Saviour! used kneebiter, summit kid and clefthoof HH, clefthoof was pulled in after kneebiter but managed to get two stampede rounds off, kid came last, perfect kill with kid having 65% health left

This worked for me in pre-patch with a Zandalari Kneebiter (SS). All that changed for me was:

Turn 1 was Black Claw instead of Pass.
Between Turn 3-5 & 6 Kneebiter used Black Claw again.
Added a final turn of Kneebiter using Bloodfang and I finally won the battle.

Yep, works-ish in SL, just have a fast first pet. I went with Zandalari Footslasher SS 212, and used debuffs whenever he was up.

Used a Mining Monkey as my random pet but didn't realize his move demolish was a 50% hit chance. So I switch to a jab and it worked.

Sazandora

wrote on 2019-11-28 20:27:49

I randomly picked an SS Grove Viper as my first pet, used Hiss on Bucky on a whim as it was faster than Bucky, then proceeded with the strategy as normal -- but Netherpup was able to finish Bucky off on its own. Awesome strat! :)

Millordy wrote on 2018-10-25 16:23:39

Son of Skum can almost solo the fight. Make sure the other two pets are set up so that Skum is the pet switched in on the first turn, and then use Lightning Shield and Stampede. The damage from Bucky's stampede will nearly kill him by the time he's taken Skum out.

I used a spider with s/s and put poison spit on before he swapped my pet out didnt even get to the last few steps because of the damage from the poison

Thank you for this tip! I did this on my second go (he had like 2 health left on my first try) and he died at the maul step.

Quintette wrote on 2017-11-05 14:10:57

Simple 4-5 turn rotation.
Spot 1: S/S Summit Kid XXX as it will get swapped
Spot 2: S/S Zandalari Anklerender 2-2-2
Spot 3: S/S Zandalari Kneebiter 2-2-1

Round 1: Summit Kid - Pass, will get swapped out
Round 2: Anklerender - Black Claw
Round 3 -4: Anklerender - Hunting Party - Anklerender dies
Round 5: Kneebiter - still 1 round of Black Claw remaining, 1 round of Hunting Party kills Bucky FTW.

I used lvl 22 Summit Kid and lvl 20 Kneebiter.. still won ^^ very good strategy!

Nostromoo wrote on 2018-07-09 19:37:44

I did spider s/s with Brittle Webbing, it goes first.
Anklerender s/s gets swapped in. Used Black Claw then Hunting Party, nothing more is needed = 4 rounds kill and no dead pets

Kanga wrote on 2018-07-10 02:04:31

Summit & Lost were good enuf with a random Beast, ty. Happy Aug'18 Xpac peeps.

Cernunnas

wrote on 2017-11-07 05:08:35

I uesd my zandalari kneebiter as the first pet. I could land a black claw before being swapped, as it's faster than Bucky. That helped kill Bucky before I had a chance to use my netherpup!

Wreathy wrote on 2017-12-31 23:41:08

Awesome. So quick. Really it needs to be Zandalari Anklerender or Kneebiter, Summit Kid, any beast 25

Khes

wrote on 2018-04-07 06:25:58

Kid, Anklerender, leatherhide Runt, stampedes + hunting party for the win

Khes

wrote on 2018-04-07 06:38:54

Kid, Anklerender, flat tooth calf (or anything with a big 1 turn attack), stampedes + hunting party for the win (use primal cry instead of black claw, give you two attacks from hunting party and double dmg that you won't otherwise get for the headbutt)

turns:

Swap
Chew
Stampede

Primal Cry
Hunting Party

Headbutt

my apologies for above post i was TRYING to use runt but it wasn't working.

P/B Kneebiter is not quicker...you probably have S/S?

Maelchon

wrote on 2018-04-08 23:03:46

I would advise taking the Diemetrodon Hatchling (or any other Beast with Quick Attack) as the first pet in this strat. First, you get to do something more constructive with your first move than pass, and finally at the end of the battle having that Quick Attack on the back of Netherpup's Howl buff ensures you have less to worry about with RNG.

Amazing Strat! My Son of Skum got swapped in before Anklerender but I practically defeated Bucky with only Son of Skum just needed the last stampede from Summit Kid. Didn't even use Anklerender :D!

Malicedoll wrote on 2018-02-06 13:08:12

Thank you, Son of Skum and a kneebiter worked great!

Nomad75 wrote on 2017-10-05 02:36:20

Used Burrow Spiderling in slot one with Brittle Webbing (any spider with speed over 338 and Brittle Webbing) on turn 1 and Bucky was dead on turn 6 Maul.

OriginalNyla wrote on 2017-11-05 12:40:46

This one worked for me even with a 24 anklerender, though he died as expected so no xp. I kept failing xu-fu's strat with 10 or 20 health left on bucky since I didn't have the netherpup leveled and the cinder pup just didn't quite cut it.

Working as of this post :) Thank you!

Used Ash Lizard (S/B) as the random pet, quick strike hits first, so you get one hit already at the start and get to do the finisher at the end, before Bucky gets a chance to hit you.

