Changes made:

1. Shattered Defenses pet changed from Coastal Scuttler with Stampede to anything with Swarm faster than Shadeflicker and with more health than the Mongoose Pup.

2. Health and speed values added to make sure everything is switched in properly and are faster than Shadeflicker.

Strategy is wrong for SL pre-patch. At the end, when your Hermit Crab comes in, a single Pinch won't cut it. Your crab is dead after that pinch. You need to Bubble instead, then get in 2 pinches, bring your Mongoose back in, and then a single attack will finish it off. (edited)

This! Although it took me another Gnaw and then Dive. Thank you!

This worked for me in 9.0 but when the Hermit Crab came in at the end I needed to Bubble, Pinch, Pinch, Gnaw to get the kill

Also in case it's necessary I was using a SS Hermit Crab, BB Coastal Scuttler and a PS Mongoose

McFisted wrote on 2020-10-08 00:38:06

This works nice for now (SL they are gimping hermit crab. I didnt have a S/P mongoose type. So got an Eternal Strider and just Water Jet Pass WaterJet and did the same thing

I subbed in a P/S mongoose for my 3rd pet and it worked great didn't even need that last Hermit Crab pinch.

Worked perfectly for me the first time. My Coastal Scuttler was H/B.

This strat did not work for me with the prescribed pets so I decided to use the second alt strat. Went to Naj, got a second S/S Chitterspine and annihilated Shadeflicker. Use strat 2, save yourself the headaches.

Not sure what all the hate is on this strat. Worked fine for me on the 2nd try, which was far more effective than any other strat I could find that didn't require the gulp frog. Thanks for the help on this!

wrote on 2019-12-28 19:28:27

Yup, worked for me on the first try. SS Hermit, HB Scuttler and a SS Mongoose. No issues.

Do the world a favor and list this as heavily RNG dependent.

#Headache

umbrial wrote on 2019-08-31 11:03:00

Would've been more informative to list the fact that this is dependent on damage dealt during Turn 5-7.

If Stampede only gets off twice, it's a guaranteed loss.

This strategy is an absolute joke.

wrote on 2019-04-05 17:26:11

Strat states that Golden Civet needs to be faster than 328, but blue SS is only 325. Not sure if this was a mistake, or if I'm missing something, but I couldn't get this to work.

Just leveled up a SS Mongoose & this strat worked perfectly the first time.

Mongoose PS instead of Golden Civet works too.
