Substitutes:

Note: You have selected a substitute pet.
The strategy might fail if you use it with this pet instead of the one the strategy creator intended.

The substitute finder looks for these criteria in relation to the original pet:
  • Same family
  • Has the required skills
  • Has the required stats (if specified)
  • Ignores specific breed requirements for the main pet, as breeds can be very different for substitutes

This team & strat is part of my Emperor Crab & Soul of the Forge challenge run. I tried to use a very limited number of no super rare pets who usually survive multiple fights.

My crab died in an earlier fight so I used a green level 21 one and.. It worked!?

Turbo wrote on 2018-12-12 15:52:44

why not use a beast for all these critter battles?

(OP) Lazey

wrote on 2018-12-12 16:34:25

Most stages in Gnomeregan include battles with 1 specific team leader pet and 2 random teammates from a list of 7 (5x Mech, 1x Critter, 1x Undead). Usually, each time you play that dungeon you will face different teams. Maybe next time you fight Cockroach accompanied by two nasty mechs and a beast would fail. Emperor Crab could often solo entire teams, the rabbits are there to take Greater Apocalypse hits if they happen and Soul of the Forge mostly to face Gnomish Rocket Chickens because they often weakened my crab too much while testing.

Tutonik wrote on 2018-12-14 05:54:19

Thanks for the RCG (Random Crittur Generator) info. I was somewhat confused because I had only the one Cockroach and no GRCs (Chickens). My Soul of the Forge nearly died...from boredom. It never saw battle. Now, the strategy makes sense.

When there were multiple roaches on the team, I brought in my hare when the first had one hit left... smacked it with flurry, and was able to dodge the second roach's apocalypse also on its first round. Easy to avoid the apocalypses with proper timing.

After I did the dodge on the first round with my Arctic Hare I brought in my Emperor Crab which only was a H/H. As long as I keep up my shield I was able to block all of the Cockroach swarms which I never took any damage.
