An Octopode Fry in slot one can almost solo this! Just tried this strategy but didn't have the recommended, so winged it. Works great!

There are several people who investigate reports of problems with strategies on Xu-Fu's. There are designated Strategy Curators, and other regulars who read comments and are interested in the latest.

In my experience, when people leave a short "It didn't work" note, they usually made a mistake. Maybe they used a pet with the wrong Speed, maybe they didn't do a Pass where it was indicated, sometimes they were even using the team and strat from a completely different battle. :)

Sometimes there genuinely is a problem with the strat. This is where the Curators and others come in, checking the strat for weaknesses, and fixing it or removing it if it can't be fixed.

Since most failure reports with no details are wrong, it's not good to waste people's time investigating them. Instead, help them by providing the information they need.

If the strat failed for you, and you want your comment to be taken seriously:

1. Specify EXACTLY which species and breeds you used.

2. Specify whether you read the strategy from the site and executed it manually, or downloaded and used the tdScript.

3. Specify EXACTLY where the first unexpected thing happened, the first thing that deviated from what the strat predicts. What died too early? What didn't die when it was supposed to? What attack missed?

4. If possible, provide a log. You can see your log in the Pet Battle tab of your chat box. You can pull that out, make it bigger, screenshot it. Better still, you can use the addon Battle Pet Log Keeper from Curseforge, and do /pblk and Save Battle when the battle you want to log is complete.

just "solo'd" it with a moonshell crab (p/p). shell shield > renewing mists > water jet, up until you get chickenbot to 345 hp, then you prioritize water jet, vs chicken. an emperor crab would likely work just as well, using surge instead of water jet.

Worked great with Shadowlands! My P/P Bleeder was able to solo the encounter, dying at the same time as the final enemy. (Little sad listening to its pitiful squeaks with every bit of damage it takes though, aww lol)

Bleeder and Gold DH didn't make it - both backline pets mech - poor 3rd choice by me

Solo'd the 2nd try with Leviathan Hatchling on all pets - no need for 2nd or 3rd

I didn't have the glutted bleeder, so I searched for whatever I had with Toxic Skin. I had a Boghopper from Nazmir instead, and I gave that a try. The opponent had two mechs as backup, and with Toxic Skin, Frog Kiss (landing one polymorph) and Creeping Ooze, the frog almost solo'd the entire battle, leaving just one last turn for another pet.

TC wrote on 2020-07-12 07:42:13

Most these fights I used a little ragnaros and the puppy that burrows puppies with flames. And something that stampedes for extra damage. 2 of these stages the puppy nearly solos everything. Last boss I used a low life pet with stampede to die and bring in lightning shield. Unborne call is good too. Doom then sac. Bring in a stampede pet and works well for many fights.

I used the script for this, and it failed miserably. My last level 25 pet had to take the last bit of health from the second pet and of course couldn't solo the last enemy pet because it's a random trash pet. It's the most upvoted though :/

wrote on 2019-11-03 14:29:27

Thank you for your feedback. I'll take a look at the fight on my next Gnomer run, and find a suitable slot #3 pet or family :)

Had this fail miserably for me. Gutted Bleeder was working out great, dead by opponent's 2nd pet. Golden Dragonhawk couldn't beat it, 3rd random pet chosen was beast type.

Lol, I was able to do this with a grey 23 glutted bleeder. Though later I found you can also use Dream Whelpling which does pretty good as well.

This fight gave me an appreciation for Glutted Bleeder. I love my little blisterbug now after it nearly soloed this fight (2 mech enemies)

Slippy works great in slot 1 with toxic skin and tentacle slap

wrote on 2018-12-20 13:40:49

This is a great suggestion, I don't have Slippy but Octopode Fry has the same moves and tentacle slap's bonus damage vs elemental really helps to clear the first pet fast.

Burrow for the 3rd ability on the Glutted Bleeder works good on the cockroach.

Silvur wrote on 2018-12-18 02:57:35

My Glutted Bleeder wasn't leveled so I used Bufo with Water Jet, Toxic Skin and Swarm. The debuff from Swarm was a nice bonus for the mechs and water jet was great for first pet.

Balder wrote on 2018-12-15 00:57:28

Boghopper (1, 1, 1) works well too. I was able to solo all 3 pets and still finished above half HP. I kept toxic skin and creeping ooze active and used steam vent as a filler.
