Menagerie Daily Battle Guide (in order)

Post by Vaeevictiss » February 9th, 2015, 2:04 pm

Didn't see one here so I though I would post mine.

Some of these i found around, some i found and modified for my liking or to make faster, and some i came up with on my own. If i don't have a breed listed, Its because it only comes in one flavor. Obviously, all pets are max level rares.

A second note, I designed the teams to be fast more so than for leveling pets since I do the daily battle on 5 toons. However some include a leveling pet. From what I have found, my Brutus and Ruckus strategy is by far the fastest to beat and allow for a leveling pet. I have leveled several pets to 25 each time they come around. Pop the two foods and put on your hat and you can get some serious leveling in in an hour.

Some teams just have horrible RNG *cough*kingandqueen*cough* and there isnt much you can do about it.


Grubbles & Co.

-Flayer Youngling (S/S) - 222
-Leveling Pet
-Iron Starlette (P/P)- 121

Deflection, Rampage, Triple Snap (grub dies), swap in leveling pet to get stunned and swap in Starlette, Wind Up, Toxic Smoke, Wind Up (scrags dies), Wind Up, Supercharge, Wind Up.

------------------------------------
Archimedes & Co.

-Nexus Whelp (P/S) - 222
-Leveling Pet
-Nexus Whelp (P/S) - 222

Mana surge (this will cast mana surge after Jahan casts Arcane Storm essentially two shotting him), (3rd surge will hit Samm and MAY one shot him if you get lucky crits, finish off with breath if not), hit Archimedes with arcane storm then cast anything because you will die, swap in leveling pet, swap in 2nd whelp, mana surge.

------------------------------------
Eleanor

-Unborn Val'kyr (H/H) - 122
-Pandaren Water Spirit - 122
-Chrominius - 112

Pass, Unholy Ascension (you will die, then cast, thus giving you another free round), Curse of Doom, [bring in Water Spirit], Geyser, Whirlpool, [swap in Chrominius], Howl (after this, all 3 debuffs will go off killing Eleanor the first time), Pass.

------------------------------------
Tirs & Fiero

-Syd the Squid - 111
-Legs - 212
-Possible soak pet (magics work well here)

Whirlpool, Bubble, Water Jet, Water Jet, Water Jet, Water Jet (Tirs dies), Whirlpool, Water Jet (until Syd dies), [bring in Legs], if Fiero is under 740 then use Surge of Power. If not, then double Pump.

------------------------------------

-Unborn Val'kyr (H/H) - 122
-Anubisath Idol - 112

------------------------------------
Quintessence of Light

-Unborn Val'kyr (H/H) - 122
-Pandaren Water Spirit - 122
-Chrominius - 112

Fight has some RNG. If your Water Spirit takes 2 triple hits he will die. Chrominius can take 2 triple hits as long as there are no crits.

Shadow Slash, Shadow Slash, Pass, Unholy Ascension, Doom, [bring in Water Spirit], Geyser, Whirlpool, [bring in Chrominius], Howl (at this point, Geyser, Whirlpool, AND Doom will go off and he should be under 100hp and dazed. Hit him with whatever.

------------------------------------
Blingtron & Co.

-Core Hound Pup - 212
-Electrified Razortooth - 121
-Ruby Droplet (H/P) - 222

Ruby Droplet can actually solo entire fight. Other pets were just added to speed it up. If you really wanted to add in leveling pets that's on you.

Howl, Burrow (Blingtron should die after it hits), do anything as he will suicide, Howl, Thrash, Thrash (Pup will die), [bring in Electrified Razortooth], Rip, Devour (Protectron will die), Rip, Blood in the Water, Devour (Razortooth will die), Absorb, Drain Blood.

------------------------------------

------------------------------------

Never needed 3rd pet.

------------------------------------
Deebs, Tyri & Puzzle

-Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling - 112
-Death Adder Hatchling (S/S) - 112
-ANY

fight can have a lot of RNG.

