Chi Chi
Team 1. Panda water spirit ( whirl, geysor) Chromious ( Howl, surge)
Team 2. Snails

Zao
Team 1. Raptors ( the buff that adds damage per hit, then the swarm attack (hunting party?) Crow
Team 2. Unborn Valk ( Dooms, SS) Chromius (Howl surge)

Xu
Team 1. 2 Foxes ( DD, Howl, Flurry), Menengerial ( Ion cannon)
Team 2. Stunted yeti (mangle, rampage), water spirit ( geysor, whirl) Chromius (howl surge)

Yula
Team 1. Greg Gell ( can almost solo) Anything with big hit ability to finish it off
Team 2. Bonkers (same deal).

That is off the top of my head. basically 2 teams that are basically sure wins.

Here's what I do:

Xu-Fu:
- Sunreaver Micro-sentry. Open with Fel Immolate and then Lightening Storm
- Switch to Menagerie Custodian
- Use Shock & Awe + Ion Cannon
- Switch to Darkmoon Tonk (or another Custodian)
- Use Shock & Awe + Ion Cannon
If neither of them get a stun in, they'll probably die. but at that point Xu should be almost dead. Then with your Sunreaver cast Lightening Storm.

Chi-Chi:
- Unborn Valk. Use Curse of Doom. Shock until there's 1 round until Doom goes off, then use Unholy Ascension.
- Arcane Eye. Use Mana Surge.. should be able to get 1 or 2 huge hits in before dying
- Living Fluid (or oozeling). Use Corrosion. Then Expunge if chi-chi won't use dodge. Ooze Touch until dead

Zao:
- Pandaren Water Spirit. Use Geyser then Whirlpool. Switch to
- Lil Bad Wolf (S/S breed). Use howl then Claw twice. Zao is usually dead by now
- have a Chrominius as backup (growl + surge of power)

Yula:
- Gregarious Grell can solo! Keep using Punch. Phase Shift when yula lifts. Cauterize if you get below half health.
- Have a hopling or flayer as back-up

Yu'la: Anubisath Idol, Flayer youngling, Bonkers

Chi-Chi: Rapana Whelk, Pandaren Water Spirit, Chrominius

Zao: Wild Jade Hatchling, Menagerie Custodian, Enchanted Broom

Xu-fu: Unborn Val'kyr, Son of Animus.

Could probably use Son of animus for Zao too. I just mentioned the Jade Hatchling and flayer youngling because that's what I used for my last kill; they could be swapped for a better pet with similar abilities.

If you don't have gregarious grell, Mr. Bigglesworth can easily solo Yula,
Rotation is something along the lines of
Claw claw ice tomb, ice barrier, claw and repeat. Can't remember the exact rotation but im sure you can figure it out.

I used the following teams.
These are strats I found, they are NOT my creations.

Yu'la: (found strat on wowhead)
Solo with Mr. Bigglesworth [Claw/Ice Barrier/Ice Tomb]
Rotation: Claw - Ice Tomb - Ice Barrier - PASS - Claw - Claw, Repeat
Any decent humanoid can act as a backup, such as Anubisath Idol or Kun Lai Runt; only needed once (bad RNG).

Chi-Chi: (found strat on wowhead)
Voodoo Figurine [Wild Magic/Rot] + Giant Sewer Rat [Stampede]
Keep up Wild Magic, then when the death passive goes off, Rot
Stampede with Giant Sewer Rat
I put a snail in the third slot but I've never needed it.

Xu-fu: (found strat here on warcraftpets)
Sunreaver Micro Sentry----> Call Lightning
Switch to Clockwork Gnome----> Build Turret
Switch to Cogblade Raptor--->Expose wounds and screech and, if not dead, batter
Switch to Clockwork Gnone---> Built Turret
By that time, he will be dead by the end of the next turn, and all 100% hit chance moves

Zao: (found strat here on warcraftpets)
Pandaren Water Spirit---> Geyser then whirlpool. Being faster than the ox, he literally could have 1 health and he wouldn't die, and it would work out better if he DID die here.
Chrominius---->Howl, Bite, Surge. I recommend bite because he will 100% use wish after the G&W go off, so you can bite him during the stunned turn, then Surge when he casts wish.

There are a number of good strats here and on other web sites.
These strats have worked for me every time (so far), and were based on pets I had or could get and level up.

Have you tried carrying a pet for xp on this fight? Her first turn she won't do any damage, so you could easily lead with the carry. I'm just wondering if the xp gained is even worth it.

Xu Fu: Mechanicals - Yeti & pets with Surge of power/Ion Canon

So after forgetting what teams I used the first time, I basically used a BoF team. Pandaren Water Spirit, Chrominus & an advantage typed pet.

To be specific, I used the same set of pets (No duplicates, no pets died).
I healed after each fight: http://veloda.blogspot.com/2013/07/how- ... stial.html

I will have to try this out. I was messing around with the idea of using Rot and then Critter attacks to make use of it but couldn't find one that worked well enough. It was actually Yu'la I was planning to use it on though.

The use Wild magic and applying Rot after the Death Passive goes off to maximize the up time are great ideas.

My Chi-Chi kills so far have been from using a Crow and Spectral Porcupette to make use of hard hitting Darkness abilities.

