Sadly she does not appear to be a 1967 Shelby GT500.

After numerous ways of trying various teams, I found the tried and true Pandaren Water Spirit / Chrominius combo worked the best.

Your first pet can be basically anything. Its job is simply to take the charge Eleanor does in round 2. Whether you can survive it or stun it or not is irrelevant, and even if you survive the stun, Eleanor will heal herself back to full by the time the first pet is dead.

In comes the Pandaren Water Spirit. You simply start the Geyser, followed by Whirlpool. Then switch to Chrominius and immediately hit Howl. The Geyser and Whirlpool will hit, stunning Eleanor at around 35% health. Surge of Power with Howl active will finish off Eleanor.

Love you, @undergoat! :)

EDIT: To make the strat even more fail-proof, you can have a specific first pet. I personally like to use Darkmoon Zeppelin to drop a decoy, then blow itself up. This gives you a bit of extra time for the Water Spirit/Chrom combo. As others mentioned, Unborn Val'kyr is good too. Any of the foxes to give a speed boost can work as well.

** as of Sept 14 build ... Eleanor's speed is 298 increasing required speed to 300 + ***

daily pet battle ,
Eleanor is goes solo and has the Boss buff that prevents damage taken by 50% and limits damage taken by 35% per hit

used
Darkmoon Zeppelin 1-2-2
Hare type pets with speed > 299 ... 1-2-2
Brown Marmot 1-1-2 (can use a 2nd hare with the speed req , i just dont have another 1)

Start off with Zeppelin >
Decoy > Explode >

bring out 1st hare >
Stampede , continues for 3 rounds >
Dodge (to dodge an attack and Rot next turn) >
Scratch >
Stampede >
(1st hare can either die 1st or trigger Eleanor's 1st death , undead bonus)

**If 1st hare triggers the undead bonus of Eleanor >
just dodge/dive on 3rd pet

**If 1st hare dies with Eleanor having low health >
Bring out Brown Marmot >
Chomp , 1-2 will be enough to kill Eleanor due to dmg increase buff from hare>
use Dive to be safe from Death Bleat or Eleanors undying turn from undead passive...

Had no problem taking out Eleanor with a couple hares Tolai Hare, Tolai Hare Pup and a cricket Grassland Hopper for back up.

Video of her demise here: Eleanor the Undead Goat gets bunnystomped

1 S/S Bunny of any variety can almost solo her - but the moves to use are pretty set; I used a S/S Tolai Hare Pup because teeny bunnies are even cuter. (after the big nerf of 6.1 this is even easier!)

Team used:

The moves you will use are in a very static order to deflect what Eleanor's scripted moveset is doing. She is *very* strong however because of the bunny's speed and dodge, you are just chuckin' and jivin' around her moves and it's great!

These are the moves in exact order:

Tolai Hare Pup=Flurry>Dodge>Flurry>Stampede(lasts 3 rounds)>Dodge>Flurry>Stampede - Tolai Hare Pup dies.

Bring out Alpine Hare and Flurry>Dodge. Done.

Comment by Goulashia

None of the posts here before me worked, I did finally find a team that did flawlessly.

Mr Bigglesworth 111
Zandalari Anklerender 222
Red Cricket 111 Really, any pet with Swarm/Stampede will do.

Certain breeds aren't needed.

1- Ice Tomb
2- Ice Barrier
3- Switch to Zandalari
4- Primal Cry
5- Black Claw
6- Hunting Party, raptor will die during this
7-With Red Cricket just Swarm and Eleanor should be dead.

Comment by Martika

If you don't have enough rabbits at lvl 25 (I had two at 21 that simply weren't fast enough,) try using one fast rabbit, a fox, and then a slow rabbit. Using the fox's skill to speed up your team for 9 rounds, plus the skill to double damage for two rounds, brings Eleanor down low enough that your low level fox can finish her off. :D

Comment by 1332353

This strat works very well with a lot of buffer and requires three basic pets.

Alpine Foxling Kit(Health + Speed)
Flurry / Howl / Dazzling Dance

Rabbit (Balance)
Flurry / Dodge / Stampede

Elfin Rabbit (Speed)
Flurry / Dodge / Stampede

1. Start with Fox and cast Dazzling Dance.
2. Cast Howl and Fox will then get owned by the charge.
3. Switch to Rabbit (Balance) and cast Flurry.
4. Cast Flurry again.
5. Cast Dodge followed by a Stampede. During the stampede the rabbit might die.
6. If the rabbit dies, switch to Elfin Rabbit (Speed). Otherwise, Flurry again then switch to Elfin Rabbit.
7. Cast Flurry - Goat dies and resurrects.
8. Cast Dodge and wait for him to keel over.

Done and done.

Comment by Kheffe

Extremely easy fight, you can use your PWS and Chrominius combo with no problem! I used:

Unborn Val'kyr
Pandaren Water Spirit
Chrominius (any pet with Howl)

Start with your Val'kyr, Eleanor will use Death Bleat and kill you on the second round so make sure you apply Curse of Doom on your last turn, send your Water Spirit and inmediately cast Geyser followed by Whirlpool, switch to Chrominius and use Howl, your abilities will land and kill her, she will be stunned for her last turn so use any skill you want on the last round to end the battle.

Comment by danicadb1

Kheffe, this worked first time, thank-you :)

Comment by Snagrom

This combo worked really well for me:

Unborn Val'kyr - Haunt (only spell used)
Rabbit - Dodge and Stampede
Darkmoon Tonk - Shock and Awe, Ion Cannon

1. Unborn - Use Haunt and bring out Rabbit
2. Rabbit - Dodge to avoid big attack
3. Rabbit - Stampede until dead to keep the double damage up
4. Darkmoon Tonk - Shock and Awe (if really lucky you get a stun - but not needed)
5. Darkmoon Tonk - Ion Cannon

After you hit with Ion Cannon, he should be dead. I was able to survive the undead rez without bringing the Unborn back out.

Good Luck!

Comment by Ankzu

I used the following three pets:

Lost of Lordaeron
Frosty
Chrominius

Attack rotation:

1. Curse of Doom
2. Ice Tomb (Frosty will most likely die just before)
3. Howl
4. Surge of Power

Comment by Melisan

Now that this pet appears in the Garrison Menagerie daily, I tried the old Chrominius/PWS nuke combo and kept getting destroyed due to the Rot/Chomp combo when I switched pets. I tried a magic pet to soak the hit and still got owned because I couldn't get Whirlpool up before PWS died.

I was able to counter this with an Arctic Fox Kit using Dazzling Dance to push Chrominius + PWS speed higher than Eleanor's. After that, Chromi+PWS nuke and Eleanor went down.

This may still be somewhat RNG. I used Crouch on my Fox Kit to avoid it dying and it was barely alive to take the win after Eleanor came back for a turn.

Comment by plokmijn12

Since I don't have any high enough Rabbits, I had to improvise.

Mr. Bigglesworth - Pounce, Ice Barrier, Ice Tomb
Zandalari Kneebiter- Hunting Party, Black Claw
Darkmoon Zeppelin- Missile, Explode, Decoy

Start off with Mr. Bigglesworth and use Ice Tomb followed up by Ice Barrier.

Switch to Zandalari Kneebiter and use Black Claw then Hunting Party. Eleanor should be at ~600 hp.

Switch to Darkmoon Zeppelin and use Decoy -> Missile -> Explode.

Bring Mr. Bigglesworth back out and use Pounce twice. At this point just survive until Eleanor dies.

Done and done.

Comment by sidelsky18

Much like all of the other garrison pet battle fights, I don't have the OP combos that everyone else uses, so my strategies are a little unorthodox...

I used:

Level 25 Rare Murkalot (2,2,2)
Level 22 Rare Unborn Val'kyr (2,2,2)
Level 25 Rare Sifang Otter (2,2,2) (Or any other pet with a dodge ability like Dodge or Dive)

The important part of this fight is to understand that Eleanor will use her supermegadeath ability whenever it is up (every 8 turns). It will charge for one turn and then deal like 3000 damage the next turn. This is how I dealt with it:

Comment by ScyllaBuzz

I guess I'm having an issue with speed. My Tolari Hare Pup has a speed of 305. Eleanor has a speed of 256, according to the above description. Someone mentioned that it has been increased to 298. However, Eleanor continues to show a higher speed (and the ability to be first) when I fight her. Am I doing something wrong? Grrrrr....

Edit: I just checked in-game and her speed is 310. Why? Why?

Comment by joeartguy

I didn't have some of the pets mentioned here leveled up, so I used a different strategy:
Voodoo Figurine with Flame Breath/Wild Magic/Rot
Fox Kit with Flurry/Howl/Dazzling Dance
Small Frog (or any frog) with Tongue Lash/Cleansing Rain/Swarm of Flies

Round 1: Voodoo Figurine applies Wild Magic. Eleanor charges up.
Round 2: Voodoo Figurine selects Flame Breath. Eleanor charges and kills him. Being undead, he rezzes and uses the ability anyway.
Round 3: Voodoo Figurine reapplies Wild Magic (very important!), drops dead.

Round 4: Fox Kit selected, takes hit, does Dazzling Dance. I tried this without doing the dance, but attacking first makes a huge difference.
Round 5: Fox Kit applies Howl, takes hit.
Round 6: Fox Kit attacks with Flurry. With all debuffs, this will take out over half of Eleanor's health.

At the end of Round 6, Eleanor will probably kill the Fox Kit. But you've still got two rounds left of the Wild Magic debuff.

Round 7: Either your Fox Kit uses Flurry, or your Small Frog uses Tongue Lash. Either way it should clear out the last of Eleanor's health. If it doesn't, one more Tongue Lash should do it. Eleanor, as undead, rezzes for one more round.
Round 8: Hit your Small Frog's heal. Survive the round, Eleanor drops dead, you win.

I tried this a couple more times to make sure the rotation worked every time, so if you have these pets you should be able to lock it down.

Comment by mstieler

Eleanor is now a P/S Breed, with 1997 Health, 484 Attack, and 310 Speed.

Comment by Cocoacross

I used a combination of tactics and pet recommendations off the comments here since I didn't have a replicated team all level 25. I used Alpine Foxling (325 Speed), Zandalari Anklerender (341 Speed), and Grassland Hopper (276 Speed). I think speed is irrelevant with the second and third pet as I used Dazzling Dance to increase their speed attribute anyway.

Alpine Foxling - 2, 1, 2
Zandalari Anklerender - 2, 2, 2
Grassland Hopper - 1, 1, 1

Round 1 - Dazzling Dance
Round 2 - Crouch (to survive the huge attack Eleanor just charged up for)
Round 3 - Flurry
Round 4 - My Foxling was still alive so did another Flurry, then died. Brought in the Zandalari Anklerender.**
Round 5 - Primal Cry
Round 6 - Black Claw
Round 7 - Hunting Party
Round 8 - Hunting Party. Zandalari Anklerender dies.**
Round 9 - Bring in last pet and start right away with Swarm. Eleanor died after the first wave. Ressurcted. Swarm continues until the Undead buff wears off and Eleanor dies permanently.

**Note: I felt I was lucky here with my first two pets surviving long enough to do a second Flurry/Hunting Party, then died. However, with the damage the Grassland Hopper's Swarm does, I don't think it will matter if your first two pets die a round earlier than mine did. Swarm will do a TON of damage with the Hunting Party debuff, you only need to do this once to apply it.

Hope this works out for someone, but again, the real credit goes to the comments already established on this page. This was just another combination I came up with using their strategies.

Comment by 1406707

You can beat her with rabbits and a good debuff. No exotic pets required.

Eleanor's attack pattern is: Death Bleat (charge up), Death Bleat (release), Rot, Chomp, Chomp, Chomp, Rot, Chomp, Chomp, Chomp. You just have to make Death Bleat and Rot both miss every time and you win, which can be done with the Rabbit combination of Dodge and Burrow. But most people don't have 3 lvl 25 Rabbits, so start with a great debuff.

Pet 1, Azure Whelpling or any pet that has a debuff that adds damage per strike.
Use Wild Magic, then take Eleanor's big strike and die.
Pet 2, Rabbit with more than 310 Speed (Eleanor's speed). Use Dodge, Eleanor's Rot will miss as well as her first Chomp. Use Flurry three times, each dealing up to 450 damage because of Wild Magic. Use Burrow so Rot will miss again, fight as long as you can.
Pet 3, Rabbit with more than 310 Speed. Remember when Death Bleat and Rot will come up, and that Undead pets come back a round after they die. Use both Dodge and Burrow appropriately to finish Eleanor and survive the final round.

Comment by 823762

Beat her with:
Darkmoon Zeplin
Unborn Valkyre
Tranquil Yeti

Start with valk put curse on then next round shadowshock followed by unholy acension. Bring in darkmoon zep, do a fly by then explode. bring in yeti and call lightning followed by ion cannon. Won doing it just like that.

Comment by 1406809

my amber moth solo him down to 200 hp........finished him with chrominius....I guess a team of 2-3 flying with cocoon strike and moth dust will do.....my moth dust put him to sleep 3 out of 3

Comment by BeerWolf

Using Fox pets with Howl + Flurry works em down like a charm.

Starting with a pet with a move like deflecting, such as the Anubis Idol:

1) Attack him first round, then deflect to take that seriously hard hitting ability.
2) Attack again on 3rd round when he uses rot... then swap to a fox.
3) Use howl, then Flurry him dead.
4) Switch back to pet with deflect to handle the undead passive should your fox die after downing it.

Comment by kirstuan

My pet combination;
Unborn Val'kyr H/H
Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling S/S
Glided Moth S/B (any moth with Moth dust and Cocoon strike should be fine)

1st Val'kyr
- Doom
- Shadow Shock
- Unholy Ancension

2nd Mechanical Dragonling
- Flyby
- Thunderbolt
- Explode

3rd Glided Moth
- Moth Dust
- Cocoon Strike

Tried few times this and worked perfectly and best part is no rng ^^

Comment by 1129830

I actually managed to do this with an Elekk Plushie, an Alpine Foxling and an Alpine Foxling Kit.

First three rounds - be the cutest Elekk Plushie you can be :3 By this point Eleanor has burned through her death attack and applied the debuff, which means nothing to a Magic creature as you will absorb 4 powerful blows of any strength. If you are using the Plushie, you can use Itchin' for a Stitchin' to get a pet swap AFTER Rot is applied, so you get to put up Dazzling Dance a turn earlier.

Fourth round - switch to a fox, apply Dazzling Dance.
Fifth round onwards - howl, then Flurry until the fox is dead. Use your other fox to re-apply howl, then Flurry. If all goes correctly, you should kill Eleanor either just before she starts charging, or on that turn.

You can substitute the Elekk Plushie for any magic pet, I just wanted to use it cos is sooo cute and the low-speed swap makes a small difference.

NB you get very little xp from these, I got 290 for my level 21 Plushie.

Comment by 921362

Remember that badass Sunreaver/Zandalari combo that wrecked epic pets in MoP? It's back in action for this one!

