Strat failed 3 times in a row

I have used same strat for years and always works. If Otto gets 2 lucky crits, then it will fail. But I'd say I have over 90% success with this. I use ghostly whelpling as 3rd pet.

This strategy seems to not work in 9.1. Tried it twice and both times Otto ended up with 1hp after Tantrum

Could be one of the current bugs. Nothing anyone can do until Blizzard fixes them. See main page for details.

Works fine with me. Even if Otoo still has 1 HP, you finish him with XT and even if he dies, it has 0 impact on the rest of the strat because on the following turn "Syd" won't do any damage and after the back and forth with the leveling pet, XT will die like before.
But I guess it's more a script problem than a strat issue because doing it manually (Yes, I am a rebel) means you can keep following those steps has you did before.

i somehow had "broom" chosen instead of "batter" ... "broom gives 280 humanoid damage batter gives 140 mechanical damage but may hit twice... both ways have worked for me.

I made the same mistake at first. WIth "batter" in the Enchanted Broom's first slot and "sweep" in the second slot, this strategy has been 100% successful for me so far. Thanks Brawler!

Batter hits 1-2 times, plus another time because of speed advantage, so always at least two. Essentially the same either skill you use, I suppose.

Too many criticals can break almost any strategy. Otto got lucky.
That said, good that you posted the screenshots, because it's easy to see exactly why it failed there. (edited)

Dorelei wrote on 2021-01-09 17:55:40
I've been using this strat all week here Jan 2021, and it's been working great. One thing I would note/change however, is that instead of using batter exactly three times before a wind-up finish, use batter until Syd is dead, then doing the wind-up when Mr. Pointy comes in to instakill him. Sometimes it takes more than three batters to kill Syd, especially since bubble is usually still up blocking two attacks. My batters almost never get that rumored second hit. >.< (edited)
Solitha
wrote on 2021-03-09 22:51:54
This strategy just worked as well for me as it always does, including exactly three Batters to off Syd. Two rounds of Batter takes the Bubble down. One round of Batter after that will always produce at least two strikes; 1-2 variable, plus 1 from the speed advantage. The minimal 2 strikes will kill Syd.
This is assuming you have a rare-quality Broom. That is essential. An uncommon version has the same speed as Syd and may lose the advantage. (edited)

I don't understand the comments from people saying this strat doesn't work. I have been using this strat for two years now, including using it today, and it has never once failed for me. Crits or not. I think the people complaining about it not working are either not using the right pets or are not paying attention to the strat itself and using wrong abilities at wrong times.

I have the same experience as you. This has been my go-to strat for a very long time and it never fails me.

I have years this for many years also but just came here to see if there is something new because on the 6th try & not getting through Im a lil grumpy lol. Ill keep trying I guess. Proper pets, proper strat but blizz team is maybe critting each time :(
Othros wrote on 2020-12-09 17:08:41
I too had this strat fail me for the first time ever this week, and several times in a row. My previous strat (without levelling pet) also failed, and it too was very reliable. So I'm pretty sure that something has changed about this fight -- but I don't know what it is.

It does work, but you have to remember one thing!
2nd pet is either:
- Unobtainable
- You have to buy one for IRL money / battlenet currency -> a lot of gold
(And if you CAN'T buy some pet on AH / the price is just HUGE, I don't see the point tbh...)
As much as i like the strategy and i would like to give it 5 out of 5, my argument above makes me want to give it 2 or 3 out of 5
So i will just not vote :P (edited)

Giving a strat a lower rating simply because it uses pets you don't have, is not a good reason for said lower rating. A strat should be rated on how effective it is at beating the enemy, not based on your roster.
The Lil' XT, which is the shop pet, is not currently attainable as they've removed it from the shop.
Landro's Lil' XT is a Trading Card Game pet that CAN be bought on the AH. It has the same move set, and almost the same stats.

Just because a strat can't be used by someone doesn't make it '0 Effective' at beating the enemy, so your logic is inaccurate.
It's your prerogative to make strats as you see fit, just as it's someone else's to make theirs as they'd like, and with what pets they like. There are 20 published strats for this fight. If someone can't find a strategy amongst those with the pets they have, then it's up to the person to expand their roster if they truly want to do the fight.

Like i said, i did not give any rating to this strategy, noneed to downvote the comment because of "personal reasons?" ;)
"A strat should be rated on how effective it is at beating the enemy, not based on your roster."
If you are not very good with pet battles / Can't afford the Shop Pet/"Unobtainable Pet"
-> Then you can not really use the strategy, can you? Means it is 0 effective to you.
And we should make strats friendly to "less advanced pet battlers" or am i wrong?PS: When i am making strategies, i just want them to be friendly to as many people as possible, reason why making/testing some of them takes 5 hours... (without using pets rather hard to get)

@DragonsAfterDark
Well, not gonna "argue with the moderator" :P
Personally when i see the strategy with Unobtainable Pets "ON TOP" i move on to the next one.
(I am also pretty sure that A LOT of people think/do the same)
I just downvoted my own strategy to make the new one with similiar pets, but imo as good/better, and the pets are more accessible...
...and then somebody voted 1 out of 5 without giving any arguments.
(so i guess i will vote on this strategy after all)

hmmm not sure why you have a problem with this one... it actually works perfect for me... i use it every time... maybe you are missing a step? or maybe using the script? i guess that is why it is good there are so many different strats to try out :-)

also... well put Dragons, i agree with you that a strat should be rated on how effective it is at beating the enemy, not based on what pets you own.

Tried the strat 5 times in a row, does not work. XT gets deleted after using heartbroken and only gets 1 Tantrum in before he dies.

Well, I just tried it, using Landro's, and it worked perfectly.
My XT took one Trample crit, in R5, and was rather low when I swapped it out. It could be that taking a Feed crit in R3 might be a problem, but you'd have to be very unlucky to suffer that 5 times in a row.

It works, my bad. My broom was level 24 and the squid got 1st attack off.

Thank you so much for this! I have the shop pet, thankfully. The worg/iron was failing over and over. (It used to? usually works?, but the RNG was having a field day, or they changed something.)
