Tricky

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

This failed for me several times in a row. What fixed it for me was taking Shell Armor on the first Skitterling. When it's forced in use Skitter, Shell Armor, Swarm. Follow the rest of the strat as follows. Then when your frog dies and your Skitterling 1 comes back in, Shell Armor first then Swarm.

I only tested twice but it worked both times, the second time Swarm of Flies killed with the dot and Swarm wasn't even necessary. If crits cause your #2 Skitterling to die before it can soak Void Gate, you'll need to restart.

Thank you. This helped so much. It kept failing until I tried this. Works in patch 10.2.5

Used Voidskimmer (H/P) instead of one of the Chitterspine, Turn 2 Whirlpool, Turn 3 Void Tremors. The rest was as the same as this strat. Had to try 2 times because Claw might kill Chitterline 1 turn before it's supposed to die (edited)

Worked for me as well. My third pet died one round too early, but I switched in the second pet and it worked too.
