Xu'Fu is finally viable in PvP Pet battle! (Detailed Guide)
Posted: December 20th, 2016, 5:05 am
Xu' Fu was the first pet i bouht from the celestial tournament. But unfortunately he was a bit weak in pvp because of his low helath pool even though he hits like a truck. But since the newest addon our beloved cutenessoverload tiger is usefull in pvp pet battle.
If you ask how that is possible because he himself was not changed at all in the latest patches? The answer is the addition of new pets that synergize extremely well with him. The pet that makes him truly shine is Stardust with his moves Starfall (played well it counters Darkness teams through overwriting their weather) and Celestial Blessing. Starfall changes the wheather to Moonlight which makes Xu' Fus Spirit Claws a 100% hit chance attack that deals 494 damage. Also it enables you to use Feed instead of Moonfire whith a 25% increase in healing (440). Thanks to Celestial blessing you can not get rushed down and you can combo your attacks with Prowl. Prowl can be activated in rounds where the enemy uses some escape or blind mechanics. Once he can not escape your attacks your Spirit Claws will hit for 1235 Damage and Feed with 882 (+ 1103 healing because of Moonshine). If you get a lot of damage to get below 50% health (remember Xu' Fu only gets half the damage because of Celestial blessing which means you need to get over 1400 damage) your Damage is further increased by your racial 25% damage buff. Resulting in 1543 Damage Spirit Claws and 1103 Damage and 1375 Healing Feed!!! This will one shot most of the pets you battle against.
The pet i found to be most usefull with these two is an S/S Wicked Soul. You start your battle with Wicked Soul and Haunt. In most cases you get just free damage from this and can swap in Stardust. Stardust is used to activate Celestial Blessing and Starfall for Moonlight weather. Then swap to Xu' Fu which gets blessed. Start with Spirit Claws or Prowl in some cases even with Feed depending on the enemy pet. (keep in mind the Prowl lasts two rounds and will not get lost if you miss) After you have healed up with Feed and killed the enemy pet you can switch back to your Wicked Soul. Now you can cast Haunting Song to heal up Stardust in the back row which heals for 224 normally but with Moonlight still up for 280. Cast Shadowshock until Haunt is available then Haunt. -> Start from the beginning until you win^^
There are some Pets that you will struggle sligthly against. One is Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling with his Decoy (you should try to get rid of one with Starfall) And the hated Teroclaw Hatchling which proffits from Moonlight as well but can be out damaged by your Xu' Fu. If you dont face both in combination with a Fiendish Imp that messes with your rotation using Nethergate you will stomp the enemy team into the ground!
Have fun testing. (you can keep grammar and typing errors)
Pls let me know how this team works for you.