1x Sunreaver Micro-Sentry with Fel Immolate and Call Lightning

2x of either Zandalari Kneebiter or Zandalari Anklerender with Black Claw and Hunting Party

Start with the Micro-Sentry - throw out Fel Immolate in Turn 1, and then Call Lightning in Turn 2. Doesn't matter what you attack with in Turn 3 - you'll be dead before you can use it.

Next, pick one of your dinos. Attack with Black Claw in Turn 3 and Hunting Party in Turn 4. This will run the course killing him, and your 3rd pet is basically there just to survive till his 1 turn of invincibility wears off. In the extremely unlikely (or unlucky) chance he crits your dino, continue your rotation with the replacement.

Enjoy your newfound zippy and fun way to stomp the crap out of this elite and many other single pet elites with this great combo. Happy Hunting!

Comment by Enthorn

Unborn Val'kyr
Apply Curse of Doom, then Unholy Ascension. Next round use a Shadow Shock to pass the turn. Bring in Alpine Foxling and apply Dazzling Dance. Next apply Howl. Now Flurry. He should die -- if he doesn't, another round of Flurry will kill him and trigger is undeath. Alpine Foxling will die. Bring in Menagerie Custodian and hit with Shock and Awe or Ion Cannon -- doesn't matter which really.

Comment by shakes91

Killed with:

Moon Moon: 2,1,2
Zandalari Kneebiter: 2,2,1
Tolai Hare: 2,2,2

Moon Dance
Howl

Black Claw
Hunting Party

Finish off with Flurry

Comment by 1170496

3 pets i used to defeat this rather fabbulous pet;

Unborn val'kyr.
Crow
Frostwolf Ghostpup.

Start with val'kyr, shadow shock, curse of doom, unholy ascension.
Next up is crow; call darkness -> murder
Frostwolf ghostpup next; frolick, sneak attack until eleanor defeated.

This is not necessarily 100%, but got the job done.

Comment by Whoisthiscook

This setup worked for me:

1. Unborn Val'kyr (25)
2. Bandicoon (21)
3. Nexus Whelpling (25)

All pets are rare quality.

Start with Unborn Val'kyr, use Curse of Doom followed by Unholy Ascension, followed by a Shadow Slash.
Bandicoon enters the play. Use Powerball until your speed is higher than Eleanor's, at which point use Survival, then spam Tongue Lash until your Bandicoon dies.
Nexus Whelpling: Start with Arcane Storm, then use Mana Surge. Eleanor will die and come back thanks to her Unholiness, but she'll just starts charging her Death Bleat and die right after.

Comment by MieBK

This combo worked for me (all rare quality and level 25 pets):

This is how I did it, pretty straight forward:

Started with Lesser Voidcaller > Used Curse of Doom
Switched to Mr. Bigglesworth (Mr. Bigglesworth died, but revived because it is an Undead) > Used Ice Tomb
(Mr. Bigglesworth is now dead)
Chose Chrominius > Used Howl > Surge of Power
Curse of Doom and Ice Tomb should now hit, finishing it off

There are a lot of great strategies here, but the more the better, in case you don't have the listed pets, right? :-D

Comment by kingturnip

I went with a combination of what other people have done:
Tolai Hare Pup (25)
Core Hound Pup (25)
backup (25)

Start with Flurry, then Dodge and Stampede. Flurry until Death Bleat is cast, then Dodge and Stampede/Flurry until you die.
Choose Core Hound Pup and Scratch while the debuff is active. The goat will use Death Bleat on cooldown, so the minute it's available, Dodge and you'll avoid the damage. Scratch should take you to the end of the fight.

You've then got another pet as backup in case you get unlucky. Alpine Foxling Kit (with Howl, Leap and Flurry) would be a good choice.

Comment by Blacktank

Blizzard could have make it more interesting bij giving the goat a shorter cooldown on bleat.

Comment by L0relei

My team :

Darkmoon Zeppelin or Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling with Decoy
Pandaren Water Spirit with Whirlpool and Geyser
Chrominius with Howl and Surge of Power

Use any ability except Decoy. Eleanor will any way use Death Bleat and kill your Darkmoon Zeppelin
Use Decoy to protect Pandaren Water Spirit
Bring out Pandaren Water Spirit and use Geyser followed by Whirlpool
Bring out Chrominius and use Howl followed by Surge of Power

Comment by superseppo

This one worked great:

Open with water waveling's geyser, then let it die.
Switch to alpine foxling kit, use howl, then dazzling dance and flurry. The goat should die and ress, and kill your foxling. Switch to your 3rd pet and she should die the next round.

Comment by Steffie

I used: Summit Kid - Bandicoon - Kun-Lai Runt.

Start with Comeback and then use Headbutt.
This combination only works if your Headbutt stuns Eleanor.
If it doesn't just press forfeit and try again :)

Comment by xgirlrogue

Here's what worked for me and did NOT have all lvl 25's, but all were of rare quality, since I didn't not have any of the pet combo's above

*a note should be made that before he does his big dmg move Death Bleet he does no dmg but is 'charging' this is your que to to an avoid if you have it, also he starts out by doing this move right out of the gate

1st - Alpine Foxling Kit (lvl 25) - Dazzle (for speed) - Howl (for increase in dmg) he dies

2nd - Frostfur Rat (lvl 24) - Call Darkness (with the previous Howl boost this does huge dmg!) - follow with Sneak Attack until he charges his Death Bleet, then do Refuge to make him miss continue with 1-2 Sneak Attacks until dead

3rd - I used a Hare/rabbit type (lvl 24), but you could use any pet with an avoidance as he will cast the Death Bleet one more time on you, but he should only last about 3 turn and one of those is his charge up to Bleet so as long as you avoid it you should have only a few hundred left to kill off - remember that as an undead he will come back for a turn, but then any small hit and he dies

Comment by Kukicha

Edit: This strat is not true anymore because they changed Eleanor. I guess she got old and got a little slow, but my pandaren water spirit is now faster! You can now apply geyser AND whirlpool whoopeee! And the leveling? If you don't plan to do this pet battle hundreds of time, don't do it. And I don't think this count for a battle pet for the monument.

TL;DR: Don't waste your time, take the fast and easy strat Pandaren Water spirit with a pet with the ability howl and just kill it! :)

Hello,

I used a two pets combo plus a last undead/magic/mechanical lvl 1 pet or a pet that can survive one last attack.

Pandaren Water Spirit and Alpine Foxling ( Your breed for Alpine Foxling must be faster than Eleanor, mine has 325 Speed, 240 Power and 1400 health)

First use Pandaren Water Spirit

Geyser
Pass

Pandaren Water Spirit should be dead after this. Let it die.

Go with Alpine Foxling

Howl
Flurry
Flurry
Flurry
Flurry

Note: The last Flurry might not be useful. Eleanor will enter in undead passive mode and will kill Alpine Foxling, then die after. All the xp will go to your last pet. :)

It is possible that:

1- Eleanor crit twice on Alpine Foxling and that he dies at the end of the fourth turn. Just abandon the pet battle and try it again :( This does not happen often.

2- Alpine Foxling had not crit on Eleanor and hit her only two times with Flurry for each time you used it. In this case, the last Flurry will kill Eleanor, but she will enter in her undead passive and will be able to do one last attack on your third pet. This happened a few times.

Comment by ArticSkoll

my team for this goat-

unborn valk, used curse then unholy ascension
worg pup from howling fjord, used speed buff then howl and flurry
finished off with chrominius- howl then surge of powah

Comment by nickyjean

Rabbits are the way to go with Spring Rabbits. They are S/S only. They always go first. You would have Scratch, Dodge and Burrow. Any bunnies will work though even if you don't get the speed to always go first. Plus with both dodge and burrow bunnies aren't getting hit very often.

Comment by AveryZan

After many frustrating strats and failings vs this undead goat I found an incredibly easy way to beat it in a few moves with pretty much 2 pets and any back up.

Zandalari Anklerender/ Kneebiter has to have +311 Speed: Move list Hunting Party, Black Claw
Any Rabbit 311+ speed: Move list Scratch, Dodge, Claw.

Move 1: Black Claw
Move 2: Hunting Party
Raptor will die Swap to rabbit

Move 1: Stampede
Should be dead but if not just Scratch.

Strat 2: If your Zandalari guy is slow you can do this but it will require a third pet, I use the Darkmoon Tonk.

Move 1 Black claw
Move 2: Any ability may as well do hunting party but it wont matter
Your raptor will die Send in rabbit.
Move: 1: Stampede
The rabbit will most likely die during Stampede but if for some reason it doesn't use scratch.
Send in the Tonk
Move: 1 Shock and Awe
Move: 2 Ion Cannon.

Takes a bit longer but Have never had it Fail as I tested both strats.

Was surprised how effective this was. One thing I want to mention is you can repeat this even after you turn in the daily. This will count towards Your Achievement Draenic Pet Battle Pet battle Achievement.
http://www.wowhead.com/achievement=9463#comments

You can also rez for free by talking to the lady at your stables. Fastest way I have found of beating this fight and completing that achievement for rank 3 Menagerie.

Hope this helps and Good luck!

Comment by Kynlee

If you want to farm Eleanor for Draenic Pet Battler, a 100% strategy that takes a little over 1 minute per battle is:

The entire fight only takes 8 rounds. Passing is to eliminate the animations for abilities.

Pass
Unholy Ascension
Curse of Doom
Switch to Pandaren Water Spirit
Geyser
Whirlpool
Switch to Chrominius
Howl
Pass

For some reason, if your Valk dies on the same turn it casts Unholy Ascension, it still receives the free death round. This makes it possible perform an oldschool howl-bomb with Curse, Geyser and Whirlpool as well as Howl and Ascension. Eleanor dies in one turn and is stunned on her death round to end the battle quickly with a pass.

Edit: Also, if you didn't realize, to quickly heal your battle pets you can just talk to the NPC who sells things for Pet Charms after each battle.

Comment by 303065

Team I have found to work well for me.

Unborn Val'kyr 2-2-2
Fox Kit 2-2-2
(ANY pet with Dodge it appears) I use Darkmoon Rabbit 1-2-2

Fight Breakdown:

Curse of Doom
Unholy Ascension
(dies)
Shadow Shock
(dies for real)
Swap to Fox Kit
Dazzling Dance
Howl (curse of doom should pop)
Flurry
Flurry
(Eleanor should die and resurrect about this time, and kill Fox kit)
Once fox kit dies, swap to your pet with dodge and simple dodge Eleanors next attack. Her undead "bonus round" should wear off and she will die.

Comment by 616569

First off, what an absolute pain in the ass fight. You need a perfect combo and some good RNG to get this, that or have your pick of lvl 25 pets to do whatever you want. I only have 30 or so lvl 25 pets, so I often have to get creative, heres how I got this one:

Unborn Val'kyr
Alpine Foxling Kit
Menagerie Custodian

While its helpful to have your foxling be faster than Eleanor, its not 100% required.

-start off with the Val'kyr:
1) curse of doom
2) Unholy Ascension
3) Shadow Shock

This order is important because of the order that the boss casts, this way you will get to use Unholy Ascension and survive to do Shadow Shock due to the immortal bonus of undead pets

-Val'kyr is now dead, switch to the Foxling:
1) Howl
2) Flurry

The howl bonus stacks with the Val'kyr's Unholy Ascension so your flurries hit like mack trucks and to top it all off, the Val'kyr's curse will go off while the double bonus is active. At this point after just 1 flurry I had the boss ~200hp left.

-Foxling is now dead, switch to the Custodian:
1) Lock-on
2) Lock-on

Remember, this pet is an undead, so its going to come back, you can either do repeated lock-on's until it dies or do a combo of lock-on, shock and awe and then zap until it finally stays dead.

Comment by Moophassa

As one of those pet-battlers who does not have the seemingly 'essential' pets like Pandaren Water Spirit, Chrominius and others to level 25 yet, I managed to handily beat Eleanor with 3 Frostfur Rats I caught nearby.

Each of the rats was set to 1-2-2

I used completely random breeds on each of the rats

Strategy: Start with Call Darkness to blind Eleanor, then cast Refuge on her charge-up. Take the first charged attack with your first rat, using Sneak Attack in between swapping rats to soak up hits. Reapply Call Darkness and Refuge as needed to ensure that you never take a Death Bleat

Comment by JumperBaltzer

I used the Pandaren Water Spirit / Chrominius combo as well, however I used the Anubisath Idol as the 1st, simply cast Sand Storm, followed by Deflection for that evil Charge attack, then swap to the Water Spirit / Chrominius combo, if they happen to die at the last moment (as happened to me a time or 3) the Idol is ready to finish off the fight.

Comment by Cloudwatcher

I find my usual legendary team of Darkmoon Zeppelin, Pandaren Water Spirit, and Chrominius have an easy time killing Eleanor... and most other single legendary pets.

Start with the Zep dropping a Decoy, switch to the Water Spirit and cast Geyser and Whirlpool, the switch to the Chrominius for Howl and then Surge of Power to finish things off. If you happen to have Eleanor still alive, which is unlikely, you can switch back to the Zep and have it blow itself up.

Comment by KittyKatBar

Took a few tries to figure out timing, but I won with this team:

Emperor Crab lvl 22 H/H breed.
Alpine Foxling lvl 25 S/S breed.
Some other pet that can take damage for the undead trait round. I used a lvl 25 bandicoon kit just because it could take the dmg.

Abilities:

Emperor Crab:
-Surge
-Whirlpool
-Surge

Foxling:
-Howl
-Flurry
-Flurry
-Flurry

The reason that the crab lived through the big attack at the beginning is because as long as Eleanor does not crit, it CAN survive the big hit with the large healthpool, coupled with the resistance to undead attacks. Then on the third round it will die, but this gives whirlpool enough time (one round remaining), that your foxling will be able to howl for the extra damage. No geyser needed :) She went down fast using this, and it took me one try with the team and strategy listed. If she crits the crab and kills it, then just surrender, rez with your battle pet master, and go again!

I imagine that the crab at lvl 25 might actually be able to survive a crit as well but I am unsure of how that would change the pacing of the match. He may survive long enough for two surges and THEN whirlpool - I do not know. I believe she crits with the big hit for at least 1900 though, in which case the crab would likely die.

Edit:

Why downvote? The strategy works. The pets are easy to obtain compared to some of the pets listed here, and you don't even need a full level 25 team.

Comment by cyrien

Easiest way to do this fight I have found is with Ikky (gotten in Spires of Arak) and a Rabbit that is faster than 310 speed.

Start with Ikky
Round 1: Black Claw
Round 2: Flock (then die)
Round 3: bring in Rabbit and Stampede
Round 4: Stampede cont. (should kill Eleanor and proc undead res)
Round 5: Stampede cont. and victory.

Sometimes on round 4 after Eleanor dies and comes back it will crit your rabbit. Simply have a 3rd pet that can survive 1 round for round 5 and you win.

Comment by Deyadre

I used the Pandarean Water Spirit and sacrificed it after it got off geyser. Then I used the Alpine Foxling and used Howl, Dazzling Dance and Flurry and switched to the Kun Lai Runt to whittle her down. The runt was killed off and then used the foxling to finish her. Worked like a charm

Comment by Bregdark

Today is the first time I've seen it repeat. Eleanor is back!

