Shadowlands test: This still works on the 9.0 PTR.

As on live, two crits at the start will bring the Valk to zero before it can Haunt, but that's a 1 in 400 chance, and once past that, Ikky and the Curse and the Haunt still kills Flummox without crits.

I suppose you could bring in a third, perhaps an undead with Ghostly Bite or something like that, as a third if you get very unlucky, but there should be no need.

Not sure what changed but having this exact team is a complete fail nowdays (multiple tries) Not even close, lowest hp for boss was 826

You don't say exactly what went wrong. I just tested, worked fine as always.

I think it is possible that if both Flummox's attacks crit, and your Valk is a B/B, it might be brought to zero and be unable to Haunt. That's pretty unlucky - one in 400.

Similarly, two crits on Punch on your Ikky might knock it below its racial too soon.

I'm guessing you just had a very unlucky day. As TSP wisely said two years ago, if you hav a backup Ikky or fast Anklerender, it might be good to keep in in the third slot for days like that!

I have to agree with Gráinne - I used this strat 3 times today (adding a Level 20 Jungle Grub as the first pet, hitting once and swapping out to my H/H Unborn Val'kyr, then proceeding exactly as per the strategy above). Smooth wins all three times.

you can use a mechanical pet lvl 18+ on the first slot, unborn valkyr, ikky.

1 - use any attack or pass, = you will die = and rez back.
2 - switch to unborn valkyr and continue the strategy above.

I used this strat. a few times and worked 100%... my mechanical pet got almost 5k xp during the bonus week event - I was using the safari hat - went from level 18 to 22.

Mechanical leveling pet needs at least 1136 hp to survive. A magic pet needs at least 500 hp. Assuming they don't take any crits. Also, any leveling pet with an ability like dodge works.

Another option...
Snowfeather Hatchling 1,2,1
Lost Nether Pup 2,2,2
Dire Beak Hatchling 1,2,1

1) crouch
2) Falcosaur Swarm
3) predatory Strike
4) falcosaur swarm
You die here but he has 2 rounds of debuff
Bring in the pup
5) Howl (now you have two debuffs of 100% damage)
6) Shadow shock (He may die here)
7) Dark flame
you die here
8) Iron Skin
9) falcosaur swarm (he may die on this second round)
10) predatory strike

I had that happen, I actually was able to complete it with:
Court Scribe and Creeping Tentacle

Turn 1 - curse of doom
Turn 2 - swap to creeping tentacle
Turn 3 - creeping insanity
Turn 4 - swap to sharptalon
Turn 5+ - Falconsaur Swarm!

Remember - your Falconsaur doesn't need to survive to get credit.

Snowshoe Hare lvl 19 Rare with 1-2-1 in first slot. I used Burrow as ability, could also have passed or used dodge... Then otherwise followed the strat as written above. My Level pet got 1 whole lvl with Safari Hat on, so it's not much. Doable indeed.

Pet 1: Cockroach (1 2 2)
Pet 2: Frostwolf Ghostpup (1 1 1)
Pet 3: Rabbit (1 2 1)

1- Cast Cockroach's Apocalypse immediately and then swap him out for your Frostwolf.
2- Cast Refuge and then swap back to the cockroach. Let him attack you and dodge, then swap to your Cottontail and dodge.
3- With your Cottontail, Cast Dodge and Burrow between attacks and try to spend as many turns as you can until you die.
4- When dead, bring back out your Frostwolf. Recast Refuge and then cast Frolick. Start praying RNG is on your side for some dodges. You have the undead passive on your side for an extra turn to be spent too.
5- If and when your Ghostpup is dead you should be 2 or 3 maybe 4 turns left until Apocalypse. Try to spend some time keeping him busy and use Survival as a last ditch effort.

Xufu, have you tried Swapping in a lvling pet right after the Val'kyr, only then to ikky? Seems he may still give XP this way. Or maybe begin with any lvl 15+ pet then swap to Val'kyr and follow this strat.

Hey! I haven't tried this yet, because I found Flummox to be way too annoying to even bother ^^ But it might work out well indeed! I can't test it though, because I already beat him this time around.

Hey Xufu I managed to bring a LvL 1 in right after Val'kyr's Haunt, then Ikky with Black Claw + Flock untill dead, then Val'kyr back with a final Shadow Lash (buffed by Ikky's Flock). I only got ~1500 XP even with the Hat on my lvl 1 pet, up to level 7.

There's RNG, I tried with a level 17 pet in the third slot and it failed. Flummox had too much HP left for Valkyr to finish in one shot.

Sarth wrote on 2017-01-09 18:15:02

The RNG issue is mostly with his crits on your pets. That can ruin this strat. The point is that Ikky has to survive long enough for at least 2 turns, 1 to debuff black claw, and another to debuff his defense. Val'kyr shadow lash+Flock (debuffed)+Black Claw (Debuffed), if he has less than 600 health may be enough,

I tried the strategy of putting in a level pet first and he was the only one left after flummox died from curse of doom finally but the spell used by leveling pet was stench and level 23. During bonus week and level pet got 0 xp.
