For this fight i used:

Anubisath idol for yeti: crush/ sandstorm/ deflection - Simply coz main attack for yeti is weak against huminoid
Water Waveling for mech: ice lance/frost nova/ tidal wave - tidal wave to destoy the turrets
Gilnean raven for beast: peck/ call darkness/ nocturnal strike - Again beast weak against flying

also tried with anubisah idol and kun-lai grunt - also Works with abit of pet changing coz of the stun from Deep freeze - used anubi for mech this time.

For this fight i used :

Twilight spider : open with brittle webbing, then poison spit and leech life. just spam leech life between refreshing both webbing & poison till Nairn dies.
Venus : Sunlight (be sure to do it after Stormoen called lightning) then poison lash and leech seed.
Pet Bombling : Open Summer with toxic smoke, then screeching gears and batter till he dies.

Hope this will help

The best combo against Shademaster Kiryn that I've found so far is a
Blitz/Deflection/Kick S/S Flayer Youngling(325 speed)(A 260 speed flayer will do fine also, but anything past 272 can kick the mech and go first)
Tidal Wave/Leech Seed Terrible Turnip
Demolish/Deflection Anubisath Idol

Just kick his Giant's Blood(which he uses on CD), grind him down with the Flayer and don't bother using Deflection.
Your Flayer should be at decent health when you reach the mech(600+ish), Deflect his first move(which is Call Lightning, Kick the turret(comes second) and just Blitz.
Once your flayer dies, Turnip uses Leech Seed and grinds him down with Wave also destroying the Turrets.
Your Turnip should win, but might die - not too much of a hassle if either happens.
Anubisath gets to nothing till after Prowl, Deflect and then just smash him.
You can also use Stoneskin since there is nothing to do in the first 3 rounds anyway.

Comment by Tyrtun

A Stitched pup (mini gluth) will beat Nairn and almost Stormoen before dying and then you can use your anubisath idol or a full mechanical to finish Summer.

Comment by 1144524

Here is the team I used, It consistently works, and often don't even need the 3rd pet

pet 1: restless shadeling .death decay, then shadow shock, never fails to take Naim down

pet 2:Terrible Turnip on Stormoen use Leech Seed then grind him down with Wave also destroying the Turrets. tried the terrible turnip as suggested by Madlax in this thread, awesome suggestion, thanks again.

pet 3: personal world destroyer or any pet you use to fight beast

Comment by Auraia

I used a combination of the other strats in these comments to win, and found it remarkably easy - thanks fellow commenters!

My team:
Amethyst Spiderling (Poison Spit, Brittle Webbing, Leech Life)
Terrible Turnip (Tidal Wave, Leech Seed, Sunlight)
Sunreaver Micro-Sentry (Fel Immolate, Haywire, Call Lightning)

Amethyst Spiderling first to easily down Nairn, start with Brittle Webbing, then Poison Spit, then use Leech Life on cooldown, keeping the webbing and poison up.

Terrible Turnip once Spiderling dies, wait to use Sunlight until after Stormoen casts Call Lightning. Use Leech Seed on cooldown, and Tidal Wave in between (or whenever you need to down a turret she casts). I actually found Tidal Wave to be remarkably useful in getting Summer down as well - he was at 400 by the time I downed Stormoen. That was a good thing, too, since earlier aoe attacks had messed up my Sunreaver down to 500 and I was worried he wasn't gonna make it. At the end, I allowed the Call Lightning to stay in order to better damage Summer in the back with the Turnip's Tidal Wave, but this can be a risky strat with RNG, so think carefully before doing it.

Sunreaver Micro-Sentry just acted as the cleanup crew, I cast one Call Lightning and Summer was down due to the earlier damage from the Tidal Waves. He now has 800 health, so is /maybe/ useable later if I get desperate.

Comment by 1126703

Amethyst spiderling, terrible turnip, and crow.

Use sunlight with turnip not submerge. I made that mistake on many attempts thinking it was better. Spider use poison, brittle webbing, and leech life. Crow use call darkness and nocturnal strike. He should die in two hits thanks to your turnips wave ability weakening him.

Comment by scottiegazelle

The attacks used the first time I've gone against this team (subsequent attempts will be used to verify, but feel free to comment if you go through a different pattern) are as follows:

Naim:

Round 1: Giants Blood (heals and increases damage)
Round 2: Call of Winter
Round 3: Nairn
Round 4: Naim
Rinse and repeat

Stormoen:

Round 1: Call Lightning
Round 2: Build Turret
Round 3: Batter
Round 4: Batter
Round 5: Build Turret
Round 6: Batter

Summer:

Round 1: Dodge
Round 2: Prowl
Round 3: Bite
Round 4: Bite
Round 5: Bite

Note that this team is NOT ideal for in-battle healing (ie swapping in the crawfish, popping Wish, and swapping in another pet); initially I thought Naim's first two attacks would allow for it, but Call Winter damages the entire team, not just the front-line pet.

Comment by AnotherDraeneiJC

Some folks seemed to be having trouble with this fight, but I found it relatively simple with the following set-up:

1) Tiny Sporebat (Shadow Slash, Creeping Fungus, Confusing Sting)

Mainly just keep Creeping Fungus up and Shadow Slash until Nairn is dead. I was able to put both a Sting and a Creeping Fungus up on Stormoen before my Sporebat died. DoTs are advantageous for this fight because of Call Lightning.

2) Emerald Shale Hatchling (Burn, Poison Spit, Stoneskin)

Put up Stoneskin first thing, and this will block the turret attacks. Then Poison Spit, and you will now have three DoTs up on Stormoen. Burn until dead.

3) Rabid Nut Varmint 5000 (Metal Fist, Extra Plating, Repair)

I got a hit or two in with my Emerald Shale Hatchling, but after he died, I just put up Extra Plating and used Metal Fist. Repair was not necessary, but it may be useful if something else goes wrong elsewhere in the fight.

Good luck!

Comment by 1147673

As we all see, Nairn is the most problematic one because of his AoE attack, and it's either drop him fast or force him out often. I went with the second option, and came up with two teams:

---TEAM 1

Kun-Lai Runt - Thrash (Takedown if P/P), Mangle, Deep Freeze
~~Fel Flame - Burn, Scorched Earth, Conflagrate~~
Lil' Ragnaros - Magma Wave, Conflagrate, Flamethrower
Darkmoon Zeppelin - Missile, Explode, Decoy

Credit goes to dlbert2000 for this change. Considering the suicidal role of the 2nd slot, you'll want a pet with the highest attack possible. Lil' Ragnaros is the best option here, but if you don't want to spend $10 then the Pandaren Fire Spirit has the same set of abilities and can work as a substitute.

Open with Mangle, then Thrash. Nairn will chill himself with Call of Winter in turn 2, so Deep Freeze next turn for a sure stun! Shademaster Kiryn won't let you hit her stunned pet though, so swap in Lil' Ragnaros to intercept Stormoen.

Stormoen will Call Lightning and Build Turret first 2 turns, counter with Flamethrower and Magma Wave, then Conflagrate to finish him off (if you use Pandaren Fire Spirit, go Flamethrower - Conflagrate - Magma Wave since it will go first). Nairn will be back, spam Magma Wave until Lil' Ragnaros dies, then send in Kun-Lai Runt and stun him again (be sure to let him cast Call of Winter first). Mangle Summer as he switches in, then swap to Darkmoon Zeppelin. Summer will still be busy setting up with Dodge and Prowl, so you won't take any swap damage.