I took in:
Hare or any pet with Flurry/Dodge/Burrow
Foxling or any pet with Flurry/Howl/Dazzling Dance
Any leveling pet strong enough to survive 1 attack (or the plushie).

This strat is unfortunately not that great, since it requires getting lucky with 3 hits instead of 2 with Flurry more than once, and not getting any unlucky crits or big hits against you. It took me 4-5 attempts to get this to work.

Hare will start out going second.
Round 1 & 2: Burrow. Eleanor will do part 1 and 2 of her charge, hitting for 500 but missing with the big attack.
Round 3: Flurry. Eleanor will do some damage but not kill the pet, using up her second attack for 3 rounds.
Round 4: Switch to Fox. If you get crit by Eleanor on any attack after the switch, start over. Dazzling Dance. You'll get hit a second time, leaving you with 600ish health. Fox will now go first.
Round 5: Howl. You'll get hit a third time, leaving the fox with less than 100 health.
Round 6: Fox Flurry. If it doesn't hit 3 times, start over. Fox will die. Bring back the rabbit. Eleanor should be around half health now.
Round 7: Rabbit Flurry. If it doesn't hit 3 times, start over. Eleanor should be very low, and will hit the rabbit bringing it near death.
Round 8: Rabbit Flurry. If it doesn't hit 3 times, hopefully you'll survive her attack.
Round 8 or 9: Flurry to kill Eleanor the first time, then get killed when she comes back from death.
Round 9 or 10: Bring in your levelling pet, attack, and hopefully survive her 1 attack. She dies, you win, collect... A MEASLY 319 XP? Bah.

Here you have two types of fights and defeat this enemy, for my taste but I like the first, I hope helps.

First fight - - - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4eAUiKS_69k&feature=youtu.be

The second fight is what we use most to defeat

Comment by Korathes

Made this really easy

Lil' K.T. (anything with curse of doom works)
Core hound pup with howl , use scratch it till death
chrominius(for backup, didn't even have to use it)

Comment by 1067645

Howl-Bomb-Combi works defenitly easy here!
(Unborn Valkyr or Darkmoon ZeppelinPandaren Water Spirit & Chrominius)

Comment by Mnemiz

Managed to get it down with:

1 x Pandaren Water Spirit -> Used Geyser, died!
1 x Alpine Foxling -> Used Dazzling Dance since I didn't have a fast fox.
-followed with Howl and then Flurry undtil it died (here, I actually killed the Goat, but as it
is undead, you need a pet to survive the last round)
1 x Alpine Foxling -> But it could have been a low-lvl random pet since it didn't really take any
damage!
-in case you need the damage from a last pet, I'd say it is a good choise to bring a 2. fox here!

You CAN get really unlucky due to RNG, but this really worked for me.
Good luck ppl <3

Comment by Carionom

Killed Eleanor with only 2 pets
This strat is perfect if you want to get Draenic Pet Battler fast and leveling a pet at the same time

You only need Unborn Val'kyr and Alpine Foxling
Start with Unborn Val'kyr
cast Curse of Doom
cast Shadow Shock
you'll get one shot by Death Bleat, but revive thanks to undead pet racial
cast Unholy Ascension
now your val'kyr dies
switch to Alpine Foxling
cast Howl
finish him off with casting Flurry(strong)
repeat and profit

Edit: changed order after the pet-battle boss nerf.
It is possible to go with any pet that has the ability Curse of Doom if you don't have the val'kyr and any other fox is good aswell.
For example Lesser Voidcaller could be used with it's strong magic racial that it doesn't get one shot.
Just make sure you switch to your fox when Curse of Doom has not less than 2 rounds left, otherwise you can't let it have profit of Howl.
Other fox are:
Alpine Foxling Kit
Arctic Fox Kit
Fox Kit

It is also possible to do it with even 1 pet and level another at the same time, (any type of rabbit with flurry, dodge and burrow) but this takes abit longer.
If you do want to use the rabbit/hare tactic:
Cast Flurry
Cast Dodge
Cast Flurry
Cast Burrow
Burrow executes (2 round ability)
Cast Flurry
Cast Dodge
Cast Flurry
Cast Flurry
Cast Burrow
Burrow executes (2 round ability)
Special note: Don't cast this Burrow if it will kill Eleanor, cast Flurry twice instead and switch to your desired level-pet after this. This is necessary because Flurry has an high RNG-factor for the 2 or 3 attacks that it can give.
Ignore this note if you just want the kill.
Cast Flurry, your rabbit or hare dies after (cast Dodge if you want to solo it without leveling)

Comment by Shenliwu

Another combo that works nicely is:
1. Unborn Val'kyr (Unborn Val'kyr)
2. Fjord Worg Pup (Fjord Worg Pup).

Alternatively, you can try substituting your Worg pup for any other pet as long as it has these three abilities, though I haven't tested this. (e.g. Fox Whelp, Arctic Fox Whelp, Alpine Fox Whelp, Alpine Fox. The specs seem the same.)
1. Flurry Flurry
2. Howl Howl
3. Leap Leap

Execution:

Val'kyr
Round 1: Curse of Doom
Round 2: Shadow Shock (your pet should die at the beginning of this round)
Round 3: Unholy Ascension

Worg Pup
Round 4: Howl
Round 5: Leap (Curse of Doom explodes end of this round)
Round 6: Flurry (Killing blow)
Round 7: Eleanor will reincarnate and hit your pup, killing it, but then dying herself. Your one remaining pet makes you the victor.

Comment by Mabh

For those of you who, like myself, like to take a lowbie pet along for the extra xp, a few bits of advice:

This battle will give your rookie pet a VERY LOW amount of xp -- I tried with pets of different levels and they were all getting about 280xp per battle.
If the above is not enough to deter you, please read on, by all means.

Your team lineup should look something like:

Slot 1: Your levelling pet. 1
Slot 2: Pandaren Water Spirit with Whirlpool and Geyser
Slot 3: Chrominius with Howl and Surge of Power

1 Your rookie pet should have a skill like Survival, Burrow, Dive, etc.in order to survive Eleanor.'s Death Bleat on round 2. For the sake of this post, I'll assume you're using Burrow.

Now, you need to consider whether your rookie pet is faster than Eleanor.

If your rookie is faster:

Turn 1: Use any skill, or even pass. Eleanor charges up her Death Bleat.
Turn 2: Burrow. Eleanor unleashes Death Bleat, but it misses you.

If your rookie is slower:

Turn 1: Eleanor charges up her Death Bleat. You Burrow.
Turn 2: Eleanor unleashes Death Bleat. You survive.

And then just do the following and pray you're on the RNG gods' good side:

Turn 3: Swap to Pandaren Water Spirit
Turn 4: Whirlpool
Turn 5: Geyser
Turn 6: Swap to Chrominius
Turn 7: Howl
Turn 8: Surge of Power
Turn 9: Sit back and enjoy the finale.

Comment by Serenale

If you don't have some of the rarer pets we found this easy to assemble team.

Lvl 25 Fox Kit (Any fox with Dazzling Dance and Howl)
Lvl 25 Prairie Mouse (Any Critter with Flurry and Stampede)
Lvl 23 Yakrat (Any Critter with Flurry and Survival)

Fox Kit
R1 - Dazzling Dance
R2 - Howl
Fox will now die.

Prairie Mouse
R3 - Flurry
R4 - Flurry
R5 - Stampede
Critter will now die.

Yakrat
R6- Flurry
R7- If he has not died yet hit him with Flurry again. If he has died and res'ed use Survival.
Eleanor will now die.

Comment by seckid

reliable strategy (NO pet leveling)

This is a cut and paste howl bomb. Use a sacrificial pet in the first slot to get past the death bleat. Don't worry about doing any damage as Mrs. Goat will surely heal herself to full. From that point on bring in your water spirit and chrominius and howl bomb away.

Pets used:

Sacrificial Pet (will die)
Pandaren Water Spirit (1-Water jet, 2-Whirlpool, 2-Geyser)
Chrominius (2-Arcane Explosion, 1-Howl, 2-Surge of Power)

Eleanor:

Turn 1: Any one turn ability by sacrificial pet
Turn 2: Any one turn ability by sacrificial pet (bleat bomb goes off and pet dies)

Turn 3: Swap to Pandaren Water Spirit
Turn 4: Geyser
Turn 5: Whirlpool
Turn 6: Swap to Chrominius
Turn 7: Howl (water bombs hit, stunning Eleanor)
Turn 8: Surge of Power (kill Eleanor but she comes back to life only to die again)

Turn 9: /dance

Comment by 1422694

The trick seems to be surviving the second attack. I used Mr. Bigglesworth's Ice Barrier and followed up with ice barrier. I was able to keep Mr. Bigglesworth alive long enough that Eleanor could not regain all of her health when Mr. B. died. I then used a Summit Kid and Marsh Fiddler, but the Marsh Fiddler wasn't needed. Eleanor and The Kid passed at the same time.

Comment by foxheart

Mr. Bigglesworth (or any pet with an ability using the same mechanics as Ice Barrier)
Ice Barrier

Pandaren Water Spirit
Whirlpool
Geyser

Chrominius
Howl
Surge of Power

Open with Mr. Bigglesworth.
Round 1) Ice Barrier
Switch to Pandaren Water Spirit.
Round 2) Geyser
Round 3) Whirlpool
Switch to Chrominius.
Round 4) Howl
Round 5) Surge of Power

Comment by 230460

After a few frustrating tries, I finally figured out a good team for this fight.
Alpine Foxling Kit - Dazzle, Howl (dies)
Marsh Fiddler - Skitter, Swarm (dies)
Tolai Hare - Flurry, maybe flurry twice, Dodge, Stampede, Eleanor dies, flurry to finish her off.

Comment by 1312400

I wound up using: Unborn Val'kyr, Gilnean Raven, Chrominius

Curse of Doom
Shadow Strike while taking the Death Blast hit
Unholy Ascension on revival
Switch to Gilnean Raven
Nevermore, this should prevent Chomp for next 5 rounds
Call Darkness
Switch to Chrominius
Howl
Bite (1 or 2 times) until health is low enough for Surge of Power to finish off

Comment by Brunhill

For me, not having an Unborn Val'kry, was a bit of a problem so I did some comparison shopping for same or similar abilities on Battle Pet Guide here on Wowhead and found that the Lost of Lordaeron had both the Curse of Doom and Shadow Slash spells that the Unborn has, plus being undead, revives after being killed. Just the spells i needed to survive Eleanor's Deadly Bleat which kills you instantly!
All three pets are blue rares, Lost Lordaeron and Arcane Eye are level 25 while the Arctic Fox is 23. I'm sure if the Fox was 25, I wouldn't need the third pet at all.

So, my team was: Lost Lordaeron: Curse of Doom, Shadow Slash
Arctic Fox Kit for Dazzling Dance, Howl, and Flurry.
If needed, I had Arcane Eye as my third pet for Mana Surge.

If you dont have Arctic Fox Kit, a Fjord Worg Pup or Alpine Fox will have the same spells.

Besides the Battle Pet Guide found here on Wowhead, another site I found very helpful is http://www.warcraftpets.com/ Use the search box to look for pets that have the particular spell you are looking for, such as Dazzling Dance. You may pleasantly surprised to find that you may already have pet that has the spell you are looking for in your arsenal!

Happy pet battles,
Chow

Comment by elazul123

Defeated Eleanor with my 3 pets :
1. Mud jumper H/B
2. Kun lai runt P/S
3. Grassland Hopper B/B

Too lazy to find another pandaren water spirit (sold mine on AH) and level a rabbit, just for a daily quest, so I am trying some different comps, and found that this comp works best :

Attack cycle :
1. Bubble
2. Swarm of flies
3. Swap to Grassland hopper
4. Swarm until hopper dead
5. Swap to kun lai runt
6. Frost shock
7. Deep Freeze
8. Takedown
9. Swap to Mud Jumper
11. Swarm of flies
12. Bubble
13. Tongue Lash
14. Swap to Kun lai runt
15. Frost shock
16. Deep freeze
17. Take Down
18. Kun lai runt dead
19. Swap to mud jumper then tongue lash and swarf of flies until Eleanor is finished

If Eleanor did a critical it might affect this rotation
If you have a faster pet than mine, it would be much easier, none of those of my pet are faster than eleanor

Comment by bybe

Win in only four abilities!
Seems to be many people using complex methods that in my opinion takes far to long. It's possible to beat Eleanor with only 4 moves using 2 pets plus a carry pet.

Combo:

Sunreaver Micro-Sentry Call Lighting, Fel Immolate
Zandalari Kneebiter or Zandalari Anklerender Hunting Party, Black Claw
Carry pet (any pet over 550hp) A enermy crit may make you lose. (only 400xp per win)

How to win:

Sunreaver Micro-Sentry Call Lighting then Fel Immolate. Pet Dies Twice
Zandalari Kneebiter or Zandalari Anklerender Black Claw, Hunting Party. Pet Dies (so should Eleanor *not always but most times*)
Carry pet (any pet over 550hp) A enermy crit may make you lose. (only 400xp per win)

Comment by Starlett

Very quick way of beating this boss is:

Unborn Val'kyr - Pass, Unholy Ascension then Curse of Doom. Next pet:
Pandaren Water Spirit - Geyser then Whirlpool. Switch to next:
Chrominius - Howl then Surge of Power to finish

Speedy victory :)

Comment by darknec

Just used standard pet bomb team and tactic:

Unborn Val'kyr
Pandaren Water Spirit
Chrominius

Turn 1 - Shadow Shock, as Eleanor charges Death Bleat
Turn 2 - Unholy Ascension
Turn 3 - Curse of Doom
Unborn Val'kyr Dies

Choose Pandaren Water Spirit;

Turn 4 - Geyser
Turn 5 - Whirlpool

Switch to Chrominius;

Turn 6 - Howl (Should be dead by now as it will be hit by all 3 skills at once.)

Worked everytime :)

Comment by Doublution

What I did:

Mud Jumper
Zandalari Kneebiter
Scorpid

Mud Jumper comes in first
1. Bubble
2. Mudslide
Water Jet until Jumper dies

Kneebiter in next
1. Black Claw
2. Hunting Party
3. Bloodfang
This kills the guy, but he revives.
4. Hunting Party
My Kneebiter died here, but Eleanor died afterwards and I still had the Scorpid.

Comment by firewolf7789

I had previously had a lot of trouble with this one, even after trying some of the strategies in the comments here (unfortunately I don't have a lot of the pets required).

Finally did it tonight, so thought I'd share (All pets are of rare quality):
1. Frostfur Rat (Crouch, Stampede, pet will die)
2. Summit Kid (Comeback X2, Stampede)
3. Disgusting Oozeling (Expunge, Creeping Ooze then use Absorb until Eleanor is dead)

Tried this a couple of times, even got lucky and got two crits on the Comeback and didn't even need to use the Oozeling :)

Comment by 1235369

Eleanor is undead, and only has one really powerful move. It is a simple defeat with some rather easily attainable pet.

You need:

A rabbit (I think they all have Dodge and Stampede) preferably with speed > 310
A squirrel with Nut Barrage

My team was Grasslands Cottontail S/S and Alpine Chipmunk H/P, I didn't end up needing my third pet.

