Perhaps something in Patch 9.2.x changed but this strat really doesn't work. Just awful. RNG isn't in it. Whelpling cannot finish Moth. Xu-Fu doesn't take out Needlenose...Chrominius comes in and cannot finish Needlenose either... (edited)

wrote on 2022-04-29 09:38:48

Since there's nothing about it (but we've seen that people didn't like the RNG when continuing after that), a script that forfeits on Asleep in Round 1 and strictly sticks to the steps could look like this:

quit [ self.aura(Asleep:498).exists ]
change(#2) [ enemy.is(Needlenose:3004) ]
change(#3) [ enemy.is(Brite:3005) ]
use(Arcane Storm:589)
use(Mana Surge:489)
use(Prowl:536)
use(Moonfire:595)
use(Howl:362)
use(Surge of Power:593)
change(next)

And if you like the shorter version, there is a script in the 2020 November 30 comment by Rubix, changed to a forfeit on sleep it would look like this:

quit [self.aura(Asleep:498).exists]
use(#2) [self(#3).active]
use(#3)
use(#2)
change(next) (edited)

Lazey

wrote on 2022-04-29 09:58:23

I personally would add a condition to Prowl to react to stronger hits of the first pet. This way you can get down to 9 rounds when Moonfire alone is sufficient to kill Needlenose.

quit [ self.aura(Asleep:498).exists ]
change(#2) [ enemy.is(Needlenose:3004) ]
change(#3) [ enemy.is(Brite:3005) ]
use(Arcane Storm:589)
use(Mana Surge:489)
use(Prowl:536) [ enemy.hp>714 ]
use(Moonfire:595)
use(Howl:362)
use(Surge of Power:593)
change(next)

Too much RNG for a #1 Ranked Strat. It works, but OTOH, you can very easily go 3 fights in a row where the moth stun forces a restart.

Gráinne

wrote on 2022-05-19 04:05:51

This battle has the pretty much inevitable stun chance in the first round. I use the Nexus as my first pet, and personally, I don't restart if stunned. It nearly always goes on to win anyhow.

I think I've lost once by not restarting.

Aamudawn

wrote on 2022-07-14 04:47:04

This strategy seems to fail only if the Nexus Whelpling dies before the first opponent dies. So I recommend continuing with the stun, and only restarting if the Whelpling dies before Needlenose comes in. (edited)

Buellah wrote on 2022-04-03 21:34:50

I don't have Xu-Fu, but I tried this with Ash'ana. Swapped Prowl for Rake and it worked 1st time.

Wolor

wrote on 2022-04-03 18:13:07

Original go-to works well as long as you don't get stunned first. If so, reset and the Nexus, Xu-Fu, and Chrominius takes care of business.

Zoic wrote on 2022-03-22 03:28:02

I used Feline Familiar (1,2,2) instead of Xu-Fu and worked just fine.

Also getting stunned early and Nexus dies too soon.

Helsinger

wrote on 2022-01-20 22:29:04

Four times in a row, my Nexus was stunned on the first turn. Died before Moth Balls did, and the strategy went downhill from there. Had to restart each of the four times.

Darkflame wrote on 2021-11-29 12:45:08

I really like the Fragments for this fight. Start with Fragment of Anger: Spiritfire Beam, Soulrush then fill with Spiritfire Bolt, Spiritfire Beam again if you can, after that you're using Fragment of Desire and Fragment of Suffering prioritizing Soulrush off CD and filling with Spiritfire Bolt.

wrote on 2021-11-24 22:45:46

I used P/B nexus, P/P xu-fu and H/H chrom. worked perfect (have only done it once with this strat, but its way faster than the other strat I was using)

Pinth wrote on 2021-10-16 07:42:01

I used Teroclaw Hatchling as the first pet - claw, dodge, claw, ravage. This took the first opponent down and I still got two hits on the next one. I could only rarely get the Nexus Whelping to kill the first opponent. This worked better for me.

Gráinne

wrote on 2021-10-16 11:41:28

That's interesting. What breed of Nexus were you using?

I use Nexus as first pet, and a P/P always gets the first opponent down, except if my Nexus is stunned on the first round AND I have bad luck with crits after. That has happened, but I can remember only one time. (There may have been another.)

Every time I was stunned first I lost. - Star would have 1000 health and Nexus would be dead.

Why is this not the go-to strat? Works 100%

RealNerdyViking wrote on 2020-12-29 23:21:33

I was able to use this strategy, but with Ban-Fu, Cub of Ban-Lu instead. Prowl>Moon Tears>Spirit Claws. Otherwise works just as suggested.

Rubix

wrote on 2020-11-30 14:31:55

Worked for me (tested 5-6 times). Seems things could go sideways if the moth crit my nexus whelpling (P/S) and put it to sleep in the same fight; might be worth adding an RNG tag to the strat based on that.

Here's the script that I used as well:

use(#2) [self(#3).active]
use(#3)
use(#2)
standby [self.aura(Asleep:498).exists]
