Introducing: The Celestial Tournament

The Celestial Tournament can be completed only once per week, per account.

A player must have leveled, themselves, a minimum of 15 Battle Pets that have reached Lv25.

During the Tournament, Pets cannot be healed with Bandagem de Mascote de Batalha or with the Reviver Mascotes de Batalha button.

Mestre LiO Torneio CelestialMestre Li

There is no time limit for completing the Tournament.

Your pets do not suffer the 10% Health-loss when you forfeit a battle against a Tamer or Celestial.

You will not be able to watch other players compete in the Tournament, and similarly, other players will not be able to watch you.

You can leave and restart the Tournament instance as many times as you want - however, you will lose all progress when you zone out of the Tournament.

Alternative / Replacement PetsAbout the Pet ListUsing the Pet ListFinding an Alternative Pet

The Frog is from the Aquatic family, so it will be listed under the Aquatic tab, located above.

Within the Aquatic tab, you will see a column with the heading "FROG".

The "Seen in" row will contain all Opponent and Strategy names the Frog is used for.

The "Substitute with" row will contain all acceptable replacements for the Frog.

Occasionally, such as with the Frog, there will be circumstances that do not allow the same replacements for different Strategies or Opponents; this is generally due to factors such as the Speed Stat of the given pet. For example, the Huge Toad may be a suitable replacement for the Frog in one battle, whereas in a different battle, the Huge Toad may be an undesirable replacement because it does not have the necessary Speed that is needed to be faster than an opponent.

When only specific breeds of a pet can be used, they will be listed beside the replacement pet's name.

Understanding the Pet Family Tabs

Tommy Newcomer's strat works like a charm and is malleable enough to allow for some lower level pets. I did it with a level 22 Sentry instead of a level 25 pet and it still worked.

Great guide!

Comentário de wallix

Excellent guide! I'm still holding off for a month for my return to the CT for refinements, but your guide is the most comprehensive by far. I will be checking back here frequently for refinements and additions!

Comentário de pixietrixie

Excellent guide! Made week 2 a piece of cake :) I'm bookmarking this for future weeks.

Might want to mention the Grell strat for Yu'la since he can solo her. One of your suggested humanoids makes a great backup if something goes wrong, but the Grell stays pretty healthy with cauterize/dodge. Even though the Grell is a tcg pet, seems to be fairly cheap on the ah on most realms.

Comentário de Manaprincess

Thank you so much for this guide! Its so helpful... I have 44 max level pets and thought this tourney would be a breeze... i stepped in and got my a** handed to me for over two hours, got extrememly frustrated and rage quit... I'm now leveling all the pets you suggest before stepping in again :) I feel it will be much easier following the strat... this is the most comprehensive guide I've found TY TY

Comentário de wallix

In your Shademaster Kiryn strat you use four pets.

Comentário de 1005978

Great guide! I have another 8 or so pets to level up and then I plan to use the guide to assist.

Do you have a recommendation for the reward celestial pet? Will any of them be overly useful as a battle pet for the tourney in future weeks?

Comentário de timmune

Great guide. Thank you for this/ your time.

Comentário de 224633

Under Beast Pets, should all those foxes and spiders have that speed requirement? I was little confused on that part. Thanks!

Comentário de kitten23kate

Awesome guide Taluka :) But now I am going to be super busy the next few days leveling up more pets! I like that you have used pets that are relatively painless to get and not TCG items and stuff like that. -Girlrage

Edit: All right! I spent 3 weeks getting most (I thought "all" but found out tonight I'm still missing a few) of the pets on the list here to level 25. Here are some notes I'm taking while doing this, because as it turns out I forgot a couple of pets and had to use different ones!

Lorewalker Cho: Instead of using a spider on Patience (the dragon?) I used a scourged whelpling (uncommon). By the time my spider had died, Patience was already around 60% health, and all I had to do with the whelpling was Call Darkness + 1 round of Dreadful Breath. Also note that Patience's tail sweep is weak against undead, so it didn't do too much damage to my whelp.

Dr. Goldbloom: I had to get a little creative here as I did not have ANY of the pets you recommended (how the heck did I miss all those!). I used Menagerie Custodian (zap, shock and awe, lock on), Emerald Proto Whelp P/P (emerald bite, ancient blessing, emerald dream), and Celestial Dragon (flamethrower, ancient blessing, starfall). Used EPW on the flyer, generally using the healing spells on CD which makes for a long fight but oh well. Eventually the flyer feigns death and the stupid triceratops comes out. At this point I will heal up my Whelp if need be and maybe get a couple hits in on the trike, then get frustrated by being stunned and switch to the mechanical (I'm sure any mechanical would work). Custodian kills the trike, flyer comes out only to feign death and disappear again, and then Chaos comes out. I can get 1-2 hits in on Chaos before Custodian dies, and out comes Celestial Dragon. Even though Starfall is strong vs. Chaos, I chose not to actually use it because it buffs his "Logic" ability, which is already strong vs. my dragon. Instead I just use flamethrower til Chaos dies. Screamer can then be finished off with either Celestial Dragon or Emerald Proto Whelp- one hit should suffice.

Comentário de Haxan

I thank you so much for this guide! This will be my bible! You are a God! =D

Now I'm gonna start levelling up some pets.

Comentário de Pinkiepieisfly

Thank you so much for posting this♥

Unlike other people, I actually did not step into the tournament because the people I spoke to had over ninety 25 pets, and they were barely able to complete it, so I thought that I had absolutely no chance of doing it until I leveled a bunch of more pets.

I was looking for something to determine what I should level, what seems to work for this and what strats other people are using - So thanks for all 3! :)

Comentário de Haxan

Is there any alternative pet instead of Bonkers? That pet is really hard to get and you cant buy it from AH.

Comentário de mel9525

Hey Haxan,
Although Bonkers is ideal for Yu'la, he can be replaced by any of the following:

Pandaren Monk: Takedown, Staggered Steps, Blackout Kick.
Use Staggered Steps to counter Lift Off.

Anubisath Idol: Crush, Stoneskin, Deflection.
Keep up Stoneskin, use Deflection to counter Lift Off.

Kun-Lai Runt: Takedown, Frost Shock, Deep Freeze.
Just the usual Frost Shock > Deep Freeze > Takedown.

Of course, if you use Anuibsath Idol, this means that it can't be used on Chen. No matter though, replace Anubisath on Chen with either:

Flayer Youngling: Triple Snap, Deflection, Rampage.
Use Deflection to block Locust Swarm if needed, otherwise, Rampage > Snap.

Kun-Lai Runt: Thrash, Mangle, Rampage.
Just the usual Mangle > Rampage > Thrash.

Or use any Rabbit with Dodge and Burrow to avoid Locust strikes.
Or any Spider, use Brittle Web and Spiderling Swarm.

Best Wishes!

Thank you again for this wonderful guide which really did help me defeat this tournament, just want to point out one thing, the wild crimson hatchling doesnt have call lightening in its spells, both wild golden and wild jade do have it so work instead

Comentário de Lynkeus

Very useful guide. I won the tournament with the help of this guide. Thanks.

Comentário de timmune

Minor little edit: Under section for Lorewalker Cho, for the last pet he brings out, your guide says Wisdom, when it should be Knowledge.

LOVE your guide, btw. I use it every week, lol. Thanks so much and cheers!

Comentário de timmune

So... remember that one time when you suddenly read this comment and have an epiphany... that you need to make a guide for OP PvP pet battle teams? 0;^)

Comentário de gummiebear007

I agree with many here, with this being a fantastic guide! I am really looking forward to seeing your alternates, as I am starting to discover a few of my own. Moon Moon works great for the foxes :D

Comentário de Echylod

As of 11/4/2013 this strategy does not work, not even close to working. The Nordrassil wisps do so little damage that it is totally impossible to get a kill. By the time both of the wisps died Chi Chi was at full health. I tried this strategy six time for the same result each time. RNG was kind and there were no misses. Just not enough damage to hurt the boss.

Comentário de creatorslave

an alternative for chi-chi

it involves landro lichling but anything with Curse of Doom will do(use this on since it had highest power i could find atm)

Crimson geode used a P/P breed but then UNCOMMEN is fine we need Elementium Bolt from this one

and Chrominius for Surge of power.

t1 lichling use Curse of Doom
t2 swap to Geode
t3 Elementium Bolt
t4 swamp to Chrominius
t5 Howl after howl is applied curse and bold land for full power and granting stunn so doggy survives
t6 Surge of power

all of these move have hitrate of 100% so no randomness.

Edit: Cheap alternatives for Landro Lichling are Lost of Lordaeron and Lofty Libram.

Chromagnus has a alternative Lil Tarecgosa(can be hard to get). all other alternatives with this skill dont have the hp to take a 6quill hit

Comentário de 69177

This is a great guide. Thank you! I struggled with the tournament until I found this.

Comentário de YoshimaraMuse

I stumbled upon this guide when it was mentioned on the forums and I have a couple questions for you.

#1: When you suggest collecting 2 Rare Nordassil Wisps above 310 speed, are you meaning to just catch them both or use the same pet twice?

#2: Ghost Skull is automatically an Uncommon pet, should I try to find a Battle-Stone for this one or is there some kind of substitute for it?

And #3: Is there any way you can add the alternative pets to the original list (like you have for the Searing Scorching)? Because I found a decent pet alternative for a couple that have the exact same abilities and might be a bit easier to farm for. Such as any snail pet would be a good alternative to the Rapana Whelk, a Mirror Strider would be easier to obtain than the Aqua Strider, etc.

I eagerly await your reply! This guide has been most helpful in helping me determine what pets would be best to use. Looks like I have some level grinding to do! :D Awesome job!

Comentário de T0mate

I think you should mention that Bonkers should be with a breed with 288+ speed. If it's not, it is really hard to dodge lift off.

Comentário de Bobaloo

Hello! I recently got into battle pets and I was reading through your guide while accumulating my collection and stones to upgrade them with and I was wondering:

For pets such as the Brown Marmot, the Blighthawk, or the second Fox, is there a specific breed that should be used? For example, my second fox is a p/p Fjord Worg Pup, my Blighthawk is p/s, and my Marmot is s/s.

I'd like to know before I use ~~or waste~~ any more stones. And thanks again for your guide!

Comentário de Echylod

They Seriously buffed Xu-Fu since this guide. The two fox strategy has worked flawlessly until this week. The damage done by Xu-Fu has been increased so neither fox can get enough attacks in to kill. The damage done was not critical nor was it a hard hit but it rocked them both. First fox never got in the bite, second fox managed only a single hit. Not enough health removed for the bot to kill

Is there another pet I could substitute for Warbot? I don't see how I could get that pet since it's unavailable nowadays. Unless there's a way to get him that I don't know about...

Comentário de wallix

Just got all the pets today thanks to your guide. I read a million guides and yours was the only one that considered teams based on RNG (*cough* Elfuego *cough*) and actually refined strats as time went on. Your hard work is noted and appreciated.

Comentário de 1198048

The Celestials can be easily defeated by Darkmoon Zeppelin, Water Spirit and Chrominius...
Just use water spirit, Geyser, Whirlpool, switch to Chrom and Howl. Then Surge of Power can easily finish them...
Use Zeppelin first to cast the Decoy when challenging Xu-Fu, then switch to water spirit and do the same....

And leave Yu-la to be the last one, so you can use something like Inspiring Song to heal your team to full.

Really easy

Comentário de Redisia

I have made a list with in my opinion hard to get minions in this setup.
Please make note that some of the pets listed here are Acquirable without having the actually same named pets Molusco Rapana can be replaced by Caracol Clarapaça or several others. Might be worth seeing if your pets that look like the one you need to find actually have the same skills. Or are on another place with more numbers in the world so that farming them becomes easy.

The addon used by Taluka is called Pet-tracker and can be found on addon websites such as curse. This will give you an accurate location of the pets you are looking for. Something that comes close to wowheads battle-pets map, but then ingame.

The pets listed bellow are the harder to obtain pets.
~~And if anyone during their travels have good replacement for these pets feel free to tell us in a respond~~.

I am eternally grateful for this guide, so much that I downloaded it to my hard drive in case it disappeared. But I am still kind of panicking that the celestials are missing now. will they be back soon?

I dont mean to sound like I am complaining. I just thought it might have been an error in formatting and thought I would bring it to your attention.

love the guide, cant say it enough. :)

Comentário de Zarasz

Yula is easily done with one pet. Mr bigglesworth.

- Claw
- Ice tomb
- Ice Barrier
- PASS TURN
- Claw
- Claw
- Repeat (including the first claw)

Comentário de Jaladar

First, your guide is awesome. I am still working on building up all of my pets in order to try out the strategies but I love the layout and the specifics you provide. Thank you for putting so much time into it.

Second, my question: You have the Grifinho Martelo Feroz listed under flying pets but I don't see where he is used in the individual battles...did I miss him somewhere or can you fill me in? I just got him to 25 but not sure where he fits in overall.

Again, thanks for all your efforts!

**Edit** I just re-read your newest comments and that may be why I can't find him but that's ok--the list gives me motivation to get my pets leveled ;)

Comentário de 1069803

Great guide thanks.

Xu Fu with wolves however seldom works for me.
Easy team i've experienced has been
skywisp moth
clockwork gnome
any other ( i used anodize robot cub)

killed xu-fu with everyone alive and didnt need last pet. going from memory so bare with me

1. Skywisp
use cocoon
call lightning
slicing wind

2. switch to clockwork gnome
turrent
metal fist

3. back to skywisp
cocoon
call lightning

4. clockwork gnome
turrent

xu-fu did miss once on gnome so your mileage may vary but a strong last pet should make this pretty easy even with bad luck

Comentário de 1198952

Hi, haven't looked at the guide to the trainers, but couple things on the celestials themselves...

Yula, as noted in other comments, Mr. Bigglesworth
1. Claw
2. Ice Tomb
3. Ice barrier
4. pass
5. Claw
6. Claw
repeat. Only user error causes screw ups, take a humanoid with you to fill the team

Zufu AND! Zao
Sunreaver Micro-sentry
Lil' bling
Zandalari Anklerender (then Zandalari kneebiter)
Zu-fu
Sunreaver casts call lightning, trade for zandalari
Zandalari casts black claw (dies)
lil bling casts Inflation
Zao
Sunreaver casts call lightning
Sunreaver casts laser, trade for zandalari
Zandalari casts black claw
Zandalari casts hunting party, trade for bling
lil bling casts inflation

Chi-Chi
Pandaren Water Spirit
1. Cast Geyser
2. Cast Whirlpool
you might be tempted to keep going DO NOT, trade for Chrominius
3. Cast howl
4. Cast Surge of Power.

--

Can't say it's RNG-proof, but I've won 7 times without even close to losing (still lose a lot of trainer fights though :P )

Comentário de Smadronia

The faster option I've found for Lil' Oondasta came from a friend: Clockwork Gnome and Zandalari Kneebiter.

Round 1: Build turret
Round 2: Oon should pull the Zandalari out. Use Hunting Party
Round 3: Hunting Party continues
Round 4: Black Claw
Round 5: wWatever you want, if your Zandalari dies, usually the turret will take Oon out.

Comentário de thatmikeguy

Did they change something?

Chi-Chi is showing 465 speed in game.

Comentário de Koviko

An addition to the strategy for Taran Zhu:

If your Moth's Pó de Mariposa puts your opponent to sleep, then you'll have a bit of a situation on your hands. When you put the enemy to sleep, the tamer swaps in a different pet, and for me, he always chose to swap in Yen. If your Moth is still above 50% health, you will have a speed advantage and you have an opportunity to dispose of Yen by quickly using Golpe Alfa before Yen does his Fingir de Morto. However, if you are below 50%, you will not be able to attack fast enough and will end up falling out of the plan on this page.

I personally am not sure how to recover in that situation and end up just forfeiting the fight. Any idea how one should proceed if Pó de Mariposa puts your opponent to sleep when you are under 50% health?

Comentário de 301140

Great Little Tommy Newcomer walk through! I was leveling my team for the fight and figured why not try it now with a level 20 Darkmoon Zeppelin and level 24 Sunreaver Micro-Sentry & Clockwork Gnome. Only the Zeppelin survived but I got the xp and daily complete.
Thank you!

Comentário de 373649

An easier Xu-Fu strat if you're a hardcore pet collector(have access to high end TCG pets)is a 2 pet team, Dragon Kite and Lil' Bling.

Start with Volcano(you're faster than him even without the Flying buff, and since his first cast is always moonfire,. you want to lead in with Volcano)

He casts moonfire, you cast Lightning storm, after Lightning storm he should finish off your kite.

With Lil Bling Start with Make it rain and watch him melt. I've only had to use Inflation maybe once, and if he's managed to get a feed off, with Inflation on him taking 100% more dmg in addition to the make it rain his hp literally disappears(he looks like he bugs out and his hp goes from 50% to dead)

Also for Yu'la you can solo with Bonkers P/S breed(thanks to the commentor on the Yu'la NPC section), don't take Tornado Punch take Haymaker and reset if it doesn't connect. Only use Evasion like you said during Lift-Off and just jab spam.

Comentário de darkdoug19

Fantastic guide and extremely helpful. I basically started from nothing a few weeks back and used your guide as a shopping list of sorts before I even zoned into the tournament. I now have most of the pets on your list, with a couple others mixed in that I like.

I have only 31 level 25 pets, and because of this guide I was able to beat the Tournament on my first try.

Taran Zhu was a little sketchy, I don't have my blighthawk leveled up yet, so I used a fungal abomination, probably not a great move, and I barely won.

Chi-chi was also pretty tense, I tried a dragon/magic damage group, Lil'Tarecgosa and I forget the others, but I got crushed. I ended up beating it by just bombing him with the Water Spirit and Corehound Pup (my Chrominius was already dead). The geyser/whirlpool/howl/burrow combo was enough to kill it, even with reduced damaged from burrow.

Comentário de wilosoft

Thanks to you I was able to beat the celestial tournament yesterday :) I didn't have all the pets required at level 25 but it worked out well with other comps! Well deserved 5 stars!

Comentário de Rockatansky

There's some very serious inadequacies in the pets you've chosen I'm afraid. In particular with Wrathion and Xu-fu. In a 'perfect' match scenario they will win, however, so far I've had to leave the instance three times, start over, and repair my pets either because of 1-2 misses or the pets just not doing hard enough damage to the enemy pet.

I would leave those two battles off the table until a more reliable team can be assembled to handle the job. Otherwise, people are just going to be wasting their time like I have now for an hour and half.