Now the fight:
If your rabbit has a speed of 310 or less, open with Dodge, otherwise use Scratch then Dodge. This will block Death Bleat, and Eleanor will be dead before it can use this again.
Now Stampede. After this, gauge the fight. If your rabbit is not going to die on the next turn (and take your speed into consideration here), use Scratch to take advantage of the 100% damage increase. Otherwise, just use Stampede again, and your rabbit will die during the second one.

Bring in the squirrel. Eleanor will have at least one more round of the Stampede debuff (if not, you've done something wrong). Use Nut Barrage for an outlandishly large amount of ticking damage that will not be reduced by the second half of the Boss buff. If this doesn't kill Eleanor outright, use Scratch and Nut Barrage until you win, which won't take long.

I don't know how much experience this fight gives, but I'm sure you can incorporate a leveling pet in the teens at the very end by swapping it in on Eleanor's undead passive turn.

Comment by tigerczew

Thank you Phayze71 for helping me get my team together.

The team I ended up going with was:

Lesser Voidcaller
Pandaren Water Spirit
Chrominius

Start with the voidcaller.

1. Prismatic Barrier (this will block 2 damaging moves)
2. Summon Water spirit
3. Geyser (Don't worry your barrier wont block this move since it doesn't do damage yet)
4. Whirlpool
5. Summon Chorminius
6. Howl
7. Surge of Power
8. Win.

I didn't have a single pet die.

My friend will be so jelly when he finds out I beat this guy. He's gave up even doing this pet battle because he can't win.

Comment by 1201799

Easily to beat w these three pets: Creepy Crate, Stunted Shardhorn, Tranquil Mech Yeti

Creepy Crate: curse of doom, then agony
Stunted Shardhorn: Stampede
Tranquil Mechanical Yeti: Call Lightning, Ion Cannon

Comment by CdoggMage

Easiest Combo - if you did pets in Mists use the Born Howl Bomb combo - never had a single solo pet boss it cant beat

Unborn Val'kyr
Pandaren Water Spirit
Chrominius

Comment by Painor

I used Anubisath Idol with Crush and Deflection
Pandarean Water Spirit with Whirlpool and Geyser and
Chrominius with Howl and Surge of Power

Round 1: Anubisath idol - Crush
Round 2: Anubisath idol - Deflection
Round 3: Anubisath idol - Crash
Round 4: Pandarean Water spirit - Geyser
Round 5: Pandarean Water spirit - Whirlpool
Round 6: Chrominius - Howl
Round 7: Chrominius - Surge of Power

Eleanor dead :)

Comment by Nakthar

Since not everybody has the Iron Starlette which works awesome on Eleanor.

This is my version of how i defeated Eleanor.
Note that if you don't have these pets, there are other good strategies working just fine also this may have been posted before :)

Darkmoon Zeppelin having decoy.
Pandaren Water Spirit having Geyser and Whirlpool.
Chrominius having howl and surge of power.

Have darkmoon zeppelin cast Decoy, Then switch to Pandaren water spirit and cast geyser followed up by whirlpool.

Switch to Chrominius and cast howl, when geyser and whirlpool goes off, Eleanor will be stunned and you can just finish it with a surge of power.

Note that she ofcourse will ressurect but no fear, she dies in the next round and it's a win for you.
If everything goes correct, none of your pets will die and should you get an unlucky crit (which could happen at any time in the battle) just retry.

i hope this helps for you too just like it did with me.

Comment by Grimnarl

This is the combo that worked for me:

SS Alpine Hare.
Scratch
Dodge
Stampede.

Switch to:

SS Squirrel.
Nut Barrage.

Switch to:

PB Alpine Foxling.
Howl
Flurry.

The Fox has to get at least TWO Flurry's in. If it can, Eleanor will die from that combo and the continuing Nut Barrage. The Foxling will die, then Eleanor will die, then rez, then usually die for good before you need to bring another pet back, or soon after. Has worked several times today testing with my 100 Horde and 100 Ally toons.

All these pets were greens that I used battlestones on to make them Rares. All are lv 25's.

Comment by Rakkasan

What a BS pet. I came back to the game after a few years away and initially was intrigued by the Battle Pet concept but it's turning out to be a massive RNG with little to no strategy - just grinding very specific pets for very specific battles. I have about 80 Level 25 rares (not much I know) but there's absolutely no way I can defeat this one. Looks like another not so subtle time sink invented by Blizz in place of real content.

Comment by 913880

Only 218 xp for a lvl 24 pet, with safari hat on.

Comment by Kvasi

Crawling Claw
Chrominius

Curse of Doom, whatever til death, Howl, Bite, Surge of Power

Comment by insaineelf

Just to Main stream many of these teams instead of exact pets is the following.

any pet will "call lightning" to change weather to "lightning" (suggest Sunreaver micro-sentry the fel Immolate is nice for its dot effect)

any other 2 pets that have stamped or Hunters party & a debuff such as Black Claw that increases damage for instance Zandalari anklebiter & Zandalari Kneebiter.

With

Sunreaver micro-sentry
Zandalari anklebiter
Zandalari Kneebiter

Start with Sunreaver micro-sentry and cast Call Lightning followed by Fel immolate and another Fel immolate (the second cast wont get off but you will die ensureing your second pet takes no damage from switching pets)

pull put either Zandalari and cast Black Claw followed by hunters party

and that's all.

Depending if Eleanor Crits your Zandalari or other stamped pet, you should not even use a third pet but if need be pull out another pet with stamped and simply use stamped again and she will easily die.

Comment by 1061544

None of the methods above worked for me, so I asked my husband Zagam what to do. It worked on the FIRST TRY.

Unborn Val'kyr:
Doom --> Shadow Shock until you die --> Unholy Ascension on your "dead" move.

Pandaren Water Spirit:
Geyser --> Whirlpool --> switch to Chrominius.

Chrominius:
Howl then Surge of Power. Eleanor will die even if Chrominius dies.

This is obviously the bomb method, but the Unborn Val'kyr in the first round REALLY helped me. I have killed it on all 7 of my level 100s on the first try.

Comment by 1216519

Okay, I found a easy way to beat this without hard to get or expensive pets.

Fjord Worg Pup
Flurry, Crouch, Dazzling Dance
Zandalari Kneebiter
Hunting Party, Black Claw, Bloodfang
Fluxfire Feline
Supercharge, Pouce

1. Crouch
2. Dazzling Dance
3. Flurry
4. Flurry (Will die at this point)
5. Black Claw
6. Hunting Party
7. Hunting Party (Should die here, if not, use Bloodfang)
8. Pounce (This will kill Eleanor)
9. Do whatever, I chose Supercharge

This has been working without fail for me. Sometimes I manage to kill on my 2nd pet, it will depend a little on how lucky you are with crits.

Comment by dekoba

Sunreaver Micro Sentry + Zandalari Anklerender + 1 kill

video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QCLV8zYWTk

Comment by Aristacah

I have tested this over and over and it works every time.

1. Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling OR Darkmoon Zepplin or any pet with Decoy. (MPD)
2. Zandalari Footslasher (ZFS)
3. Elfin Rabbit with speed of 310+ MUST have 310+ speed (ER)

MPD:
Decoy to take the death bleat
switch to ZFS
Exposed wounds and hunting party till death
switch to ER
Stampede till Eleanor dies the first time. If rabbit does, switch back to MPD and cast one Decoy and Eleanor will die for the second time.

Garrison Eleanor Menagerie daily Pet Battle

Video: Defeat Eleanor in your menagerie

, it is a fight against a single opponent. Therefore, you get for your levelpet very few ep (around 400). So it makes no sense to play with 2 pets.

My choosen team:

Sunreaver Micro-Sentry - Fel Immolate, "whatever" and Call Lightning
Zandalari Kneebiter - Hunting Party, Black Claw and "whatever"
Chrominius - Bite, Howl and Surge of Power

I start with Sunreaver Micro-Sentry

1. Call Lightning
2. Fel Immolate
And a third attack, I can not do. switch to Zandalari Kneebiter.
3. Black Claw
4. Hunting Party
The bites into the grass and have to do the rest.
5. Surge of Power
(I clicked Bite in the video. should not be.)

Comment by goaskmalice

my eleanor method is very basic, using pets anyone can get. i started using this methodology when my pets were between level 21-25. if eleanor gets too many crits in on you, there's not much you can do except try again, but this method works nearly every time for me, so im posting it in hopes that it might help someone else! :)

My Team
Slot 1 - Elfin Rabbit (or any other rabbit with speed as its first stat) - 2/2/2
Slot 2 - Alpine Foxling (or any other fox with speed as its first stat) - 1/2/2
Slot 3 - i keep Tolai Hare or Chrominius here as a backup. i've found keeping a 2nd rabbit in this slot is best. 2/2/2 for the hare or 1/1/1 for chrominius. it's not really worth it to use a leveling pet because you don't get much XP, but if you do want to use a leveling pet, i recommend putting the leveling pet in slot 1 and making sure it has a Dodge ability for the second turn and enough HP to survive through two turns!

bunny opens with Flurry
cast Dodge for the 2nd round.
eleanor will do her crazy damage ability Death Bleat, but you'll survive it because you dodged, and it has an 8 round cooldown so you shouldn't encounter it again thankfully.
bunny casts Stampede which gives eleanor the Shattered Defenses debuff.
if bunny is still alive after Stampede, throw out a Flurry or two til bunny dies. i have had several runs where this was all it took and the bunny solo'd her, or where i only had to bring out pet #2 to deal with eleanor after she rezzes
if bunny dies before you win, bring out your fox. throw a Howl on her, and then use the fox's Bite or Flurry (either seems to work fine for me, i favor bite, but either will work.)

overall the key to this fight is being able to dodge Death Bleat, which she will always cast in round 2, and making sure that you're keeping Shattered Defenses up on eleanor so she takes more damage, and using pets that are faster than she is (or alternatively, bringing your fox out to cast Dazzling Dance if you have slower bunnies/rats/etc.

i know this method is similar to ones already posted here, but i figure the more the merrier, especially for those of us who don't have the "standard" pet battle pets like the unborn valk or water spirit. i hope this comment at least helps someone! good luck. :)

Crawling Claw
Mr. Bigglesworth
Chrominius
Curse of Doom, Ice Tomb, Howl, Bite, Surge of Power

Comment by Daarg

Although I tried the top 2 pet combos, and they're okay, I chose to try something different and easy 2 pet takedown.

Anubisath Idol 111
Chrominius 112

I added third just in case, but was not used -
Pandaren Water Spirit 122

Open with Idol, Sandstorm, followed by Deflection to take 2nd round hit.Swap to Chrominius, use Howl, then Surge of Power

If Chrominius dies before you can use Bite to finish off Eleanor, swap to Idol and finish it off with another Sandstorm

I only have used this combo twice now and worked like a charm with just 2 pets and no risk

Comment by Completegibberis

Anoobisath can nearly solo the pet

I added bling, because I love bling, and a level pet
I seriously think any pro-dead pet would work for 2nd pet

Sandstorm,Deflect,crush, swap
Other pet, attack,attack, swap Anoobisath
Sandstorm, Deflect, Swap leveling pet
Swap out leveling pet if too low, bring in whatever, kill, kill

The EXP was crap though, 368 for the pet I was leveling

Comment by SevereArtisan

This pet had the Boss buff removed but had its health increased as of Patch 6.1.

With the removal of this buff, a single Level 25 Rare-quality Rabbit (Like Snowshoe Rabbit) can reliably bring down Eleanor to 20% or below (And fully solo if you're lucky).

My rotation is as follows:

Turn 1: Flurry
Turn 2: Dodge
Turn 3: Stampede
Turn 4: Stampede (cont.)
Turn 5: Stampede (cont.)
Turn 6 & 7: Flurry
Turn 8: Dodge

Then Flurry until one of them is dead, bringing in another pet if needed to finish Eleanor off.

Comment by gothicangel8

This comment is targeted at new pet battlers that think they can't beat Eleanor with their current pet collection. You can easily complete this daily with common pets that you catch out in the world without having to use a battle stone or leveling them up. It will require that you are able to capture level 23-25 pets and travel to Nagrand (WoD) and/or Kun-Lai Summit. I recommend at least common quality though, since I have not tested this with poor pets.

The pets you are looking for are (they should be at least common quality):

Mud Jumper - A frog easily found in Nagrand. You can also use a Swamp Croaker from Isle of Thunder.
Tolai Hare or Tolai Hare Pup (you need 2) - Found in packs in the mountains of Kun-Lai Summit. You could probably substitute any rabbit here as long as they are faster than Eleanor (219).

I had success using the following team:
Mud Jumper (H/B), 23, Uncommon - Tongue Lash, Swarm of Flies, Bubble
Tolai Hare Pup (H/S), 22, Common - Flurry, Dodge, Burrow
Tolai Hare Pup (S/B), 22, Common - Flurry, Dodge, Burrow

You can do this battle a couple of different ways. The key to winning this fight is to avoid the Death Blast. It has an eight round cooldown, so it's easy to avoid. Most of the times I did this, I was able to complete the battle using only two pets.

1. You can start with Mud Jumper. It will go something like this:

R1 - Swarm of Flies, Eleanor will charge.
R2 - Bubble, You block Death Blast
R3 and on - Use Tongue Lash as a filler and Swarm of Flies when it wears off. Depending on your pet quality and RNG, you may kill her with only the frog, or you may need the rabbit. Just save bubble for death blast if it comes up again. If you need to use a rabbit, you can refer to my second strategy for those steps.

2. You can use two Tolai Hares (or pups). That fight will go something like this:

R1 - Flurry, Eleanor will charge.
R2 - Dodge, You dodge Death Blast.
R3 - Flurry
R4 - Burrow
R5 and on - Use Burrow and Dodge on cooldown and fill with Flurry. Keep an eye on the Death Blast cooldown so you can save an avoidance ability for that round. Using these abilities you can virtually avoid Rot as well. You will probably need to use two rabbits here, so don't be dismayed if your first one dies.

So anyway, there it is. Hopefully this helps new pet battlers out there. Your results may vary depending on what breed and level your pets are. If this strat doesn't work for you, please post a reply so I can figure out how to make it better. Good Luck! :)

Comment by bek1

She seems extremely tough at first, but once you get a good combination of pets, this is an easy fight.

I used Unborn Val'kyr first. Make sure to cast curse of doom before it dies.

I used Zandalari Kneebiter as my second pet. This is a strong pet that killed her before the end of the round.

I was prepared to use Onyxian Whelpling for my last pet, with the plan being to fly when she used her deadly charge (in order to evade it), but I never got far enough to test the plan.

Comment by ArtelQuessir

I managed to solo this with a level 25 Teroclaw Hatchling; using Alpha Strike, Dodge and Nature's Ward.

Your Teroclaw Hatching is faster than Eleanor, and since it goes first, the Dodge dodges Eleanor's attack that round and the round after. Meanwhile, Nature's Ward continues healing.

Comment by Azaram

Soloed with a level 23 mud jumper, 2/2/1. Had an anubisath idol as backup, but didn't need him.

Swarm of flies, bubble, tongue lash until swarm was about done, refreshed it, tongue lash. Eleanor went down but undeaded back up; the frog was down to 50ish hp, so I swapped in the idol who took one weak hit, and Eleanor went down again.