Decoy right off the bat, then spam Missile. By the time your zeppelin attacks, Summer should no longer be able to Dodge, is slowed by Prowl (his attacks will be blocked so the buff won't be consumed) and takes extra damage with Mangle, all of which means he's easy prey. Explode probably isn't needed, but is there in case one or two Missiles miss. I was able to kill Summer in 2 hits and then Nairn in 2 hits afterwards because of the damage they already took from Magma Wave and, for the latter, Deep Freeze. Zeppelin had more than half health left and runt was almost full.

If your first Deep Freeze misses, just forfeit and heal up your pets using the Shademaster herself (she won't attack first turn), then try again. If your second Deep Freeze misses, no big deal, simply Thrash Nairn to oblivion, and swap to zeppelin as soon as Summer's in (don't Mangle him, he'll Dodge it). Also, I heard that using Takedown instead of Thrash will cause Nairn to last long enough for you to attempt a THIRD Deep Freeze, so if even that misses... then the RNG god has spoken; you'd best forfeit, heal up and then try again with another 2nd pet (or exit the tournament to revive Lil' Ragnaros if you haven't beaten other trainers). Using a Kun-Lai runt with some speed will most likely negate this possibility since you can use Thrash, a far superior choice to Takedown when coupled with Mangle and kill Nairn before he fires off too many Calls.

---TEAM 2

Ashstone Core
Crystal Spider
Darkmoon Zeppelin

Immediately force Nairn out with Crystal Prison, then wreck Stormoen with Stoneskin and Burn. When Nairn returns, simply spam Burn, don't Stoneskin, don't stun even if it is off cooldown; inflict as much damage as you can but don't delay him killing your AC. Use Crystal Spider to stun him, Leech Life Summer on the swap to regain some health, then send out your 3rd pet. Darkmoon Zeppelin stays because of its ability to block Prowl and go out with a bang, but a Mech with Extra Plating and a strong offensive combo can work just as well. Eventually it will be your Spider versus Nairn, and you should be able to outlast him with Brittle Webbing and Leech Life (stun him on cooldown too).

This strat deals less damage than the first and you lose two pets instead of one, but it is practically immune to bad RNG, even if you miss it's not that much of a detriment. Here's the results of my testing it out as of 2013/11/6: AC killed Stormoen with over 1000 health left, then brought Nairn to 1200 before going down (missed one Burn). Zeppelin missed one Missile, but killed Summer with 600 health left, and after Explode Nairn was left with a mere 112 health. Spider only went in to deliver the coup de grâce. Only one Call was seen, it came off cd but since my AC was low, Nairn! was used instead. RNG did try to screw me over (2 misses with 90% hit attacks) but failed doing so. First team is viable by all means, but this one is a surefire.

Comment by watermen

My New Strategy:
1. Use Murkalot - Start with RI

2. Creepy Crate - RI will bring in Creepy Crate, use Bone Storm

3. Terrible Turnip - Creepy Crate will die, by this time he has already done a lot team AOE dmg, switch back to Murkalot and use RI to bring in Terrible Turnip, use Sunlight.

4. You will most likely use Murkalot to finish off the last pet.

This strategy is far more reliable and not much RNG.

______________________________________________________________
Old Strategy : I used Amethyst Spiderling, Terrible Turnip and Menagerie Custodian.

Here is the order:
1. Amethyst Spiderling can take out Nairn, either they die together or the Spider die one round before.

2. Terrible Turnip can take out Stormoen, remember to cast Sunlight after he calls Lightning. Terrible Turnip die one round before he Stormoen die, as a result he casts another Lightning. Use this Lightning to your advantage for the next fight.

3. Bring Menagerie in, he can 1 shot Stormoen now, with Lightning on, you can deal extra dmg to Summer.

In this fight, on Menagerie will survive.

Comment by mmissman

I haven't seen this suggested anywhere yet, but Blossoming Ancient is a GREAT counter for Stormoen. Use Sunlight after Stormoen uses Call Lightning, keep up Photosynthesis at all times, and fill with Ironbark. Not only does Ironbark deal bonus damage against mechanicals, the damage reduction component completely negates the Turrets. :)

Hope someone finds this helpful!

Comment by Bigbreath

Crawling Claw and Lava Crab can 2m this quite easily - start with claw, CoD, Agony, Death Grip out the runt - this will leave the humanoid on the back row taking heavy damage from your DoT's. The beast should be swopped in from your Death Grip - by the time he prepares his attacks your DoT's should be off cooldown - Agony & CoD him too & Death Grip the humanoid back in. Reapply agony and this should spell the end of your Claw. Lava Crab - spam lava wave until both the beast (getting pounded on the back row from your DoT's) & humanoid drop; this just leaves the mech which is next to useless against your crab. Keep Shell Shield up and spam Burn until it dies. Your crab 'may' die - if so just use your third to finish off the mech.

Comment by 889819

My team:
Unborn Val'kyr (Shadow Shock, Curse of Doom, Unholy Ascension) I just spam Shadow Shock and beforge Val'kyr die I use Curse of Doom and Unholy Ascension.
Blossoming Ancient: ( Ironbark,Photosynthesis,Stun Seed) With Ironbark he is immune to the turret damage so with this pet, you can easly kill her mechanical pet.
Darkmoon Tonk:(Missile,Shock and Awe,Ion Cannon) I just use my Shock and Awe when I can and Spam my Missile, If im too close to die, I use my Ion Cannon and I won.

Comment by bbkr

The best opener for this fight is with Creepy Crate:

Agony
Death Grip (forces opponents pet swap and allows to avoid AOE)
Bonestorm (new pet will always be immune to first attack so background damage comes handy)

Nairn will be harmless in secondary line and with 50% HP left (assuming your pet is upgraded to rare). Repeat this sequence when he comes back into the fight.

Comment by 913880

I used the following setup and it worked pretty well!

Start with Creepy Crate: Agony, Death Grip, Bonestorm! ( this will be cast on the Beast and will miss him b/c of dodge mechanic, but hit the backline pets.--He will always pull the beast in. )

Use Cogblade Raptor, Overtune then Batter. Really you could use any Mech here. You can use overtune for the speed bonus even when he is dodging. When he is good and dead, and the Human comes out again. Pull out the Creepy Crate!

When that is done, his mech will come out. Don't worry, you can cast a Curse of Agony on him and Bonestorm again!

Lastly, pull out your Lil' Rangaros or Fel Flame. I liked Rag b/c I could Just pop Sons of the Flame. They are hitting him for extra since he is mech, and hitting even harder b/c he has his lightning storm weather out (from the Mech kitty). If it comes down to it, you could magma wave to get rid of his turret, or conflag him. I didn't even need to do that.

Comment by vespertino

Creepy crate: agony then death grip on Nairn (she will switch to Summer) use bone storm and one agony on Summer
Switch to Skywisp Moth: Call Lightening - Cocoon Strike - Slicing Wind (Summer should be dead by now)
Switch to Water Waveling: Tidal wave - Frost Nova - Ice Lance (if Nairn is not vaporised by now, one last ice lance should finish him off)

Thanks to the previous comments to get this one down. Skywisp was the only one I needed to beat her down.

