Had to rush twice in the end but it worked after 3-4 tries.

My Fiendish Imp had lower health than my Runt, so in Turn 2 I just swapped to Imp instead of passing. For Turn 10 I used Imp's Burn (slot 1) instead of Rush because it was higher damage, not sure if that was necessary but it worked.

Worked first time as indicated. Was very close on the imp at the end though.

Worked, but took like 10 tries. The enemy's Claw attack hit for >600 90% of the time.

Only had a P/S Imp avaiable. Works with those, too, but super RNG. Your Imp need to get hit lower than 550 in step 3, or it won't work

Thanks for the strat, worked first time. A script:

quit [round=4 & self.hp < 800]
quit [round=8 & !self(#3).dead]
standby [round<3]
use(Rush:567) [round=3]
use(Rush:567) [round>8]
use(Immolation:409)
use(Mangle:314) [round=5]
use(Rampage:124)
use(Bubble:934)
standby [round=9]
use(Stampede:163)

(It'll autoquit if either the first hit on the imp is >600, or if the runt fails to die, per the author's note, just heal and start again.)

This can work with a P/S Fiendish Imp, but it is SUPER RNG. I had to forfeit a wild pet battle to lower my P/P Kun-Lai Runt's health below Fiendish Imp's 1359, and then if Shadeflicker gets low RNG on his Claw every time (and no crits) he will die following the strategy.