Beyond those two hiccups, good guide.

Comentário de benedice

hello!

just wanted to ask that there's smolderweb hatchling in your list. can we change that with any other spiders? because smolderweb comes as a "green" level 1, needs to be leveled up to 25 and a battlestone.

Aranha do Crepúsculo has the same skillset, level25, and can be caught as rare. can we use those instead?

thanks!

Wow ! Mel what can I say..........................

I have been an avid wow player for over 6 years now, and in that time have read lots of guides and useful posts to assist me on the way.

However - after I - like many others - got totally depressed with the Celestial Tourney - was then delighted to find and read your guide. Which is really more like a work of art !

Descriptive, informative, detailed and fantastically put together. I can honestly say I think your guide is the best I've read and was happy to rate it 5 star !

Brilliant work - Thank you so much for your time and effort.

Comentário de skhawver

This was awesome! I wish I would have read this guide first before leveling all the 'wrong' pets! In addition to the strategy for Chi-Chi, I was able to beat with Infected Squirrel/Lil Tarecgosa. I used Rabid Strike/Stampede/Rabid Strike/Corpse Explosion followed by Arcane Storm/Surge of Power. Helped me out greatly because i made a few mistakes and got my first Nordrassil Wisp killed =( Hope this helps someone!

Comentário de GAFFiO

Many thanks Mel for such a fantastic guide.
In my many years of Warcraft and using all sorts of guides this is probably the best I have ever seen. So very well worded, explained, formatted and layed out perfectly. I'm now busy leveling the pets I need (I have about 2/3 already).

Great work!

Comentário de 76829

just wanted to add that the hardest random luck boss in here chi chi is made simple with just 2 spectral porcupettes.

use power ball/spirit spikes/spectral spine.

open with spirit ball twice to get your speed up and on 3rd turn use spirit spikes will be same turn boss does his evade move after that boss pretty much kills him self use spectral spine and than keep using power ball. if boss doesnt kill himself before you kill him with first porcupette bring out second and remember boss always uses the evasion move whenever its up so always time your spirit spikes during that. never even have to worry about second porcupette dieing to need a 3rd pet.

Comentário de Nimel

Great guide, really!
About the 4 celestials I would like to share my strategy that works 100% and it's actually the fastest I found.

SHOP LIST:
2x Pandaren Water Spirit
2x Chrominius
1x Darkmoon Tonk
1x Gregarious Grell (or 1x Mr. Bigglesworth)
1x Sen'jin Fetish
1x Disgusting Oozeling (Another ooze is fine)
1x Spectral Porcupette (you won't really need this...)

1) Yu'la
Gregarious Grell (Punch, Phase Shift when Lift off, Cauterize when under 800HP) can solo this one

2) Zao
Pandaren Water Spirit: Geyser, Whirpool (switch to Chrominius)
Chrominius: Howl, Bite, Surge of Power (Zao dies now)
Darkmoon Tonk: (never used)

3) Xu-Fu
1 TURN FASTER THAN ZAO!
(2nd) Pandaren Water Spirit: Geyser, Whirpool (switch to Chrominius)
(2nd) Chrominius: Howl, Surge of Power (Xu-Fu dies now)
Darkmoon Tonk: (never used)
NOTE: If Xu-Fu crits you (rare chance), just forfait ... you will need to heal your Zao Team at Chi-Chi. It won't crit you twice in the same day.

4) Chi-Chi (if something goes wrong, heal your pets here with group heal 1st ability, I use Red Cricket's "Inspiring Song")
Sen'jin Fetish: Wild Magic, Flame Breath until dies, Wild Magic on your immortal turn
Disgusting Oozeling: Acidic goo (first one will be dodged, do it again), Corrosion (there should be enough dots to kill Chi-Chi but your Ooze will be dead as well)
Spectral Porcupette (never used, but prepare Spirit Spikes against Quill in case of need)
I took this strategy from someone who posted it on youtube, kudos to him.

I have more problems with some trainers (RNG gods can be evil sometimes), but the 4 celestials are pushover.

Comentário de 27039

I noticed, for Wise Mari, you have listed a Rã instead of the Strider you are using in your videos. The tactic also mention the use of Pump which frogs does not have. Was that a last hour change or just an oversight?

For the rest, it's an amazing guide, I managed to kill 5/7 in Celestial Tournament until I noticed that I forgot to level the pets for Yu'la :P

By the way, for leveling, you could try using Ídolo Anubisath + S/S Corvo + Guloseima para Mascotes Inferior and go to the following combats:

For the Burning Spirit I usually bring any acuatic pet as backup, just in case the Crow decides he's not hungry this day :P

I can get to level 24-25 any pet just in those 4 fights. It's once per day, but you have a really good chance to get pet stones. I usually farmed striders in the Vale but I can say I've never got a stone there since 5.2.

Comentário de Cantralian

Seriously, thank you so much for this incredibly comprehensive and beautifully organised guide. I had a lot of level 25s but not quite the right ones, so I used it as a levelling list (and multi-tasked by levelling alts at the same time, so win-win).

I had dreadful RNG first try on Xu-Fu, so swapped for a howl bomb team after they were dead, but this week it worked a charm. I decided to use my Gilnean raven for Wise Mari's carp instead of the moth and he finished the carp off with over 1K health left. My favourite of your strategies is definitely Zao because of the way he heals to full health and then just melts down to zero. So very satisfying!

Comentário de napalmz

Thanks you so much for this guide - it has made everything very painless (subject to crazily bad RNG) :)

Comentário de undeaddom

I rigorously followed this guide from the minute I started pet battles, and as of now I have completed my first week of the tournament with no hassle whatsoever. Huge well done and thanks for putting in the time and effort to make this guide.

Comentário de 1210340

Thank you for this guide - followed it and have no problems beating the Celestial Tournament now.

If anyone is looking for a good place to level pets (you need to max out quite a few from level 1 for this guide) I levelled my team at Mistfall village inn in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms

There is a constant spawn of 5 level 24 or 25 eternal striders immediately behind the inn, plus more in the dried up riverbed nearby.

Advantages :
1. Eternal Striders almost always start with a buff - Healing Wave, Cleansing Rain, Pump. This means you can start with a level 1 pet and if they hit you can swap it out, finish the battle with two other level 25s and go from level 1 to 8 in one fight (Safari Hat + Lesser Pet Treat buff) ! If poor RNG kills your level 1 the stable master is 2 secs away.
2. The mobs are never anything other than Aquatic or Flying making your setup much quicker / easier.
3. Mistfall village inn has an instant logout inn function, mailbox and stable master (no need to use pet bandages) so you can do other stuff in between.
4. Since patch 5.4 Mistfall village is never under attack and there are no hostile mobs anywhere nearby behind the inn, the riverbed (if you outkill the spawn rate behind the inn) has a few crocs.
5. Location is close to either of the Shrine bases.

Might take a bit longer than other strategies but you have no travelling around.

Comentário de fritzal

Thanks for putting such a great guide together for all of us.

After some leveling some snails and a few other pets listed in your guide I was able to complete my first tourny.

One thing I did find was my Panda Monk was able to solo Yu'la!

Thanks again!

Comentário de Pandamonius

Thanks so much for this guide! Just tried the Celestial Tournament for the first time, and didn't even break a sweat thanks to this!

I had to substitute a few pets due to not having all the right ones, but the only fight that I was worried about was Yu'la, since I didn't have an available pet with Ascension (my Val'kyr having died previously, and my other undeads not having leveled enough to unlock it).

I was saved by the comments though. Looking through, I found suggestions for using Mr. Bigglesworth instead, and following them step by step, I was able to beat Yu'la without taking a single point of damage. The fight took longer, but in the end, she went down, and I got my first Celestial Coin!

Comentário de Askania

Great guide, but have you considered replacements for rare and pet shop pets people may not have, like Bonkers and Pandaren Monk. I know a couple people who love doing pet battles, but they don't buy anything from the Blizzard store or AH so their pet list is restricted to wild battle pets. :) For people like me and 541 pets this is great though.

Comentário de anekitty

Very nice guide! Your suggestions and tips are making it much easier to beat these guys.

Comentário de 1186460

Fantastic guide, really grateful for its existence, as it helped me heaps! :) Or should I say, it actually made it possible for me to win this tournament. I'd just like to add 2 things that helped me, which others may find useful

1. against Chen Stormstout: instead of the Anubisath Idol I used Chrominius, mainly because Anubisath tends to miss with its Crush ability, and against Brewly I used Ominous Flame pet and its ability Nimbus to reduce the chance of missing

2. against Chi-Chi i once managed to win once by using the wisps, but then the next time failed and decided to try 2 snails and a Jade Oozeling, which worked quite well

Comentário de goldenllama

Very well done guide. When Cho, Goldbloom & McLeary were the trainers I could not defeat Xu-Fu using the guide...not enough firepower and extra pet combos to use. I switched to the all snail tactic vs Chi-Chi and used Unborn Valkyr, Alpine Foxling Kit and Lil Bling on Xu-Fu...worked like a charm and got my first tournament win.

Comentário de J48Johnson

Using this Guide, I was having a very hard time with Taran Zhu using the original pets. I easily beat him with:
Creepy Crate (Agony, Curse of Doom, Bonestorm)
Molten Hatchling (Leech Life, Cauterize<-not used, Brittle Webbing)
Elder Python (Poison Fang, Sting, Burrow.

Used in the above order Open with Bonestorm, and keep using Agony until he is going to switch, (50% health). You need to have Curse of Doom on him when he switches pets.

Keep the crate in until he goes down using Bonestorm when it's ready, same with Curse of Doom.
Bring in the spider using Brittle webbing and Leech Life till he's dead.
Bring in the snake. Poison your target with both Poison Fang, and Sting, then Burrow. Keep the poison flowing until burrow is ready and use it. Rinse & repeat.

This was VERY effective.

Comentário de 1095958

Very few, if any, of these strategies work 5.4.2. Zero room for crits/missing on fights like Chen. Blighthawk's attacks are way to high miss chance to be reliable.

Comentário de johannhowitzer

For Blingtron 4000, you should replace Searing Scorchling with Harbinger of Flame.

- Less speed, which does not matter since Lil' B is faster than both pets.
- Higher HP and attack.
- Same abilities.
- WAY easier to get!

Comentário de Sleepless

I bow to your guide. I have so many pets leveled, but I'm so used to using primarily the same ones time and again. Your guide is really helping me understand my pets better so that I can form some of my own new strategies.

Note: Your original Wise Mari strategy still shows instructions that say, "If somehow kills your Moth, bring Aqua Strider out to finish him off with Pump." I was consternated by this at first since the strategy uses a frog, but I searched the comments and noted that you had addressed this previously. I only bring it up since the instructions have never been edited to match the pet swap.

Again, thank you so very much for your super marvelous guide! I'm a forever fan.

Comentário de steve189

thank you so much for making this guide, I been following your guide and passed the tournament with out much problem. I would like to take the time to make a suggestion. for Blingtron 4000, i used a shalespider its shell skill nicely counters make it rain, i was able to kill the element with 80% hp left on shalespider. and again, your guide helped me very much

Comentário de Eido

This guide looks great! I just wanted to suggest something for possible improvement of this guide, if you are interested:

It would be helpful at the start to have a table of contents with page anchors, just so the reader knows what to expect. Second, a clear description of what the tournament is, for those who don't know, and what exactly occurs during the entirety of it.

Just a thought :) I hope this is helpful!

Comentário de kahlina

Just wanted to drop a note regarding Core Hound Pup seen on Blingtron 4000. For those that don't have this pet (or perhaps even those that do!) Lil' Bad Wolf is a great choice since you don't have to worry about rng of burrow missing. Howl + Claw x2 is usually enough to take him down. Save Dodge for Lil' B's opening, then Howl.

Comentário de Zaydene

I noticed that a lot of these guides share the same pet, for example Sunreaver Micro and Zeppelin are in two battles.

Do I need to level up a second one of them to do the celestials? I managed to kill the 3 tamers I got with the above teams, but most if not all the pets were dead.

I thought originally you'd be able to heal after each battle or at least the game would heal you.

Comentário de Zaydene

On Wise Mari's original guide, under turn 14 has a mistake

"River should die at this point, or from another couple Alpha Strikes.
If he somehow kills your Moth, bring Aqua Strider out to finish him off with Pump"

The pet in the guide is actually the frog, not an aqua strider :D

Comentário de killswitcch

I would like to add my own voice to the many people who have said a BIG thank you for researching, writing and putting this guide together.

after getting all the pets to max level i bet the tournament yesterday for the first time - I am now a proud owner of Xu-Fu :)

Time to grind out for the others :D Gotta "have" them all !

Comentário de 1218273

Amazing guide! I beat them on my first try after reading this...after running into brick walls with 15 max level pets the first time and again with 50 max levels, this time I came in with 75 max levels and fully prepared for war.
I made some substitutions to use some easier to obtain pets and I had fantastic results. The first 3 trainers are easy to use trial and error to build teams so I'll just share my subs for the final 4 pets:

For Xu-Fu I used a Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling instead of the Darkmoon Zeppelin. They are much cheaper on the auction house and have the crucial decoy move and more than enough DPS to do the job.

For Yu-La I used a Flayer Youngling(P/S) instead of Bonkers and had a cakewalk stunning with every kick and deflecting every Lift-Off. These guys are plentiful in the mountains between Hellfire Peninsula and Shadowmoon Valley. I'll probably use a Kun-Lai Runt instead of the Pandaren Monk next time just because I feel dirty using my paid-for pets(lol).

For Zao no changes had to be made but I almost came to tears when my Sentry died and Zao healed to nearly full health. I was sure I had messed up somewhere, but sure enough the Zandalari Anklerender DESTROYED him with ease.

Chi-Chi no changes either. Fantastic strategy.

Thanks so much man. Winning the Celestial Tournament feels like just winning the Pokemon League back in 1998 or w/e playing Pokemon Blue, although to be honest I've put way more hours into building my pet team than I ever put into that game I'm afraid.

Comentário de Mokal

Shame the new tactics need so good pets :(

Comentário de 1034014

As most other people have said, this is a fantastic guide, and I thank you for all the time and effort you put into making it.

I'd just like to add my own tip, and I apologize if it has already been mentioned, but I didn't see it anywhere; While the tournament restricts healing outside of combat, you can still heal in combat, and certain trainers (Lorewalker Cho, for example) ALWAYS start with a non-damaging ability, so using a pet such as my beloved Red Cricket with its Inspiring Song, you can enter combat, use inspiring song to heal your pets, forfeit and repeat until all of your pets are in peak condition. It made be feel a bit dirty using such an exploit, but I did not have a large stable of level 25s to see me through and I couldn't bear waiting any longer to get my hands on that gorgeous black ox, Zao.

Another tip I have is for Little Tommy; I used the Clockwork Gnome and Chrominius -
Start with the Gnome, use turret turn 1.
Ooondasta will then drag out Chrominius if it's your second pet, so use Howl followed by Surge of Power.
Chrominius dies immediately after using Surge, so swap to the Gnome and build a second turret.
If the Gnome is still alive, use Metal Fist till either the Gnome dies or Turret comes off CD.
Now, usually the Gnome will finish off Oondasta, but if by some chance it outlives the Gnome, swap to whatever third pet you have chosen. I go with Lil' XT, but just about any pet, preferably mechanical, will do.

As an aside, might I also suggest adding what each enemy pet does during their turns, if at all possible? I understand that this is a lot of extra work, but for those of us who have had no luck catching a rare of a particular counter-pet (an Unborn Val'kyr of ANY rarity still eludes me), it allows us to better plan on what to bring instead.

Just wanted to add my 'thank you' to the pile. Words can't express how utterly grateful I am to have found your guide! Tremendous job! :D

A big thank you for compiling this. Took some time (and a little gold) toaccumulate all of the pets to build the required battle stable, but I have now managed the clear the tournament by following your strats, and looking forward to getting my hands on all 4 of the celestial pets.

Comentário de snoogins187

I just had the Xu-Fu strategy fail me, so I had to find an alternate set of pets to get it done. Fortunately, I found my Fjord Worg Pup has the same moveset as the Alpine Fox. I took a risk using a level 20 Arctic Fox Kit as the 2nd pet and one of my Darkmoon Tonks as the finisher.

Admittedly, I did catch a big break when his Feed missed my fox. I was prepared to use Shock and Awe, followed up by the Ion Cannon after the fox died, but instead, I was able to sub in the Tonk with Howl still up and he was at around 600HP. Shock and Awe finished him in one shot.

Comentário de snoogins187

I'd like to recommend for anyone doing the Yu'La fight, instead of using a Bonkers or other Humanoid pet, you can get a Clock 'Em and have an easier time. At level 25, his speed in 289, which does give him that first attack each round. With a Jab>Counter Strike (or Overtune)>Dodge moveset, and Unholy Ascension debuff on Yu'La, you should have no problem winning this fight. Just save the Dodge move for whenever she lifts off

Or if you are feeling really frisky, try using Haymaker instead of Jab... :)

Only Moth dies strategy i used is:

Crawling Claw 111
Rapana Whelk 221
Amber Moth 212

Taran Zhu begins with Yen
You begin with Crawling Claw
Curse of Doom
switch to Rapana Whelk
Pass or Shell Shield (you will get stunned)
Absorb
Dive (on 2 ticks till Curse of Doom falls so dive hits on the same round (Yen is faster))
Yen dies or so close to dead when he feign dead next round
Switch to Crawling claw
Ancient Blessing
Curse of Doom
Switch to Moth
Moth
Cocoon Strike
Alpha Strike
till moth dies :(((
.....
rest of it u rap up with Crawling Claw curse of doom and Rapana Whelk.
Will try to follow up more net time i fight Taran Zhu.

i just killed Xu-Fu with a Wild Golden Hatchling P/S, a Clockwork gnome S/B and a Chrominius H/H
i used the pets like this:
call lightning
change to gnome
turret
metal fist
metal fist (gnome dead)
howl
Surge of power
Xu-Fu is now dead

as Xu-Fu is faster than my chrominius and he missed his last attack i dont know if my chrominius would have died normaly.

Feel free to add this to you'r amazing guide XD

I found another substitute for a Nordrassil Wisp. I have a Festival Lantern that has the exact same move set that might work on the fight for Chi-Chi if needed. I didn't have a second Nordrassil Wisp and used the Lantern and it worked out well.

Good luck to all competing in the Celestial Tournament.