Comment by 292829

I've used:

Kun-Lai Runt - Thrash (Takedown if P/P), Mangle, Deep Freeze
Terrible Turnip - Tidal Wave, Lich Seed, Sunlight
Amber Moth - Alpha Strike, Cocoon Strike, Moth Dust

My runt was 23lvl and still did the job.
Runt - use Thrash, Deep Freeze, Mangle - Shademaster will switch pets to robocat so Mangle will hit new pet - switch to Turnip.
Turnip - Sunlight to negate previous weather effect, Wave to destroy turret, then continue Wave and Seed on CD - Nairn is back; switch to Runt.
Runt - Thrash, Deep Freeze, Mangle - again Mangle will hit next pet - wolf - switch to Moth.
Moth - Alpha Strike or pass (wolf goes dodge), Alpha Strike (wolf goes prowl), Cocoon, Alpha Strike till killed - Nairn is back - Moth Dust + Alpha Strike till killed.
If Moth fails use Runt to kill Nairn at the end.

If everything is ok you should have all your 3 pets alive after this battle.

Comment by 873627

Feverbite Hatchling (P/P): Strike/ Brittle Webbing/ Leech Life
Blossoming Ancient: Ironbark/ Photosynthesis/ Sunlight
Warbot (P/P): Missile/X/Launch Rocket

*Seems that my Feverbite always has a small amount of health left. If that's the case, I let him stay and die for Call Lightning. Cast Brittle Webbing and a prayer, but it prob isn't necessary.

Blossoming is great for this fight, if you don't mind spending 10 bucks (I say worth it) because he shields all of the Turrets and a percentage of each Batter. Change the weather and Heal yourself as necessary. Truth told, if you want the fight to last a billion rounds, you can just use him against Summer as well.

I wait out the Turrets with my Blossoming Ancient, then switch to Warbot (or any Launch Rocket pet) so that he may build the Rocket while Dodge is up. Summer got 1-shotted. Only dead pet is spider.

Comment by 141924

Defeated using Unborn Val'kyr (Shadow Slash, Curse of Doom, Haunt), Creepy Crate (Agony, Death Grip, BONESTORM), and Terrible Turnip (Tidal Wave, Leech Seed, Sunlight).

Open with Unborn and apply Curse of Doom and Haunt on Nairn. Bring Creepy Crate in and apply Agony, then Death Grip, pulling in Summer. Use Bonestorm. Summer will dodge, but it will hit Nairn and Stormoen. Nairn will die. Swap back to Unborn Val'kyr while Stormoen's Dodge is still up. Use Haunt. Bring in Creepy Crate. You'll have two turns before Dodge comes off cooldown, enough time to apply Agony and then use Death Grip to pull in Stormoen. Apply Agony. Stormoen will kill your crate with Call Lightning. When you come back, use Bonestorm. Summer will die in the background. Stormoen should now be at half-health. Now bring in Unborn Val'kyr. Use Shadow Slash. Batter and Turret will kill you. When you come back, use Haunt. Haunt's first tick should kill Stormoen. When he comes back, finish him off with Turnip with Sunlight or Tidal Wave.

Theoretically, you can run with just Unborn Val'kyr and Creepy Crate. The combination of Doom, Haunt, Agony, Bonestorm, and swapping out their pets as the damage ticks in the background is enough to kill the entire team if you're extremely lucky (it's hard to reproduce, but I've done it). You'll want a third pet for when your Undead pets (finally) die though, so don't test it.

Comment by DonKorl

I don´t have many of the pets mentioned here so I used another tact and it worked quite well.

I used Stitched Pup, Shore Crab and Clockwork Gnome

For Nairn I used Stitched Pup and Howl - Diseased Bite - Diseased Bite - Diseased Bite.

For Stormoen (which used to wreck me) I stayed with the pup and Howl - bite til the pup died. Then switch to crab and use shield to neglect turrets and storm.

For Summer I used the crab til it died and switched to Clockwork Gnome which only had to use 1 Metal Fist.

(First post)

Comment by PriestessAur

My strat is taken mostly from the ideas of others on this page but with my own twist.
I chose to use Lil' K.T. for this. I know this is a store pet so not everyone will have it. The Valkyr will also work, but I chose K.T. so I could use Siphon Life. Also Landro's Lichling is the same pet as Lil' K.T. but is a TCG pet.

Lil K.T. - Shadow Slash, Siphon Life, Curse of Doom
Terrible Turnip - Tidal Wave, Leech Seed, Sons of the Root
Darkmoon Zeppelin - Missile, Bombing Run, Decoy

Start with Curse of Doom, put up Siphon, and use Shadow Slash. Reapply Siphon when it has one round left and keep using Slash. Nairn should die during the undead round. When Stormoen comes in, apply Curse.
Swap to Turnip, put up Leech Seed then use Sons of the Root. Storm will die to his turrets and Curse while the Turnip is submerged. When Summer comes up, use Tidal Wave to destroy the remaining turrets, then swap to the Zeppelin. Don't try to play out the Turnip.
Summer will cast Prowl, and you cast Decoy. This will completely negate his extra damage. Next use Bombing Run, and then spam Missile until Summer is dead.

Comment by Amatheiya

I'm not sure if I put this together myself or read it somewhere, but if it helps another...
This is my team
Ghostly Skull
Shadow Slash
Spectral Strike
Unholy Ascension

Pandaren Fire Spirit
Magma Wave
Immolate
Conflagurate

Lil Bling
SMACKTHAT.EXE
Blingatron Gift Package
Make It Rain

Skull goes first with a slash, strike, then slash till death round, when unholy ascension is used.

Fire is next with immolate, wave till you know conflagurate will kill and kill the pop up.

Bling now comes in and starts off with make it rain. Save your gift till he dodges to guarantee a heal, and smackthat.exe till dead. (love that ability name!)

Good Luck!

Comment by Vulpixie

My team:
Kun-Lai Runt - Takedown, Mangle, Deep Freeze
Lil' Ragnaros - Magma Wave, Conflagrate, Flamethrower
Rocket Chicken (Warbot also acceptable) - Missile, Toxic Smoke, Extra Plating

Hope it helps!

Comment by Blacktank

Stitched pup simply eats Nairn. I switched to Terrible turnip when Stormoen came in, which eats him alive as well. Summer killed Terrible turnip. Stiched pup finished Summer.

Comment by 1034014

My setup for this fight was using a Stitched Pup, Blossoming Ancient, and Lil' XT, but if you don't have/ don't want to spend the $20 on store pets, other comments on this page have provided great alternatives.

For Nairn, bring out the Pup and use Howl, then Plagued Blood, then 2 Diseased Bites and Nairn will drop like a sack of bricks.

For Stormoen, use the Ancient. Use Sunlight to counter her Call Lightning, and cackle maniacally as the turrets' feeble bullets bounce harmlessly off your ent's Ironbark. Keep Photosynthesis up at all times.

For Summer, swap to Lil' XT. Really, any mechanical pet with a hard-hitting spammable mechanical attack will do here, as the Ancient's Sunlight has already softened the direwolf up. Just spam Zap or whatever your chosen pet's ability is until Summer falls.

Easy peasy, and you didn't lose a single pet in the process!