It really is a case of Burst damage. Abilities like Black Claw or Lightning Storm to add damage and Shattered Defense (from Howl or Swarm like abilities) to then double it work really well, especially on the two Beasts.

You only need 1 team to beat all 4 celestials.

Pandaren Water Spirit: Water Jet, Whirlpool, Geyser
Chrominius: Bite, Howl, Surge of Power
Mr. Bigglesworth: Claw, Ice tomb, Ice Barrier

Do Yu’la last, use crawdad to heal up water spirit and chrominius between fights.

VS Chi-chi
Geyser, Whirlpool – Swap to Chrominius – Howl, Surge of Power.

VS Zao
Geyser, Whirlpool – Swap to Chrominius – Howl, Bite, Surge of Power.

VS Xu-Fu
Geyser, Whirlpool – Swap to Chrominius – Howl, Surge of Power.

VS Yu'la
Claw, Ice tomb, Ice Barrier, PASS TURN, Claw, Claw, Repeat. If Mr.Bigglesworth dead, swap in water spirit or chrominius and finish the fight.

IMO a carry is 100% not worth it against the Celestial Children. I brought a level 24 snail into battle against one of the Celestials and at the end of battle it gained a whopping 170 XP (that's WITH the safari hat). I also needed a lot more than 170 XP to level it to 25, so I'm positive that it wasn't a case where I was missing out on XP.

With the other trainers it might be worthwhile. You get about twice the pet XP of a regular pet battle fighting against the three trainers with their teams, per battle. This means you could potentially fight them, get XP, and then drop the scenario and requeue to fight them again ad infinitum, but I don't find it a viable alternative to just fighting pets in the wild.

Instead of Mr. Bigglesworth, you can use the Unborn Val'kyr as lead also. Instead of Unholy Ascension, use Haunt.

Pattern is the same for each:

Curse of Doom > Haunt > Switch to Spirit > Geyser > Whirlpool > swap to Chrom > Howl > (opponant takes truckload and is stunned) Surge of Power (if even needed).

And yep, heal up between fights with an AoE heal (Blossoming Ancient's is really good).

Also, [pet]Bonkers[/pet] can solo Yu'la.

How can you heal between battles in the scenario?

When fighting the Celestials you can use a team heal ability vs 3 of the 4 and then forfeit. Repeat as often as needed to bring all your pets back up. There's another post on the forums that goes into more detail here: [url]http://www.warcraftpets.com/community/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=6472[/url]

Seconding what Rendigar said. If things are going badly and you expect you're going to lose, or something like a key move misses, forfeit and heal to full before your very important team dies. I've done this repeatedly on Chi-chi (stupid crane), and they're saying it's also possible on Yula. I noticed Wise Mari's opening pet did the same. I didn't find the trick until week 3, so I haven't checked if it'll work on the rest of the tamers in the first round.

My personal choices:

Chi-Chi
Lofty Libram 122, Lil' Tarecgosa 211, Shimmering Wyrmling 121
Pretty straight-forward shooting. The birdie goes ethereal on turns 3, 7, 11, 15, etc. so use your self-buffs during those turns.

Xu-Fu
Anything with lightning, Lil' Bling 2X1, whatever
Probably the hardest of the four unless you have a Lil' Bling. If you do, just put up lightning, throw money and hit Inflation. The end.

Yu'la
Unborn Val'kyr 122, Stitched Pup 121, whatever
Pretty straight-forward. Undead pets take less damage from the breath attack, so just use vulnerabilities to kill the dragon. I have yet to actually need the third pet.

Zao
Darkmoon Zeppelin 112, Pet Bombling 122, Menagerie Custodian 212
Use the zeppelin to force Zao to burn his Wish (open with Decoy), then go all out nuking to get him down before he can heal again. Put up smoke with the bombling, then kamikaze and go Shock -> Ion on the Custodian. You might get even better results with a Rabid Nut Varmint 5000 using Rabid Strike at some point in there.

Pretty much all of them can also be killed by just abusing vulnerability and throwing random foxes and wolves at them, but I feel that's a lame approach.

Xuen and Chi-Chi:

Pandaren Water Spirit and Chrominius. Geyser --> Whirlpool --> Swap --> Howl --> Surge of Power

If you do Xuen first, you should have enough health to use the same two pets against Chi-Chi so you don't need to level a second set.

Zao: Flying type faster than zao even once they're below 50% health with either flock or swarm. Spam Flock or Swarm till you're dead, then follow with a mech that has ion cannon. You'll probably need one attack before the ion cannon will do enough damage to kill zao given the magicish buff he has.

Yu-la:

Things with humanoid attacks. Use w/e you have, bonus points if they have an avoidance ability. Don't use things with multi hit attacks since her shield will mitigate too much of that.

For Zao, I've found the Zandalari Raptors and a Clockwork Gnome to be very reliable. My raptors are all P/P, so they only get two rounds in before Zao kills them.

Zandalari Ankerender/Kneebiter: Hunting Party and Black Claw
Clockwork Gnome: Metal Fist, Build Turret
Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling (not used)

Round 1: Have your raptor apply Black Claw
Round 2: Hunting Party
Round 3: Zao kills raptor, switch to Clockwork Gnome
Round 4: Build Turret. Each hit from the turret will be 450+
Round 5: Metal Fist, Turret hits 3x again, Zao dies