It's not easy to remember which breed IDs stand for which stat allocations. As a result, many websites and pet battle resources are using a two-letter system as a way of expressing each breed ID in a more recognizable format. The most notable of these resources is MMOSimca's Battle Pet BreedID addon, which displays the breed of your pets in-game.

The breed ID letter system uses the following letters to convey a pet's breed:
H = Health
P = Power
S = Speed
B = Balance
Each letter is paired with another to represnt its breed. For example, H/H means the pet has a double dose of Health (0/20/0: breeds 6 and 16). P/B indicates Power mixed with Balance (4/9/4: breeds 10 and 20). B/B represents across-the-board Balance (5/5/5: breeds 3 and 13). See the complete list below.
BREED LETTERS H/P/S
4/14 → P/P = 0/20/0
5/15 → S/S = 0/0/20
6/16 → H/H = 20/0/0
7/17 → H/P = 9/9/0
8/18 → P/S = 0/9/9
9/19 → H/S = 9/0/9
10/20 → P/B = 4/9/4
11/21 → S/B = 4/4/9
12/22 → H/B = 9/4/4
3/13 → B/B = 5/5/5
We've also adopted the letter system to show the breeds when hovering over a pet while browsing a user's pet collection.

Anyone had luck to get the Xu-Fu, Cub of Xuen flock/Swarm tactic to work? my pet just dies after first swarm..

Comentário de Lunachick

Have they changed Chi Chi recently? I went out and got two S/S Nordrasil Wisps (speed 357) and Chi Chi is still faster. I have yet to get this strat to work for me. I have had about 50% success with the snail strategy. (I just seem to have bad RNG with battle pets in general, so I suppose I should just keep soldiering on.)

Comentário de Volati

I didn't see it on the first page of comments at all, so I just wanted to know what addons do you use for pet battling. I saw you have an addon that shows you the enemy pet's abilities, and their cooldowns. Can you possibly post the ones you use?

Comentário de don1010220

I know i'm a noob so please no noob comments or downgrade comments please but what does S/S next to a few pets mean?

Comentário de CoolYoshixD

I have a question : Do these pets have to be rare quality or all quality for the fights?

Comentário de 1213911

3 Snails works out MUCH better for Chi-Chi than Valk+Wisp. The timing just doesn't work out the way you describe. It might work if you UA 1 round earlier.

Comentário de 1094397

Chama Vil has the same move set as Searing Scorchling, so can be used against Wise Mari if you don't feel like doing the Molten Front dailies.

Comentário de Teasal

Many, many thanks for your leveling guide & Tournament strategies!

They all worked a treat apart from Bonkers -your notes state he should have a speed stat of at least 288, but mine only has 260. I thought non-wild pets only came in one flavour, or is this wrong?

Additional thanks to Crastox - the Mr Bigglesworth strat worked a charm :)

Comentário de Oilfreak

Fantastic guide !

I levelled and tried a lot of pets before finding this guide from which I filled a few gaps in my lineup and presto . . . Tournament Winner !

Thank you for all the time and effort you put into this !

Comentário de Minigunner

For shademaster Kiryn I have found that a P/P jade oozeling works exceptionally well with the two dots and the life steal as a replacement for the lofty libram. I manage to get my oozeling to get both dots on the mechanical kitty when he does the storm too and it is rediculous damage.

Comentário de Kirielaa

Thanks for this amazing guide, Helped me doing the base for my team during the celestial tournement! I just wanna add my opinion on Sully, i use a Jungle Grub first (Chomp, Acid goo, Burrow). I only use burrow when socks dies and when he brings out Monte he takes alot of damage since he's a critter, I rarely need to use my 3rd pet against him.
And this guide, my God. Truly an amazing job on your side, to the point where you even specify the breeds and everything just to make sure people don't use a lower speed one. I'd raise a beer cheering this guide!

Comentário de settlestone

this is the only strat for chi-chi i've found that works well. thanks a ton giggz.

Comentário de DaringJedi

Thanks a bunch for the guide! Worked out great; I definitely prefer the snail strategy for Chi-Chi.

Comentário de bathazar

Thank you so much! Finally after months of leveling the correct pets, thanks to you and this awesome guide I finally got this achievement!

This is seriously an amazing guide and I can only assume it took you a hefty amount of time to do this. I as well as others really do appreciate your hard work.

Comentário de deadlaserman

well, i did started to use this guide, and someone told me its just waste of time, and i asked him why, and he gave me a short way to all this list of pets:
you need: Terrible Turnip, Chrominius, Spirit water, undead pet with curse of doom and haunt spells like unborn val'kyr, thats my team for the 4 celestial pets u fight on the end, so the trainers before are esey to win with allmost any pets u maxed, i prefer to use Anubisath Idol on few fights since he last long time for any fight, and just get some pets that u alredy lvl to max that will counter the trainers pets, simple as that.

for celstial im using all 4 pets above: you start with unborn val'kyr---> curse of doom--->haunt, she die u switch to water spirit--->geyser--->whirlpool, switch to Chrominius---> howl..
at this point the celestial will die or have less hp for one more strike, so just use any of the Chrominius attakes, now your pets are less hp, what you doing ?
you using Terrible Turnip to heal them, taking Terrible Turnip with 2 pets u wanna heal, start fight with any of the celestial, use heal, then forfit, do that again all the times until u heal to max, then change to your third pet to heal him also, and u good to go for next match.

(all pets must be max lvl and rare type to make it work smooth)

sometime the celestial have luck of missing attakes from our side, or kill the pets before u did the instruction above, so its better to have always more of the pets i said above..

i wish you the best of luck, deadlaserman...

Comentário de 279942

Have you been removing some of the alternate strats? I'd been working on filling out and levelling up some of my teams based on the alternate strats (because they lined up better with the pets I've got) and now the tabs are showing as Blank? Just curious. hope the computer's gotten better!

Comentário de 182693

Having not read or understood enough, I didn't realize it was a two part "adventure". I was very sad when I finally beat the first 3 guys, only to have PART 2 pop up with some REALLY difficult fights (all my own fault for not paying more attention!)! Like someone else said, I'll be going out and leveling all the pets you have suggested before returning!

Here is one helpful tidbit:

On the Doctor Ion Goldblum fight, you may also substitute the Rotten Little Helper (humanoid, not mechanical though he does have some very mech-like attacks) instead of the Warbot (in combination/strategy with the other two suggested pets). Though my Rotten Little Helper was only level 20, the team defeated Ion Goldbloom every time.

Comentário de Simonbelmont

I just want to add about the triple snail strat for Chi-Chi, It REALLY works. I just had a battle where EVERY SINGLE dive missed and I still won.

Comentário de Pathatlon

I love your guide - except for that fact that I actually have to BUY pets. I think, already paying once a month, this is a fair rip-off.

It's very annoying, as some of the pets are very good, and I wish you'd added an "or this pet" instead.

I don't mind to grind boringly for a pet, but I won't buy it.

Comentário de 1229458

Just wanted to add my thanks to the list! Very helpful guide and very well put together.
Just thought I would add though that I did this with a slower than suggested Wildhammer Gryphon Hatchling and was still successful.
Cheers!

Comentário de 701021

Great guide. (nothing like a well timed miss on the last celestial to make you have to restart the whole damn scenario... )

Comentário de 954192

W.T.Flock is ridiculously subject to rng. It does NOT work more than 50% of the time so far in practice. Azure Crane Chick is either NOT a suitable replacement to the Wildhammer Gryphon Hatchling, or the strat needs an overhaul. If you do not get a luck miss from Xu-Fu somewhere along the line with the Flocker, you will lose.

Comentário de Vaeevictiss

Awesome guide! i just got back into pet stuff recently so i just leveled the pets you had here aside from ones that were already max or ones that you listed as comparable alternatives.

Ive only done it two weeks so far but this worked great. Got a bit nervous on Taran when two strong abilities missed; Moth Dust and Lift Off. Still managed to narrowly pull off a kill tho.

Thank you for this guide!

Comentário de gumby760

Taran Zhu is totally worthless strat. I fail 80% of the time and Chen Stormstout is almost as bad. Anyone have a strategy that actually works?

Comentário de Shnook

Chi-Chi.. I failed doing the original guide and I only had one snail at 25 so had to improvise a little and I managed to do it really easily and quickly.

Using Lambreta, a lesma I followed the first few steps as written in the new snail guide:

Meleca Ácida > Toque Gosmento > Mergulho > Meleca Ácida > Toque Gosmento

.. at this point my snail died, but bring in a pet that has Surto de Poder and you can finish Chi-chi off here. I personally used Pernas. But also Dragonetinho Lazúli and Chrominius could come in here too.. (that's if you've not used them in the previous rounds of course).

In my first stage I had the Blingtron/Kiryn/Mari lineup, so I managed (luckily) to avoid the use of Scooter and the others I mentioned above.

Edit: Sorry about the tags, not sure why only some work.. but you can see if you scroll over them what they should be.

Comentário de falconsight

Your Xu-Fu strat straight up gets me killed late in the tourney about 1/2 of the time. That's with P/P Fox/Moon Moon or S/S. There has got to be a better way.

Comentário de Deutherius

For Blingtron 4000 strategy, Core Hound Pup can be substituted by Chrominius with Bite, Howl and Ravage. As a dragonkin, he will take more damage, but that is easily negated by the self heal from ravage.

Comentário de gumby760

Yu'la strat is total garbage. Doesn't work for crap.

Comentário de averagehero

Your guide keeps getting better and better!
Next week will be the last week I run the tourney to get my last celestial pet. I've used your guide every week so far and I don't think I could have gone this far without it! There were times I thought that you had overlooked some mechanic or detail, but it always ends up playing into your plan perfectly. The work and insight you put in to planning these battles is impressive, and definitely appreciated by many.
Thank you so much for helping us get our celestial pets! Good work and many thanks!

Comentário de Caradnaur

Dunno if i'm so unlucky... I have all pets u suggested, all 25 level rare, i do everything exactly as it says in this guide and u know something? I can't even win one damn battle....

Comentário de holabola

Must all pets be rare quality, or can some be uncommon? I'm lazy xD

Comentário de 1235369

Pet battling seemed a little overwhelming when it first came out, so I stayed away from it for a while. But the achievements finally called to me loudly enough that I listened and I started doing it. Boring at first, but when I focused on catching rares and getting the Zookeeper title, the leveling becomes less monotonous until I got to level 15 and started fighting three at a time. I saw this guide a while ago, which kind of guided which rares I leveled up in my quest to catch a rare of everything, which I am now one pet shy of doing (freaking Qiraji Guardling...). It didn't take as long as I thought it would either.

I have reviewed your guide and used its suggestions to successfully (and rather easily) complete the Celestial Tournament twice now. A few of these fights can suffer from bad RNG, but I won't say I haven't also won a few from good RNG. So thanks for making this guide and making it easy for us to get our celestial pets.

This is one of the best guides on wowhead. After saying that, pretend I am a noob. What are the "P", "S", and so on. I know "S" would be speed, that's a givin. So help a noob out "lol". thz again for all your hard work. Great Job.

Comentário de Syio

Excellent guide; I breezed through this tournament the first time after investing effort into leveling the recommended pets. Your alternate pet list is a saviour too!

Comentário de Sqqueeky

In your alternates list, Amber Moth should be listed as seen in Original Wise Mari.

I'm compiling a levelling list for myself, and realised that there were several places where you use multiple pets of the same type: Amber Moth, Frog, Fox, several snails if using the snail strat, etc. I know you give a healing strategy, but I think it'll be safer if I just have enough duplicates to cover the strats I've decided to use.

Ahh, just realised that Sully and Wise Mari are in different groups so I shouldn't need duplicate Amber Moths and Frogs, yes? But a spare Fox is needed for Original Xu-Fu and several snails for Snailception + Taran Zhu.

Excellent guide, thanks!

(H = health, P = power, S = speed, B = balance)

Comentário de 1239144

I know everyone loves buttkissing comments, but real talk now.

The TARAN ZHU strat DOES NOT WORK EVER.

Why would the author put so much effort into something that is without a doubt complete and totally useless? Recommending a pet which one of the other pets is strong against and gets 2-shot? Really. Reconsider how you spend your time, author.

Comentário de 242469

Greetings!

I'd like to add a suggestion to the Snailception strategy for Chi-Chi:

My strategy with 3 snails is to always have the dive available for ethereal countering, so the rotation would be, more or less:

acidic goo
ooze touch
dive

switch to 2nd snail

acidic goo
dive

switch to 3rd snail

acidic goo
dive

switch to 1st snail

acidic goo
dive

..and so on. I found it to be the most reliable.

Comentário de blahahahah

Best Guide I have ever seen!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

Comentário de Briandris

I like how your alternate strategies are including harder to get pets! We spend hours farming/camping and leveling the rare ones and most guides (understandably) only show strategies for common easy to get pets. It's nice to see where you can use them in a battle and see them be as useful as they are rare:)

Comentário de Noritam

Hi!

I'm new to computer gaming in general and WoW in particular. My main is in Outland, one alt did the 90 boost from the WoD pre-order, and she's sitting on the Timeless Isle, literally shakin' in her boots, and there's an all but abandoned gonna-be-an-Alchemist-alt waiting somewhere in Teldrassil for me to get my act together.

So, why am I here? I've just fallen in love with Pet Battles. Serendipity gave me a rare skunk on my very first battle and I've been hunting rares ever since. Which means of course I killed one, in my excitement to finally locate it, I forgot all about the trapping. Never mind I had three level 9 to 11 pets taking on the teams in Terokkar Forest! doh!

I've been reading the internets today looking for something on Timeless Isle to do that won't be too scary, when I found your guide. Of course the first thing I read was no more Snowy Owls 'til next winter and a wait 'til June for the summer Qiraji Guardling. Seasonal Pets! But of course! Are these two the only ones or are there more? Is there a guide or a list somewhere you could point me to?

I've perused this guide, gotta lot of work to do before I start in on the Celestial Tournament but at least now I have a shopping guide of pets to look for as I level my main and my alt. One thing the 90-boosts are good for of course is running around looking for pets and recipes for the "real" toons! Spent four hours lost on Kalimdor looking for a fairy dragon sprite. Never did find them but saw some really cool places and learned a lot. Mainly that my navigation sucks!

So to recap my questions and prise them out of all the babble:

1. How many seasonal pets are there? Is there a list somewhere?

Off now to read your list in detail and see which ones are near where my two real toons are hanging out. Thanks for taking the time to consider my questions. Hope I'm not breaking too many rules with this post.

Nor.

Comentário de imbam4g3

Another alternative strategy for Pequeno Tommy Newcomer's Oondastazinho:
1st pet: lvl25 Gnomo Movido à Corda with Punho de Ferro, Consertar & Construir Torreta.
2nd pet: lvl25 Yeti Mecânico Pacato with Punho de Ferro, Chamar Raio & Canhão Iônico.
3rd pet: <lvl25 pet you want to level.

Unless you're really unlucky, your first two pets will be able to take care of Oondasta or at the very least bring him down enough so that your third pet can finish him off. Your third pet must be able to survive the splash damage from Oondasta's Feixe de Fogo Espiritual, which he will cast multiple times during the fight. Also it helps to have a speed higher than Oondasta (319), so you can finish him off without needing to survive a hit first. Depending on your pet's level and if you have any pet xp buffs, you can get around 1.5k xp this way.

Open with your Clockwork Gnome, build a turret. Gnome gets swapped for Yeti. Change weather to Lightning Storm, then spam Metal Fist until Yeti dies and his failsafe kicks in. Now use Ion Cannon. Oondasta then kills Yeti and you can switch back to your Gnome to build another turret and perhaps cast a Metal Fist if needed. When ready, bring out your sub-25 pet and finish off Oondasta. Keep an eye on Oondasta's spell cooldowns so you know what is coming when. Sometimes it's better to skip a turn with your gnome to let him soak the Impacto do Rufo and bring out your sub-25 pet.

Comentário de Jirki88

The Nodrassil Wisp strategy against Chi-Chi seem utterly broken to me. I've tried it twice and they get massacred. Ethereal always goes first and Chi-Chi is faster if at over half life, and his heals are pretty heavy. The Wisps don't stand a snowballs chance in hell.

Comentário de Mavfox

What is the substitute(s) for a Pandaren Monk supposed to be? I noticed you have a section for it, but it appears to be bugged/blank.

Otherwise awesome guide! I was looking for something exactly like this to get started on catching.

Comentário de Deien

Compliments before problems - Fantastic Guide, THANK YOU!
The first time I did the tournament using this guide, it all went well and I only had problems with one match where I had to adjust the pets.

Last night I did my second attempt and was completely successful up until I got to Xu-Fu. He was my 3rd to the last battle to win the tournament and complete my quest. After unsuccessful tries, I did the other 2 Celestial kiddies so that I would have access to any pets that survived those battles.

Over 80 pet deaths later I was down to no one left alive that was "old" enough and strong enough but Critters. Since 2 of 3 of his attacks are specifically good against Critters it didn't take long to finally convince me to give up - with just the one pet to go - Bummer! Thank Goodness the Stable Master doesn't care how many pets have to be revived!

What changed, you ask, between last week and this week? Xu hit with a Crit on every he threw, allowing him to bring himself back to full or near to full health every time he used it! I finally gave up at 2 AM my time and went to bed. /sigh Going to try again today. I am hopeful it was a bug and he will behave like he did last time, and like he did in the video that I just watched here. I watched his health in the video and I remembered correctly; he did not crit over 1000 hit points with every single . But in my battles last night he did. In one match he killed Swamp Croaker in one shot when he first came out for over 1600 and came back to deal over 1200 to the next pet!

The Swamp Croaker has which is why I put him in. I only see that ability on him. Going to try a team with him. Or a couple of them? lol IDK. Xu did well against all families last night, including Aquatic. But I guess I'll level my other 2 up to 25 and give it a shot.

Xu killed my Jade Dancer immediately, too, before she could cast to help me fight back. Maybe she will get a chance to cast it if gets used: I swear the computer makes us show our next attack so it can counter before it is thrown!

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the opportunity to "talk" about this with someone. I am surprised how much it helps to get it out there where you can read it and see it more clearly!

A general question about the Breed/Speed: If there isnt mentioned anything about a required minimum speed can i take any rare pet (of the suggested kind) and do not have to farm forever to get a 300+ or whatever pet? If not, can you please edit the required speed in the "pet list"?

Comentário de Kestis

Is there any way you could add the "old" alternate strategies back in. I had the teams down and had it so I could do the tourney without too much trouble then you removed the strategies that I was using for most of the trainers...