Comment by Sospitatrix

Seeing I own a Kun-Lai Runt who seems to miss Deep Freeze at times like these (due to an anxiety issue we haven't worked out yet I guess... ;) ), I had to pick another team. I have tried it a few times with the following team:

- Kun-Lai Runt
- Lil' Ragnaros
- Darkmoon Zeppelin

But every time something went wrong... So I was forced to try something else. I thought it was a longshot, but it has never failed to this point (but fingers crossed!). I used pets to change the weather type or profit from the weather type they make it. The team I used:

- Winter's little helper: ice lance, call blizzard, ice tomb
- Terrible turnip: tidal wave, leech seed, sunlight
- Gilnean Raven: call darkness, nocturnal strike (actually didn't really need this one)

First use Winter's little helper and profit from the weather as your ice lance does more damage in the blizzard weather type. You can start with Ice Tomb and then keep on spamming Ice Lance until Nairn gets stunned from Ice Tomb. (Make sure you use ice lance when the weather is Blizzard, or switch weather type yourself.)

Switch to Terrible turnip. use leech seed when you can, use sunlight to change the weather when Stormoen casts lightning storm, use tidal wave to kill the turrets (and when the other attacks are on cooldown of course...) Tidal wave will also do damage to his backline pets, that's another advantage.

When Stormoen dies, Nairn comes back. Switch back to Winter's Little Helper and kill him off with ice lance (may cost you a couple of times).

The Shademaster brings in Summer; he might be below half of his health at this point. You can keep Blizzard up and keep on casting Ice Lance. If that doesn't kill him, bring in your Gilnean Raven and use Call Darkness and next Nocturnal Strike. (NOTE: Make sure Summer doesn't have Dodge up when you cast Nocturnal Strike!)

Hope this helps!

Comment by Utharkruna

I've been playing around with this tamer in the Celestial Tournament for a bit now.

Traditionally I've used: Harbinger of Flame, Crow with Menagerie Custodian.
Found this could go either way and I wanted Crow for the Wise Mari battle.
(I know you can heal off Wise Mari before you battle for real but that seems like a loop-hole that Blizz might close and wanted to remove it from the equation).

So I've tried two new approaches which work well and the pets don't conflict with any other battles in the teams I've defined for this CT rotation.

All teams are subjective and we don't all have the same pets, but that's OK. Everyone has to work with what they have so these are really ideas that have been proof read so to speak.

=====================================================================

Option 1:

Blighthawk :
Fel Flame :
Dread Hatchling :

Battle Order: Open with > > as a killing blow (as its stuns your pet). Stormeon enters Blighthawk takes a few hits before dying.
Fel Flame enters > changes weather (Negates Stormeon's Weather) >
> > 4tw...

Notes: Blighthawk and Fel Flame will die -but they definitely get the job done and you hold the initiative for fighting 'Summer'. The object is to win so in this sense this strategy works. You can also swop Conflagrate for Flame Breath if you want.

Option 2:

Stitched Pup: *Optional
Searing Scorchling:
Dread Hatchling:

Battle Order: > Howl > 4tw > (Stormeon enters) > Howl (dies). Stormeon is Damage debuffed for two hits now
Swop to Scorchling > 4tw... (dies)
Swop to Dread Hatchling > > 4tw...

Notes: Again the objective here isn't to preserve the life of individual pets they are pawns and die so you can win the battle! You'll probably get a couple of hits on Stormeon before you "die" so keep your as your final attack to ensure that Stormeon is Damage debuffed for 2 turns.

Its not important that Narin hits for undead against the Blighthawk or Stitched Pup. They are hitting him for huge damage and ultimately overpower him.

Good Luck!

Comment by IMissThottbot

Tyrtun suggested a Stitched Pup.

Using that I came up with this, which works beautifully:

Stitched Pup (Diseased Bite, Howl, Plagued Blood)
Ominous Flame (Burn, Scorched Earth, Conflagrate)
Wild Jade Hatchling (Tail Sweep, Call Lightning, Lift-Off)

Start with Stitched Pup. Plagued Blood, Howl, Diseased Bite spam until it dies. Continue on Stormoen. Swap to Ominous Flame when the Pup dies. Use Scorched Earth to change the weather, then Conflagrate, and burn spam; a well-timed Conflagrate can actually kill Stormeon "twice"--before the mechanical res, then after. When Summer comes out, WAIT until dodge is up before using anything heavy-hitting. Finish with Wild Jade Hatchling: lift-Off can be used to avoid Summer's Dodge turn; Call Lightning when Dodge is NOT up, and use Tail Sweep for the double Lightning hits to finish Summer off.

Comment by Kriipsu

I have successfully used Willy against Nairn

1. Interrupting Gaze
2. Rot
3. Tongue Lash until Nairn dies

Comment by 160411

I always like to find fights where my Enchanted Broom is useful, and this is one.

Use Stitched Pup or Blighthawk to take out Nairn, then use a broom with Broom, Sandstorm and Wind-Up. Standstorm makes Stormoen do near-zero damage so you can broom him to death, then when Summer comes out, use Wind-Up on his dodge turn. Batting clean-up I used Pterrordax Hatchling because I could use both the heal and lift-off on the dodge turns depending on what felt more important.

Comment by 884020

Kun-Lai Runt
Terrible Turnip
And any random mechanical pet you would use to take down a beast

Whenever Nairn uses Call of Winter just wack him with Deep Freeze
With Nairn stunned Stormoen will come out.
Switch over to your Terrible Turnip
Use Tidal Wave to get rid of those pesky turrets.
Then use Sons Of the Root, this is your key move, you should take out Stormoen. with one bout of Sons of the Root
After hes dead just employ basic tactics, and aside from some bad RNG you should be alright.

Comment by 1373777

With this fight, you want to keep Nairn from unloading. He gains more power with each "Nairn" cry, so keep him swapped out. Also, for Stormeon, it's good to have a pet that can block or destroy the turret attacks with something like Ironbark, Spiked Skin, or Wave.

I beat Kiryn with the following:

Kun-Lai Runt
Blossoming Ancient
Lil' Bling (Although any robo would probably work well)

First - Kun-Lai Runt - Freeze then stun

Kiryn will put Stormeon in. I put in Blossoming Ancient. Put Ironbark up and keep it up. This will block the attacks from Stormeon's turrets. Rotate Sunlight and Autumn Breeze. You can go a round without using Ironbark - just get it back in for the next round. I haven't used Photosynthesis, as I find AB works well enough and heals backline pets who have taken damage from Nairn.

After Stormeon goes down, Nairn will be back. Keep Blossoming Ancient up until it dies. You should get 3-5 rounds, so the turrets should be gone.

Put Kun-Lai Runt back in. Freeze and stun. If Nairn has popped Call Blizzard, he'll already be chilled, so just stun.

Summer comes in. I think any robo-pet would work. I used Lil' Bling. Should take care of Summer. Nairn will come back in. Use the robopet until it goes down.

Put in Kun-Lai runt. Freeze (if needed), Stun, and Takedown. Nairn is usually fairly low at this point...I took him down after one Freeze and TD.

Hope this helps!