Comment by 971408

Lil' Bad Wolfcan solo now.

1. claw
2. dodge
3. howl
4. claw until dodge is up then repeat.

Comment by Ellywocket

Read thru some of the threads here, and since I didn't have any level 25s of the suggested sacrificial starter pets (pet to be sacrificed plus Pandaren Water Spirit plus Chrominius), I tried a combination of the Tolai Hare's initial attack from the three hares thread, followed by the Pandaren Water Spirit and Chrominius.

But strictly speaking, never got as far as Chrominius. After the hare died, I switched to the Water Spirit and cast Geyser, and that was it for poor Eleanor.

Comment by skaftafell

SUPER EASY!
So, I got creamed with pets that are "strong" against undead (prairie mouse, chipmunks, etc). Then I tried:

Gold Beetle(easy to tame and already level 23)
Luyu Moth(easy to tame and already level 23)
Chrominius (didn't even use)

1st Pet: Gold Beetle - opened with Swarm, then got 1-shot
2nd Pet: Luyu Moth: - opened with Moth Dust, that put Eleanor to sleep, then I used Cocoon Strike. I basically used those 2 on cooldown, with Alpha Strike in between. Eleanor melted, and I never had to use Chrominius at all.

Please upvote this, because this doesn't require any special pets or super rare and hard-to-get pets, like many of the other posts here say.

Comment by sabrocker

After a couple of failed attempts, I found a fairly successful team:

-25 Blue Alpine Rabbit, although any rabbit would do
-25 Blue Oily Slimeling
-Any other pet, I didn't need the third.

I started with Scratch, Burrow (to avoid the one shot kill), Scratch until the Rabbit dies.
Oily Slimeling - Corrosion, Expunge, Ooze Touch until death.

Comment by pakteri

Soloed this with Kun-Lai Runt. It was so easy with 2-2-2.

Comment by Wolfje63

Very easy to do: use 3 frogs (any kind), then use Frog Kiss all the time :).

Comment by omentoo

I used my Kun-Lai Runt. Froze her, stunned her. Pummelled her. Pummelled her until she killed me, used whatever else was in my hand to finish her off. It's a good way to level your other pets.

Comment by pelaaja0

Easily soloable by pure speed (s/s) variety Lil' Bad Wolf.
Start whit Pounce, use Dodge at second turn, and then simply keep using dodge whenever its off cooldown to avoid all the undead attacks.

Comment by atryl

3xBandicoon, and spam Tongue Lash. The 3rd one shouldn't even come to the fight.

Comment by 1450342

Eleanor can be solo'd with a Mud Jumper or a Tolai Hare Pup. Both pets are easily obtainable....

Mud Jumper:

Swarm of Flies
Bubble
Tongue Lash
Reapply Swarm of Flies if needed (Even if your frog dies SOF should finish her off)

Tolai Hare Pup (Speed Breed)

Flurry
Dodge
Stampede
Flurry 'til Dodge comes off CD
Dodge
Stampede

Eleanor is also very easily defeated using a two pet strat of any combination of frog or rabbit pets. Two snails or Rapana Whelk with the abilities Absorb, Acidic Goo and Dive will also easily defeat Eleanor. However, snails are slower than Eleanor, so start your battle with dive instead of a damage ability.

Comment by 1402514

I always wind up improvising most of these fights because I am new to the pet battle scene so I wanted to share my fairly mundane team used to beat Eleanor.

Frostfur Rat
Red-Tailed Chipmunk
Rat => though I never need it

Start with Frostfur Rat
1) Crouch to survive Death Bleat.
2) Call Darkness to reduce Eleanor's healing
3) Sneak Attack until you die

Red-Tailed Chipmunk
1) Crouch to reduce damage
2) Stampede - sometimes finishes him off
3) Scratch to finish

3rd pet as necessary.

Comment by 781755

Darkmoon Zeppelin (or anything that has decoy), Chrominius, Pandaren Water Spirit.

Start with decoy. Swap to Pandaren Water Spirit. Use Geyser, then Whirlpool. Switch to Chrominius. Use Howl and then Surge of Power and you should be done.

Comment by eclectic778

Sun Reaver Micro Sentry
Unborn Val'kyr
Rapana Whelk

Round 1 Call lighting
Round 2 Haywire (sentry dies)
Round 3 Hit her again and die for good
Round 4 Curse of doom
Round 5 Shadow slash if you have enough health -or- haunt if you think you may die
Round 6 Haunt or Whelk acidic goo
Round 7 Dive and wait for the goat to die from dots
Round 8 Profit

Comment by Deien

Kudos to Cloudwatcher! I'm trying to add a reply to his post below, but it won't let me. Back in December he wrote:

By Cloudwatcher (1,596 – 7·29) on 2014/12/13 (Patch 6.0.3)
I find my usual legendary team of Darkmoon Zeppelin, Pandaren Water Spirit, and Chrominius have an easy time killing Eleanor... and most other single legendary pets.
Start with the Zep dropping a Decoy, switch to the Water Spirit and cast Geyser and Whirlpool, then switch to the Chrominius for Howl and then Surge of Power to finish things off. If you happen to have Eleanor still alive, which is unlikely, you can switch back to the Zep and have it blow itself up.

I just wanted to REPLY that this is most definitely the best and easiest strat for this fight. Only addition I made was to set Chrominius's first ability to Bite. After Surge of Power kills Eleanor and she does her Undead Rez after her first death, one Bite puts her down permanently. I have used the Water-Spirit-Chrominius super power combo many times - I LOVE the addition of the Decoy. Totally minimizes the damage the Water Spirit takes!

THANKS, Cloudwatcher!

Comment by SligSentinels

*6.1 Nerf* 2 pet - 7 round strat

Note: This can be soloed with an S/S Rabbit, or any S/S pet really with a dodge/block. However it takes 12-14 rounds. As I have to run these on 8 characters a day, I am always looking for the fastest way to win. This is what I have found to be the fastest, so far:

Pets to use:

Unborn Val'kyr: Shadow Shock > Curse of Doom > Unholy Ascension
Stiched Pup: Howl > Flurry

Round 1: Curse of Doom
Round 2: Shadow Shock
Round 3: Unholy Ascension
Round 4: Howl
Round 5: Flurry
Round 6: Flurry
Round 7: Flurry

P.S. Even though the Fox family of pets also has Howl and Flurry, they can not guarantee a 100% chance win like Stitched Pup can (due to undead rez).

Comment by Kiyosue

2 pet system I used with pets most semi-serious battlers (should) have.

P/P Rare Level 25 Iron Starlette (1/1/1), H/H Rare Level 25 Unborn Val'kyr (1/2/1).

1. Start with Iron Star, Wind-Up.
2. Supercharge, likely get killed.
3. Rez and finsh Wind-up, get killed again.
4. Send in Val'kyr, Curse of Doom.
5. Shadow Slash until win. Likely will die and rez to finish it off.

Comment by lynnsie

Defeated using:

Death Talon Whelpguard (just something to take the first hit though really)
Chrominius
Mac Frog

Mac Frog and Chromius did all the work. It wasn't a difficult fight.

Comment by Crushbug

Since I don't have any of the rarer battle pets, I have been able to win at this fight with the following pets:

Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling - (Flyby / Bombing Run / Decoy)
Core Hound Pup - (Scratch / Howl / Burrow)
Any 3rd pet

Start with Bombing Run and then Decoy to block her killer charge. From here, you can use 2 Flyby attacks, another Bombing Run, then 2 more Flyby attacks. You might die and resurrect here, and be tempted to launch another Bombing Run, but the timing works out well if you switch to your Core Hound Pup now.

Use Howl then Burrow to avoid her killer charge. This will leaver her almost dead, so 2 more Scratch attacks should finish her off, including her resurrection.

Your 3rd pet should only be needed if you have bad luck, but Eleanor should be mostly dead at this point.

Hope this helps.

Comment by Hollicow

I used the "Howl Bomb" strat that I have found previously in the comments for single big opponents.

Unborn Valkyrie - Curse of Doom, Unholy Ascention. (die)
Pandaren Water Spirit - Geyser, Whirlpool. (swap)
Chrominius - Howl, Surge of power.

Basically all of the big hits go off after Howl is applied, with the 25% boost from Unholy Ascention the pet is nuked down in one round.

In this case, as Eleanor is undead, she rezzed for one round while Chrominius was recovering, but her attack did not kill him. Had she killed him (with a lucky crit) my water spirit was still alive and would have won the day.

Comment by Pidian

The pets:

Iron Starlette (P/P 1/1/1)
Chrominius (H/H 1/1/2)

The fight:

Comment by 1275705

Simple non elite pet method:

Rapana Whelk
Deaths Head Cockroach
Deepholm Cockroach

Start with Dive on the Whelk. After the charge misses just poison with Acidic Goo and spam Ooze Touch until Whelk dies.

Cockroaches -- simply spam Swarm.

If unlucky you might get to second Roach but usually can win before the second charge from this viscous goat.

Comment by Mymyra

I just tried to battle Eleanor for the first time and I won on just two pets. I used Rascal-Bot and started with Plot Twist then Amber Prism. Spammed Plot Twist then Armageddon when its health was low. Next I brought out Gahz'rooki and hit it with Geyser followed up with Tail Slap. On the third round my battle pet died however the Geyser finished Eleanor off.

Comment by 1361074

Frogs.

As of 6.1.2 this is a cakewalk.

I used Jungle Darter.

First frog needs Cleansing Rain and the rest of them can have Healing Wave.

First open with Cleansing Rain and then keep up Swarm of Flies. In between use Tongue Lash. You probably won't solo with your first frog, so right before your first frog dies, hit Cleansing Rain again.

Then on your second frog, remember to keep up Swarm of Flies and use Tongue Lash, and use Healing Wave every time it comes off cooldown.

You probably won't solo, but you also probably won't need to use all three. If you want to try to solo then you can use Healing Wave on your first one. It doesn't really matter as of 6.1 because this one is simple and Serr'ah gives unlimited heals between battles.

Quick Two Pet strategy with Carry Pet

25 Rare Zandalari Toenibbler (Flank, Leap, Black Claw)
25 Rare Mr Grubbs (Chomp, Acidic Goo, Burrow)
Carry Pet (at least 500 health)

Open with Zandalari. Use Black Claw followed by Flank. Zandalari dies. Enter Mr Grubbs. Acidic Goo, Chomp until Eleanor dies . Swap to Carry Pet. Eleanor dies.

6 rounds. Level 20 carry pet earns 224 XP. Even though the XP is low, there is really no reason not to use the carry pet. After all its free XP. Especially, if you use this battle to get the Draenic Pet Battler achievement.

All XP listed below is unbuffed.

Level 19 carry pet earns 308 XP
Level 18 carry pet earns 324 XP
Level 17 carry pet earns 338 XP
Level 16 carry pet earns 350 XP
Level 15 carry pet earns 360 XP
Level 12 carry pet earns 378 XP
Level 10-11 carry pet earns 380 XP
Level 9 carry pet earns 378 XP
Level 8 carry pet earns 374 XP
Level 7 carry pet earns 368 XP ( > 0.6 level)
Level 6 carry pet earns 360 XP (1 level)
Level 5 carry pet earns 350 XP (1 level)
Level 4 carry pet earns 338 XP (1 level)
Level 1 carry pet earns 290 XP (3 levels)

Not sure why the down votes. This strategy is still very quick and effective with or without carry.

Still works level 13 Crow gained 374 XP (not 20). Try the strat before making erroneous comments.
Level 8 still gains 374 XP (unbuffed and nerfed).

Comment by Ellywocket

This works every time for me:

Alpine Hare (or any hare with Dodge/Stampede) 1-2-2
Pandaren Water Spirit 2-2-2
Chrominius 1-1-2

Hare opens with Dodge, then Stampede, and dodges Eleanor's second round blammo, then refresh Dodge or Stampede until Hare dies. By this time Eleanor has lost quite a bit of health also.

Switch to Pandaren Water Spirit and cast Whirlpool then Geyser.

Switch to Chrominius and cast Howl, then Surge of Power. Eleanor will be dead before any other moves on my part are required.

Comment by Enoctia

I changed things up a bit as I didn't either have the battle pets or the level needed so I put together a team of a couple of rare level 23 Cockroaches and my rare level 25 Mini Mindslayer. It went like this... used 'Swarm' until Eleanor charged and killed my first cockroach. Second cockroach up and I used 'Swarm' until Eleanor died and came back with '1' health and my second cockroach died and used 'Interrupting Gaze' from my Mini Mindslayer and VOILA Eleanor died!

Comment by Eido

This battle pet NPC exists for the daily quest, Mastering the Menagerie, at any Menagerie Level 3:

This NPC is an Undead, solo, legendary, Boss pet. Speed: 219
Her ability order:
1. Death Bleat (charging)
2. Death Bleat
3. Rot
4. Chomp (until her CDs pop)
  Remember, she is Undead so prepare for the immortal round.
Tips for choosing a pet:
1. Aquatic species (less damage from Undead attacks)
2. Blocking ability (to prevent damage from her Death Bleat)
3. Critter damage (strong against Undead)
4. Speed higher than 219 (so your pet can go first)
Draenor recommended pet: Mud Jumper x 1

Comment by Bloodlus

Easy fight if you do it this way https://youtu.be/vWzSXloWgrs

Comment by TheFallen

I've found a way to one-pet this fight with Swamp Croaker. Have 222, and use Swarm of flies first. Then, when Eleanor charges up, use Bubble. Then just Tongue Lash them to death. Has worked everytime, one-pet.

Comment by danicadb1

Elfin rabbit with 325 speed is all you need here for Eleanor, flurry, dodge, burrow in that order :)

Comment by Mega84

Ok. I personally found this easy with 2 pets.... A Molten Corgi and a squirrel.

Firstly, have your Molten Corgi come out and use "Puppies of the Flame".
Then burn him with Flamethrower.
Cauterize.
Spam Flamethrower until Cauterize CD is up again. Then Cauterize.
Use Puppies one more time before (this should take his 2nd charge), Cauterize Then Flamethrower. He will knock your pet out.

This should bring him down to 25%.

Then bring out your squirrel.

Stampede.

Done. :-)

Comment by Hollthulhu

EASY 2-PET STRATEGY (with ordinary pets)

Team:
Leveling Pet (can be lvl 1)
Any Frog or Toad, other than Gulp Froglet, Mud Jumper, Swamp Croaker (2/2/2)
Any Fox or Worg Pup, Fjord Worg Pup (2/2/2)

Round 1: Bravely face against Death Bleat, but we don't care, it won't hit us this round. Hit them with whatever move you want (so long as it doesn't require you to stay next round).
Round 2: Swap in your Frog. It's gonna take a hard hit from Death Bleat, but should still be alive. Use your Cleansing Rain (or the other heal if you want).
Round 3: Eleanor hits your Frog with Rot, ew. Send a Swarm of Flies their way!
Round 4: Your Frog has met a terrible fate. Bring in your Fox to show this ghost goat who is boss!
Round 5: Make a big mean Howl at Eleanor to show them you aren't scared! Eleanor will Chomp at you, and we will laugh it off.
Round 6 to the End: Flurry spam that undead goat back to their grave! A winner is you!