Comentário de thorackis

I have found that using the sunreaver micro centry on Zao usually has the disadvantage that when it first dies, it comes back to life.
This means it takes longer for the Zandalari to come in, sometimes with only 1 or 2 rounds left on lightning storm, if Zao misses.

When using the Wild Golden Hatchling I use tailslap or whirlwind first, then lightning storm, next round the Hatchling dies and Zandalari finish it in 2 rounds with just 1 Zandalari used.

First and Foremost, I wanted to say "Thank you". You saved my sanity. With your guide I have excellent luck with defeating the Tournament. I am now working on my 3rd pet purchase.

On a side note , one thing I've really appreciated about your guide is that I have learned about pet abilities and how they interact with each other. Before I mostly just like a pet because it was cute and had no thought to any other aspect.

Many Thanks!

Comentário de Raptra

Thanks for putting this together!
I saw you're having trouble with a cageable Blingtron team, here's a combo I've found works more often than not:

1) (I used Water Strider or Sea Pony, but I think any could work)

2) Electrified Razortooth (I believe I had best results with Rip, Shock, and Devour, since it is strong against the 2nd and 3rd opponents, but different combos have worked for me)

3) Spirit of Summer

Usually most of the team doesn't survive, but maybe you'll have more luck with it, hope this helps.

Comentário de 31866

On Yu'la, Flayer Youngling will NOT work - its humanoid attack deals less damage than her shield. So I ended up using Howlbomb with my trusty Menagerie Custodian as last pet. Geyser - Whirlpool - Howl - Bite - Surge of Power - Shock and Awe and she was dead.

I think they may have buffed Chi-Chi's speed. I used your original strategy and had no problems with it. Until last week, now Chi-Chi attacks before my wisps do (SS and an HS rare breed).

The Swarming dead approach seems to work well still.

Comentário de Sqqueeky

My commiserations for having to rework the guide, that reminds me of writing WoW addons only to have to rewrite them every patch when Blizz "fixes" things.

But stick with it, this is an absolutely awesome guide! 5/5

2 weeks of perfect trouble-free runs, and anticipating many more, all thanks to this guide. Thank you.

Comentário de Pinkiepieisfly

I collect pets but I don't pet battle, so with that in mind, I kept this guide tabbed in this entire week, leveling various pets suggested by it. I realized it'd take too long to level everything that I needed, so I checked the tournament to see what trainers were up that week, so that I could level the pets in priority.

After several days of pet battle dailies, I didn't have enough upgrade stones for everything... so I just did what I could and ran into the tourny regardless, hoping for the best.

I admittedly messed up once immediately upon entering (twice if you include the fact that I forgot stones de-level your pets...oops), but on the second 'official' try, I managed to get through everything (mess ups and all) to actually complete it.

While I'm unsure of which pet to get first (boyfriend's persistent about chi-chi but xu-fu looks amazing), none of it would be possible without stumbling upon this guide \o/

I NEVER intended to do this, ever, simply because I knew that I did not have the pets for it, did not have an idea of what I needed, knew it'd be too time consuming to go off of partial tips given by other people or incomplete strats, and so I just wanted to say thanks because this is a rare occasion when a guide has actually inspired me to do something... and properly, at that.

As I said, I don't do pet battles... I am the type of person that rages if RNG dislikes me and something goes wrong on the dailies.
So the fact that I managed to do this, thanks to your help (and users submitting extra info, even), just made me want to try to explain how much I appreciate it!

So... THANK YOU! You have no idea how grateful I am for this ♥ ~~(and sorry for the wall of text)~~

Comentário de vyamont

Wow I dont think ive seen anything quite like this. I mean I searched for many sites containing info on pets and I found it difficult to navigate them without becoming increasingly frustrated with terminology I didn't understand.

I've been using wow head for years and never realized that these kind of guides existed. You've really gone above and beyond to provide not only accurate up to date information but information that you adjust as better strategies become available. I expressly love the way you take other people opinions into consideration its a rare quality in the gaming world.

I hope you continue to provide up to date info as it becomes available because your exceptional at relaying it to us simply and effectively. I started from the first pet and worked my way through your guide Step by step and through the course of this learnt more than i knew even existed in the world of pet battles.

I'm not a gamer by any means so the more info I have the more confident I become Thank you for putting the excitement back into my wow I honestly had thrown my hands up at pet battling and was practically going to ignore it existed till my Son insisted I collect for him.....well one thing led to another and I found your guide.... Congrats....Keep it up...A+++

Love the guide 5 stars

One thing I have changed on Chen Stormstout on the Anubisath Idol Turn 6: Sandstorm I use Stoneskin instead. Gives me the damage reduction without the problems that the extra miss chance and damage reduction on your attacks that sandstorm gives.

Comentário de sixthfore

Thanks so very much for all your time and efforts! A great read.

I would just like to point out that the Kiryn Original Strategy fails for me multiple times on Terrible Turnip. Following the steps exactly, the turnip almost always dies before opponent Fluxfire even dies the first time.

Comentário de arpanu

Suggestion:
-against Yu'la the best pet is Mr. Bigglesworth. it can win almost alone, with any pet combination:
-ice tomb cast/ barrier when yu'lo goes up+pass for 1 turn
-pounce or claw the rest.

Comentário de 48932

Excellent guide; these strats have definitely made my life in the Celestial Tournament easier.

Looking through your strats, I noticed that you haven't listed a cageable strat for Blingtron 4000 yet.

All three of the pets in your Crabbit strategy have cageable alternatives which I have taken the liberty of assembling below (may not be all-inclusive).

Arctic Hare - Brown Rabbit, Snowshoe Rabbit and Spring Rabbit all have the Flurry/Dodge/Burrow moveset and speeds above 273.

Emperor Crab - Shore Crawler and Strand Crawler both have the Snap/Healing Wave/Shell Shield moveset.

Lava Crab - Pandaren Fire Spirit, Phoenix Hatchling, Searing Scorchling, and Spirit of Summer all have the Burn/Cauterize/Conflagrate moveset.

I haven't tested any of these myself yet; this is just me pointing at things that look workable that you may or may not have already considered in the course of coming up with Crabbit.

Good luck with any further testing you have in the works!

Comentário de djleeds

The original strategy failed miserably on Chi-Chi for me. This worked rather easily instead.

Open with Unborn Val'kyr
Turn 1: Curse of Doom
Turn 2: Shadow Shock

Can an "Elfin Rabbit" replace the "Snowshoe Rabitt" for the battle with "Wrathion"?

Comentário de Deihjan

Does anyone have a Rematch import/export code for ease of use for us lazybutt scrub trainers (me)?

Thank you for an amazing guide, I'm currently working on my pet list before leveling them up for the Tournament, but hopefully one day I will be as cool as those who have already done it. :3

You can substitute the Wildhammer Gryphon Hatchling in the Xuen strategy for Menagerie Custodian, with Zap, Shock and Awe, and Ion Cannon. I didn't have a non-critter pet with a speed stat of 305+ that also had stampede so I went with the mechanical bulldozer. Worked pretty well.
I DID have a lucky miss when I first brought out the Darkmoon Zeppelin, so take that into account.
Aaaand I win! Thank you so much for the guide. I just got Xu-Fu. Had the best name all thought up for him last night but now I can't remember. Oh well. Thanks again.

Comentário de darclyght

So if your out of everything and your cursing the yu'la fight send in 2 rabbits both with at least one speed stat.

burrow the lift off dodge right after he lands he will hit you once then re apply his shield and lift off. just chip away at him with scratch. 3rd pet is optional your rabbits will eat him alive.

Tim: Well, that's no ordinary rabbit.
King Arthur: Ohh.
Tim: That's the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on!
Sir Robin: You tit! I soiled my armor I was so scared!
Tim: Look, that rabbit's got a vicious streak a mile wide! It's a killer!
Sir Galahad: Get stuffed!
Tim: He'll do you up a treat, mate.
Sir Galahad: Oh, yeah?
Sir Robin: You manky Scots git!
Tim: I'm warning you!
Sir Robin: What's he do? Nibble your bum?
Tim: He's got huge, sharp... er... He can leap about. Look at the bones!

Comentário de Dawnshadow

I came up with another Xuen strategy (after a lucky crit, TWICE, killed both of my previously prepared teams.) This is heavily based on the standard strategy for Aki the Chosen. I did not real all the comments

1. Any pet with Call Lightning, ideally slower than Xuen (I used the Jade Hatchling)
2. Clockwork Gnome (1, _, 1)
3. S/S Cogblade Raptor (2, _, 1) (Other breeds may work, but you want to be faster than Xuen for Batter. My raptor's S/S, so that's the breed I used.)

And how you do this is Call Lightning to overwrite Moonlight, swap to gnome, Turret, swap to raptor, Exposed Wounds, Batter, Batter. If your raptor dies you should swap back to the gnome and summon another Turret, but mine didn't die.

If your Call Lightning pet IS faster than Xuen, using a filler ability on turn 1 and CL on turn two ought to still work.

(I also killed Chi-Chi with one snail and one emerald proto-whelp, but I don't know if proto-whelp vs. any AI tamer counts as "strategy." ;) )

Import codes for Rematch. All the strats should be listed (except Chen Stormstout's 'Happy Hour' - my imp isnt high enough level, which I will rectify and update shortly!).
When I replaced pets, I noted what I used instead. If you find any mistakes, please leave a reply so I can fix it (I triple checked everything, but.. :))

I've uploaded a complete list for rematch. It includes all celestial tournament fights with two teams for almost all trainers/pets (original and cageable) and all Pandaren trainers from the other guide with a free slot for a leveling pet.
Have fun

https://www.mediafire.com/?xqycvehubvmdx8e

Comentário de 32699

Just a suggestion, for the cageable Xu-Fu, Filhote de Xuen strategy, instead of reusing Sunreaver Micro Sentry, use the Yeti Mecânico Pacato instead.

the Yeti is slower than Xu-Fu, so it can call lightening to start the battle
the Yeti has a slightly lower power (273 v 325) but that's a difference of 60 dmg on the initial Chamar Raio and 5 dmg per hit, easily compensated for by Blingzinho and Tonque de Negraluna.
if something goes wrong and an ability misses, the Yeti has an Ion Cannon to clean up
Keeps the Micro Sentry full health for use against Zao (or full health coming in vs Xu-Fu depending on which you attack first)

Comentário de Briandris

On the guide for Yu'la it says turn 2 Shadow Slash but you have to pass because you are stunned from Casting Ghostly Bite on turn 1.

Comentário de Skepticus

Great guide , Today I finay did the celestial torunament !

Comentário de 93453

Thanks so much for the guide :) I love your style/formatting and all the detail you've put into this is great.

I'm still trying to earn up my battle team, and I was a bit confused while looking at the original strategy for Xu-Fu with the foxes.

The second fox is listed as just "Fox (P/S is best)". I believe that Raposinha do Ártico is the only P/S fox which I didn't realize for a while - maybe "Fox - Arctic Fox Kit is best" would be more helpful? Also I had a hard time reading the alternative pets section for that particular pet since Raposinha do Ártico is listed there rather than "Fox".

Just a small suggestion for improvement. Keep up the good work!

Comentário de 797868

Zao = Easily soloable with one Lil Bling. Works every time.
Xu-Fu = Blingbomb.

I love your two strategies on Chi-Chi and Yu'la, very good. I like to use Haunt instead of Ascension with my Valkyr though, it gives you a second use of her later on if one of your wisps goes down. Give it a try! Very reliable.

Thanks so much for such a great guide! You're so self-deprecating, but it looks great and has always had the info I needed. You rock!

Comentário de 847229

I wanted to say thank you again. I completed my Família Celestial today. The first time I ruthlessly slaughtered all my pets to no avail, I truly though that this would be unachievable.

Thanks entirely to your dedication to this guide, I have four new pets!.

For those working on it, good luck. If I can do it, anyone can

Comentário de Ansawa

So some substitutions for the Cageable strategies I worked out today (because I was helping out a friend and didn't have everything recommended at level 25):

Ion Goldbloom:
Sprite Darter Hatchling for Lesser Voidcaller. Arcane Blast/doesn't matter/Moonfire. Just needs to chew through the first half of Screamer's health and the other two pets can take care of the rest; I've actually substituted Thunderbolt on the MPD so that if Screamer somehow survives to a second Feign Death, it'll die on the back line.

Sully:
Wood Frog for Mojo. Functionally identical.

Chi-Chi:
Gu'chi Swarmling for Giant Sewer Rat. Swarm/Chew/Burrow. The fun here is using Chew on Chi-Chi's Ethereal round and then following with a Swarm, so Chew lands during Shattered Defenses.

Yu'la:
No cageable strategy yet, but we made do with my Ghostly Skull and his Feral Vermling (for Crush/Backflip) and Anubisath Idol. I think a Ghostly Skull, Dandelion Frolicker (Bite/Frolick/Kick), and Anubisath Idol might be able to do it. Have the Frolicker use Kick when Emerald Presence falls off.

Comentário de tecnicaz

thank you so much, woderful read!

Comentário de KingOfKingz2109

Nice guide, thanks dude!

But I've got a question. Does it matter which breed id the pets are? For example Bonkers:

Does it matter if he is H/P, P/P, S/S, P/S or H/S? In the list stands nothing. :(

Comentário de cohibadad

I use the This Little Piggy strategy for Taran Zhu but I use Creepy Crate instead of Wiggles (so I call it This little Creepy). Curse of Doom, Agony, Bone storm, switch to Lesser Void with COD + Prismatic switch to Stitched Pup Howl + Plagued Blood for Bolo then rinse repeat for Lin. Yen dies of Agony and never returns after Creepy Crate. Works great.

For Little Tommy I use Tranquil Mechanical Yeti, Treasure Goblin and Little Bling. Tranquil is just there to use Call Lightning before the switch, Treasure Goblin comes in for Wild Magic then coin toss. He usually dies after that but if he doesn't just use portal for Lil' Bling. Bling uses Make it Rain then Inflation. Works every time and best of all it takes less than a minute.

Comentário de J48Johnson

I tried a new pet team for Chi-Chi tonight and it worked like a CHARM!

Follow the guide with the Unborn Val'kyr. Use it as the guide says. For your second pet use a Toxic Wasteling, and the third pet a Viscidus Globule.
For the Wasteling, use attacks 1,1,2.
Globule uses 2,2,2.

After the Val'kyr is gone bring in the Wasteling. Use Acidic Goo, then Corrosion, then Spam Ooze Touch until dead.

I brought the Globule in, used one Creeping Ooze and Chi-Chi was down for the count.

This is the easiest Chi-Chi fight I have ever had.

Comentário de 1230812

Brilliant guide. I'd like to add that if you don't have Core Hound Pup you can use Electrified Razortooth in it's place, and if you don't have Terrible Turnip you can use Death Talon Whelpguard instead. The fights might be a little closer than the suggested but it's still very much possible.

Comentário de plokmijn12

Little Tommy Newcomer is easily beatable with Darkmoon Zeppelin, Pocket Reaver and Menagerie Custodian.

Fight should look like this:

(his)

1 - (Frill Blast)
2 - (Spiritfire Beam)
3 - (Crush)
4 - (Crush)
5 - (Crush will be used on Pocket Reaver)

Next, bring out Pocket Reaver.

1 - (Crush from previous turn)
2 - (Frill Blast)

Menagerie Custodian should be forced out now.

- If he has more than 550 HP use Shock and Awe then Ion Cannon
- If he has less than 550 HP use Ion Cannon

The crucial part is timing your Darkmoon Zeppelin's attacks so that your opponent doesn't use Frill Blast on it.

This strategy works everytime against him, providing you time it correctly.

Comentário de Holloween

I found that for Taran Zhu, Fossilized Hatchling, Blighthawk, and then Rapana Whelk works fine. Using the hatchling's Bonestorm works great at doing 1 to 1.2k party wide damage, and can be used twice before the hatchling dies (once at start of round, once right after he revives himself). The Death and decay DoT does a good 100 damage each round. I was able to do the entire battle with my hatchling going out first (he died the round before fiegn death was used, so I was able to use fly during feign death, which then helped me avoid blinding powder), and then my plague hawk using infected claw to kill Bolo and Li (they were down to about half health when both came in due to Bonestorm, and then I used Ghostly bite on Yen (which after his healing brought him down to about 400 health), to where 2 absorbs from my whelk killed him. I had no strategy other than "Do what was logical" and to take the Blighthawk and Rapana Whelk from the suggested list of pets to use. Take note I didn't crit once, and I missed 1 of my infected claws. If I managed to crit something and didn't miss the claw, chances are I wouldn't of had to use my Whelk at all.
In all likelihood, it can easily be done with 2 Fossilized hatchlings, which leaves a spot open if you wanna get some experience on a level 20+ pet :P

Thanks for your guide. Helped me a lot.
I Have just a few comments for people that haven't got a Rato Gigante de Esgoto or a Cãozinho-magma for Chi-Chi and Blingtron 4000.

1.You can swap the rat with Tiqueteco and use Agachar when Chi-Chi uses Etéreo.

2.You can swap the Corehound with Chrominius the HP it loses more than the Corehound you will get back with Assolar.

I went:
Follow guide until Corehound-part
Howl
Bite
Bite
Ravage (Banks down)
Howl
Bite (which does not go through because Chrominius will die here)
Send out Chamusquito Escaldante, follow guide

Comentário de Klaital1

You can actually solo Yu'la with Clock'em (obtained from brawler's guild). Just use Dodge to avoid the lift-off and otherwise just keep spamming Jab until its dead. There is slight rng involved in that if Jab misses more than once then clock'em will die first, but even in that case you shouldn't need more than one hit from whatever other pets your using.

Comentário de PoundsignTheTank

I can't thank you enough for this guide!
I was using wowpetbattle.com for all my information about the tournament. I ended up getting super frustrated and at a loss as to where to go from there since the majority of the pets they used were hard to obtain pets (like the Darkmoon Rabbit).

I had basically given up on the tournament; putting the Calfling of Niuzao on the "Want but will never have" list and tried to move on. Which made me very sad, because that whole storyline tied with the tanks really meant a lot to me, and having the Calfling by my side while I tank would have been the best feeling ever.

Then I found your guide one day while surfing through Wowhead, in a last ditch effort to find a way through the tournament. Your list of pets was extremely helpful! And then if I didn't have a certain pet, there was a list for that too!
I then went through and revamped my favorites list to see what all needed leveled/up-graded.
Its taken me some time (I'm a slow leveler. ;>.> ), but I'm getting close to having everything I need for the tournament! As I get closer and closer, my excitement grows for finally being able to reach my goal.