Comment by 345549

Got more or less reliable strategy using only two pets, but it requires store pet and not making a single miss.
- Crawling Claw; Shadow Slash, Death Grip, Curse of Doom.
- Blossoming Ancient; Ironbark, Photosynthesis, Sunlight.
Start with Claw, use Doom, Slash, and Death Grip. Skip two turns(enemy pet has Dodge active), Shadow slash until Curse of Doom becomes available; use it, then Death Grip. If everything is right, you will send Doom'ed Summer into the backline; revealing Nairn, which you must finish with Shadow Slash at paw's immortal round. Kyrin will bring out Stormen, you bring out Blossoming ancient, and use Sunlight. You will instanly override his Storm, dealing damage to the Summer in the backline. After that, use Ironbark-Photosynthesis-Ironbark, and use Ironbark until Sunlight comes off CD. Stormen will again cast Storm first and you will override him again, killing Summer in the backline. Sttormen won't live long after that under your attacks.

After looking at several 3-Pet strategies that were no good for me trying to take her down with an Elekk Plushie on my team for An Awfully Big Adventure... I cannot find a way this could not be handled without Blossoming Ancient (which I don't have) or Lil' Ragnaros (which I do have).

For Lil' Ragnaros, a mechanical with Quake (or XT's Tantrum) will round things out. You could use an elemental with Quake, but I feel like the free turn of life from the mechanical passive will be important vs the yeti.

Lil' Ragnaros does major work here though.
- Turn 1: Magma Trap
- Turn 2: Magma Wave (detonating the trap, causing her to switch in her fluxfire)
- Turn 3 until Rag dies: Magma Wave
- After Rag dies: Mechanical uses Quake/Tantrum until only Nairn is left, then finishes with a different attack, if necessary.

You'll rack up massive damage to her entire team thanks to the Call Lightning, and her wolf will simply die off in the backline. For bonus points, she will waste a turn every few turns trying to set up turrets, which Magma Wave destroys.

Once Rag dies, the fluxfire should be dead or about 1 turn off dead. Her luck with Batter will make or break this, I'm sure if she got constant 3-hit Betters, then you'd narrowly lose. But excessive RNG can break a lot of strategies, and I had no problem executing this in 1 attempt, without my mechanical's passive even triggering.

Doing this with an Elekk Plushie, and no store pets.

1) Stiched Pup against Nairn. Howl, and spam Diseased Bite till Nairn dies.
2) Switch to Terrible Turnip when Stormoen comes. First Leech Seed, then Sons of the Root. Spam Tidal Wave and Leech Seed on cd after you emerge.
3) Switch to Elekk when Summer comes and soak his big first Bite and his second bite.After his Second bite switch back to Turnip and Sons of the Root again. Leech and Wave untill Turnip dies.
4) Sitched Pup comes in. Howl and Bite. (Make sure it's not his Dodge turn and your Howl hits, use Consume Corpse if it's dodge turn).

Some people wrote on comments they fail with this. As both Stiched Pup and Turnip has no other breed alternatives, I can only think it's about some unlucky crits. Make sure you soak TWO hits from Summer with Elekk Plushie.

Comment by Neutralagent

I've successfully 2 Pet this for An Awfully Big Adventure with this team. Nairn should die in the backline to the dots after being stunned in round 3 and switching out.

Unborn Val'kyr - 1 2 1
Tiny Snowman - 1 1 2
Elekk Plushie

Round 1: Curse of Doom
Round 2: Haunt
Switch to Tiny Snowman when Val'kyr "dies"
Round 3: Deep Freeze (Nairn has already called Blizzard)
Round 4: Snowball
Round 5: Snowball
Round 6: Call Blizzard (To Counter Call Lightning)
Round 7+: Snowball until Stormoen dies
Next Round: Call Blizzard (Will probably be blocked)
Tiny Snowman will probably die shortly after this, at which point you swap back to Unborn Valk'yr and keep hitting it with Shadow Slash. Even if your Val'kyr dies, it has that extra time to finish the pet off leaving your Elekk still up. You could also use this to level a pet provided it can take a hit (Since leveling pets need to enter for a round).

Comment by divinesoul

I tried various 2 pet teams for the An Awfully Big Adventure (Elekk Plushie achievement) and was coming up short on almost all ends. This worked wonders for me once I had pulled all my hair out!

Tiny Sporebat Shadow Slash, Creeping Fungus, Confusing Sting (2, 1, 2)
Tiny Snowman Snowball, Call Blizzard, Deep Freeze (1, 1, 2)

Starting with Nairn
Creeping Fungus
Switch to Tiny Snowman
Deep Freeze

For Stormoen-
Snowball
Snowball
Call Blizzard
Snowball until Stormoen is dead

Nairn will return this round-
Deep Freeze

Summer swaps in-
Call Blizzard
Snowball until your Tiny Snowman dies
Switch to Tiny Sporebat
Shadow Slash until Summer is dead

Nairn one last time
Shadow Slash until Nairn is dead

Comment by Guanyin

Beaten with my Unborn Val'kyr (Curse of Doom, Haunt) and Blossoming Ancient (Ironbark, Autumn Breeze, Stun Seed), leaving room for the Elekk Plushie. Start of with the Val'kyr, Curse, then Haunt. Swap to Ancient, Stun, then Breeze. Now you can spam Ironbark, Nairn will be moved back because of the stun and because of Ironbark, you effectively ignore the turrets. Breeze on cooldown, otherwise Ironbark. Once Stormoen is dead, either Breeze if it's off cooldown, or swap to your plushie to soak Summer's first hit. Back to the Val'kyrie (use Itchin' for a Stitchin') Curse, then Haunt. Now your Ancient just has to last, so once again, Ironbark and Breeze on cooldown.

Comment by 1418208

This fight was kicking my booty. I either didn't have the pets suggested, already used them in another fight, or just kept having bad RNG luck. Rather than start from scratch I tried a few combos till this one got it. Not repeat tested, but for what it's worth:

Twilight Fiendling - creepy chomp, creeping ooze, siphon life

Frigid Frostling - ice lance, frost nova, ice tomb

Sunreaver Micro-Sentry - fell immolate, haywire, call lightning

Good luck.

Comment by Zatie

Ok, here's the team I had. I couldn't really use any of the other strategies because I didn't have the requisite pets.

Crawling Claw (agony/death grip/curse of doom)
Thundertail Flapper (jolt/lightning shield/thunderbolt)
Netherwhelp (I know he's kind of rare, but all you really need is a pet with phase shift)

Start with crawling claw, cast curse of doom, then agony, then death grip. Summer will come in.

Summer will phase shift. Spam agony until it hits him. By that time, curse of doom should be up - use it. At this point, Crawling Claw may die, but will come back with undead ability. As last attack, death grip - you will get the Yeti back out. If you have another attack, cast agony.

Bring out Thundertail Flapper. Yeti will heal. Cast thunderbolt. Yeti re-blizzards. Cast jolt. Yeti dies. At this point, Summer should be near dead. Mechanocat comes out.

Cast lightning shield. You may lose a turn because Thundertail Flapper will be out of usable moves. No big. Just pass. Because the mechanocat will attack and do the damage to herself. If you get a chance, use jolt when it comes up.

At this point, everyone will likely be dead except for Summer and your phase shift pet. Cast phase shift. You should dodge all of the turret shots and Summer's attack. Use whatever attack will do the most damage and be guaranteed to hit because you'll only get that one attack and it will have to kill Summer.

Good luck!