If this guide helped you, please UPVOTE! :)

Comment by 663459

Tol'vir Scarab - Scratch, Survival, Apocalypse
Marsh Fiddler - Skitter, Swarm, Nature's Touch
Grassland Hopper - Skitter, Swarm, Nature's Touch

This depends on the Tol'vir Scarab having faster speed. Eleanor may die before third pet comes out.

Round 1: Scratch. Eleanor shows "Charging" but won't hit you.
Round 2: Survival. Eleanor charges and takes health down to 1.
Round 3: Scratch. Scarab dies after this round.
Round 4 - 6: Swarm (three round ability). Eleanor takes double damage for 2 rounds after being hit.
Round 7 - 8: Skitter. She'll probably die and resurrect for a round with 1 health. Fiddler may die.
Round 9: Skitter again to finish her off.

Comment by Hunterificious

I started with three pets, but ended up only needing one- the Frostfur Rat.

Start with Refuge, then Stampede, then Flurry, and Stampede again, and BAM she was dead.

AMAZING pet against Undead!

Comment by danicadb1

Elfin rabbit did it easily, never used my 2 other pets :)

Comment by Gatorclan

Easy team I found works like a charm:

Alpine Foxling, or any pet with Dazzling Dance and Howl, used in that order and then pet dies.
Red Cricket - Simply spam Skitter, first two shots with Howl buff hit for about 1K each.
Banicoon, or any pet with Powerball and Eleanor down after 1 or 2 shots.

Good luck!

Comment by RanLive

I was able to almost solo (as in use one pet) this battle. I used these pets:

Mud Jumper
Celestrial Dragon
Infected Squirrel

The first pet would of course be the Mud Jumper. Moves should be Tongue Lash, Mudslide, and Bubble.
The mud jumper has higher speed so you get first move. Use Tongue Lash or Mudslide, your call. He will respond by charging his hard hitting move. Your next move you cast Bubble and that big hitter does nothing. Finally just use Tongue Lash when Mudslide is on cooldown. Your Mud Jumper may die which is where you can throw out whoever you want to fight and finish the guy off.

My fight lasted 9 rounds with only the Mud Jumper dying.

Comment by okonic

Surprised no one else has mentioned it. Lil' Ragnaros seems to work very well against her. Submerge on turn 1, Magma Trap turn 3, Sulfuras Smash till win.

Comment by solitha

Murkimus the Gladiator 2-1-1

Flurry
Shield Block (blocks Death Bleat's damage)
Heroic Leap (avoids Rot debuff)
Flurry
Flurry
Shield Block (blocks Rot debuff)
Flurry until she's unfashionably dead.

Fight length depends on Flurry's hits, but takes about 10-11 rounds. You avoid anything really damaging; Chomp is low-powered against humanoids, and avoiding Rot keeps it that way.

Comment by Orbling

There are a load of methods of dealing with this fight, but I did not see one that involved the Iron Starlette, which works very well against single targets like Eleanor.

Even in 6.1, you can still get a little bit of xp (I was getting 218 on a level 24 pet, so 218+ xp - with the Safari Hat), which can be useful for knocking a pet to 25, or over a level margin before a Flawless Battle-Training Stone is used. So this strategy is a two-man levelling, where the level pet does not get hit at all, so you can use a level 1 safely.

The Team:

Darkmoon Zeppelin - Missile, Explode, Decoy (1,2,2)
Levelling Pet - level 1+
Iron Starlette (P/P preferably or P/S, others untested) - Wind-Up, Toxic Smoke, Supercharge (1,2,1)

If you do not have a Darkmoon Zeppelin, then you can use any pet with Decoy, like the Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling or Sky-Bo, or anything that blocks for two rounds.

The Strategy:

Darkmoon Zeppelin opens with Decoy (Eleanor uses Death Bleat charging, it will not hit.)
Swap to levelling pet (second stage of Death Bleat will be caught by the Decoy)
Swap to Iron Starlette (Eleanor casts Rot, which will be caught by Decoy again))
Wind-Up
Supercharge
Wind-Up (the first serious dent on her health)
Wind-Up
The next step depends on how the RNG has gone, if the Iron Starlette has not resurrected yet, then cast Toxic Smoke, otherwise follow immediately with Wind-Up
If Toxic Smoke was cast last round, cast Wind-Up now. When Iron Starlette is dead, swap in Darkmoon Zeppelin
If Eleanor has already resurrected, just cast Decoy, otherwise spam Missile

If the Iron Starlette manages to get a crit on the initial hit, then the Darkmoon Zeppelin may come in on round 9, before Decoy is available, just use Missile in that eventuality.

Comment by Nixxen

Perhaps not the most obtainable pet so I guess this isn't very viable for most people, but I finally found a good use for him so I'll add it here for anyone else who just have him laying around.

Murkimus The Gladiator (2,1,1) - Solos Eleanore with ease.

Ability plan:
- Shield Block, Flurry, Heroic Leap, Flurry, Flurry, Shield Block, Flurry, Flurry, Flurry, Shield Block

Basically, use Shield Block and Heroic Leap to block / avoid the damage and effects of Death Bleat and Rot, then DPS her down with Flurry in between.

Arctic Hare vs Eleanor.

Round 1: Flurry.
Round 2: Dodge.
Round 3: Stampede.
Round 4: Stampede (continues)
Round 5: Stampede (continues)
Round 6: Flurry
Round 7+: Repeat Flurry until Eleanor dies, use dodge to survive final round when Undead revival. happens.

Tested 10 times with a 25 Rare Arctic Hare (1481 / 244 / 309), one failure due to user error (pressed Stampede instead of Dodge) and one due to poor luck with RNG (took crits, got low number of attacks with Flurry).

Leaving aside user error on the assumption that you are smarter and more competent than I am, the death to RNG was at the very end, so swapping in almost any pet to survive 1 round before Eleanor collapses after the undead revival wears off, making this normally an easy 1 pet win with a pet I had lying around from taming as I levelled characters anyway.

However given the common nature of the attacks used you should be able to substitute any level 25 critters equipped with high speed, Flurry, and Stampede (or equivalent attacks under alternate names). For safety you may as well bring a couple of pets with abilities like dodge or survival, just in case you have to sub one in to take the final round like I did.

Comment by Amnita

The simplest strategy I've found was to use Mr. Grubbs. Start with Acidic Goo, then Burrow to avoid Death Bleat, then just keep Chomping Eleanor to death. Grubbs will die, but so will Eleanor. (I kept Panderan Water Spirit as back up but have yet to actually use her on this fight).

Comment by Rhaego

Easily soloable using Mud Jumper.

Round 1: Use Bubble
Round 2: Use Swarm of Flies
Round 3+: Use Tongue Lash

The Mud Jumper is an aquatic pet, taking reduced damage from undead attacks. It uses critter attacks, which deal extra damage to undead. I used B/B breed, H/B should work fine. Even if you don't kill her before the insta-kill comes back up, your bubble is already recharged.

Comment by JSCVLC

Just a little different but it worked 100% of the time.

I leveled a Ghastly Kid (20 to 25) with this 4 push-button kill.

Start:

#1 Ghastly Kid – Cast Haunt – GK dies for a little while.

#2 Pandaren Water Spirit - Cast Geyser – PWS dies forever.

#3 Chrominius - Cast Howl - Cast Surge of Power – Eleanor dies.

I know there are lots of working strats for this battle, but if you really want to have some fun put 3 frogs on your team using Tongue Lash and swarm of Flies. The Dots from swarm of flies keeps this old Goat bleating the entire fight and quite frankly ive yet to even bring out my third frog. I really havent seen a major difference in the number of turns required even against the hard hitting howl bomb teams ive used. Frogs add a bit of fun to the fight if your into watching the enemy suffer while 2 little frogs smack it into the ground :))

Comment by Uncleoyster

I've been taking this lady out a few times using only one pet: Mud Jumper.
Your first advantage: It's Aquatic, so when the lady hits you - and she will - it's not all that bad.
Your second advantage: Bubble. This is key.
And third: You're faster than her. At lvl 23, mine had 251 speed versus her 219.
Note: This tact beat her 8/10 times. You might crit, she might crit and that may tip the scales. Should the RNG be not in your favour, you can always keep a turtle or a frog as backup.

1: You start with Mudslide. Eleanor will use Death Bleat, which doesn't hurt you this round.
2: Use your Bubble. Eleanor will unleash the damage portion of Death Bleat, but you're invulnerable so yay.
3: Use Tongue Lash. Mudslide when it's off CD. With the Bubble now gone she will damage you a bit, but usually this leaves you with a couple hundred HP left.

Happy battling!

2 pet strategy using MoP pets

Shrine Fly:

Glowing Toxin
Cocoon Strike - block the Death Blast
Scratch - until pet dies

Marsh Fiddler:

Screech - Nature's Touch until just before death strike (swirly yellow graphic)
Cocoon Strike - block the Death Blast
Repeat until dead

Bugged out twice before I tried this order (when I was used Cockroach as 2nd pet, it would die, rez, then not attack and end battle when my first pet was still alive and 3rd on low health).

Comment by 426972

Easily done with two non-special pets -
P/S Frostfur rat (available right outside your Garrison)
ANY other critter with Scratch and Stampede (I had a P/B Red-Tailed Chipmunk)
open with refuge
stampede
stampede (you will die which is fine - you only wanted the 100% dmg buff on Elanor)
swap to your 2nd critter
Scratch
Scratch
Elanor dies, with you at full health - you have up to 2 rounds of dmg to soak from the undead ability.
What you need to know is Refuge covers the massive dmg in round 2, and covers your 2nd critter in their opening round (Elanor has 221 power 219 speed so nearly every critter is faster)

Comment by 1479020

All I used was a rare Tolai Hare Pup with moves set to Flurry/Dodge/Stampede.
Just remember to use Dodge on your 2ed turn so you don't get hit by Death Bleat.

Comment by androjeans

Just did this today with level 25 Lil' Ragnaros, Baneling and Marsh Fiddler @ lvl 24 on the first try with two different toons. Probably has something to do with the nerf to the difficulty of these quests, but it doesn't seem like you need the Pandaren Spirits to do this any longer.

Led with Marsh Fiddler and just did basic damage
Brought Baneling when Fiddler died, led with Centrifugal Hooks
-2 bite/thrash
-1 BBurst
Rag is live
-Flamethrower
-2 Sulfuras Smash
*unded rez*
-Sulfuras Smash
....win....because of that last tick from Flamethrower

x=doesn't matter what talent/ability/attack/move/spell/wtfever you pick
***If you don't have Baneling or Rag, Shale Hatchlings are solid elemental substitues for Rag and frogs are good with Lick against undead....probs need to be 25 across the board, though]

edit: fixed name of critter/bug-pet, added gen. strat.

Comment by GDerkon

I did this...

Zandalari pet P/P breed, Black Claw, Hunting Party.
Then a Rabbit more than 220 speed, Power breed works wonders. Flurry once or twice, Borrow and the resurrect turn

In turn 3-4ish you have a dead Eleanor.

Bring a 3rd pet if you like, might be good if you eat some serious crits.

Comment by 1479077

I used a lvl 25 mud jumper (Rare, H/B). Never even got to the other 2 pets.

Comment by pat33

Simply .... ( 6rounds - 51sec/fight - 0% failure)

Iron starlette 131 (windup supercharge)
=Dies
Chrominus 23 (howl surge)
=Win

Comment by arkensis

For those of us without the PWS or Chrominius...

Molten Corgi - Use Puppies of the Flame to avoid the Death Bleat attack. Pay attention to when she's charging it up, then use it on the next round - the Corgi is faster, so you can block Death Bleat, plus her next two attacks without taking any damage.

Effervescent Glowfly - same concept as above, you can use Cocoon Strike the turn after Eleanor charges Death Bleat to block the massive damage, and with its 3 round cooldown, you can block a few other ugly hits.

Small Frog - not as effective as the above, but Tongue Lash can deal good damage to undead enemies, Healing Wave can keep you up, and Frog Kiss has a 25% chance to polymorph the enemy, keeping the damage down. Also, Rot will hit for less damage on this Aquatic type.

Eleanor downed my Corgi, and got my Glowfly only to about half, never used the Frog.

Comment by nato2k

This is easily done with a Darkmoon Zep and literally any other level 25 pet.

Missile
Decoy
Missile until death round
Explode

Eleanor should be < 200 hp. Bring out another pet to put Eleanor into undead round and soak two attacks - win. I already had Chrominius in my group so I just used Surge and recovered until Eleanor died.

Comment by Utmimg

Although not many people have him, I found that Ethereal Soul Trader nearly solos this guy. Use Life exchange on the first turn, then Soul ward his charged death blast. Then spam beam and use Soul Ward when it is off cooldown and you will survive just in time for Life exchange to get off cooldown an heal you back up again to around 900 health. After that, spam beam until you die and your soul trader will take him down to just 200-300 health for another other one of your pets to take down. If only he was more available, though.

Comment by Streikes

I found an even better way to deal with her, all you need is a blight hawk and any other pet. The blight hawk with Slicing winds, Ghostly Bite and Lift Off can take Eleanor down to around 400 hp before dying finally, then you just swap in almost any other pet to finish her off.

Comment by 1483743

soloed with swamp croaker used swarm of flies, bubble, and then tongue lash until dead

Comment by bigworm2

managed this using only 2 pets (YAY!)
Darkmoon Zeppelin and a lvl 24 Nexus Whelpling
Used thunderbolt then bombing run followed by 2 rounds using missile
brought in the dragon for arcane storm followed up by mana surge FTW

Comment by noppan

You can defeat this opponent with only 2 pets.

Pets needed:

1. Frostfur Rat ,
abilities needed, 1.Sneak Attack, 2. Refuge, 3. Call Darkness

2. Mountain Skunk, abilities needed, 1.Flurry, 2. Perk Up, 3.Stench

3. Any random pet works as 3rd pet.

Tactics:
Start with the Frostfur Rat
R1. Open up with Sneak Attack
R2. Pop Refuge when Eleanor starts to charge
R3. Call Darkness
R4. Keep attacking with Sneak Attack while Call Darkness is active, thats 600 per attack.

When the Rat gets low on health switch to Mountain Skunk, remember to cast Call Darkness before switching to the skunk.

Mountain Skunk:
R1. Pop Stench
R2. Spam Flurry untill the opponent is dead.

Comment by Saro

After reading how hard this fight was, and since I don't have any of the pets mentioned in the highest rated posts, I was kind of sure I'd fail... but no.

I started with Feral Vermling 2-1-1, stunned her first and then used Tongue Lash (strong). She was at 2/3 health before she one-shotted me.

Then I swapped to Horny Toad 2-1-2, cast Swarm of Flies (strong), and then Tongue Lash (Strong) a few times.
(Lots of frogs have same abilities as Horny Toad, so you can just use one of those.)

She was dead when that second pet reached 50% health... to my great surprise.