Decoy, Breath until Deebs dies, continue Breath until Dragonling dies, (cast Blinding Poison when Surge of Light comes off CD), otherwise cast Poison Fang and Puncture Wound when it is off CD. On Puzzle, just pass on rounds he is un-hittable.

-Eternal Strider (P/S) - 122

------------------------------------
King & Queen Floret (Credit to KevWow on Wowhead)

Puddle Terror - 122
Pandaren Water Spirit - 121
Carry pet (450+ HP approx)

Clobber (forces swap) > Water Jet > Dive (Fist of the Forest misses)
Water Jet > Water Jet > Clobber (forces swap)
Water Jet > Dive (Fist of the Forest misses) > Water Jet if you can
sometimes you die, other times they Righteous Inspiration and you get that last Water Jet hit in then you die

Switch to Pandaren Water Spirit

Dive > Whirlpool > Water Jet
Bring out carry pet on last turn of Whirlpool - sometimes your PWS will die and it will be a free swap but if Righteous Inspiration is cast your carry pet wont get the XP, so it's safer to swap in the carry pet.

------------------------------------
Kromli & Gromli

-Anubisath Idol - 111
-Ghastly Kid - 221
-Stitched Pup - 121

Deflection, Spam Crush and use Deflection when Kromli's Rupture is off CD (Kromli dies), Sandstorm, (some RNG here; your Deflection will probably be on CD still so use Crush. If Gromli hits you will most likely die, if he misses, you have another round) (Anibisath Idol Dies) [bring in Ghastly Kid], Diseased Bite, Ethereal (if Gromli's Haymaker is off CD), Ghostly Bite, Pass, Diseased Bite, Ethereal, Diseased Bite, Diseased Bite, Ghostly Bite (on rez round) (both pets should die here, if not, it's a quick win with the Stitched Pup).

Stolen from WoWhead (thanks KevWow), try this vs King & Queen Floret, it almost completely neutralizes their RNG:

Puddle Terror [1/2/2]
Pandaren Water Spirit [1/2/1]
Carry pet (450+ HP approx)

Open w/Puddle Terror
- Clobber (forces swap) > Water Jet > Dive (Fist of the Forest misses)
- Water Jet > Water Jet > Clobber (forces swap)
- Water Jet > Dive (Fist of the Forest misses) > Water Jet if you can
sometimes you die, other times they Righteous Inspiration and you get that last Water Jet hit in then you die

Switch to Pandaren Water Spirit

Dive > Whirlpool > Water Jet
Bring out carry pet on last turn of Whirlpool - sometimes your PWS will die and it will be a free swap but if Righteous Inspiration is cast your carry pet wont get the XP, so it's safer to swap in the carry pet.

For Kromli and Gromli, you can open with Flayer Youngling (1,2,1) and cycle 2,3,1,1,1

Flayer survives Kromli with just a bit of health left. Depending on RNG, you can usually get off at least one blitz... if you're lucky, you can cycle through deflect,kick,and blitz at least twice.

The XP got super-nerfed, so it might not matter so much anymore.

yeah well maybe if people want to share their strats we can find out what the fastest one is, maybe this is still being useful! unfortunately i haven't bothered yet to switch to 3 pet strats yet.

Just to add to the post, I found For Rockbiter, Stonechewer & Acidtooth today (EU) I used a H/B Jungle Darter with Rain and then spammed kiss which pretty much wiped all three 90% of the time and just left one to finish off the other times.

Oh well not that it matters much now for levelling :-(

1/10 the experience of a wild battle, which is 1/30 the experience they used to.

wow yea, that was completely uncalled for lol.

Guess ill go back to pandaria for leveling unless they nerfed that too. with the hat and both pet foods you can level 3-4 pets in one trip around in less than an hour.

Tamers are good still. Actually Tarr got "buffed/fixed" to give the same EXP as other WoD tamers (he was previously much less). If you are froggy, you can do all the MoP and WoD tamers in an hour (sometimes only 4/5 WoD depending on fight RNG).