Comment by auschameleon

For An Awfully Big Adventure I used
Unborn Val'Kyr 2,2,1
Anubisath Idol 1,1,1
Elekk Plushy (or carry)

Start wtih Val'kyr
Curse of Doom
Haunt

Swap to Idol
Crush til 1st pet is dead. You can use Sandstorm after his first call of winter, but make sure you have it available for 2nd pet.
He will swap to cat pet.
Deflect
Sandstorm
This is the fun bit, you take no dmg from the turrets so just continue to crush and kill.

Crush/deflect on cd do whatever to use up the turrets before you switch back to Val'kyr to finish off third pet.

I didn't have the other pets needed for the other strats for this fight, this is a little bit RNGish, but using the Val'kyr first helps make sure you can survive rng through first pet to get to 2nd.

Comment by 121066

For An Awfully Big Adventure I used:

After trying many of the strategies here that didn't go that well for me
(Anubisath sandstorm for some reason didn't effect the torrents, snowman/Winter's Little Helper was too RNG, or I didn't have the needed pets at maxed level), I went for a combination I came up with:

Unborn Val'Kyr 2,2,1
Blossoming Ancient 2,2,2
Elekk Plushy (or carry)

Strategy:
Start with Val'kyr
1. curse of doom
2. Haunt

After haunt, switch to Blossoming Ancient, use Photosynthesis and then Ironbark (wait until the enemy pet will use the healing ability, and after that use Sunlight)

After a few Ironbarks, the first pet should be dead.

On the second pet (Stormoen) you'd want to "tank and spank" him, and make sure that the weather is Sunlight
So, keep using Blossoming Ancient:
Priority:
Sunlight up (better to use right after lightning storm)
Photosynthesis (make sure to use it after it ends, and not when it got 1 round left)
Ironbark spam (the 74 damage reduction from each hit negates the torrents completely and reduces the damage from Stormoen's attacks.

Once he's dead, we're going to fight the third pet, Summer.
Summer will use dodge right on the first round, then use prowl and then use Bite.
What I did was, refreshing Sunlight and Photosynthesis (which gave my Blossoming Ancient a lot of life back), switched to my Elekk Plushie so that he will take the damage from the Bite (that will be affected from Prowl), then if the timing is right, switch to the val'kyr, cast Curse of Doom and Haunt (if Summer don't have the dodge ready or being active, as Summer will be faster than you) and then switch back to the Blossoming Ancient, (at this point I had like 1700~ hp), refresh the buffs, and Ironbark it to death.

Killed him on first try with my strategy, I hope it helps you guys

P.S:

I hope there's less-to-no RNG in my strategy, as it worked smoothly for me.

P.S.S:

I saw this youtube video in case you want another alternative that looks good:

Here is a 2 pet strategy. I tried to use pets that you can find easy! https://youtu.be/fecgkbxyTFc

Comment by 1456526

For those having trouble finding an Elekk plushie team I -barely- beat it with:

Creepy Crate 2, 1, 2
Darkmoon Zeppelin 1, 1, 1

Seems unreliable but I did not have a tiny snowman so I had to keep trying different things. Good luck.

Comment by Purgatorywolf

Amethyst Spiderling
Brittle Webbing
Swarm
Strike x2
Brittle Webbing
Strike
Swarm - Nairn Should Die - Out comes Stormoen
Brittle Webbing - Spider Should Die

Soul of the Forge
Extra Plating
Flamethrower
Deep Burn - Stormoen Should Die - Out Comes Summer
Flamethrower/Deep Burn - Will waste the Dodge on Summer and Soul will Die

Servent of Demidos
Soul Rush
Siphon
Magic Sword x3 - two to eat the dodge, third should kill

Comment by 348917

Since I didn't have most of the pets that other strategies suggest, I tried a bunch of different things until I found one that worked. It does rely a bit on chance.
I used Murkalot with Punish/Falling Murloc/Shieldstorm, Blossoming Ancient with Ironbark/Photosynthesis/Sunlight and Clockwork Gnome with Metal Fist/Repair/Launch Rocket.

Comment by Netcownt

2-Pet Battle for Elekk, after trying known combos, I wanted to use a self-made combo of my 25-pets, not wishing to level a lowbie pet like snowman only for this battle.

So I went with:

Pet 1: Unborn Val'kyr

Using Val'kyr is important for this fight, because of the Blizzard, but as val'kyr is dead most of the time, it gets no icy dmg.

Steps: Doom, Haunt, switch to

Pet 2: Crimson Shale Hatchling.

This pet heals w/ Leech Life, double if using Web, and Stoneskin to reduce damage.

All you have to do is keep Stoneskin Up (prio 1), then Web (prio 2), then Leech Life.

This will enable you to defeat Nairn quickly (Leech is ++ against Humanoids) and then Stormoen, doing exactly the same thing (Stormeon abilites are -- against elementals and the turrets do 0 dmg to us because of the stoneskin).

Meanwhile Val'kyr will wake up but don't bother until the beast Summer comes up and destroys your Hatchling.

At this moment Summer has 90%-100% hp and your Valk'yr as well. It looks a lost battle but it's NOT.

All you have to do is watchout for the Dodge and Shadow through it, don't waste Doom if Dodge is off CD. Ideally after you set a Doom, you could Haunt, then switch to your Elekk and wait for the beast to die from the 2 dots.
That's what I wanted to do.
But the beast dodged my Haunt, so I had to keep Shadow Shockin it and it died well before Val'kyr died.

First time I used this combo, I won, and I felt in control, not being handled by RNG.

Tried again just to make sure it's robust, and it is. No problem whatsoever.
This second time, I skipped Haunt and simply spammed Shadow Shock after dotting the Doom.
No problems.

This is a WIN combo.

Comment by madmadchen

This is a really, really tight strategy, but I didn't have the exact combination of any of these that anyone suggested for An Awfully Big Adventure.

Creepy Crate with Agony, Death Grip, BONESTORM;
Terrible Turnip with Weakening Blow, Leech Seed, Sunlight;
Elekk Plushie with at least Itchin' for a Stitchin'. (Note: pet ability ID for this is 1337. Teehee.)

As noted by bbkr, these first three opening moves take Nairn down a ton.
Agony
Death Grip <-- Summer swaps in
Bonestorm
Swap plushie in while Summer Prowls
Itchin' for a Stitchin' <-- this will swap Creepy Crate back in.
Agony
Bonestorm <-- does more important damage to Nairn

... and here I forgot to track it, but prioritizing bonestorm was important, and using plushie to soak big hits.

Comment by Magekin

I had trouble with Shademaster Kiryn, not having read some of the more recent strategies. For anyone wanting yet another (less elegant) solution I offer the following:

She starts with Nairn, a humanoid, and there are 2 main problems with the fight:
1. Nairn will cast Blizzard as many times as it can, which damages all your pets, especially any mechanicals you hoped to use against the 3rd pet, her beast. If allowed, she will damage mechs so bad that they're useless when you get to the beast.
2. Stormoen has that tough combo of lightning storm and turrets, which puts out fearsome amounts of damage with the multiple turret attacks.

I countered with:

Crimson Geode (rare 25) cast elementium bolt, feedback, then overload and WHAM! the already strong bolt hits with double power. Another feedback should finish off Nairn with only 1 blizzard having been cast. BTW rare crimson geode at 25 is faster than Nairn, who has power 413 and speed 272.

