The idea was to reduce RNG, where possible. It's still not quite guaranteed, but anything better than Demolish-dependant strategy, right?

Bottlenecks are still Blood in the Water, which can crit and 1-shot the Runt. Also Sandstorm adds moderate RNG to both sides with 10% miss.

Keep in mind that Megaladon for some reason is not affected by Sandstorm at all. It still does 390 dmg to all pets no matter what. If you fail because of too many misses, try applying Sandstorm only once.

After all the posts, I can't believe this worked as written on the very first try! O.o Very good strat, even if RNG.

i suggest you pass this tamer up. need 15 tamers and there are 19 out there, i am too stubborn to stop after I have started but I would like to save others the grief from RNG frustration. i can't get close on the Elemental family one, as i don't have a molten corgi, an H/P living sandling or a leveled ominous flame.

The only "easy ones" were the critter and aquatic and mech, but even those took attempts.

be smarter than i am ;)

THIS ONE WAS KILLING ME. Last try I kept KLRin till he died, then brought helper used gift swapped to quiraji till dead then helper gift and kept going till I won.

Multiple failures on this. HEAVILY RNG dependent. Honestly, I don't think this is a good fight to try getting the achievements on. Even with good RNG on the stuns, the last pet STILL killed my rotten little helper before I could kill him. Gift didn't do enough damage.

Had better luck switching up some orders (p/s runt, h/h guardling):

- As written until Guardling dies
- Bring in Rotten Little Helper --> Booby Trapped Present, then Greench's Gift, Ice Lance until Helper dies.
- Bring in Kun-Lai Runt and follow strat as written

This worked for me after the one above failed twice. Yes, only twice. I'm not very patient. On the other hand, definition of insanity . . .

Honestly Booby Trapped Present makes this fight 100x easier. I have no idea why they didn't put that in the strat.

Perfect strat, after the main one failed for me 5 or 6 times; in THIS strat, my Qiraji Guardling even got hit with a major crit on Chum's first hit that killed it before i even got a hit in, but i still won, It's the Booby-Trapped Present - that makes ALL the difference!

20 attempts without success (gave up at that point): P/S Kun-lai Runt, S/B Qiraji guardling. Either this is just insanely bad luck, or the breed of that guardling is worthless here.

My guardling is P/B, that might be a problem because P/B is already fast enough. S/B might be too weak.

Swapped in Anubisath Idol (1,1,2) instead - sandstorm and rupture on cd, crush filler - rest of the strat the same (with that same P/S Kun-Lai Runt), got it second attempt.

I used all 3 P/P and got it first try. Maybe luck. It felt deserved tho after all the failed attempts with other strats I've used on this guy.
