it on Turn 11 with the moth, but I'm erring on the side of caution because of the Boss buff, since we don't want Zao healing up. Video for Fight	Breed Script	2	0.0	N/A	0	86 1:26	13