Terrible Turnip 25: again, faster than Stormoen. Start with Sunlight to erase the Lightning Storm, then tidal wave to clear the turret he just built. I only cast one leech seed; otherwise it was tidal wave (which not only clears the turrets but damages beast #3 as well, and Sunlight every time he cast lightning storm. Easy.

Darkmoon Zeppelin (various mechanicals should work at this point). Even though I screwed up my strategy a bit, it was still an easy win by now. Decoy, missiles, bombing run (I think I finished the fight using only missiles).

Two pet strat, works pretty well!
Weebomination with Cleave, Death Grip and Corpse Explosion
Crimson Shale Hatchling with Leech Life, Sticky Web, Stoneskin
Elekk Plushie

- Death Grip Nairn
- Summer comes in
- Cleave until you die
- Use Corpse Explosion on your undead round
- Bring in Crimson Shale Hatchling
- Stoneskin on cooldown
- Sticky Web and Leech Life until Summer dies (Summer will sometimes dodge but keep up the rotation)
- Nairn comes back in
- Sticky Web and Leech Life, refreshing Stoneskin, until Nairn dies
- Stormoen comes in
- Stoneskin on cooldown, Sticky Web and Leech Life until Stormoen dies

Comment by dillybar

My Elekk Plushie team:

Lil' Ragnaros (ELE) 2-1-2 (3rd slot won't matter)
Warbot (MEC) 1-2-1 (3rd slot won't matter)
Elekk Plushie

Nairn (HUM) - Start with Magma Trap (2)
Use Magma Wave (1), will detonate trap, causing enough damage to swap out to Stormoen (MEC)
Spam Magma Wave (1), use Magma Trap (2) on cd. When Stormoen dies, Nairn will swap back in.
Spam Magma Wave (1) till Lil' Ragnaros dies.
Warbot: Use Minefield (2), then Missile (1) till Nairn is dead.
When Summer (BEA) swaps in, all those Magma Waves should have his health low enough that Minefield's detonation kills him.

Now, this was my only attempt and it worked well. I will update this as I go if I need to, so please be patient with downvotes, I will critique if need be, comment instead if you could, thanks!

Comment by frakbt

For those who (like me) forget the rotation each week, here's a short note you can copy to remind yourself. "x" = repeat.

Unborn Val'kyr 1/2/1
Tiny Snowman 1/1/2

A: 2,3
B: 3,1,1,2cd,1x
>Summer
B: 2,3
A: 1x

Comment by Twinsen21

Words cannot describe how much I hate this fight with the Elekk, since I don't have Tiny Snowman and 95% of the at least somewhat successful tactics seems to use him I'm screwed here, I've tried so many combinations but this tamer is just disgusting.

Comment by fendred

Didn't have the right pets for any of the above strats for An Awfully Big Adventure so I managed to do it with
Zandalari Anklerender 2,2,2
Clockwork Gnome 1,1,1
Elekk Plushie 2,2,2 (level 25 or slightly lower with rare upgrade required for this strat)

Start with Anklerender against Nairn
- Black Claw
- Hunting Party
- Primal Cry
- Nairn dies, Stormoen comes in
- Black Claw
- Anklerender dies, bring in Gnome
- Build Turret
- Switch to Plushie
Stormoen dies, Summer comes in. At this point just spam Cute as a Button for the dodge buff until Plushie dies (you will still get credit with a dead Plushie on your team). Summer will be using a dodge buff and not much will seem to be happening, but right as your Plushie dies, your Gnome's turret should land it's last volley onto Summer, with Stormoen's lightening storm still active. Bring in your Gnome.
- Metal Fist
- Metal Fist
- You Win!

It might be possible to land a repair with your Gnome without bringing Plushie in, but I couldn't quite get it to work.

Comment by daaani

Lil' Ragnaros (Magma Wave / Magma Trap / Sons of the Flame)
Darkmoon Zeppelin (Missile / Bombing Run / Decoy)
Elekk OR Low Level (that can take 540 Damage)

*** THIS has been verified over and over again - it works like a Champ!

M Trap > M Wave > Nairn will SWAP
M Wave x2 (TILL Lightning Storm) > Sons of Flame > M Wave > Stormo DIES
M Trap > M Wave > Nairn will SWAP
M Wave x2 ! > Zep SWAP
Decoy (for Prowl) > LOW Lvl SWAP (stil under block) > and Zep SWAP
Missile x3 > Bomb Run > Summer DIES
Missile > Missile > Decoy > Missile > Nairn DIES

** Can't use a LVL 1 (for the low level) > it needs to be able to take 540 DMG (like a LVL 10 Fly) from Nairn's Call of Winter

Comment by 842762

For the achivment An Awfully Big Adventure I used:

Zandalari Kneebiter
Fel Flame

Zandalari Kneebiter can easily own Yeti without using more that 200 hp.
After that switch to fel flame, he should be able to take care of the cat.
Afterwards, when Fel Flame dies from the third pet, use Kneebiters Black Claw and Hunting Part, the damage the wolf will receive from flame will skyrocket. (but he will probably die due to Hunting Party)

Comment by Shreddaa

After many failed attempts, I was able to sloppily defeat Kiryn with the below set-up:

Sister of Temptation (1,1,1)
Tiny Shale Spider (1,1,2)
Darkmoon Tonk (1,1,1)

Next time I run this I will pay more attention to the order in which I used the attacks but wanted to throw this team out there in case anyone else is struggling and does not have the preferred pets mentioned in the other comments.

Good luck!

Comment by Tyrtun

Easy elekk plushie strategy:

Pets:

- Unborn Val'kyr: 1/2/1
- Crazy Carrot :2/1/2
- Plushie

Start with Val'kyr:

Turn 1: Curse of doom
Turn 2: Haunt

Switch to Crazy Carrot

Turn 1: Use Bash and and stormoen will get into battle:
Turn 2: Ironbark - stormoen will use Call lightning
Turn 3: Acidic rain
Turn 4: Ironbark until stormoen dies. (Ironbark will block turret damage)

If Nairn is still alive finish him with 1 hit of ironbark

Summer enters the battle:

Turn 1: Use ironbark or acidic rain, Summer will dodge it.
Turn 2: Same or pass.
Turn 3: Bash, you will interrupt prowl.

Keep doing this until Crazy carrot dies and finish Summer with your full health val'kyr!

Comment by roeevv

2 pet strategy:

Ashstone Core - Burn, Stoneskin, Crystal Prison
Teroclaw Hatchling - Alpha Strike, Dodge, Nature's Ward

open with Ashstone:
1. Stoneskin > Crystal Prison > Burn ( Nairn will switch, and Burn hits Stormoen)
2. Burn > Burn > Stoneskin > Burn > Burn (Stormoen dies twice, and Nairn is back)
3. Stoneskin > Crystal Prison > Burn ( Nairn will switch, and Burn hits Summer)
4. switch to Teroclaw
5. Heal > Dodge > Alpha > Alpha (cast heal if Summer casts dodge again)
6. Summer is dead and Nairn is back, switch to Ashstone.
7. Stoneskin > Crystal Prison > Burn > Burn, until your pet dies - then bring back Teroclaw.

The priorities from here:
- keep heal up and Alpha strike him
- Time your Dodge to when his Blizzard and self heal are on CD (and hes about to strike in melee).

You could also put a reasonable leveler during the last phase.

Good luck.