And for that, thank you. A million times over, thank you.

3 clockwork gnome, turret - metal fist

Comentário de Tirain

I have a suggestion to change out the Zao team. Mine is based on your guide, but I've traded out the Sunreaver Microsentry for the Tiny Twister.

This strategy sacrifices the Tiny Twister, but also wins in just 5 turns - every time.

Round 1: Call Lightning
Round 2: Fly By
Round 3: Wild Winds - Tiny Twister survives attack, dies to Zao's DoT afterwards.

Bring in either of the Zandalari pets.

Round 4: Black Claw
Round 5: Hunting Party

Between Wild Winds and Hunting Party, both buffed by Fly By, Call Lightning and Black Claw, Zao goes down hard - there is no Round 6.

Thank you for such an amazing guide! You are the reason why I now have each of the 4 celestial pets. :-)

Also of note: For the Xu Fu strategy involving foxes, I'm using a P/S and a P/B fox and since the first fox to go will always take the full hit from round 1, their speed actually doesn't matter - once you cast Dazzling Dance with the first fox, your team will now always go first no matter what. Might be worthwhile to remove that caveat.

Also, for Taran Zhu, I highly recommend the Tiny Sporebat for Li - Ghostly Strike and Creeping Fungus make quick work of both him and Bolo, while being resistant to at least one of their attacks as a flyer.

Awesome Guide... Thanks for your hard work.

Now I have a request :) You knew it was coming didn't you?

Would it be possible for you add a new tab to each one of the Celestials and add the third pet as the Elekk Plushie? As you probably already know, there is going to be a new achievement for using him to defeat the 4 Celestials. Which will reward you with An Awfully Big Adventure. Just an idea.......

A lot of testing is going on right now on Beta, and the comments are full of tests that people are doing. It's a PAIN to try and stay connected long enough to get it done :)

Comentário de solitha

So I don't know what I'm doing wrong... but after 3-4 tries I can't get through the scenario.

Last week was Wise Mari, Blingtron, and Kiryn.

My team for Blingtron using the Crabbit strategy:
Tolai Hare Pup S/B
Shore Crab H/H
Phoenix Hatchling H/H

My team for Kiryn using the original strategy:
Gusting Grimoire H/B
Terrible Turnip P/S
Darkmoon Tonk H/P

All pets 25 and rare. I've been following the strats step by step and just can't keep up. I might win one, but then lose the other... and since pets dying is part of the strategy, my only choice is to leave and start over, which became very frustrating very quickly.

Any pointers?

Comentário de 1135897

The celestial guide is so impressive, you deserve all the praise you get for it.
I've been doing the tournament for 4 weeks now and the celestial round never fails in any way.
I only face problems RNG based problems with the pre-round.
Especially Taran Zhu, one miss and I can basically start all over, which is why I do him first. I couldn't try the other 2 guides for Taran Zhu since I lack the darkmoon rabbit and mr. wiggles. I'm sure once I have those the RNG based problems will vanish. :)
I've been using the undead technique (suggested in the NPC page) with the crate, fozziled hatchling and blighthawk) and this seems to work for me.
Thank you a lot for all your work. Without you I'd probably never won this tournament.

Comentário de 598246

... I don't think you realize exactly what you're saying is needed for your guide. 36 pets minimum leveled to 25, many of which are worth upwards of 10k gold each or are rare drop chances from current tier end game content? That's ~100k gold and/or hundreds of hours of leveling.

There has to be an easier way.

Comentário de Sunhoof

This guide has helped me! Thanks for a very nice, well designed and easy to get what you need out of it. Not sure that it could be anymore helpful than it is! I trusted it so much that I took a couple days and a week at total just to level these pets in said guide.

While the Guide on Chi-Chi, Hatchling of Chi-Ji has helped me defeat it, I found myself having to restart the whole celestial tournament a few times. But keep in mind i was a newbie at it. One of those times I didn't restart it and tried a few extra pets I had. I just want to share my odd combo of pets i've used that not only won against Chi-Chi, Hatchling of Chi-Ji I've messed up their rotations and have still won with them. Going to try the Swarming dead strategy when I feel up to leveling more, my wisps must not be good enough :(

Netherspace Abyssal
Meteor Strike
and anything else in between until you feel he will die use:
Explode I've had him die before i could use it and still won

Gulp Froglet
Toxic Skin
use Frog Kiss until you feel he will die but on the safe side maybe use just once.
Corpse Explosion

Kun-Lai Runt
Deep Freeze
Mangle
Punch ++

*Oh and on another note I came back to write that thanks to this guide I have two of the celestial pets Chi-Chi, Hatchling of Chi-ji and Xu-Fu, Cub of Xuen

Thanks again!

Comentário de JaxOh1

I do wish to add an alternate stratagy to Zao, for those without the luck to have kneebiters.
Simular start to listed (Sunreaver, thunderstorm, Fel Immobulate), but then..swap in Rabid Nut Virmin 3000.....Rabid, followed by 2 Metal Fist kills it before wish, and outside a random Metal fist missing (has 95% chance to hit), is a garrenteed kill without losing a minion

Comentário de DOLamba

Hey mel.

Thanks for a fabulous guide!

I tried the Celestial Tournament ONCE, having to back out when there was only Yu'La and Xu'fu left.

Simply ran out of lvl 25 pets. Hahaha. :D

Anyways; Being the lazy perfectionist I am, I immediately turned to one of my good friends called Mr. Google and he showed me this guide. At first I was sceptical that the first link would actually work, since Mr. Google usually play pranks every now and again, but this time he was spot on!

Tried the tournament again and completed with only 6 pets dying in total. :D

Anyways. That was last week.

This week I have the trio including Wise Mari and I quickly noticed how I literally had none of the pets listed as lvl 25 rares.

So I had to figure out what you used in your tactic and why which brought me to the Gilnean Raven (balance breed using peck, call darkness and nocturnal strike), Lil' Bling (ninja breed, using inflation, Extra Plating and Make it Rain) and my Farmer Nishi demolisher; Dancing Water Skimmer (speed breed, Water Jet, Healing Wave and Pump).

Only Lil' Bling died and the other two hardly got a scratch.

The way I did it was; Peck -> Call Darkness (to remove the weather) -> Nocturnal Strike -> peck until dead -> swap to Lil' Bling -> use extra plating -> Inflation (hits 3 times, so first time will remove the block, next 2 attacks hit) -> Make it Rain after inflation -> Extra Plating -> Inflation -> make it Rain (rinse and repeat until Lil' Bling dies) -> swap on Water Skimmer against the element thingie and just wash it away. Didn't even get to a point where I needed to use Pump. Water Jet and Healing Wave did it nicely. :-)

Thanks again!

Won my first tournament tonight, after 2 weeks of collecting, leveling up pets, reading all over, preparing 20 sets of pets for battles, i got my xu-fu pet :). Most problems i had with big Xu-fu, but at end i beat him with 2 foxes and mechanical gnome.

Comentário de Tsumugiya

For the Xu-Fu fight. I used the Arctic Fox Kit and did the Dance followed by Howl. He died since he wasnt the recommended speed build. But I brought out the Son of Animus and used Batter twice and Xu-Fu just melted. Don't know if there is any form of alternate strategy you can find from that info.

Comentário de elizaday418

this is easily one of the best guides ive ever used. the information given, the layout... such an excellent guide. congratulations, OP.

Comentário de oko123456

Thanks a lot for this post, it really helps, at least in finding some strategies with my own pets based on some here.

In chi-chi's one, the swarming death, for me it fails like... one of every two, and it is very frustrating beacause it means begging from scratch again...

Do someone has some other easily cagable one for chi chi?

anyway thks a lot

Comentário de leto504

Having some trouble with Taran Zhu using the normal strategy. I find if my moth dust puts him to sleep, he switches and then I'm lost lol. Any suggestions? I'm going to try to switch dust with moth balls and give it a try that way.

Comentário de Manaprincess

Hey Mel9525,

I just wanted to say THANK YOU for this really comprehensive guide! With the help of your guide I've been able to collect 2/4 celestial pets XD. Some of my teams with my owns subs have been a little shaky with RNG so i'll be working on some more of your suggested teams in my downtime :)

your awesome!

Comentário de leto504

Hey Mel, quick question. This week for me I have Blingtron 4000. Reading the guide, I noticed something for Banks.

Turn 6: Howl
Turn 7: Burrow
Turn 8: Thrash
Turn 9: Thrash
Turn 10: Howl
Banks should be dead at this point

Should there be a Thrash after the Howl? Or does the Howl come after Banks is dead, before you switch to your elemental?

Comentário de oko123456

Found another way to kill Xu-Fu, pretty obvious provably but anyway it may help someone.
Using sunreaver micro-sentry, clockwork gnome, and garden moth

Beggin with sunreaver
1 call ligthning

Swap to clockwork gnome
2 Build turret
3 Metal fist
Continue metal fist, and if lucky use Build turret agains

When dead, swap to sunreaver
If call ligthning still up
Fel Immolate
else
Call Ligthning

If sunreaver were to die, swap to moth and use moth balls and alpha strike

If someone whants to try it I would appreciate some feedback.
Thanks

Comentário de Aethrios

Like everyone else, I wanted to say thanks for assembling this guide. I worked through it and managed to, with some substitutions, get through the Set One week, and now proudly am running around with my Zao (I'm a tank). In particular, I was a fan of the substitution lists and round-by-round details, it really made my two attempts quite smooth.

Keep on doing what you're doing, this was essential for me to get through the tournament!

Comentário de DOLamba

Hey Mel.

I got to think of something that you can proberbly answer much sooner than I can find out myself - and I've given up on finding a PM function here on Wowhead.

Do you know if the fights are more or less scripted to do the same every time? (or at least run a priority list like Wastewalker Shu, Aki the Chosen, etc.)

If so, couldn't it be an improvement to simply list what you've observed as their common rotation to make it easiest on people subbing a pet in if they don't have the suggested? Not that I mind thinking myself - or making others think a little - but you've pretty much already done everything else for us. :D

What I mean is like the Chi-Chi fight where it uses tranquility, then fire quills and then ethereal on cooldown. (I recall that's how it does)

And pretty much keep that rotation up. I can't even remember if it actually skips doing tranq if it's at full health. I thought you'd know stuff like that. :-)

Again, thank you for the guide already.

Comentário de SFFCorgi

Bandeeto has a good team and strategy against Lorewalker Cho here in the NPC-page comments. I just used it tonight, as I don't quite have the pets in your two listed strategies, and it worked beautifully.

Comentário de Aintshe

Thank you Mel! I won my 1st Celestial Tour. today, thanks to your guide.
Against Wrathion, my 1st team died, so I used infected squirrel h/p, nether faerie p/p, nexus whelp p/p.
I won with two pets having >500 health left.
Thank you

Comentário de 1220905

Thankyou for a great guide!

I wanted to mention that for Tommy Newcomer, the Zao original strategy is even better for defeating Tommy than the current Tommy one, with the added bonus of not even having to switch, because Tommy's first move makes them switch! So you use the exact same lineup like from the Zao strat: Sun Reaver, and two Zandalars.

Sun Reaver casts Call Lightning and then gets switched out by Lil' Oondasta's first move, so no need to switch!

Zandalar casts Black Claw.

Now, even on the chance that one Zandalar dies, two Zandalar Hunting Party moves finish him off.

4 move strat, wins EVERY time.

Comentário de 1357410

For Shademaster Kiryn
i am using infected squirrel with 1. Diseased Bite 2. Rabid Strike 3. Consume
start with
1. Rabid Strike
2. Diseased Bite
3. Consume
4. Diseased Bite
At this point Nairn is dead if it doesnt miss.
then he swaps to his mechanical pet
5. Rabid strike
6. Diseased Bite
7. Diseased Bite
this pet(Stormoen) dies also and failsafe revive again.
At this point squirrel dies. And i swap pandaren water spirit with Water Jet, Whirlpool, Geyser
1. Water Jet to kill Stormoen second time
2.Geyser
3.Whirlpool
4.Water Jet
Pandaren dies.
Then switch to Adonized Robo Cub Demolish, Repair, Supercharge
then its up to just 1 hit from it. and finished the fight.

Comentário de Briandris

So I feel like Foxes were nerfed or Xu-Fu was buffed. Three weeks in a row Xu-fu has killed my second fox before I could Flurry after the howl. Then he heals from killing it and I lose the fight. Anyone else noticed this?

EDIT: 4th week in a row. This is no longer a viable strategy. I'll have to level up Li'l Bling I guess.

Comentário de Typhoneus

Absolutely fantastic guide. Really helpful for me, who is a newbie to the Celestial tournament and pets in general!

One small thing, the Chi-Chi rotation seems a little off. I think it's off by one turn or something :)

Other than that, definitely recommend this guide!

Comentário de valepu

Hello :) I've discovered this strategy a bit late it seems, i have my own strategies at the moment but some could use improvement as they don't always work so i think i will use some of your strategies next week.
The real reason i'm writing this comment is just to compliment you for the great guide and thanks for including my Bigglebomb strategy!
If you want i can share with you my other strategies to be included in the guide (not all of them are made by me though but i really don't remember which ones, also i have edited some of them from the original ones...but i don't remember which ones either :P ), none of them are in your guide (apart, obviously, from Yu'la) though 2 of them are very similar (The original strategy for Cho and "The Swarming Dead")
I might add that Shademaster Kirin can be used to heal your pets too (as long as your pet is not almost dead because you will receive very little damage in the 2nd turn if you use Wish to heal)

Comentário de Alfa

For the Celestial bosses, I had four pets(one to heal) to defeat all four battles.

1.Pandaren Water Spirit
2.Chrominius
3.Menagerie Custodian(any other pet should work, I just use him for for big hits)

Magical Crawdad to heal

Save Yu'la for last to heal with Crawdad
Geyser -> Whirlpool -> Swap to Chrom -> Howl -> (Bite for Zao) -> Surge of Power

Your Chrom might die during Yu'la(but make sure its healed 100% before starting) but that's okay, just switch to your third pet.

Chi-Chi, Hatchling of Chi-Ji Got him with Howlbomb after my original team got killed. Water Elemental was not full health but survived long enough.

Comentário de Cartouche

I completed the tournament today. What a long hard slog to get all the right pets leveled (glad that part's over). Thank you for all your hard work as a pioneer. I'm not sure I would have had the patience or fortitude. Today I stood on the shoulders of giants :) While I had trouble with a couple of the guides and had to improvise with my own strategies, overall it was well done, sir.

Comentário de 1367664

First of all I would like to add to the many thank-yous for posting this fabulous guide. I have been following it while leveling pets and so far it has worked great.

Since I have been playing this game since classic, and have always been a pet collector, I have most of the ultra rare/impossible to still obtain pets in the game. I have noticed that this guide doesn't include any of those impossible/really hard to get type of pets: and for good reason. People who don't have the collection I have also want to be able to beat the celestial tournament. That doesn't stop me from wondering though if you, or any of you, have any suggestions regarding which of these pets are useful: I would really love to see these babies get some action.

Comentário de DaylarFarshot

I use a different combo for Little Tommy Newcomer

Starting Pet: Wild Golden Hatchling

Turn 1: Lift Off (To avoid Frill and to get that extra damage)
Turn 2: Lift Off continued...
Turn 3: Call Lightening (death)

2nd Pet: Clockwork Gnome

Turn 4: Turret
Turn 5&6: Metal Fist his brains out. Hope he misses at some point.
Turn 7 if lucky: Drop 2nd Turret (death).

3rd Pet: Menagerie Custodian

Turn 10-Win: Lock-On

Comentário de Aydwen

First off let me say that this guide is incredible. I would've wasted hours upon hours without the help of this guide, so thank you very much. But I have one question for you about a specific strat. For the Clock'Em Out strategy against Yu'la, why do you say to use Counterstrike as your 5 ability instead of just using Jab again? Counterstrike does less damage unless Yu'la were to attack first (which he doesn't). I have supplemented Jab with Counterstrike for my 5th attack because I don't understand your reasoning for it. If you have the time I would really appreciate your input.

Thank you again for all of your hard work.

Comentário de CyberForte

Hey there, nice guide! Just a quick suggestion, if you wanted set of cagable pets for Blingtron, I thought I'd post a team I had some success with. My friend Larkspur from the pet forums said you might have been looking for one.

I used S/S Jademist Dancer (Steam Vent/Rain Dance/Acid Rain), P/P Lil' Bad Wolf (Claw/x/Howl), and P/B Living Sandling (Sand Bolt/Sandstorm/Quicksand). Even with a little bad rng, this team has proved very reliable for me, and only the sandling is even expensive. Hope this is useful!

Comentário de 1352392

-Defeating the 4 Celestial Pets with 4 Pets-

1. Pandaren Water Spirit
2. Chrominus
3. Magical Crawdad (healing on Yu'lo)
4. Any pet that can do big damage in one turn.

Always start with Pandaren Water Spirit:
* Geyser
* Whirlpool
-- Swap to Chrominus
* Howl
* Surge of Power

= Dead.

Note: For Zao, you will need to Howl>Bite>Surge

Don't forget to heal after every battle (so save Yu'lo last).

Comentário de 1373777

For Yu'la, I use:

Peddlefeet
Peddlefeet
Peddlefeet

On my server, Peddlefeet is only 200-300 gold at the AH. Also easy to get during the Valentine's World event.

I'm shocked that Peddlefeet has not been listed here.

You could also use Scourged Whelpling for the third slot.

:)

Comentário de 1373777

For Zao, I use:

Arctic Fox - Anything with dazzling dance and howl
Spider with brittle web and spiderling swarm

Comentário de 1373777

For Wise Mari, this works for me:

Gilnean Raven
Cinder Kitten
Dancing Water Skimmer/Ethereal Strider

Comentário de 1373777

Blingatron 4000:

Thundertail Flapper (know the rotations)
Electrified Razortooth
Lil' Ragnaros

Comentário de 659423

In the fight against Wise Mari i had trouble with the original team on the wisp and wiped. The mechanical dragon didnt have any substitutions and i didnt have the pets available for the other teams. I ended up using a garden moth cause my amber moth was dead and in place of the mechanical dragonling i used an infinite whelpling i used its lv10.lv2 and lv20. with the lv ten ability it can cause the opponent to fall asleep at random which makes it a bit unpredictable so i cant exactly map out the fight but it did work pretty well, the whelplings lv20 ability helps with the wisp healing itself and the lv2 ability helped heal myself against its high damage attacks and when they fall asleep mari switches them out the next turn so it can give you a free shot because of the one turn delay for switching a pet. idk if it works flawlessly but it worked for me on my first try. hope this helps and good luck

Comentário de ravenaia

sorry to say, but your tactics on Tharan Zu dont work at all...they are repeadetly countered with HEAPS of misses,and yes, i use the suggested pets , on suggested ability's and breeds and they are indeed all 25 rare's.
It simply doesn't work the way you suggest;

Comentário de 699225

Taran Zhu strategy is garbage. Bolo swapped to Li before my moth died.

