Pet Battle Royale - Cast Your Vote (May)

This month you have to choose between the rare, beautiful Unborn Val'kyr Helene, the muscular Chrominius aka Snuffles, and the slippery Pandaren Water Spirit Yao Shui.

This month's Pet Battle Royale is a three-pet brawl, so be discerning in your pick!

I love all three, but PWS is probably the most versatile of the three. I have to give her the edge here.

Gonna go with Snuffles, because he's adorable!
Also because [ability]Howl[/ability] is key to the strategy, and the follow-up [ability]Surge of Power[/ability] puts out nearly as much damage as the "bomb" ([ability]Whirlpool[/ability]+[ability]Geyser[/ability]) when part of the combo, and much more if both ability pairs are taken separately.

It's true that the bomb is courtesy of Yao Shui, but with the upcoming changes, he won't be able to pull it off anymore - whereas Snuffles will still fry anyone in his path!

Helene? As much as I like Val'kyrs, she's always been optional for the combo - neither the Howl nor the Bomb, so nope :)

Tough choice! Especially with the changes coming in Legion in mind.

I'll have to go with [pet]Chrominius[/pet] this time around. I use him the most in different team comps, but the [pet]Unborn Val'kyr[/pet] comes in at a close second.

A very very sexy threesome..

Knew a girl once, I had a crush on, called Helene, so my vote naturally goes to her...

I'm going with PWS, if for no other reason than he has helped me out of many a sticky situation. The Whirlpool + Geyser combo seems to always provide an edge. Plus the Pandaren elementals are all so cute!

I gotta go with Snuffles because his howl is the critical part of the strategy, and he's got surge of power as a back up nuke for team howlbomb.

this is an easy one to figure out. Just ask yourself which of the three has the best chance of winning in a one on one scenario. The Valk is usually optional to the whole strategy, so we can eliminate her immediately. The Water spirit, while powerful in the combo, isn't really a power hitter on her own. Chrominius, however... MmmmHmmm... Barring some sort of dodge ability from his opponent, he's going to destroy most opponents in two or three rounds, depending on health. He's a homerun hitter, and doesn't need help to make it happen!!!

First, I want to award a prize for naming Snuffles! I would never have thought of it myself, but now I see Chrominius as a huge hulking dog that enters a room and snuffles around the floor looking for tidbits someone might have dropped, and I will never again see him any other way. :)

If the question was which was my favourite pet, that might be tough, but the question of who contributes most to the team's success is quantifiable, and as Vakeetah points out, there can be only one correct answer.

So my vote goes to Snuffles.

I think Chrominius would take this one. It may be close though, as it is a two round recovery for his surge of power...., and if opponent does not go down after howl, bite and surge of power.... And, as others have stated, I love his name - Snuffles :D

Helene casts Haunt on Snuffles.

Snuffles Howls Yao Shui. Yao casts Geyser on Snuffles before dying.

Helene's Haunt ends and finishes off Snuffles for the win.

I use Chrominius more often than the other two so my vote goes to him.