Comment by Baanos

Hey guys, I had no fancy pets for the Elekk Plushie achievement, so after trying for over an hour I managed to do it with a Kun-Lai Runt and a Fel Flame.

There's a lot of RNG involved due to this fight being long, so it might not happen exactly as I stated, but it worked for me in 6/6 attempts. Also, make sure you got the right breeds and rarity.

The Team:

Kun-Lai Runt (2,2,2) (P/S)
Fel Flame 1,2,1 (H/S)
Level 25 Rare Elekk Plushie

The Fight (first part):

Takedown
Takedown
Deep Freeze
Switch to Fel Flame
Burn
Scorched Earth
Conflagrate, Stormoen's hp should drop to zero
Burn

Stormoen dies.

The Fight (second part):

Nairn comes back out
Burn
Scorched Earth
Fel Flame dies (if not, Burn again)
Take Kun-Lai Runt
Deep Freeze
Takedown

The Fight (third part):

Summer comes out and takes the hit
Switch to Elekk Plushie
Pass
Itchin' for a Stitchin'
Deep Freeze
Takedown
Nairn comes out
Takedown 4 times in a row

Nairn dies (if he doesn't, use Takedown until you can Deep Freeze him again).

The Fight (final part):

Switch to Elekk Plushie
Pass
Itchin' for a Stitchin'
Bring Kun-Lai Runt out
Deep Freeze
Takedown
Switch to Elekk Plushie
Pass
Itchin' for a Stitchin' (if dead, proceed to next step anyway)
Get Kun-Lai Runt out and Takedown for the win

Note: If the fight doesn't go exactly as planned, make sure you use Deep Freeze only when Blizzard is up or enemy is chilled and make sure to not Deep Freeze when Summer's Dodge is off cooldown.

Sister of temptation (1,1,1) as described by roeevv
Fel Flame (1,2,1) as described by baanos
Elekk Plushie (x,x,x)
worked perfectly for An Awfully Big Adventure - though I didn't switch in the plushie, just let Sister of Temptation attack until she died.

Comment by Yoduh

my team:
Zandalari Anklerender 2/1/2
Surger 2/2/2
Iron Starlette 1/1/1

vs. Nairn: black claw then hunting party, then leap to finish off
vs Stormoen: keep stoneskin up, use volcano on cd, stone shot otherwise
vs Summer: wind-up, supercharge, wind-up (or delay wind-up with powerball if dodge is active)

Comment by ElviraBanks

This worked for me and the RNG seemed pretty good as well.

Iron Starlette (1-1-1)

Tiny Snowman (1-1-2)

Nexus Whelpling (?-2-?)

Wind-up/Supercharge/Wind-up, Wind-up/Wind-up the Nairn falls.

Wind-up/Wind-up then Scarlette dies. Snowman use Call Blizzard and if Stormoen doesn't die use Snowball.

Spam Snowball twice then Deepfreeze until Tiny Snowman dies. Finish Summer with Mana Surge.

The order of rotation on Tiny Snowman attacks may vary. Just see where Storemoen's heath is and finish him with Deepfreeze instead of Snowball if needed.
Just tried to avoid the CD on Deepfreeze so I could use it on Summer instead. Watch Summer's doge Dodge it's a pain!

Comment by deepspace8

Unborn Val'kyr (2, 2, 2)
Topax Shale Hatchling (1, 2, 2)
Ikky (2, 1, 1)

Curse of Doom, and then Shadow Shock until her first pet is dead. After that, cast Unholy Ascension.

For second pet, I immediately used Stoneskin and then used Poison Spit. I kept up the Poison Spit debuff and Stoneskin buff, and used Burn in the meantime until her second pet was dead.

For her third pet, I start with Stoneskin, then try to Poison Spit until it lands, and Burn after that. You'll die at some point.

With Ikky, I used Black Claw and then Flock. After that, I finished him off with one hit of Quills.

Probably the easiest fight for An Awfully Big Adventure

I used a Harbinger of Flame (*/1/*) and a Blood Boil* (1/1/1) with my Elekk Plushie.

Literally just spam Magma Wave every single round until your pet dies and Nairn will let you at least kill Stormoen in the backline; Summer was left at 77hp for me when my Harbinger died so you could potentially get lucky with crits and be a lot safer.

Nairn is more or less full hp at this point so swap in your Blood Boil, keep Plagued Blood active and heal with Drain Blood when you're in any trouble.
Diseased Bite will do plenty of damage and finish Nairn off in a handful of turns.

Once I killed Nairn, Summer was the last pet alive and I had lower speed.
Don't worry though, it just uses dodge on Turn 1, Prowl on Turn 2 and by the time Dodge falls off you will have more speed and be able to collect your achievement credit.

Hope this helps!

*Can probably substitute Blood Boil for any pet with self-heal abilities and an advantage against Humanoids. You will be dealing with ~500 damage hits from Nairn every turn or so.

So after a whole week I managed An AWFUL Adventure with

Fossilized Hatchling 2,2,2 kills Nairn
Molten Corgi 2,2,1 - use puppies & heals
Elekk - 2, x, x - use the dodge

Comment by Xobn

For Plushie,
I didn't have the correct breeds so i decided to combine 2 strategies from other posters here (Credits: Baanos and CtrlAltDelicious)

what worked for me :

Harbinger of Flame (*,1,*) P/P
Kun-Lai Runt (2,*,2) P/S
Plushie

Start with harbinger of Flame and spam magma wave, if you're lucky enough both back row pets will die before harbinger does,
in the worst case scenario, Stormoen dies and Summer should be just 1 hit away from death.

Once harbinger dies, bring in Kun Lai runt
the weather should be blizzard so cast a deep freeze immediately --> Nairn gets stunned
Summer gets swapped in, finish it off with 1 hit (you should have more speed, P/S Kun Lai)
Nairn goes back in, from here on cast deep freeze on cool down and spam take downs in between.

Comment by WotsOnSecond

I used a lesser voidcaller, molten corgi, and an amberglow stinger. Corgi needs puppies of the flame to avoid the turrets. Just flamethrower into puppies of the flame and the 2nd pet should be dead.
The molten corgi seems fairly mandatory for the long immunity

Comment by Phasha

Here is a strategy that I find reasonably reliable and quick:

Level 25 rare, H/H (the only) breed Creepy Crate (2/1/2)
Level 25 rare, H/B (the only) breed Darkmoon Zeppelin (1/1/2)
Level 25 rare, P/S (the only) breed Terrible Turnip (2/1/2)

Moves:

Begin with Creepy Crate: Agony ➤ Death Grip (to bring in Summer) ➤ BONESTORM ➤ Switch to Darkmoon Zeppelin.
Now with Zepp: Decoy ➤ Spam Missile until Summer has lower HP than 200 ➤ Bombing Run to kill Summer ➤ If Summer survives, cast one more Missile to finish him off.
Zepp vs Nairn: Decoy when ready, else spam Missile until Nairn has lower HP than 140 ➤ Bombing Run to kill Nairn ➤ If Nairn survives, cast one more Missile to finish him off.
Zepp vs Stormoen: Spam Missile until your Darkmoon Zeppelin dies.
Select Terrible Turnip: Leech Seed ➤ Sons of the Root to finish off Stormoen ➤ If Stormoen still survives, spam Tidal Wave and Leech Seed until win.