Aralynn wrote on 2017-09-22 06:15:43

I didn't had summit kid,nether pup or skum leveled up so i used this.
Zandalari Anklerender(S/S)-huntin party,primal cry,black claw
Zandalari kneebiter-hunting party,black claw,bloodfang
Amethyst spiderling-poison spit,brittle webbing,spiderling swarm

Start with zandalari ankle
turn 1 black claw
Amethyst spiderling gets swapped in
turn 2 brittle webbing
turn 3 spiderling swarm
turn 4 poison spit
turn 5 brittle webbing
turn 6 R.I.P Bucky (if not use any base attack)

Emsarrev wrote on 2017-09-22 13:46:41

Confirmed. Can any use S/S Zandalari as first pet as long as it has Black Claw.

Drax13 wrote on 2017-09-20 00:16:37

I used an S/S Desert Spider (2/2/2) in 1st slot and got off a Brittle Webbing before he swapped me to Summit Kid, then followed the strat. He died much earlier beating on himself those rounds with the webbing.

Kessyra wrote on 2017-09-21 15:17:57

Used S/S Spider... and Frostwolf Pup instead of Lost Netherpup since that wasn't lvled. Worked perfectly.

Flabby wrote on 2017-09-06 13:08:28

I used Random Beast, Son of Skum (2,1,2), and Random Beast.
Turn 1 - Pass
Turn 2 - Lightning Shield
Turn 3 - Stampede until Son of Skum dies
Turn 4 - Random Beast #2 use a normal ability

Awesome, should be first suggested method, my Son of Skum is only level 23 and still managed to beat it alone. :)

Tamii wrote on 2017-09-19 11:25:59

Didnt really have any pets people mentioned in earlier comments.
Played around abit with diffrent comps and came up with one that one shottedfor me, was just thinking about stampede so i bet any pets with stampede works fine.

Direhorn Runt 1 2 1
Summit Kid 2 1 2
Zandalari Anklerender 2 1 1

1. Trihorn Charge (Summit Kid should get swaped in here)
2. Chew
3+4. Stampede (Zandalari Anklerender gets swaped in here)
5+6. Hunting Party
7. Pass (Direhorn Runt comes in again)
8. Trihorn Charge, if this dosnt finnish it use Stampede. you should survive with around 40 hp

Asarkhadon wrote on 2017-09-19 18:19:26

Thanks! Survived with 8 hp.

Yewfire wrote on 2017-09-15 19:46:57

Worked first time. Thanks!

Note: My "Any Beast" was FROSTWOLF PUP... same abilities as LOST NETHERPUP... Maul ftw!

Baldulf wrote on 2017-09-15 17:59:43

Worked great. I used an S/S Death Adder Hatchling and opened with Poison Fang. Maul finished the fight.

Argent wrote on 2017-09-10 13:36:55

Seems like it can't be a *truly* random beast - my S/S Alpine Foxling with Flurry couldn't do enough damage in the one round it was alive.

Anonymous wrote on 2017-09-11 10:44:08

Same here. "Any beast" doesnt work at all.

iLLuMNaTi wrote on 2017-09-05 23:48:53

If you put in a S/S Zandalari in the first slot, he can hit with Black Claw or Exposed Wounds before he gets swapped out because of his 341 speed. This will make this good strategy even better.

Leviticusmax wrote on 2017-09-06 01:57:34

This also works with an S/S spider with Brittle Webbing.

Stefania wrote on 2017-09-06 08:26:40

used a zandalari with 341 speed, used black claw, summit kid killed boss with simply stampede!
thanks for strat and thanks for this tip too :)
p.s. worked at 1st try ;)

Kamboozle wrote on 2017-09-06 08:34:45

Scalded Basilisk Hatchling also works. No extra damage but it can feign death and will be alive to help kill at the end if you need it.

Diokeeg wrote on 2017-09-10 15:02:29

Excellent!

Dakini wrote on 2017-09-09 15:21:39

Gave up with this team, might be an addon, no clue, fight just keeps terminating randomly

daedelusikarius wrote on 2017-09-06 03:54:47

Poison it to death. I used Icespine Hatchling 2,1,1, Terror Larva 2,1,2, Felspider 2,2,1
icespine takes the first blow gets knocked back. slot a poisoner type in slot 2, my terror larva hit with acidic goo, consume for heal and burrow to avoid and hit, bring back icespine or it get knocked in, he dies but try to get a puncture wound off, bring in felspider poison fang and puncture wound for the win.

Tsoonami wrote on 2017-09-05 13:47:30

I used Baby Elderhorn (first slot), Lost Netherpup (second slot) and Direhorn Runt (3rd slot). Your Direhorn should have the most HP. This line-up worked 4/5 times only failing if Bucky crits several times on his stampede against the Elderhorn.

Baby Elderhorn - pass
Direhorn Runt comes in.
Trihorn Shield then stampede. Netherpup forced in.
Maul then howl. Pup dies and Elderhorn is forced in.
Headbutt then trample. Elderhorn dies.
Use Trihorn charge to finish him off.