I've been finding better pets to use in the comments sections of the individual NPCs. You're better off going there than reading this guide.

Comentário de 1380297

I have a nearly invincible way to beat Little Tommy Newcomer. You need a Yeti Mecânico Pacato, a Gnomo Movido à Corda, and some other mechanical whose health is less than the gnome.

Yeti skills: metal fist, call lightning, ion cannon
Gnome skills: metal fist, (whatever, I never use spot 2), build turret
Other mechanical: use skills that will do max unbuffed damage to beasts

Open with the yeti (he's faster than Oondasta): call lightning

Oodasta will hit you with Frill Blast and that will bring in the gnome.

Gnome (he's also faster): build turret

Swap back in your yeti. Oodasta will do Spiritfire Beam, probably. Doesn't matter.

Yeti: Ion cannon

Your yeti will die while he's recovering. If you're lucky, you'll get in 1 metal fist. Doesn't matter. The turret is doing lightning buffed damage all along. When the yeti dies, bring back the gnome.

Gnome: build turret, and follow up with metal fist until the gnome dies, too.

Bring in your last mechanical and go crazy with the unbuffed damage. You won't be able to outlast Oodasta to put buffs on.

... And you're done. With good rng, I've used this to level mechanical pets from as low as lvl 19 in the last slot. On a bad day I have to do it two or three times.

Comentário de Azerious

For Chi-Chi's Swarming Dead strategy, I like to sub in the Alpine Hare instead of the Sewer Rat. After Voodoo Figurine dies and Chi-Chi is about to go Ethereal, using Dodge is better than having to pass the turn.

Comentário de Mokal

Any update plans for this? everyone got 100 % chance to hit :S

Comentário de 1384579

I think that The Xu-Fu original tactic has become redundant now, tried it twice and failed with Xu-Fu on 63 and 114 health respectively.
I don't know whether this is my bad luck or a recent change to Xu-Fu, any confirmation would be nice :)

Dear Mel,

THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU.

There is no way I would have even finished one run, much less gotten my 4th celestial pet tonight, without your two guides. Your stuff would make an excellent addon.

I certainly hope you get enough downtime from work to help out us less-than-great battlers on Draenor!

Comentário de 1116860

How to beat Wise Mari?
Carpe Diem continuously hit me and all my back row pets, so when I finally defeat him, any of my dragonkin (I don't have Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling) it's about half health and Spirus kill it in 2 or 3 blows (not only that it heals itself for 500-600) so I absolutely have no way to defeat it him. Can someone bring alternate ways?

Comentário de 1148268

I just watched my friend do Taran Zhu according to "This Little Piggy (cageable)". I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but there is an issue with the written strategy.

You say:
Turn 5: Curse of Doom
Turn 6: Prismatic Barrier
Swap to Stitched Pup
Turn 7: Howl
Turn 8: Plagued Blood

Should there be a "pass" for the Stitched Pup's first turn? Stitched Pup is faster than Bolo, so Howl on the first turn (turn 7) simply got blocked by Prismatic Barrier. Or some mention that if Prismatic Barrier is still up, pass on the first turn. He was still able to finish the fight but it's a bit difficult since the fight is really different after that, and it was really close.

I did the original strategy this week with Shimmershell Snail, Blighthawk and Amber Moth. The strategy doesn't say what to do if Moth Dust sleeps which causes Chen to switch pet back to Yen, so I had to improvise the rest of the battle.

Comentário de EllyKat

Just wanted to say thank you for all the hard work that's gone into this incredibly helpful guide!

I struggled with the Tournament when I first started trying it, and I happened to stumble across this guide - and it's been invaluable for completing the tourney darn near flawlessly every week! Any time someone asks for information/advice on how to complete a tamer in the tournament, this is the FIRST place I direct them to.

Thanks again for all the hard work on this amazing guide! =)

Comentário de Ramzi

Awesome Guide!

But there is 1 point i would like to mention, can you add that Bonkers needs to be a certain Breed for the fight against Yu'la, Broodling of Yu'lon. as you didn't put it in the original pet list details.

apart from that its an awsome list :) many thanks for it :D

Comentário de jhneoh

Iron Starlette is great vs Screamer

Wind Up, Supercharge, Wind Up, dead Screamer without him ever using Feign Death. Then use Toxic Smoke against Trike until you die.

Zandalari Anklebiter finished off Trike quite easily and any random dragon should be able to kill Chaos without too much hassle.

Comentário de Graywolf78

Did they change the stats of Chi-Chi. Seems MUCH faster now. My wisps which are 322 speed always go second, and when I last checked Chi-Chi had 400+ speed. I can't beat it now. All the others still work according to this guide, just not Chi-Chi. The standard group worked fine prior to WOD release.

Comentário de 94891

Original strategy failed 5+ times in a row on Taran Zhu, with no successes to date for me. It is time to remove or modify it. Yen does not use Feign Death when after you kill Bolo. Instead, he stuns Blight Hawk (this happens when the Ghostly Bite stun would wear off, therefore, stunned for 2 rounds, match essentially hopeless). Feign Death doesn't happen when advertised, and it ends up with Li versus Rapana Whelk, and Li just uses Bandage to stay alive until whelk is dead.

Finally succeeded on the 9th attempt, only because the Moth Dust stunned its opponent twice. Essentially, this fight never goes as the guide says.

Comentário de Nulanna

I love your guide and have used it as a reference extensively to fill out my battle pet "must have" for leveling and the tournament. But I am curious why your guide indicates that its up to date for warlords? I don't see many changes to any of the strats, and I came here hoping for 2 pet strategies on these tamers in order to complete . Was sadly disappointed :(

Comentário de Nyazin

This guys guide on the first trainers is good, but i felt against the celestials it was too much pets and chaos.
I found and better way, using fawn, chromius and pandaren water spirit (kun-lai runt offpet). Fawn is only used to heal up after each fight, que with either chi-chi or zao cuz they don't hit you on the first attack. Use fawn first, and heal with bleat ability and forfeit -> repeat (other pets with bleat is also viable. Do this until full health after each boss downed. Save one of those (chi-chi / zao) for last since i kno for a fact they dont dmg on first attack. Pandaren water spirit uses geyzer and whirlpoor, switch to chromius and use howl then surge of power, this is a insta combo u can use everywhere. During this I always used kun-lai runt as first pet just to be safe though it should not be needed. Used his frost shock to slow, then deep freeze to stun, while stunned i swapped to water spirit and did the rotation - > healed -> next fight. But thanks for the rest of the guide, helped alot.

Comentário de 1427964

Thank you for taking the time and effort to make this extremely helpful and nicely organized guide. Cheers to you.

Comentário de Puidwen

while this is a good guide i have two prefer stats for the celestials themselves. On yu'la i like to use three shrines flys with scratch, cocoon strike, and glowing toxin. Keep the toxin up, use cocoon on her fly and fill with scratch.

On chi-ji I like to use an brute force approach. a unborn val'kyr two nexus whelpings. Curse of doom, fill with shadowslash, and unholy ascension right before you die the first time, then unholy ascension again. arcane storm, mana surge. On a side note i got by using a level 20 common whelping for one of my whelpings.

Comentário de ze00

Question - On Sully "The Pickle" McLeary you have listed a Frog with +264 speed, are you meaning anything over 264 or exactly that amount?

Searching for a "Frog" with that speed and find many over it, like Mojo - is 289 sorry for the silly question, but starting to work on this after being gone for almost all of MoP and the Breed system is still kind of new to me.

Comentário de godzilla4988

If anyone is having issues with any of these fights still, go to the opponent's page and there are good comments there. I was having a terrible time for some reason with Chi-Chi all of a sudden and someone on Chi-Chi's page suggested using Pandaren water spirit and Chrominius to 2-pet it and it has worked like a charm every time. It has become by go to strat for that fight and should maybe be added here to the list.

Comentário de 323412

Some of these strategies' pet selections need to be re-examined for viability. It's not that they won't work, its just that most players aren't going to have a lot of the rare pets that the teams are demanding.

Using Bonkers for instance. That is a SUPER rare pet but he is included in every single match up against Yu'la.

Comentário de Tertiam

Just tried out a new strategy for Zao, and it worked like a charm. Voodoo Figurine with move set 2/2/2, Marsh Fiddler with move set 1/1/1. Use the Voodoo Figurine's "Wild Magic" on round 1, then use "Flame Breath", Then use "Rot", at this point, all you should have left is Voodoo Figurine's invincible round for being undead, so use it to refress the "Wild Magic", then bring out the Fiddler and "Swarm" away! He was dead very quickly.

Comentário de mhmoore

I finally beat this today, at least the first 3 and this is how I did it, I got a lot of stuff off this page, some worked, some didn't. I use pet battle teams and I have a crap load of pets, this way I can look at the side bar, compare and make sure I don't have the same pet in more than one battle.

My go to team for the Celestrials as Pandarean Water Spirit, Chromius, and Mr. Biggleworth.
Thank you Sasquatch 1955 for this http://i.imgur.com/cR9CMcx.png Worked like a charm, do follow directions. Heal in between each battle at Yu'La, I used a two teams named CT-Heals-1 and 2. I used a fawn and already had Chrominus and the Water Spirtit loaded. I have 2 of each so it really makes it easy.
Chi-chi, Water spirit...1st geyser, then whirlpool, SWAP to Chrominus Howl, then surge, geyser and whirlpool drop,Chi-chi...dead.
Zao, Water spirit, same as above, SWAP to Chrominus Howl, Bite, Surge....geyser and WP drop...Zao dead.
Xu'fu..same as for Chi, Chi
any time u got damage on any of these go to Yu'la and use heal (fawn, bleat) forfeit. Rinse and repeat as needed.
Yu'la change lineup, start with Mr. Biggleworth..claw, ice tomb, ice barrier PASS, claw, claw, repeat.Mr. Biggs soloed her.

This day I had Wrathion, Zhu, and Stormstout. I have beaten these guys 4 times now with same team.As usual, leave Wrathion till last, in case u gotta heal someone, I didn't.

Zhu, Lost of Lordaeron, rare, H/H...shadow slash, siphon life, bone prison (will keep them from switching out)
Flamering Moth, rare, H/S..alpha strike, cocoon, and moth dust.
Fungal Moth, rare S/S...alpha strike, cocoon, and moth dust

Stormstout, Darkmoon tank, missle, shock and lock-on
Kun-Lai runt, rare, P/B...thrash, mangle and rampage.
Mirror Strider, rare, B/B...water jet, healing wave, pump.

Wrathion, Mud Jumper, rare, H/B..water jet, mudslide and bubble.
Scourge Whelpling, rare, H/H, tail swipe, death & decay, plagued blood.
Anuibisath Idol , crush, stoneskin and deflection.

I'm not gonna tell you exact rotation for every battle cause it has been my experience, things change. We're playing a program, and I know that, but these teams and paying attention to what the other guy is doing, helps...alot.

Comentário de Flutterberth

i use this guide every week and it never fails me :) if there is a pet in a particular group that i don't have, i tend to farm it or just mix and match from the different groups posted. Gave me a kick up the rear to level some of my pets too ;) thanks mel!

Comentário de morginar

Any possibility of this guide being updated with Wod pets?

Comentário de ElicaQT

VERY good guide! I love that you made a list over alternative pets too, made it possible for me to finish lvling the team much faster. Almost every step was spot on. I failed once on Chi-Chi cus I missed with my first Flash. I used a Nexus Whelpling in a new team (combined with Jademist Dancer) and they 2 manned Chi-Chi. Used Geyser-Rain Dance-Jade Claw til the Dancer died. Then Brought in the Whelpling and used Arcane Storm (np if Chi-Chi dodges the damage), then Mana Surge. Chi-Chi dead. I've only tried this once, so maybe I was lucky, but a tip for those that can use this combo after the main one fails.

Awesome job! Cookies for you^^

Killed Yu'La with Dark Whelping, Kun-Lai Runt, Frostwolf Ghostpup. The Runt and Ghostpup did the damage.

Comentário de Morwo

i like to request an Elekk de Pelúcia strategy for Uma grande aventura. you know all the things. (=

Comentário de dda23

For Chi-Chi, if you use Un'born Valkyr, Emerald Proto-Whelp, Emerald Whelpling you can go:

Curse of Doom
Unholy Ascension
Emerald Presence
Emerald Bite
Emerald Bite
Emerald Bite (with crits Chi-Chi will die before you have to use Whelpling)

If Chi-Chi kills your Proto-Whelp:
Moonfire
Emerald Bite until Chi-Chi dead

90% of the time I only need the Valkyr and the Proto-whelp

Comentário de Branin

A strategy that I've found to be very reliable when facing Taran Zhu is simply having three Abominaçãozinha, each with Cutilada, Consumir Cadáver and Explosão de Cadáver. Simply spam Cutilada, switch when you're stunned, use Explosão de Cadáver on the undead passive round and use Consumir Cadáver to heal the second and third pet as necessary.

Another pet added in Warlords of Draenor that I think fits in very well in a lot of strategies is Ikky. It does require some investment since it's only available at uncommon but at rare it's absolutely devastating. As far as I know it's the only flying pet that has access to both Garra Negra and Revoada. 325 base attack and the early speed advantage the flying family bonus gives make this pet absolutely devastating.

Comentário de Redwolfie7

I know I'm a little late to the game, but I decided to tackle the tourny this xpac while I wait for 6.2 to drop. For the life of me I couldn't beat them, Either RNG got me or I didn't have the right set up. So I went and collected AND leveled every single pet you suggested and followed your guide and my goodness, I wish I had done that first because it was made so easy and I could understand it and completed each fight with no issue. I gotta say, thank you so much for all the effort you put into this, I dont think I could have done it without you, and it still worked out very well with the new achievement "an awfully big adventure" where you need the useless elekk in your team and I was able to complete that as well. Love this guide!

Comentário de kyukket

alternate strategy for Pequeno Tommy Newcomer uses:

Microssentinela Fendessol (1,1,1)
Blingzinho (2,2,1) (make sure he's in the 2 slot)
Aranha do Crepúsculo (2,2,2)

open with Chamar Raio (Microssentinela Fendessol will get switched with Blingzinho due to Impacto do Rufo)
apply Blindagem Extra
use Chuva Dourada and then Inflação (Oondastazinho will take extra dmg from all of those little hits due to Chamar Raio)
once Blingzinho dies, switch to Microssentinela Fendessol and cast Chamar Raio again if he's not dead (otherwise, go to Aranha do Crepúsculo)
use Enxame de Aranitas (Oondastazinho should be dead)

hope this helps!

Comentário de cjr902

First off, I love this guide... really... a lot. Second, back before I had a Sunreaver Micro-Sentry I had to kind of improvise on Xu-Fu, I used the skywisp moth Mariposa Lumecéu with cocoon strike and call lightning, I found it was able to avoid the damage from Xu's moonfire before putting out call lightning. Also, he takes a lot less damage from Xu's beast abilities.

Comentário de 1495566

Works very well. Thank you so much for the excellent guide. Taran Zhu was tough as I didnt have one or two pet in original strat and new strat so based on my experience with pet battle I chose substitute pets instinctively and it worked after two attempts. Celestial pets were so easy by simply following the guide. I didnt know about the breed and only found after installing PetBreedID addon that my alpine foxling was S/S which seems the reason I had no prob with xu-fu. I too am trying to figure out my own strategy using the rare and expensive pet I have. Without this guide I would have wasted tons of time so thank you so much!

Comentário de alphaomega16

Spent the last 3 days getting and leveling and buying flawless stones to get the recommended teams and you know what, first guy I come across, Taran Zhu, cant do him. His rotation isnt what it says on this page, its all off. Why would you recommend dust for moth knowing it could put them to sleep and switch them round.

Comentário de Rolou

As someone just getting into pet battling again (or trying to after trying it for the first time in MoP) and someone who wants to get the celestial pets, thank you so, so very much :D

Now to level these pets :P

Comentário de osephala

The Xu-Fu tactic does not work, and I've tried it 5 times in a row with the recommended pets/breeds. The foxes die in 2 hits.

Comentário de GDerkon

Just finished getting all the pets... Thanks so much for this guide, but it seems Blizzard tweaked the encounters, so... for example the Xu Fu encounter using the foxes is mostly luck now, when before worked like a charm.. its still doable with the other strategies tough.. so, a revision wouldnt be bad.

Thanks again!

Comentário de tuxedobob

I didn't have any luck with the strat provided for Blingtron, but here's what worked, using other 25s I had (probably for this):

Scooter the Snail
Ooze Touch
Acidic Goo
Dive

Goo, Dive, Touch, repeat.

Ashstone Core
Feedback
Stoneskin
Instability (you can't stun critters)

Even though Instability missed twice, I still killed off Banks. Stoneskin reduces SO MUCH damage.

Phoenix Hatchling
Burn
Immolate
Conflagrate

Standard rotation. 2311. A lucky crit helped here, but I finished the last pet with 925 health still on the phoenix.

Comentário de snipercartman

So I don't want to be "that guy" but when you spend about a week looking for and leveling up about 70 pets then go to the tournament and barely pull it off because the team listed here didn't work and you only had a limited number of additional pets that could be used without compromising the other battles you have in order to finish the tournament you become a very happy individual.

Xu - Fu battle almost cost me.

The team from this page is almost exactly as mine, I substituted the darkmoon zep for a mechanical pandaren dragonling but still used the 2 fox's. They got slaughtered.

I was able to do it thanks to luck and the use of Lofty Libram, my second mechanical pandaren dragonling and the cogblade raptor that I prize the most.

My method was librams "curse of doom" then switched to the mechanical pandaren dragonling and used "thunderbolt" first then "explode". After that Xu - Fu was down to about ~500 hp and I used Cogblade raptor and the move "batter" until he was dead. It was luck because "batter" is one of those moves that strikes 1-2 times and up to 3 times if you go first. I went first and got 3 strikes with the move twice before my raptor died to then come back to life and give me a victory. If cogblade only hit twice either time i'd be a sad panda.

