Note before starting: I tried my very best to not include store bought pets, TCG pets, pets that you have to get a specific breed, and very hard to get pets. For a few fights I did have to use pets with a specific breed because I was spending hours trying to perfect a strat and it just wasn't working without a certain breed. Also, a lot of the Shadowlands fights don't have rigid movesets like previous expansions did. For a lot of these new fights, you have to be a bit more flexible. Use these strats as a guideline :) Please feel free to send me a message in-game at Gabrielle-Whisperwind. I do not usually check the comments because I have *literally* thousands of posts and I will most definitely miss a question, or any suggestions on tweaking a strat.

The rest of the strats you can find here: Family Exorcist

Addons I definitely recommend:
Battle Pet BreedID - helps you determine which breed your pet is!
Rematch - changes the Pet Journal UI and adds SO much for you for sorting, adds a leveling pet queue, etc. There's seriously a lot. My favorite is that it lets you save teams!
PetTracker - Shows you the cooldowns of the enemy team. VERY IMPORTANT. Also shows you trainers on your map. For some reason not all of them are listed in the basic WoW UI.

For Eyegor (some RNG involved due to Boneclaw's Thrash hitting a third time, unfortunately, but won 15/20 tries):

Stormborne Whelpling 1 1 X
Wild Jade Hatchling 2 1 2
Nightmare Whelpling 1 1 1


  1. Call Lightning

  2. Tail Sweep - rarely, Boneclaw dies here if Stormborne Whelpling crits. When this happens, tail sweep until your whelpling dies.

  3. Tail Sweep - both pets usually die here, so bring in Wild Jade Hatchling. However, if Boneclaw is still alive, consider restarting. It's possible for the other two pets to still win, but the chance is low.

  4. Call Lightning

  5. Lift Off if Spindler > 300 hp. If Spindler < 300, skip to step 7.

  6. Tail Sweep

  7. Tail Sweep - Spindler dies

  8. Tail Sweep - Wild Jade Hatchling dies, bring in Nightmare Whelpling

  9. Call Darkness

  10. Nightmare - has to hit, or Rocko heals up too much. If a miss (10% chance), probability of success goes down - may have to start over.

  11. Shadowflame until Rocko dies

Addius the Tormenter:

Nexus Whelpling (x,2,2)
Nexus Whelpling (x,2,2)
Any dragonkin

Arcane Storm
Select option 1 (Mind Games ~ 25% health loss for team)
Mana Surge
First Nexus Whelpling dies
Mana Surge

Zolla:

This strat is RNG dependent, but if you don't have the other pets people are mentioning, you're not left with many options. His second pet hits hard, and since mechanicals respawn and dragonkin don't, you have to compensate for that.

Celestial Dragon - Rare Guardian (1,2,1)
Chrominus - Rare Guardian (2,1,2)
Nether Faerie Dragon - Rare Power & Health (2,1,2)

I opened with Moonfire and spammed Flamethrower until his first pet died. It's important that his first pet dies with Celestial Dragon, otherwise start over.
With Chrominus, I started with Arcane Explosion, and then hit Howl for the buff and Surge of Power. I noticed I could have hit Arcane Explosion one more round and maybe killed him, so there was maybe room for more efficiency here.
With Nether Faerie Dragon, you want to use Moonfire on cooldown while using Life Exchange when you last need it. The round after Life Exchange was used, he missed me. After that, I used Arcane Blast and Moonfire on cooldown.

Faryl:

Nexus Whelpling (x,2,2)
Nexus Whelpling (x,2,2)
Any dragonkin

Arcane Storm -> Mana Surge
First whelpling dies here
Mana Surge

Caregiver Maximillian:

This strat worked for me my first try, but it looks like it's not going to work, so I think there may be some RNG, but it will get you there.

Nether Faerie Dragon (2,x,1)
Nexus Whelpling (x,2,2)
Nexus Whelpling (x,2,2)

I opened with Moonfire, then I used Arcane Blast once or twice until I had to use Life Exchange or else I'd die, and then I finished him off with with Arcane Blast.

After his first pet died, Nether Fearie Dragon was on his last leg and got one hit off on the next guy with his Moonfire. Then I used Nexus Whelpling's Arcane Storm and Mana Surge until it died and then the next thing with the next Nexus Whelpling. The first Nexus Whelpling dies before his second pet dies, so that's where it seems a bit RNG, but Mana Surge hits hard, so maybe not so much.

Thenia:

No RNG here, but it's random what happens to you

Nexus Whelpling (2,2,2)
Nexus Whelpling (2,2,2)
Any dragonkin

I used Arcane Storm whenever it was up followed by Mana Surge. When both were on cooldown, I used Frost Breath. Never even needed my third dragonkin pet.

Glitterdust:

Nexus Whelpling (x,2,2)
Nexus Whelpling (x,2,2)
Nether Faerie Dragon (2,x,1)

Arcane Storm -> Mana Surge
Arcane Storm -> Mana Surge
Moonfire -> Arcane Blast
