Xu-Fu Strategy vs. Flowing Pandaren Spirit (2025)

This goes a lot faster with Spawn of Gnathus in slot 3 to fight the last pet. Replace Dodge with Dive and Alpha Strike with Swallow You Whole.

if [ enemy(#1).active ]
ability(Dodge) [ enemy.round=3 ]
ability(Alpha Strike)
endif
if [ enemy(#2).active ]
ability(Ravage) [ enemy.round=5 ]
ability(Alpha Strike)
endif
if [ enemy(#3).active ]
change(#2) [ !self(#2).played ]
change(#3) [ self(#2).played ]
change(#1) [ self(3).dead ]
ability(Dive:564) [enemy.round=4]
ability(Thunderbolt:779)
ability(Swallow You Whole:276)
ability(Alpha Strike)
endif (edited)

Upvote for this one. The main strategy on this page just did not seem to work for me, I failed so many times

it's a great base team to then build upon which Epytropos has done with their suggestion and TD Script.

I won first try with this modification. To clarify, add Spawn of G'nathus in the 3rd slot with abilities (1,1,x) - 3rd ability doesn't matter as you will most definitely not need it!

Thanks all for your hard work as always!

If anyone uses Epytropos script and wonder why it breaks

change(#1) [ self(3).dead ]
is missing a #
should be self(#3)

See my comment waaaay below, from 2018.

This is a variation intended to save a classic one-pet strat from the days when the Teroclaw had both Dodge and Nature's Ward available. I am not convinced it is as reliable as the original, but I am a bit surprised to hear that the Teroclaw dies as early as Tiptoe.

Personally, I stick with Alpha Strike rather than Ravage to finish off Tiptoe, and after swapping in the level pet, I then swap to a third that will finish things. Many pets will deal with PWS. I use Stout Alemental, but a second Teroclaw is also safe.

I use my Teroclaw with 2 level pets (level 15+ with more than 1200 health) BUT it is dependent on Tiptoe using Healing Wave early in the fight.
TD Script is as follows for anyone who wanna try it:
if [enemy(#1).active]
ability(Alpha Strike) [self.round=1]
ability(Alpha Strike) [self.round=2]
ability(Dodge)
ability(Alpha Strike)
endif

if [enemy(#2).active]
ability(Ravage) [enemy.hp<500 & !enemy.ability(#2).usable]
ability(Alpha Strike)
endif

if [enemy(#3).active]
change(#2) [!self(#2).played]
change(#3) [!self(#3).played]
change(#1) [self(#3).active]
ability(Dodge) [self.aura(Whirlpool).duration=1]
ability(Alpha Strike)
endif (edited)

With good RNG, this battle can allow you to solo the trio with the Teroclaw alone. You can even take a(n admittedly huge) risk and level two pets: instead of swapping back to the Terclaw and Alpha Strike'ing, swap to the second pet, then swap back to Teroclaw and immediately Dodge.

Unfortunately, Tiptoe's moves are randomly used, whereas both the water spirit and Marley have a specific pattern that can be exploited.

As such, when I say it's RNG, I mean it's definitely heavy on the RNG as to whether you can risk bringing in two pets to level, or whether you should have a backup pet to finish the job.

EDITED TO ADD: I use two pets for leveling instead of one, and I win *and* get both of them XP approximately 4 times out of 5 (they do need to survive up to 3 attacks from Tiptoe, so extremely low level pets are still risky). Due to the RNG it's by no means guaranteed to work, but I definitely find it's considerably more than a 50/50 shot! (edited)