So best of luck to those still trying to get this tournament done. Its a %^&*! but once you do it you will be so happy.

Hello there !
Thx for your VERY useful guide.

Unfortunately, it is useless for French guys (like my guild).. That's why I would like to ask you the permission to translate it in French (now it is possible to create French guide ! ♥) in your name, thx to your work.

Thank you in advance ! :-)

Guide says Chi-Chi always uses Etheral when it is available; However, this is not his opening move but its 3rd and every 3 afterwards.

Comentário de aislin2476

Okay, I have used all these strats flawlessly several times, but tonight they were failing on EVERY SINGLE BOSS. I did the first 4 trainers, then failed on Chi-Ji. Then I failed on Cho 3 times in a row. Then I did it again, NEARLY failed on Chi-Ji, but barely made it. Then I failed on Xu-Fu. I don't know if RNG was killing me or if something has changed in the last week.

Comentário de reedwand

Taran Zhu completely destroyed me.

Taran Zhu brings out Yen - Yen uses Feign Death (which is good because Blighthawk is stunned from Ghostly Bite)
Taran Zhu brings out Li

This didn't occur, Yen was below 50% health but he did not use Feign Death instead he pummeled Blighthawk completely with stuns. By the time I had killed Yen, Li was then alive with just my Rapana Whelk to take him down however since my whelk is a critter, Li's abilities were strong against critters and my Rapana Whelk was chewed and spat out by Li.

I have tried this a few times and with the same outcome.
The other 2 strategies, I am missing the Darkmoon Rabbit since I refuse to spend 150k Gold on it from the AH. So I am at a bit of a loss here.

Comentário de Mao75

Another strategy for Yu'la, only with capturable pets. I didn't have Bonkers, Pandaren Monk, not even Mr. Bigglesworth.
A very simple method: 2 Kun-Lai Runts (P/P is the bet, but not really important). And for reserve, a rabbit. Any kind.
You don't have to take care of anything, just follow this:

Start with the runt.
1.Frost shock -> next round you will come first.
2.Deep Freeze -> Yu'la will be stunned, no action.
3.Takedown-> HUGE damage!
4.Takedown
5.Frost shock
6.Deep Freeze
7.Takedown
... and so on. If Kun Lai Rin dies, bring in the second one and finish the dragon. That's all.

The rabbit for third is merely a reserve, its speed and burrow is the point, but you won't need that.

Comentário de 1540430

Thought I would share my strategy for Zao.
Open with Pandaren Water Spirit
-Geyser
-Whirlpool
Switch to Lil' Bling
-Inflation
-Inflation
Done
Worked for me 3 tries in a row.

Comentário de plokmijn12

For Chi-Chi, Filhote de Chi-Ji, I used Tiqueteco instead of Rato Gigante de Esgoto, and it worked perfectly.

For Zao, Cria de Niuzao, my team was (with both surviving):

Pet 1: Estatueta Vodu with Wild Magic and Rot
Pet 2: Silithid Hatchling with Swarm

1: Start off with Estatueta Vodu and cast Wild Magic, then Rot (he will soak charge)
2: Swap your Silithid Hatchling in and use Swarm
3: ?
4: Profit!

Comentário de LabKitty

Taran Zhu New strategy: "This Little Piggy" (Cageable)

"Swap to Stitched Pup
Turn 7: Howl
Turn 8: Plagued Blood"

At part of Turn 7: Pass and then use Turn 8: Houl. As Howl at Turn 7 is taken as an Attack and wont work.

Comentário de aviaticlol

Not sure if anyone has said it yet but I can add; Your Petrel das Areias, Mariposa de Âmbar, Guerrobô & Dragonetinho do Nexus, Can be of Common(warbot uncommon) type and still do the job.
Saves quite a few Pedra de Batalha Impecável Marcada you don't need to waste. (This is for group 1 of tamers)

Comentário de Mathaylla

Absolutely fantastic guide, thank you so much! I stayed away from the Celestial Tournament until now since I didn't think I had enough pets (or the right pets). I revisited it yesterday and realized that I really did have all the pets I needed (and most of them already lvl 25...just had to level a handful more, which was easy since it happens to be the Pet Battle bonus event.) So far beating Team 1 + Celestials, I used all the "original strategy" pets except for Chi-Chi, where I used the snail team. Worked like a charm, every single fight. I'm bookmarking this page for the next 9 weeks, so I can buy the remaining 3 celestial pets :)

Comentário de FenixTheDragoon

Thanks for this guide. It is excellent. I'd just like to add that double scourged whelplings roflstomps Wrathion. You won't even have to pull out your 3rd pet. I did get slightly lucky, tho. His Icy Tomb missed early on due to Darkness, which I cast before spamming Plagued Breath. Good luck guys.

Comentário de 1087844

The strategy as provided against Shademaster Kiryn is incorrect. My Lofty Libram was finished right after turn 5, with her first pet still up and still full of enough health. Since Lofty Libram is the only prescribed pet that is said to be able to defeat the pet, I was forced to forfeit the battle, leave the instance and start over.

Comentário de Kronzlife

The Chi-Chi strategy DID NOT work, the Voodoo figurine, the giant sewer rat, and I even threw in scooter the snail, and Chi-Chi still won.
Second run however it worked, so I assume if Chi-Chi gets to many crits it will fail, otherwise it's good to go.

Comentário de zisis1983

Thanks for fantastic guide! One small note for chi chi is really easy to use Pandaren Water spirit 1 2 2 set up and use geyser whirlpool change to chrominius 1 1 2 set up howl and surge of power chi chi is dead u dont even need 3rd pet :)!

Comentário de jaspet

I had a bit of trouble with Xu-Fu so this is the team I used:

Cerulean Moth - Cocoon Strike, Call Lightning (Mine was only an uncommon lvl 23)
Macabre Marionette - Dead Man's Party
Menagerie Custodian - Shock and Awe, Ion Cannon

Open with Cocoon strike (my moth was faster than Xu-Fu)
Call Lightning

switch to Macabre Marionette and use Dead Man's Party
MM will die, switch to Menagerie Custodian.

Shock and Awe followed by Ion Cannon and Xu-Fu was dead.

Edit: My Macabre Marionette was still 100% from being used in a team in the 1st round of battles.

Comentário de hunterlife14

For the celestials, expect for a true howl bomb, yu'la, broodling of yu'lon. A true howl bomb is awesome. Unborn val'kyr (curse of doom, and unholy accesion), the pandaren water spirit (greyser, and whirlpool), and chrominius (howl, and surge of power). A good substitution for the unborn val'kyr is the ghostly skull (unholy accesion), or the gashty kid (haunt).

Comentário de Tronhelm

Adding my comments to the 300, Son of Sethe works excellent on Wrathion as a 2 pet, if you get Cindy down, SOS will kill Alex no problem, and can do some work on Dah'da.

Comentário de shadowrings

For Yu'la, in the second round, if you don't have the right speed of Bonkers (288), you can substitute Mr. Bigglesworth as the first line pet. Claw, Ice Tomb, Ice Barrier.

Unless a bad crit happens it's possible for Bigglesworth to go the whole way.

Rotation:
1. Claw
2. Ice Tomb
3. Ice Barrier
4. Pass
5. Claw
6. Claw

Repeat the entire 6 step rotation until either Yu'la is dead or Bigglesworth is dead.

I still had Ghostly Skull and Pandaren Monk in slots 2 & 3 set up as recommended in the guide but did not need them.

Comentário de 718478

This guide is fantastic but don't be afraid to try the tournament if you don't have the recommended pets! Completed it for the first time (and first ever attempt) last night and didn't have any of the correct setups so had to improvise every encounter but didn't lose any of the matches:

Taran (Recommended): Rapana Whelk, Blighthawk, Amber Moth
Taran (Improvised): Rapana Whelk, Frostwolf Ghostpup, Amber Moth

Chen (Recommended): Clockwork Gnome, Anubisath Idol, Pandaren Water Spirit
Chen (Improvised): Lil'Bling, Anubisath Idol, Pandaren Water Spirit

Wrathion (Recommended): Brown Marmot, Scourged Whelpling, Curious Wolvar Pup
Wrathion (Improvised): Arctic Hare, Scourged Whelpling, Deathy

Chi-Chi (Recommended): Silkbead Snail, Shimmershell Snail, Rusty Snail
Chi-Chi (Improvised): Silkbead Snail, Nordrassil Wisp, Darkmoon Rabbit

Zao (Recommended): Sun-reaver Micro Sentry, Zandalari Anklerender, Zandalari Kneebiter
Zao (Improvised): Lil'XT, Zandalari Anklerender, Zandalari Kneebiter

Xu-Fu (Recommended): Wild Jade Hatchling, Wildhammer Gryphon Hatchling, Darkmoon Zeppelin
Xu-Fu (Improvised): Wild Jade Hatchling, Wildhammer Gryphon Hatchling, Iron Starlette

Yu'la (Recommended): Ghostly Skull, Bonkers, Pandaren Monk
Yu'la (Improvised): Ghostly Skull, Kun-Lai Runt, Pandaren Monk

I'm not very good at pet battles but I didn't let that put me off and neither should you so give it a try with what you have and Gygz's guide will help you to fill in the rest ^-^

For taran-zhu i used Unborn Val'kyr (Haunt), Fossilized Hatchling (Bonestrike-D/D-Bite), Ghost Maggot (Absorb, PlagueBlood, Survival). Between hatchling and maggot they killed all three. Maggot did most of the work. Used only Haunt from Val. I tried 2 of the 3 strats above and failed both.

Defeating Taran Zhu for the achievement Uma grande aventura
("Can you say '25 RARES', boys and girls?")

This was one of my harder fights in the achievement.

I tried a lot of the strategies listed on the NPC Wowhead page and the achievement Wowhead page as well as in the following guides (And OFC, the comments to all these resources):
An Awfully Big Adventure made simpler
An Awfully Big (and Comprehensive) Adventure
A Pet Battler's Guide to: Defeating the Celestial Tournament
Celestial Tournament with 18 pets

Thank you to ALL the Guide Authors and Contributors, I could not have done it without your help!

As far as Taran Zhu is concerned, the strategies spelled out by albinoette, Rikade, and magnusXcaboose got me the closest...

magnusXcaboose (see comments at Taran Zhu for strategy details) used
Grude da Selva with Consumir Meleca Grudenta Salto
Filhote Vil with Agachar Uivar Mordida Infecciosa
Elekk de Pelúcia with Ansioso por um Ponto

Since my H/H Jungle Grub had not been levelled and also was only POOR quality, I tried substituting
Verme Devoradors in both H/H and H/S breeds to no avail. I had already levelled the grub to 25 but had not stoned him RARE yet. By this time I had concluded that my problem was lack of speed (bludgeoning was SEVERE, but almost making it lol) and since my Jungle Grub was of the slower breed I looked for a new approach...

Filhote de Raposinha Alpina S/B with Agachar Uivar Dança Hipnótica
Base Stats are H/P/S of -/+/= compared to the H/S Grude da Selva, however,
Dança Hipnótica "Increases your team's speed by 25% for 9 rounds." {emphasis is mine}

...and Taran Zhu makes 44. Yippee!

Comentário de EmperorBathory

Amazing guide, thank you so much! I have 1 request if you so choose. Can you add a strategy to Ion Goldbloom that doesn't include such heavy gateways? Cloud Serpent requires exalted with Order of The Cloud Serpent which many people don't have, and Son of Animus is a rare drop from what is still soft cap content and goes for upwards of 30k gold on most servers. It would be really awesome to have a strat with more attainable pets.

Thanks again for the amazing guide!

Comentário de sallamo

Is this guide updated anymore? it really should get some because the nerfs are getting some tactics in trouble.

Comentário de CDWeasel

The new patch is either bugged or intentionally now only allows howl to work for 1 round. So the strats for Xu-Fu no longer works. This is what I've used successfully:

Tranquil Mechanical Yeti 1,1,2
Menagerie Custodian 2,1,2

Start with Yeti:

Call Lightning,
Metal Fist,
Ion Cannon

Yeti Dies, switch to Custodian (note Xu-Fu will heal but not a problem)

Shock and Awe,
Ion Cannon

Xu-Fu dies

Comentário de marko777

With the new changes of Patch 7.0:
- The fox strategy vs Xuen does not work anymore.
- And if you use the Swarming Dead against Chi-Chi, you need to have a 3rd pet. Follow the strategy used here, but your Giant Rat is going to die earlier, so when you get Chrominus (or any other pet with Surge of Power), use Bite, Howl or pass, and after Chi-Chi banishes, you must use Surge of Power so you can defeat him.

Comentário de ayrenn

Thank you so much for this guide!

To let others know, I was able to complete the Celestial Tournament following this guide with the following specific teams (following the exact instructions from the guide itself).

This is the order I did them in:

Taran Zhu (original strategy) - this one was a bit "off" with moth dust causing him to swap pets so not really comfortable with the reliability, did this one first and had to restart twice
Wrathion - original strategy - seems like a reliable strat, never failed this one
Chen Stormstout - original strategy
Chi-Chi - Snailception - only one snail died, seems like a reliable strat
Xu-Fu - Greased Lightning
Yu'la - Clock em out (Clock'em died once activating mech special ability and was able to solo it)
Zao - original strategy

Note that two of the pets, Rapana Whelk and Sunreaver Micro-Sentry, actually participate in two battles, that is I managed to do this with only having one of each of them. Micro-Sentry specifically only spends two rounds against Xu-fu then you swap to Lil' Bling, and then later he only needs to soak a oneshot ability from Zao anyway, which was the last fight I did. Rapana Whelk was used against both Taran Zhu and Chi-Chi, which really seemed impossible to lose with the snail-team anyway.

Comentário de YamiCodenamed

Cleared the tournament after struggling with Xu-Fu. The tactics I used are as follows

Chi Chi

Unborn Val'kyr - Cast Curse of Doom, Shadow shock spam till the valkyr revives, then use Unholy Ascension. Swap to the wisp
Nordrassil Wisp - Cast Soul Ward (at this point Chi Chi usually blocks, she casts it with a 3 turn cd). Use Flash, Light then pass. Use block again and just repeat
Nordrassil Wisp - Just continue the rotation with the other wisp if the first dies, the boss will die

Xu Fu

Voodoo Figurine - Cast Flame Breath, Wild Magic, Rot and if the pet revives use Wild Magic Again, then swap to the next pet
Infected Squirrel - Spam Stampede, Xu Fu will die before this pet looses the immortality
Any pet, pref Darkmoon Zeppelin - Use Decoy to prevent healing and then just Missile

Yu La

Ghostly Skull - Use Ghostly bite and Shadow Slash until the pet dies and revives, then use Unholy Ascension
Bonkers - Use Dodge as soon as Yu La casts Emerald Pressence, because the next spell is Take Off. Otherwise prioritize Tornado Punch over Jab
Any Pet - If Yu La casted Emerald Pressence and there is no way to use Dodge, swap to this pet to soak the hit

Zao

Sunreaver Micro Sentry - Fel Imolate followed by Call Lightning, then swap to dino
Zandalari Anklerender (or any Zandalari dino) - Black Claw and then Hunting Party
Zandalari Anklerender (or any Zandalari dino) - Hunting Party and the boss is dead

I didn't have a Caranguejo Garrespinha, so I looked for other pets with Rasgar and Sangue na Água and went with the P/P breed of Caranguejo das Frondes, because the H/H breed would have interfered with Fingir de Morto in turn 6.

The tactics for Chi-Chi, Filhote de Chi-Ji and Gnomo Movido à Corda remain unchanged until Wise Mari brings in Rio. Continue with Gnomo Movido à Corda.

Use Construir Torreta when off cool-down and Punho de Ferro as a filler until Gnomo Movido à Corda dies.

Swap to Caranguejo das Frondes.

Carapaça Espinhosa
Mergulho
Garra if necessary.

This method worked for me 5 times in patch 7.0.3 as I am writing this today. I'd be happy to hear about your experiences with this method.

Comentário de sprendinea

Howl nerf killed half of the strategies :/

Comentário de Xapcadian

I finally completed this today after about a year of trying (off and on). FINALLY!

Thanks for the cheat list. I feel dirty but I had to use it. I was losing my mind and about to smash my computer.

Side Note: I left Xu-Fu until last and got wiped because one of my fox's wasn't level cap, so I had to think of a new plan. I ended up using my Sunreaver Micro-Sentry again (with about half health left over from the Zao fight), Zalandari Footlasher, and Kun-Lai Runt. This did the job, so technically, you don't need to have any Fox's or the Darkmoon Zeplin in your collection. Just fire off Sunreaver's Lightening Storm and use Footlasher's hunting party. Cake.

Also, don't worry if you don't have the Pandaren Monk for the Yu'La fight. You don't need him at all. Two pets (Ghostly Skull and Bonkers) do the job.

Finally, for Chi-Chi, one of my wisps was only a green, level 23, and I still won using the strategy above with the Unborn, Wisp (25) and Wisp (23).

Thanks again.

Comentário de Scayn

As of 27/10/2016:

I have tried and tried (like 10 times) to win vs Blingtron. But his Lil' B reks me every single damn time.
I'm using and doing everything in the guide, so Pandaren Water Spirit, Searing Scorchling and Core Hound Pup, yet it seems impossible to beat the Lil' B.
Anyone who has a solution?

Comentário de dgnuff

On battles where it matters, Pet Breeds should be posted. As an example, you must use a B/B or H/S Lesser Voidcaller to fight Taran Zhu, so that it's faster than Bolo. Otherwise the Prismatic barrier will still be up when Stitched pup casts howl.

Comentário de Janathema

Overall a really great guide, thanks for all the work you've put into this!

I might add that with 7.1.0, I altered the original strategy for Yu'la, Filhote de Yu'lon, at least the part of the Crânio Fantasmagórico:

01: Mordida Fantasmagórica
02: Crânio Fantasmagórico is stunned
03: Sombra Cortante
04: Sombra Cortante
05: Ascensão Profana - Morto-vivo pops
06: Mordida Fantasmagórica

If you use Mordida Fantasmagórica in round 05, you'll do it after your Morto-vivo popped and be stunned in round 06, so you can't get off your Ascensão Profana.

I used this guide alot in pandaria and draenor. It was great, but now it just don't work anymore :( Used the same pets now as then. I get all the way to Xu-Fu, but I can't get him down with this guide anymore :/

Comentário de KittyKatBar

I use the 18 pets guide for the majority of the tournament and then this guide for celestials, works every time, one shot.