Just for backup, I had Whiskers the Rat 1-1-1, whose abilities are also strong against her - but Whiskers stayed at the backline, looking utterly bored :-)

Comment by Faebel

Easy peasy with 2 rabbits. Just make sure to use Dodge when she starts charging up.

Comment by albinoette

There are a lot of pets that can counteract Eleanor, especially since the menagerie nerf.

As Eido points out (here), Eleanor has weaker attacks vs. Aquatic pets and takes increased damage from Critters. She also has a nasty Round 2 attack (Death Bleat) that you'll want to block.

Any pet type listed below will need to have speed >= 220 to be the most effective (and avoid that insta-kill Death Bleat).

Combo any two of these for your team (bubble frogs and Teroclaw Hatchling can consistently solo):

Bubble Frogs! | Tongue Lash, Swarm of Flies, Bubble
- Mud Jumper = Swamp Croaker
Rotation credit to Alienmoon (here):

Swarm of Flies
Bubble
Tongue Lash
Re-apply Swarm as needed (1 round), otherwise Tongue Lash
If pet dies, save dodge ability of 2nd pet for Death Bleat, almost always hits in round 12.

Bunnies! | Flurry, Dodge, Stampede
- Highest Tameable Rabbit/Hare/x-tail at present: Tolai Hare (& Pup)
Rotation credit to Alienmoon (here):

Flurry
Dodge
Stampede
Flurry until Dodge off CD
Repeat
If pet dies, save dodge ability of 2nd pet for Death Bleat, almost always hits in round 12.

Speedy Snails! | Absorb, Acidic Goo, Dive
- These breeds: S/S Rapana Whelk = H/S Rusty Snail = H/S Silkbead Snail
Alienmoon and I both have mentioned using snails, no previous/explicit rotation.

Acidic Goo
Dive
Absorb
Dive on CD > re-apply Acidic Goo as needed > Absorb to fill
Repeat until snail dies
Bring in 2nd pet, save dodge ability for Death Bleat, almost always hits in round 12.

Teroclaw Hatchling | Alpha Strike, Dodge, Nature's Ward
- I've been trying these fights with Teroclaw Hatchling lately to see how he fares. EDIT: Moveset adjusted with BfA.
idk my bff Jill

Alpha Strike
Dodge
Alpha Strike
Alpha Strike
Nature's Ward
Alpha Strike
Dodge on CD > Refresh NW when it falls off > Alpha Strike

Comment by Mzbehavin

killed with two pandaran water spirits and chrominus.
even tho your first pet gets smashed you can still get off geyser and whirpool before the first pet dies, fetch in second water spirit and once the whirlpool and geyser has blown up use them on pet number and fill in with water jet, 2nd pet dies 3 rd pets come in you can either howl or simply surge of power at this point at Eleanor health is really low like 150, she does come back to life but dies right again.

Comment by Tsuragao

One thing that I broke out against Eleanor, once I read about her 'charge-up' ability, was the Moth of Destruction.

In this case, it was a rare Garden Moth from the Jade Forest, though any moth with Moth Dust and Cocoon Strike should do.

1. Lead off with Moth Dust. Eleanor will begin charging up if not put to sleep.
2. Cocoon Strike. Renders Eleanor's subsequent devastating attack entirely useless.
3. Alpha Strike until Moth Dust recharges.
Rinse. Repeat. Hope the spirits of the Notorious RNG bless you with crits and sleep.

I only got one crit, on the second strike of an Alpha Strike, and while the fight went on, my moth was the only pet that needed to be used. Only once was Eleanor put to sleep by Moth Dust, but that was enough to pull off the victory.

To me, this fight is all about rolling with the punches and rendering Eleanor's most dangerous ability entirely useless. If you can do that, you will be in good shape!

Comment by Tsanov

I did it like this: Opened with , did nothing the first round, then i used Deflection, which countered his Death Bleat. Then i used Pandaren Water Spirit's Geyser(first) and Whirlpool(second). The final steps are Chrominius's Howl and then Surge of Power. Worked like charm.

Comment by mdunlap0872

Just 2 fast rabbits (mine are S/S breeds) can take care of this. One of mine was a spring rabbit.

Start with first rabbit:
1. Flurry
2. Dodge
3. Stampede (now Eleanor will be taking extra damage)
4. When stampede ends, flurry til first rabbit is dead.

Now rabbit #2.
5. Flurry til Eleanor is dead.
6. Dodge when Eleanor comes back if you want.

Comment by Bonyfoot

Comment by Hurtfullman

1) Bandicoon
2) Borean Marmot
3) Dung Beetle
--------
All three pets are easy to capture so they won't cost a small fortune to win the battle.

Comment by Farelf

My Team for Eleanor, I found using the Neither Fairy Dragon is a great opener.. Use the Moonfire, then Evanescence to avoid the charge, then the Arcane Blast three times. Then just switch to another pet, I use the Pandarian Water Spirit, but it doesn't really matter, to finish her off.

Comment by Zidane3838

Pets used:

Darkmoon Zeppelin: (Missile, Bombing Run, Decoy)
Pandaren Water Spirit: (Water Jet, Whirlpool, Geyser)
Chrominius: (Bite, Howl, Surge of Power)

Comment by Silvertusk

Eleanor can be almost solo'd by the Sky-Bo, with a 2/1/2 setup, plus a bit of luck. Just use Decoy on cooldown, toss out Sticky Grenades, and bash her with Screeching Gears.

Even without the luck, however, the Sky-Bo is capable of taking her down about 3/4 of her health, easily. Following the 'Bo up with a Chrominius will almost guarantee Eleanor's demise - just Howl and Surge of Power!

Comment by Scarmist

Destroyed her with a single pet- Lil' Ragnaros. Sons of Flame is great in this fight, and the stun is helpful too.

Comment by braunwynn

Soloed this guy with bonkersBonkers with 1,2,2 and bonkers ended the fight at 85% STUPID EASY

Comment by cephadex

You need:

1. Pandaren Water Spirit (any, whirlpool, geyser)
2. Chrominius (any, howl, surge of power)
3. Doesn't matter

Start with Pandaren Water Spirit:

1. Round 1: Geyser
2. Round 2: Whirlpool

After round 2, your Pandaren Water Spirit will die, but its two spells had been cast and that's all that matters.

Bring out Chrominius:

3. Round 3: Howl
4. Round 4: Surge of Power

This strategy works for nearly all pet fights where you only need to defeat one boss, with few exceptions.

Comment by Celesia

You can generally use Frostwolf Ghostpup to solo Eleanor.

Abilities - 1-1-1
Use them in order. Scratch, Refuge, Frolick. Then spam Scratch until Eleanor is dead or you are. It might take 1 more hit from another pet of your choosing, but it's pretty straight forward.

Good luck!

Comment by pipilas

Forget the pet combos forget the difficult to get pets.Show trust on your frogs, a single Jungle Darter lvl 25 rare is more than enough to destroy eleanor.Apply swarm of flies and spam tongue lash.Don't even bother to heal.When your frog dies switch to your leveling pet for a single round and then to another pet to finish off.I used as second pet a zandalari with black claw and hunting party that is practically extremelly weak against undead and receives a whole lot of damage

Comment by Ladinei

I managed to solo it with a rabbit.
I'm not sure if RNG was good to me.

Attacks were: Flurry, Dodge and Burrow.

I started using flurry, then i used burrow because of the charging attack. Then i continued with flurry, and used dodge when i could.

Comment by kendallzemp

This pet battle can be used to level several kinds of pet anywhere from level 10 up, even lower. My level 5 Harmonious Porcupette did it casting Hibernate the first round. Eleanor always leads with the 2-round Death Bleat, which charges up the first round (dealing no damage) and lets it rip the 2nd round. It is fatal if not blocked. The successful leveling pet has to have a spell like Survival, Burrow, Lift Off or Cocoon Strike. Terrible Turnip has Sons of the Root which works well, and can be used to lead off since it lasts 3 rounds. Many of my leveling pets were faster speed than Eleanor, who is relatively slow at 219. Typically, I used any 1-round damage spell for round #1, the blocking spell for round #2, and sometimes used round #3 for a 2 round blocking spell like Lift Off. Depending on what spell you use, Eleanor may hit the leveling pet in round #3, but it's not usually very hard, 500 hp or less. If your pet is slower than Eleanor, you have to use the blocking spell on round #1.

As soon as you can following round #2, switch to the combo first recommended by Phayze71: Pandaren Water Spirit (PWS) (Geyser, then Whirlpool) and then immediately to Chrominius (Howl, then Surge of Power). There are other options for the lineup, as you can read in other comments. If you are level 90, you can get your own Pandaren Water Spirit by doing quests or other tasks in Pandaria. The Chrominius is dropped by Chromaggus in Blackwing Lair at a rate of 18%. Either PWS or the Chrominius can be purchased on the AH for $400-600 ideally.

The advantages to using this fight to level are that it is almost always 9 rounds, you can finish the battle in just over one minute and the success rate is high. Also, you can level a broad range of very low pets, who typically gain 1-2 levels per turn. It seems that the 5-level early leveling boost we enjoyed in times past was nerfed a bit sometime during WoD, so you don't seem to be able to rise 5 levels in a single turn (in a power leveling team) anymore.

The best way to level early on (noobs) is to fight wild pets, and purposefully challenge HIGHER LEVEL pets to fight. You should be aiming somewhere from 3-6 levels above you, maybe even more. If you challenge and CAPTURE a wild pet that is a higher level, at more advanced levels, your captive new pet will lose a few levels in the catching ("weakened by capture"), but you'll be "qualified" at this new tier level of your pets. For example, if your team is level 12 and you challenge a level 18 wild pet team, capture one of them and defeat the team, you will be then be "qualified" to purchase, own and work with level 15 pets (if "weakened by capture to level 15"). This new pet qualifies you for a full 3 level jump, so you can now borrow or buy new pets at that new, higher level. Only by leveling your own pets (through pet battle EXP) or by capture of new pets will you become "qualified" at higher pet levels.

You have the best chance of success fighting WILD PETS if the members of the opposing team are poor quality (gray), with the associated low level stats, and yours are high level (green or blue). Use the best team you have, and explore NEAR a local pet trainer (and healer). If you have them, you can use pet bandages, along with the basic ability to heal your battle pets as needed every 4-8 minutes. If access to healing is limited, you can switch out dead or damaged pets for fresh ones, if you have adequate pets to do it. You can also borrow better pets from your friends (providing that they can be caged) to use in your battle team, to help you capture higher level wild pets. You can load them and use them, and when you cage them to give them back, they will still be suitable for sale "as new" on the AH. That being said, some pets are worth a great deal of gold, and are typically not freely loaned out as a matter of practice. If you want to borrow an valuable pet, you should be willing to deposit a significant portion of the value as collateral, as negotiated with the lender, if not purchase the new pet outright.

Comment by Jimmyjoeisdabomb

Soloable with Anubisath Idol. Use Deflection as your second move to counter Death Bleat, then again on cooldown as it will line up with Rot as well as Death Bleat. Use Crush and Sandstorm as fillers. I actually let her one shot me at the end so that i could get some leveling pets in.

Comment by Photekz

Another combo if anyone is interested: Unborn Val'kyr + Zandalari Anklerender.

Round 1: Curse of Doom
Round 2: Unholy Ascension
Round 3: Shadow Shock > Val'kyr dies switch to Zandalari Anklerender
Round 4: Black Claw
Round 5: Hunting Party + Curse of Doom explosion
Round 6: Hunting Party > Eleanor dies.
Round 7: Leap or pass since it's in Immortal Round.

Comment by smetia

Really easy fight ;

Summit kid with Stampede after he will finish stampede he will die
Alpine Foxling on the 3rd flurry the goat will die the fox will survive.

Comment by Bianconeri

Iron Starlette lvl 25 (1/1/1)
Lil' Bling lvl 25 (2/1/1)

First round: Wind-up.

Second round: Swap to Lil' Bling, who dies immediately but ressurects.

Third round: Inflation, Lil' Bling dies again.

Swap back to Iron Starlette when prompted.

Fourth round: Supercharge.

Fifth round: Wind-up.

This will always 1-shot Eleanor.

Comment by TNadal

Nine round strat, worked 10/10.

Blingtron and a Nexus Whelpling. third pet doesn't matter, won't ever be used.

Bling opens with Extra Plating, throws some coins, inflates till he's dead. jumps back up and inflates again. then dies.

first whelp casts Arcane Storm, then Mana Surge. Dead Goat.

third pet has never entered combat. first whelp finishes around 25-50% health, depending on RNG.

Comment by Whatvoidzone

Howl Bomb

Comment by selkie47

Minfernal is a good pet to start with. He will live thru the charge up attack that Eleanor will do after a round or two. Follow up with Chrominius (Howl/Ravage) and I never even had to use the third pet (Emperor Crab for heal/whirlpool).

Comment by Sugarboy

As of 10/24/2015, if you can survive the first charge you can otherwise attack Eleanor with whatever undead damage you have available. I opened with:
lvl25 Perky Pug, specifically for Burrow, Immunity and better speed. A similar dog may also work.

First round, just damage--Comeback, for example.
Second round, Burrow to avoid the charge.
Lastly,Perk Up and Comeback Eleanor until Pug is low/out and throw in something else--I used lvl 25 Ancient Nest Guardian, for example. Put up plating, and just keep hitting if Eleanor is still up.

Comment by Hongtang

I did read a lot of looooong strategies for this fight but i tried using :

Tolai Hare S/S with Flurry Dodge Stampede and a frog as a backup

Simply did : Flurry then Dodge, and Stampede, then simply spam Flurry and Dodge on CD till Eleanor dies if you're a bit lucky, else the Tolai Hare will die when Eleanor gets a rez, use the frog, get hit once, fight done.

Comment by 598155

I have found that using a stun on this thing when it does that charging attack is the best way to stop it altogether. Just have to make sure that your stunning pet doesn't die.

Comment by Killerzeus

Like most 1-pet fight this can easily be done with only a level 25 Unborn Val'Kyr and a level 25 Chrominius

Unborn Val'kyr first:
First round: Curse of Doom / Eleanor starts Charging
second round: random attack / Eleanor kills Unborn Val'kyr in 1 attack
third round: random attack / Val'Kyr dies again
fourth round: switch to Chrominius

Chrominius:
Fifth round: use Howl
Sixth round: Surge of Power (Curse of Doom explodes and do more damage because of howl)

Eleanor dies and wakes up while Chrominius is recovering, but dies again before getting Chrominius down.

Comment by bastler

In case you do not have all those fancy rare pets:

2 Frostfur Rats will make short work of her.

Sneak Attack, Refuge, Call Darkness

Block her charged attack with Refuge.

Comment by Gamayun

Found easiest way to kill Eleanor, to get Draenic Pet Battler fast and leveling my pets.
1.Core Hound Pup
2. Any pet you want to level up

Use:
- Burrow - this allows to survive first round
- Howl
- Scratch
- Scratch

Comment by 1552149

This worked for me, done in under a minute:

Ikky - Black Claw and Flock
Rabbit (H/B) (I was using a Hare specifically) - Stampede

1. Ikky - Use Black Claw.
2. Ikky - Flock to apply Shattered Defenses, Ikky will die this round.
3. Hare - Stampede. Will usually kill it during the second round of it, then just wait for the undead passive to end.

