Chopped

Chopped is randomly available in Suramar (62.95, 60.73) - near the Twilight Vineyard portal, only visible if you've unlocked World Quests, AND have reached honored with [faction=1859], AND have completed the "Blood and Wine" storyline for Good Suramaritan. Rewards will vary.

Varenne will have the following team (all level 25 rares):

1. [npc=105675]

mechanical

[pet-ability=943]

[pet-ability=942]

[pet-ability=945]

2. [npc=105677]

critter

[pet-ability=119]

[pet-ability=152]

[pet-ability=283]

3. [npc=105678]

aquatic

[pet-ability=233]

[pet-ability=934]

[pet-ability=232]

---

World Quest Team: The RNG from [pet-ability=942] and [pet-ability=233] will impact any fight - but this is otherwise a pretty straightforward encounter that can be 1v1 with a variety of pets.

• Slot 1 (pick one): Elemental with Elemental attacks - ex. [npc=68466], [npc=84853], [npc=26119], [npc=62621], etc.
• 
  
• Slot 2 (pick one): Beast/Humanoid with Beast attacks - ex. any of your basic cats (list), [npc=68846], [npc=62555], etc.
• 
  
• Slot 3 (pick one): Flying/Magic with Flying attacks - ex. [npc=67443], [npc=81431], [npc=97079], [npc=61877], etc.

WQ suggestion at bottom.

Aquatic: Aquatic Acquiescence

• [npc=65203] (1,1,1) +2 strategy (here) by Jynzor.
  I would suggest something like a [npc=83642] (1,2,2) for backup, as [pet-ability=232] would tick away at a [pet-ability=934] even if you get stunned by [pet-ability=233], and Bubble has an 8 round CD, so you're free to spam [pet-ability=297] (aside from kisses) after that.

Beast: Best of the Beasts (TBD)

---

Critter: Mousing Around
- Team: [npc=61328] (1,2,1) (alt) | [npc=22943] (2,1,2) | [npc=85846] (1,1,1)
My Fire Beetle was H/S and I also tested with a P/P Lava Beetle. They run around 90%. Alts for the Bush Chicken - maybe? Search critters with [pet-ability=112].

Spoiler

vs. Gusteau
[pet-ability=172] -> [pet-ability=113] -> [pet-ability=173]
[pet-ability=113] until dead (usually both of you)

vs. Remy
- Bring in Wolpertinger
[pet-ability=515] -> [pet-ability=571] -> [pet-ability=124]

vs. Dinner
- Between the rest of [pet-ability=172] and [pet-ability=124], [pet-ability=934] should be gone & Wolper should be dead. Bring in Bush Chicken.
[pet-ability=524] -> [pet-ability=581] -> [pet-ability=376] should end the fight

Dragonkin: Dragons! (TBD)
Elemental: Ragnaros, Watch and Learn (TBD)

Flying: Flock Together

• Grab 3 moths with [pet-ability=504], [pet-ability=506], [pet-ability=508]. Aim for breeds with highest Power stats (P/P Yellow > P/S Red > P/S Ashwing = P/S Flamering = P/S Royal > other breeds/moths with these attacks).
  - Prioritize: [pet-ability=508] on CD (except when frog has bubble) > [pet-ability=506] > [pet-ability=504] to fill.

Magic: Master of Magic

• Team: [npc=71016] (2,1,1) (alt) | [npc=61883] (2,1,2) | [npc=23231] (1,2,2)

There are other pets that could work in each slot, depending on your stable:
- Slot 1: Replace with [npc=90202] (1,1,2) - using [pet-ability=503] when [pet-ability=178] is indicated.
- Slot 2: Filter to your Magic pets and search for Beast attacks like [pet-ability=110], [pet-ability=429], [pet-ability=535], or [pet-ability=492].
- Slot 3: An [npc=33227] or [npc=61877] could also work - try to save [pet-ability=453] or [pet-ability=170] until Bubble is gone.

For a carry (any HP), Anubisath Idol (1, 1, 1) and Zandalari Kneebiter (2, 2, 2) works well.

Against Gusteau: Start with Anubisath Idol. Use Sandstorm on cooldown, Deflection when it is available against Frying Pan (to avoid the stun and some damage), and Crush as a filler. He will always use abilities in this priority: Heat Up > Frying Pan > Chop. The second time he will be using Heat Up (round 6) you want to switch to your carry pet and then back to Anubisath Idol the next turn. Finish Gusteau out and, if your RNG hasn't been too bad from the Frying Pans that you weren't able to use Deflection on, Anubisath Idol will have some health left.

Against Remy: continue with Anubisath Idol until it dies (it may not!). Use Sandstorm on cooldown to mitigate the poison, save Deflection for the round AFTER Remy uses Survival (if Anubisath Idol is still alive at that point) to avoid taking some damage and having Anubisath Idol still alive to finish Remy off; spam Crush otherwise.

If Anubisath Idol dies during Remy, switch to Zandalari Kneebiter. You should be able to just use Bloodfang and finish Remy off at this point.

Against Dinner: use Anubisath Idol until he dies, saving Deflection for Frog Kiss. Dinner uses his abilities in this priority: Bubble > Swarm of Flies (if DoT is not up) > Frog Kiss.

When Anubisath Idol dies, bring out Zandalari Kneebiter. Use Black Claw then Hunting Party and Bloodfang to finish him off (if needed). Any of the Zandalari raptor pets will work if they have Hunting Party since, the point behind the selection of it, is to mitigate Dinner's Bubble ability absorbing 2 attacks.

for people who had as much trouble locating this as I did. It's in the vineyard area, go like you're going to the wq to kill butterflies and collect mana worms, then proceed to the southeastern edge of that rise. Look for the Pierre (renamed Gastaeu) pet running around waving his arms.