I prefer voodoo/rat for chi, bigglebomb for yu, wild hatchling and flock plus zepp for xu, and microsentry/raptors strats niu, they have never failed me.

Comentário de ShadowKat

Been 'trying' to get a Gryphon Hatchling S/S for about 3 hours straight and no luck- in total I've only seen about 4 come up though 2 had 2 Gryphon Hatchling in the fight but no S/S in sight. I'm not sure if I'm remembering right but didn't they have more spawn locations? As of 7.1.5 there are 2- ONLY 2 locations and 90% of the time there are no battle pets just the regular friendly critter, so you can't even clear them to get a spawn. At 1 locations there is ONLY 1 critter and the one next to the flight master you can get 2 spawn at the same time but the waiting game is awful. These need to be considered RARE...and the S/S breed an urban legend.

Comentário de Vanthalas

While the guide is kinda dated, much of the info is still valid and helpful. The probem I had with it is that most of it only covers certain pets and their skills. Not everyone has them so alternatives would be a good addition to it.

Just gotta make sure to bring lots, lots of pets to the tournament so you can have more options to experiment and replace when needed, because I lacked most of the pets from this guide but it can still be done with adjustments and experimentation.

Comentário de Chidsuey

A wonderful guide, but an important update. Howl has been nerfed, so the strategy for Xu-fu not longer works.

Comentário de timberwolf811

I found Xu-Fu strategies from this guide do not really work in Legion. Ended up with the following:

Pull out Hydraling the key here is to have a pet with Lightning SLOWER than Xu-Fu. Some suggest Sunreaver Micro-Sentry, but this one works well against the bull, so I prefer to spare it.

1. Hydraling casts Call Lightning
2. Swap to Clockwork Gnome
3. Clockwork Gnome builds Turret
4. Swap for Lil'Bling
5. Lil'Bling casts Inflation

Comentário de Pastoral

Massive, massive, massive fail. Terrible Turnip is terribly useless. I would love to know who thought that pet was good for ANYTHING, but catching other pets, since its attack cannot kill.

TT was OWNED effortlessly by the mechanical pet. I brought in the Darkmoon Tonk, hoping to finish it off, then take on the next pet. But with call lightning, the cat effortlessly destroyed Darkmoon Tonk. Whoever wrote this guide, never write another one, ever.

Comentário de Vims

I used this guide today.

The only fight that failed for me was versus Xu'Fu when using the original strategy(2 foxes + zeppelin).
Luckily I had the pets needed for the Greased Lightning strategy, which worked like a charm.

Thanks!

On Cho, instead of a 2nd spider I used a Bone Serpent and just used Call Darkness and Bone Barrage on his last pet and vaporized it instantly. (For people who may not have another fast spider.)

Comentário de Egamoj

FINALLY

Used Menagerie Custodian instead of Sunreaver guy (which I haven't been able to farm yet anyway) ty for the guide!

Comentário de Gravitized

Hey, how do you know when you have trained 15 pets to 25? r at least how many you have left? Is there a string to use to check ?

Thanks for the help!

Comentário de Aredyl

For Yu'la : Kun-Lai Runt (2, 2, 2) is a good alternate pet, as it can dish out quite a bit of damage to Yu'la by itself.

Frost shock ->
Deep Freeze ->
Takedown x2

You can cycle this twice before Kun-Lai Runt falls, pushing Yu'la sub 50% for the last 2 pets to clean up.

Comentário de jokerdonny

Awesome guide! I had some trouble getting the Lofty Libram, and noticed there aren't many subs for it listed. I was looking through my pets and found the Court Scribe from being revered with the Court of Farondis was a good one. Just thought I would let anyone who was having trouble like me know!

Comentário de DOLamba

Is this up to date? :D

Comentário de kodora1316

The main strategy for xu-fu didn't work AT ALL. He was at full health after both foxes, and I followed the steps exactly. I'll try another team, but just noting that the first one is totally useless (foxes do no damage and everyone dies, leaving xufu at 90% + health). I had the breeds suggested by the guide as well, so this is not a breed issue.

Edit: the second option worked *much* better. Sunreaver + Bling + Tonk was successful.

Comentário de Vindis77

Hello, for the Xu-Fu, Filhote de Xuen Stragedy, I found more usefull go with a team:

Microssentinela Fendessol

Gnomo Movido à Corda

Tonque de Negraluna

Turn 1
Chamar Raio
Turn 2
Swap to Gnomo Movido à Corda
Turn 3
Construir Torreta
Turn 4
Punho de Ferro
Turn 5
Punho de Ferro
(by this turn as my pets were low health per previous fights, I had to summon the Tonque de Negraluna)
Turn 6
Choque e Admiração
Turn 7
Míssil
Turn 8 (if he is under 1k heal you can finish him with)
Canhão Iônico

He was dead by them.
(If he still alive he will die per the other dots)

Note: I have to do that setup as I used the 2 fox and Darkmoon Zeppelin and has no chance to win that match, maybe a bad luck.

The "This Little Piggy" strat for Taran Zhu doesn't seem to be working now. I've tried 4 times in a row, and every time Bolo blocks the Stitched Pup's howl on turn 7.

Comentário de lynx1313

Original and Swarming dead did not work for me on Chi Chi not even a little and I followed them precisely with one issue steps 5 and 6 on original strat are not possible in that order, maybe that's what killed me? should they be reversed I just skipped step 6 since I was doing it while reading it and didn't read ahead.

Comentário de 1087844

All strategies on Yu'lon are complete GARBAGE.
Used every single pet and strategy suggested and other similar pets and lost totally.

Whoever wrote the strategy on that, it's completely wrong.

Comentário de torturedparadox

For Lorewalker Cho's cageable strat, I did not have a max lvl Spectral Porcupette. So I used a Nordrassil Wisp (2, 1, 2) instead. Open with Flash, follow with Light, then spam Arcane Explosion till Wisdom dies or the Wisp does. If the Wisp dies, swap in the Death Talon and use Blitz. ezpz.

Comentário de BMHunterMain

great guide, if you don;t have any of the pets listed in a given strat (or they've already died/lost health) just click the pet battler's name and check their page for other submitted strats. takes some time but you can find a lot of alternates.

Comentário de Mortifw

This is clearly outdated post. I couldn't win on Blingtron, I had to swap the third pet for Electrified Razortooth and finish off his last pet so-so with my remaining live pets. Then I got to Xu-fu and the strat just doesn't give you enough damage (yes, I used the zeppelin). He had 1/3 health still up when my last pet died.

There were many changes in BFA to pets and this was done way before BFA came out (May '18). It can give you a nice starting point for the tournament, but you'll have to make changes to the strats in order for them to work...

Comentário de Akibah1182

While I completed the tournament using other strategies, the strategies in this guide DO NOT work. Either they are dependent on extremely lucky RNG or the strategy is outdated due to WoW changes, I did not come even close on multiple bosses.

Comentário de farble1670

The original strategy on Blingtron 4000 did not work for me. The Crabbit strategy did work.

Comentário de Katilinann

Is it incredibly important for my pets to be of the rare quality? Like say for instance I have a poor quality sandy petrel does that brick the strategy, or is that kinda of detail only important on the things such as the 310+ speed wisp?

Comentário de MalachiAD

I just wanted to note a trick I found for this since there's been new pets and a few expansions later. On the Wrathion fight, instead of Marmota Parda you can actually use the Dust Bunny you find in Legion's Dalaran in the horde area. Using this pet in place of the marmot will actually allow you to complete the battle using the same steps, using Ímpeto in place of chomp and saving your Esquivar for the turn just after you were originally suppose to use crouch on. Doing it with the bunny, allows you to never even have to bring your Guaxinantinho Curioso into the rotation. Hope this helps!

Comentário de Kasstarix

Just a quick comment - I had bought a couple of level 25 pets so I could reach the minimum of 15 to start this. When I came to this guide and saw the words, "A player must have leveled, themselves, a minimum of 15 Battle Pets that have reached Lv25," I kinda panicked, thinking I had wasted that money. But I was able to queue no problem. So you do not need to level them to 25 yourself. Anyone can level them to 25 as long as they are tradeable and you can learn them.

Comentário de ljgard

as much as I love the effort you put into the guide when it was current it is now awfully obselete. half of the moves that you have described as meant to happen simply don't, and the massive thing (which I realised all to late) was that 'Howl' only affects the next move, not the next 2. this needs an update please

Comentário de ljgard

ok so after losing a lot, i repeat a lot of pets thanks to the now obselete strat above, I managed to down Xu-Fu with the following:

Tranquil Mechanical Yeti (1,1,1)
Lil' Bling (2,2,1)
Darkmoon Tonk (1,1,2)

Supercharge, then Call Lightning. Metal Fist til Yeti dies
Inflation til Lil' Bling dies
Shock and Awe, Ion Cannon with Darkmoon Tonk finishes it off.

Comentário de AnnieDesuu

To date this is the simplest way I've found to complete the battles in the tournament efficiently. I was missing a few of the suggested pets to defeat all of the battles without having to sub in and risk losing the tournament and was able to get them super quick, level and win :D For certain situations like the frogs, spiders, and snails I didn't need the exact mentioned pets in this guide, just ones that met requirements and had matching skills for those concerned about not using the ones mentioned exactly. Thank you very much for the time and effort put into this guide!

Comentário de bagmand

I think this guide is outdated. When some of the oponents pets should be dead, they are still active with 50% health.

Can you make an updated version for BFA?

Comentário de PrincessZion

I had Blingitron, Shademaster Kiryn, & Wise Mari today.
Blingitron: "Crabbit" strategy worked with an H/P rabbit, P/P Emperor Crab, & HH Lava Crab. Only the rabbit died.
Shademaster Kiryn: "Nairn...STAHP!" strategy worked.
Wise Mari: RNG with "High IQ" strategy. Had to restart fight. If Spirus seems to be out-healing Dragonling damage then surrender, heal at Wise Mari & try again; Lesser Voidcaller died before River & I had to finish with Raven's Call of Darkness.
Celestials:
Chi-Chi, Hatchling of Chi-Ji: "Snailception" strategy tweaked to finish in eight rounds.
Used P/S Corefire Imp (2,1,2), an H/B Whelk (1,1,1), & for backup H/S Silkbead snail (did not use).
Turn 1- Immolation, Turn 2 - Wild Magic, Turn 3 - Swap to your Rapana Whelk, Turn 4 - Acidic Goo,Turn 5 - Ooze Touch,Turn 6 - Ooze Touch, Turns 7+8 - Dive. Credit to Xu-Fu's Pet Battle Strategies https://www.wow-petguide.com/index.php?Strategy=214
Zao, Calfling of Niuzao: Original strategy still works. I used a P/P Sunreaver Micro-Sentry and a P/B Zandalari Anklerender. Note: Do not let Sentry die, you will need it for Xu-Fu.
Xu-Fu, Cub of Xuen: Heal your Sunreaver Micro-Sentry at Yu'la. (Stinker is my best healer). "Greased Lightining" strategy still works.
Yu'la, Broodling of Yu'lon: "Bigglebomb" strategy still works as long as you do not deviate from rotation. If at anytime you mess up the rotation you must immediately quit, heal, & start again. Backup pet not used.

Comentário de Rocsanna

I wanted to share what pets I used to complete the Celestial Tournament.

I got the week with Sully, Lorewalker Cho and Dr. Ion Goldbloom.

For Sully I used:
Huge Toad
Darkmoon Monkey
Gilnean Raven

For Lorewalker Cho I used:
Spectral Porcupette
Nexus Whelpling
Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling

For Dr. Ion Goldbloom I used:
Nexus Whelpling - I think you could also use a Storrmborne Whelpling
Darkmoon Zeppelin
Wild Crimson Hatchling

For Xu-Fu:
Tranquil Mechanical Yeti - I think you could also use a Stormborne Whelpling since you're only using him for the Call Lightning ability and he dies soon after anyway.
Lil' Bling
Darkmoon Zeppelin

For Chi-Chi
Rapana Whelk + any other snail with Ooze Touch, Acidic Goo and Dive.
Stormborne Whelpling as second pet.
I may have messed up my notes, or I may be losing my memory, so I don't guarantee this is 100% true, but I am pretty sure I started with a lvl 25 Rapana Whelk and then, once it died, brought in a lvl 20 Snail with some other name - bcs I don't have 2 snails maxed out, believe it or not. And Stormborne Whelpling still survived it all. Or maybe I'm becoming senile. One of the two.

For Zao I used:
Direbeak Hatchling
Iron Starlette
Lil' Bling

And finally for Yu'la I used:
Ghostly Skull, but probably Unborn Valkyr with the ability Unholy Ascension would work just as well
whatever Rabbit you have
Bonkers
IF you have 3 rabbits for Yu'la, gg, you're done, and much faster than anything listed anywhere, this comment included. I didn't, because reasons.

To note that I only have one of each of the following: Darkmoon Zeppelin, Lil'Bling, Gilnean Raven, Bonkers, Stormborne Whelpling, and they did not die - I was able to heal and reuse them if necessary.
I tried to follow guides, both this one on Wowhead and two of the more recent videos on Youtube, which are 1 respectively 2 years old.
But my problem was that I generally I didn't have the pets they listed, so I made do with what I had and used some common sense.
Also, I seemed to take much more damage from boss abilities than what the guides listed or youtube vids showed.
So if my pet was dying and I planned on using that same pet again, I abandoned the fight, used the heal trick by engaging Yu'La and I'd start again.
If my pet was dying, but it was just a test run to see if something worked, I swapped another one in and tried again.
One thing that was not clear to me until I started the Celestial Tournament was how abandoning worked - I thought you have to start all over, re-do ALL the fights. But no - you redo just the one you abandoned, your progress is saved.
So if something you attempted doesn't work, abandon and try again, either with some other combination of pets or different order of abilities.

All in all, I'd say the thought of the Celestial Tournament was more intimidating than the actual thing. So good luck and gg on your Xu-Fu, Cub of Xuen !

Comentário de DCCXVIII

Guide doesn't work for Shademaster Kiryn and Blingtron 4000.

Comentário de Jenapher

As of 2020, a lot of these strategies are no longer viable. I made it through Blingtron, Kiryn, Mari and Chi-Ji after exhausting 30 or so of my pets, but since Howl has been nerfed, I was unable to bring Xu-Fu below 1000 health thanks to his heals and high damage.

Comentário de eatgrass

Chi chi , Xufu strategies no longer works as of August 2020.
The "new" ones do not work either.

Comentário de Dephloc

You can cheese this by logging out and logging onto another toon to heal your pets. Log back into the first character, all your pets are healed and your progress stays the same.

Comentário de Valkeyrie

It seems that most of the previous strats are not working anymore for Yula as of Shadowlands prepatch. After going through a bunch of testing here is what I used.

iamweaver posted a comment with these pets below but didn't elaborate. This was the only strat I could get to work.

Kun-Lai Run 2/1/2
Anubisath 1/2/2
Squirky 1/1/2

Starting with Kun-Lai I used Deep Freeze until I landed a stun. If I didn't stun I left and started over.
After a successful stun use Takedown.
Continue to use takedown until the Kun-Lai Runt dies.

Bring in Anubisath
This one is a priority. If Yula is up in the air use deflect. Otherwise use crush.

Once Anubisath goes down bring in Squirky.
Again this a priority. If Yula is up in the air use bubble. Outside of that use Punch.
(I did not use clobber but that could potentially be used to get to a CD closer to bubble)

GL

Comentário de Galet

This still worked for me as of Nov 6, 2020. I fought Wrathion first and my Anubisath Idol died using the 'Goodbye Stranger' team so I made one change when fighing Chen Stormstout I used Clockwork Gnome (1,1,1) and Teroclaw Hatchling (2,1,2).

Turns 1-2 Build Turret
Turn 3 Metal Fist (could stun, if so just pass)
Turn 4 Metal Fist
Turns 5-6 Build Turret
Turn 7 Metal Fist - Tonsa Down
Turn 6 Chirps enters
Turn 7 pass -Tonsa sleeps Clockwork Gnome, Teroclaw Hatchling enters
Turn 8 Dodge
Turn 9 Alpha Strike
Turns 10-11 Ravage - Chirps Dies, Brewly enters
Turn 1 Alpha Strike
Turn 2 Alpha Strike
Turn 3 Alpha Strike
Turn 4 Dodge
Turn 5 Alpha Strike
Turn 6 Alpha Strike
Turn 7 Alpha Strike - Brewly Dies

Comentário de Nofarian

Struggling with Yu'la? Then try the Creeping Tentacle from Yogg'saron!
Following the strat of the Bigglebomb, the Creeping Tentacle works as such:
Round 1: Crush (Being a human attack, this chonky attack will hit hard, plus the tentacle is faster)
Round 2: Apply Creeping Insanity
Round 3: Illusory Barrier
Round 4: Pass (Yu'La will break the barrier)
Round 5: Crush (The tentacle will take 1/3rd of its HP)
Round 6: Crush (The tentacle will have 420 HP left)
Round 7: Crush (Don't fret, Yu'la is forced to shield up)
Round 8: Creeping Insanity
Round 9: Illusory Barrier
Round 10: Pass (Yu'la will break the barrier)
Round 11: Deliver one final crush to her.
Now, simply finish her off with a heavy Humanoid-Attack beastie. I prefer to use Bonkers.
Round 12: Soak the fire breath and use jab.
Round 13: Tornado Punch (If this does not kill her, jab again).

Comentário de Lividboar

you can substitute an ankle render on zao for ikky as well

Comentário de ljgard

the Rapana Whelk strategy for Taran Zhu is obselete because when Yen comes out the 2nd time after feigning death he does not feign death again. so you need to keep attacking with Moth and then swap to Whelk when it dies, finish off Yen and then use the Blighthawk to finish off the other one.

goddam I wish people who write guides would update them

Comentário de Pimealukko

Is there an updated guide somewhere? I have every pet in this guide, ten times over and decided to finally try out the Celestial tournament and almost nothing worked. I had to plan out other bosses and even then the amount of damage done to my pets was off the charts. Half of these strats didn't even work properly...

And yes I'm doing the guide properly. Every other fight resulted in a loss so I would have to look up each individual NPC to defeat it from comments outside of this guide and even then.

Comentário de MidnyteTV

The Chi-Chi strat with Voodoo/Sewer rat is no longer effective.

I had to dig deep and use an Obsidian protowhelp.

I handled Xu-Fu with a Boneshard, Ikky and any Chicken with Flock.

Bring out your Chicken

Flock until GG
