For those new to pet battles or not having level 25 pets.

A level 1 setup to deal with this challenge fairly easy, just swap to the next one when they near death

(Pet world Quests scale to your highest level pet in the team, great way to get into pet battles get some extra reputation and level your pets along the way!)

Opponent's Team (level 25, rare quality):

[pet-ability=117]
[pet-ability=1016]
2. [npc=141512]

This isn't a terribly complicated fight. yeou1 uses a bubble frog (list) instead of a healing frog as the first pet in their 2-pet strategy (here) - useful if you want to try to bring in a leveling pet.



My team:


  • Three frogs with [pet-ability=228], [pet-ability=123], [pet-ability=232] (list)
    - If you don't already have frogs, consider taming from higher level zones, as they grant higher level tames: ex. [npc=62997] in Jade Forest. [npc=63919] is the only (current) frog with a breed that can be faster than all 3 pets.

vs. All
[pet-ability=232], and reapply during opponent's undead round OR with 1 round remaining
[pet-ability=123] as soon as you've taken enough damage and then on CD
[pet-ability=228] to fill



- Depending on your stable, I wanted to call out the [npc=63062] (alts) as another option to try. Using [pet-ability=566] to become faster than each opponent would maximize the number of hits you'll get from [pet-ability=228]. [pet-ability=283] can be used for mitigation, but is weaker than a frog's bubble or heal.
