Xu-Fu's Pet Battle Strategies

Xu-Fu's Pet Guides are a welcoming community all around pet battles in World of Warcraft.

All that is possible thanks to a group of dedicated contributors and visitors just like yourself! Be part of it, and enjoy your stay!

New view on your strategies

When Legion was released, I struggled very hard to keep up with the world quests and test+add strategies. Now with BfA, since everyone can upload strategies, every one of the new quests has a number of different alternatives available already. - - It worked out very well, ... continue reading

Battle for Azeroth

The release of a new addon is always a very special time. All that anticipation, culminating into the first hours of entering new zones and experiencing all the new content that we only read about or maybe saw some videos. Or played on the beta, but it's not the same ... continue reading

Thanks for the strat, has worked well for me. One question - what's the point of dodge on turn 6? breaker attacks first, so dodge seems pointless? -

Backline had a rare pp tree python and a common bird. This was the only strategie that worked. I used a hs emerald whelpling tho.

This strategy is way more unnecessarily complicated than it needs to be compared to just using the level 25 Hydraling Deep Bites and Shell Armor

Hi, thank you for the feedback. - - If your Teroclaw Hatchling died from Mind Warper's first attack, then something happened during the last 2 fights that we can attribute to RNG, or Ravage never happened versus Lesser Charged Gale. - - You should ideally be starting ... [continue reading]

Works! But I don't know if I like 3hp left on my darter hatchling, lol.

I use Chrominius in 3rd slot. Only had to cast Surge of Power. Milo's hp was a little more than what bite would hit and would have to rely on a crit to one shot it.

Belatar wrote today on: Keeyo’s Champions of Vol’dun

this script worked for me in the past but today it failed three times in a row bc milo (#3, the spider) kills my lvl pet with an attack when i try to swap it out again. very strange. did blizz change the mechanic of swapping in/out so that you always take a hit?

Nope. - - If you don't use Nature's Ward with your Teroclaw Hatchling during the second fight with Lesser Twisted Current, there is no way your snail will survive the third fight. - - Teroclaw Hatchling died with Mind Warper's first attack and never got a ... [continue reading]

Due to Molten Corgi being unobtainable, I replaced that one with Enchanted Broom. - It will also help you again those pesky crabs! - You can still use Molten Corgi for this battle if you've got it :-) - - Old Rematch strings: - ... [continue reading]

Is search broken for anyone else? When I try to search for something, my current page refreshes and that's it.

It's not a very good search function right now, it is only redirecting if there's something directly related to what you typed. If you look for "XuFu", it won't work, but If you search for "Xu-Fu" it will redirect you to the strategy page.
Hope that helps!

The celestial tournament page for week A (using this ID: 458896288) is just not working at all today (8/12/2018) no matter what browser I use. :(

My apologies for that.The recent update I did created this problem and I have to find the time to repair the tournament planner now.

Attempting to add a strat to the Chopped wq and the page has thrown a wobbler. It's cut off the bottom of the strat, I can't add any more lines, and all the tabs have disappeared, including the tab for the alternate strats.

To the Team here:
First I want to thank you for the continued development and implementation of the tools you have created for everyone here. I love coming back to see all the wonderful shiny implementations you are doing, and the fact that people can log in, vote and upscale various posts and strategies. Seeing buttons like "RNG" and "Breed" are such a wonderful addition. And frankly because I am a 'casual' gamer, this site has saved me HOURS of trying out my (failed) strategies and use other people's Pet Loving strats. It has made me somewhat enjoy the new twists that Blizzard has created with various pet battles, and definitely enhances my gaming experience as a avid pet collector.
Thank you for ALL your hard work.
Thank you for sharing the Pet Love.

Many thanks for all the work you've put into this site, Aranesh! I have had countless hours of fun doing pet battles because of the strategies shared here. I doubt I could have finished the Celestial Tournament rounds without help from here!

Here's to a lot more fun in BfA, and don't forget to show our support by clicking on the Donate button! (Btw, Aranesh, the redirect from Paypal after donating landed in a page not found.)

Everything is great, but I wanted to comment on one quick issue that has come up with your new updates to pet battle pages. Before, you could scroll over the alternative teams for a fight and see any notes. Now you cannot, which is a pain for the Kura/Erris fight in the pet menagerie. I now have to click through each alternative until I find the one for the right team. While I appreciate that it shows you what pets are used in the alternative strategies without having to click through them, it would be nice to be able to see the notes about them without having to click on the alternative.

Other than that, your site is great and I really appreciate all the hard work you put into it. Thank you for what you do on here!

I think the whole Kura/Erris section needs an overhaul, tbh. It's very dated now and doesn't fit with the new enhanced features.

I just joined today to be able to say Thank You Very Much for your site and efforts of those who contributed strategies and comments. I ignored pet battling since its inception but Legion finally got me curious. With this site, I managed to complete Family Familiar! I feel so fortunate to have found so much information in the easiest to use appearance. Gratitude to all who helped.

I wanted to say thank you to Aranesh, the development team, and all the kind contributors at Xu Fu for these amazing strategies. Pet battling became so complicated and frustrating solo. There is no way I could have accomplished what I did without your efforts.

It saddens me that people such as yourselves, who receive no money for your work, have done more for my success in WoW pet ventures than the Blizzard company itself. Blizzard takes in $12-15 US each month, and has received hundreds of dollars from me over the years. Yet after years of financial and personal commitment to their products, Blizzard cares nothing about my success in their world, particularly when it comes to pet battles and pet collections. Low drop rates, unspoken pet spawning times, and useless customer service help ticket responses pushed me away from the game. If Blizzard had even 20% of the passion for WoW fans that Xu Fu staff demonstrates, I might have stayed. They do not, and I doubt they ever will. As a result of this, I am leaving WoW with no plans to return.

Xu Fu was one of the pest parts of my WoW journey. You all listened to the community, took feedback under advisement, and constantly sought to improve both the user interface and site content. You linked with other sites and we're not threatened by criticism. Cheers to you, Aranesh, and all the other staff. All the best to you in your current and future ventures. Thank you.

Hey Gatekus,

I was very moved by your words, and it took me a while to find the right words. I hope I found them now: Thank you. Thank you for your immense praise towards me and all Xu-Fu contributors. You are right, passion for WoW and all its pets is the driving force behind this page.
Your words for Blizzard are quite harsh, and I do not intend to defend them, that's not my place and not my task ^^ I met a number of their employees over time, and for those individuals, I can vouch that their passion for this game is at least equal to my own.
If that were not the case, most likely I would not invest my own passion into this project myself.

Be that how it may, I am glad to have been part of the positive side for you, and wish you also all the best for yourself!