Win.

Comment by fuppylodders

Just soloed her with an Elfin Rabbit really easy. Started off with scratch, second round used dodge, scratch, burrow, and then dodge on every charge, and burrow on every CD with scratch as fillers inbetween. First time, worked flawlessly. Didnt even get to my second pet, nor did the first die even with the resurrection...

Comment by Pesticide6

I used 2 pets. Core Hound Pup and Frostfur Rat. Pup: Scratch, Howl, Burrow-used 3 2 1 1 1 Pup dies. Rat: Sneak Attack, Refuge, Call of Darkness-1 2 fight over. If Eleanor doesn't crit, you won't need to use the rat.

Comment by danicadb1

I used 2 elfin rabbits, when Eleanor is going to use her death blow, burrow, and she is easy to defeat, my rabbits were high speed so they always went first.

Comment by Daslimp

Lots of complicated strats for a pretty simple fight. Can easily solo with a hard counter pet, I used a rare level 24 #12 H/B Mud Jumper 2-2-1 which I'd just picked up in Nagrand.
Pet 1: Mud Jumper
Pet 2: Doesn't matter
Pet 3: Still doesn't matter
Swarm of Flies> Bubble to eat part 2 of Eleanor's Death Bleat and Rot> Spam Tongue Lash until you need to refresh Swarm of Flies but she usually dies around that time.
Mud Jumper may die from her final attack after her rez. It's about 50/50. If your second pet needs to come in at all, it can safely stand there and pass as Swarm will finish Eleanor off by end of the round. It is an 8 or 9 round fight depending on RNG.

Comment by grisselda1010

quickest easiest way I've found is:

Pandarian water spirit (H/S) - geyser then whirlpool
water spirit dies
chrominus (H/H) - bite - howl - surge
Eleanor dies!

Comment by nibbler

2 x Mud Jumper or Swamp Croaker just destroys this one

Swarm of Flies
Bubble
Tongue Lash
Tongue Lash
Switch to second frog
keep Swarm of Flies up
else just Tongue Lash until his Rot ability is up, then use
Bubble and Tongue Lash until dead

Comment by 1539571

Those are all fine and dandy, hell i used the "random-waterspirit-chromo" combo, only it didnt go exactly as planned. So my first pet slot, i picked my Slithershock Elver, anything with these abilities will do the same. I gave her 1, 1, 2, for her abilities. Pump first thing, then dogde. From there, dodge when CD is up, otherwise spam pump, aaaaaaaaand she solo wins! I tried it 3 times, and worked perfect consistently. Have fun!

Comment by 1545201

I have found a great strategy that works like a charm every time.
You only need 2 pets for this:

Fragment of Desire and Ghastly rat. I've never got to use the third one.

Start with Fragment of Desire: Reflective shield, Soulrush, Spiritfire bolt. When the goat hits you with his most powerful attack that would kill any pet really, it takes 50% of the damage itself since you have the shield up! And since Fragment is undead, you get to hit once more after that.

After Fragment dies switch to your Ghastly rat. The rat has abilities that are powerful against the undead, but I've always chosen to use the combo of Consume, Rabid strike and Crouch.
Start with crouch and keep it active as often as you can and continue with consume and rabid strike.

Hope this helps! :)

Comment by Vims

Quick and easy fight with 2 x Zandalari Anklerender / Zandalari Kneebiter.

Last pet is of your choice.

Comment by Garlin

Its possible to solo it with arctic hare

Use Scratch and Dogde on CD :D RNG fight not still might work. 1/10 sucessful

Aslo possible to solo with Kun-Lai Runt

Its RNG also but like 80% chance to win 8/10 focuses win 1 lose 1 win but pet died :D

Frost Shock
Deepfreeze
Takedown

ELEANOR WILL DIE

ELEANOR WILL DIE AGAIN

Comment by Wallhugger

Based on someone else's comment I tried 3 rare hares - all level 22 (I had no 25s) and it worked a treat. Save Burrow for when Eleanor is reading to use charge and you're golden.

The first two hares died mind you :) but the third saw me through.

Comment by DonPoleno

Soloing Eleanor with Teroclaw Hatchling is stupid easy.
Just use Dodge whenever it's ready and Eleanor's Death Bleat is getting off cooldown, spam Claw and stick Nature's Ward somewhere in between.

Comment by LIONESS9000

Conquered Eleanor with garden frog, jungle darter and a grassland hopper

Comment by thulsadoom

For what its worth, this battle gives 1K XP for carry pets during the Pet Battle event. This is works out for carry pets in the level 11 to 15 range or within 1K of the next level.

Comment by Roriah

You can kill Eleanor with two frogs, using Frog Kiss. Just keeping using Frog Kiss. My first frog dies, but a few times I didn't even need to use the second one. I tried putting my carry pet in first, but that didn't work, Eleanor took out my first frog in two hits.

Comment by Jim00ras21

Sprite Darter Hatchling vs Eleanor

Hello everyone..

I am fairly new to pet battle and i don't have many of the rares most people use.
I tried various combinations and what i found that worked best for me is the Sprite Darter Hatchling.

Moonfire
Evanescence (to block her attack)
Arcane Blast
Arcane Blast
Arcane Blast
Arcane Blast
Arcane Blast
Evanescence (not to die before Eleanor dies.
Moonfire
Eleanor ressurrects but you can just call another pet and pass, the fight is over.

--Worked 90% of the time, just a couple of times RNG messed up but other then that sweet fight--
.
.

I hope i helped. :)

Comment by D34thsEyEs

Here's how I beat Eleanor, and boy was I amazed on how much damage I dealt to the pet. >u<

The pets I used are:
1. PSPP (Pint-Sized Pink Pachyderm)
2. Giant Sewer Rat
3. *any backup pet*

PSPP vs Eleanor
1. First, use Survival. Eleanor will start using Death Bleat.
2. Use Stampede to give Eleanor a 100% armor debuff. She will then unleash the bleat but won't kill the PSPP due to survival.
3. Stampede still continues and Eleanor finishes PSPP off with Rot, meaning that is a waste of changing one type of pet into another.

Giant Sewer Rat vs Eleanor:
1. This is where I got amazed by the damage dealt. Use Comeback. Trust me, Over. Powered.
2. Use Comeback again. The armor debuff ends there.
3. Spam Flurry until Eleanor is dead. She will come back to life thanks to the Undead passive.
4. Use any ability, but I used Survival at the end of the fight.

----

Instead of using Giant Sewer Rat, I used Brightpaw (In-Game Store Pet). Follow the PSPP step as usual, but this time:
1. Use Prowl while Eleanor's defense debuff is still active after she killed PSPP.
2. Eleanor will have the first move next turn due to the speed loss Prowl gives to Brightpaw. Use Arcane Dash, and the battle has won easily due to the 150% attack buff plus Eleanor's 100% defense debuff. A chance to stun is also there. If Eleanor is stunned, Pass. Otherwise, you can still Pass or use an attack. >w<

Comment by ZeroStar

So, I found a very easy way to farm Eleanor and sometimes get xp for a 3rd leveling pet.

Unborn Val'kyr - Any, Curse of Doom (2), and Unholy Ascension (2).

Chrominius - Bite (1), Howl (1), and Surge of Power (2)

Any leveling pet.

Open with Unborn Val'kyr Use Curse of Doom (2) first turn. Second turn use Unholy Ascension (2). This not only bypasses the damage from Death Bleat, but sets her up for Chrominius.

Select Chrominius as your next pet. Use Bite (1), Howl (1), then Surge of Power (2).

That's it! Eleanor will die and come back as her Undead self. If done 'correctly' she will then finish off Chrominius, forcing your 3rd leveling pet to come out and grab up the xp as the battle ends.

Turn around, have Lio the Lioness heal. Rinse and repeat!

Sidenote: No, this will not go perfectly every time, just a good way to earn a little more xp for your pets if you're grinding the battle anyways.

Comment by flickamad

Team used:

Puddle Terror
Iron Starlette
Chrominius(not needed)

You start up with Nature's Ward, then Dive and spam Water Jet. Also, use Dive on cooldown!

Use the Starlette Power Ball once and spam Wind-UP.

Comment by kupatrix

So, I've been narrowing down my pet teams for these battles, and I've been using Kneebiter w/Red Cricket (Claw, Stampede, then Swarm on the Cricket) for Eleanor but I discovered that instead of the Cricket, which usually needs more turns the fight goes faster with a Kneebiter and Frostwolf Pup instead:

Zandalari Kneebiter P/P - Black Claw, then Hunting Party
Frostwolf Pup - Flurryx2 (if needed), then pass or whatever during the immune round.

Only saves a turn or two, but across multiple alts the time can add up!

Comment by shemei

If you're an Archaeology nerd like me, solo'd her with the Frostwolf Ghostpup. Use your Block when she's charging, and make sure to Dodge to cut down on the damage you take. We both popped our undead rez abilities, managed to get the killing blow before the pup died. ;-)

Comment by Entimidator

Just solo'd with the Darkmoon Rabbit. Don't stampede the first attack as Eleanor will charge up in the middle of it.

Comment by deathsilence

1 Mud Jumper with Tongue Lash, Swarm of Flies (DoT for max damage), and Bubble (block that pesky Death Bleat)
2 of anything else

2 > 3 > 1 til death

Comment by MeekaArch

Hey all :D

I just solo'd her with rare lvl 25 Nether Faerie Dragon. Moonfire-then Evanescence-then Arcane Blast until MF was off cooldow and used EV again when off cooldown.

I also had Nordrassil Wisp and Lil' Tarecgosa on Stand by if I needed. Hope this helps.

Good Luck!

Comment by Angelhearth

Not sure if it works every time, but I had Pandaren Water spirit and Chrominus available.
Darkmoon Zeppelin. Decoy, Missiles until Decoy is available, Decoy, Missiles until Darkmoon Zeppelin is dead.
Chrominus, Whatever, Eleanor had about 50HP left after Darkmoon Zeppelin. She dies resurrects and dies.

Comment by xRodge

Everyone's favorite - Anubisath Idol.
Round 1, Sandstorm. Sandstorm again on cooldown.
Anytime Eleanor announces "Charging", pop "Deflection" to stop it.
Just crush every other round.

Solos this fight in with no problems at all.

Comment by ZIGMER

1-Pet Strategy, any 2nd pet to possibly soak a single attack while Eleanor's Undead Passive is active.

Pet Pick: Swamp Croaker (Over 276 Speed)
Abilities: Togue Lash, Bubble, Croak

Strategy:
Turn 1 - Togue Lash
Turn 2 - Bubble (Block the next 2 attacks, including Death Bleat)
Turn 3 - Togue Lash
Turn 4 - Croak (Prevent taking any Critical Hits, this will keep the battle predictable)
Turn 5 - Togue Lash
Turn 6 - Togue Lash
Turn 7 - Togue Lash (Eleanor's passive will likely proc on turn 7 or 8)
Turn 8 - Togue Lash (If Eleanor's passive didn't proc on turn 7, otherwise, Pass)

By turn 8 or 9, Eleanor will likely be dead or passive proc'd, there is a chance she'll get to hit the next random pet once, this all depends if your damage was low end or high end hits. Eleanor won't be able to crit until turn 8, so her damage shouldn't attribute to success or failure.

Tested this on 5 different characters, all roughly the same results, an easy win.

Comment by jester20007

Very easy solo with a rabbit: Flurry - Dodge - Stampede - 2 x Flurry -Dodge : R.I.P. goat...

Comment by 769360

Here is my faster / effective / quickest / speedily / rapidly and easiest tactical without RNG:

Eleanor -->35 seconds
Zandalari Kneebiter 2/2/2 + Stitched Pup 2/2/1

If you can be faster than me, please tell me but be honest and minimizing the RNG, time is calculated from the first spell I used untill the end-animation :)

----- I made a guide for every fight of the day quick. You can also see various advices. -----

Comment by Krowi

Since the removal of the Howl Bomb tactic another tactic had to be looked for. What I found is that any pet with the following 3 abilities work: Arcane Blast, Evanescence and Moonfire.

Example pets are: Sprite Darter Hatchling or Nether Faerie Dragon. The Sprite Darter Hatchling is a zone drop from Feralas with a 0.01 - 0.03 % chance. I'd recommend getting a Nether Faerie Dragon (also from Feralas) from a pet battle. These spawn in the region with the entrances to the Dire Maul instance.

Just start with Moonfire followed by Evanescence to block his big attack. After this use Arcane Blast and Eleanor should be about dead. Then just switch in another pet so finish the job.

Below is an easy step-by-step list of abilities to use:

Moonfire
Evanescence
Arcane Blast until either your pet or Eleanor die.
Switch to a back-up pet if needed.

Comment by mymy379

Update2: AFAIK this strat still works as of patch 8.2.x. You could also try other toads/frogs/aquatics with Bubble and critter damage.
Update: As other comments have noted, either Benax or Mud Jumper (any breed) can easily solo Eleanor with:
Mudslide > Bubble > Tongue Lashx2 > Mudslide.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Team:
Stitched Pup *
Zandalari Kneebiter
Any 3rd pet, to outlast Eleanor undead round, not strictly necessary, but RNG is RNG.

Flurryx3*, Stitched Pup dies, Eleanor at 60-50% remaining HP.
Black Claw > Hunting Party > Bloodfang, Eleanor goes into undead round.
Either Zandaraptor or the backup (or both) pet remain alive, after Eleanor truly dies.

*Comment: Due to they way 'new' Howl works, currently using Flurry only consistently does more damage to Eleanor, compared to Howl+Flurryx2.
P.S. Original credit goes to this post, I only added detailed instructions.

Comment by Cocodrillopwnz

I just took a bunch of my lvl 25 critters (Arctic hare, long-tailed mole, Yellow-bellied marmot - all rare). Arctic hare got one-shot the first round, stampeded with mole twice (did pretty much all the work), marmot finished her in 2 rounds. Might not be the best thing if you want to kill her with one pet and other fancy stuff, but if you just do it for marks and dailies like me, critters are all you need.

Comment by akirajumps

I'm seeing a lot of complicated strategies and really you just need FROGS. They take less damage as Aquatics but if you use Tongue Lash and Swarm of Flies you can get the bonus Critter damage. Took her out with 1 1/2 frogs. I'd suggest Healing Wave as the middle token. Keep Swarm of Flies up but otherwise Tongue Lash until Healing Wave comes off CD.

Super easy.

Comment by nanrector

ELEANOR 7.0

Unborn Val'kyr 2,2, 1
Brown Rabbit 2,2,2 (any rabbit with dodge and stampeded)
Level 10 or up Pet (tested several and this seems to be a good estimate)

USE UNBORN VAL'KYR
Curse of Doom
Haunt

USE RABBIT

Dodge
Stampede: He should die once your stampedes are finished. If not use Flurry to finish him off for his first die. Once he comes back immediacy use:

USE LEVEL PET
He usually dies here with nothing done.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
I started doing Pet Battles a month before patch 7.0 after taking copious notes and getting my battles down I found many now did not work. For those with the same problem I wanted to add what works for me in 7.0

IMPORTANT: when I suggested using something on cooldown, or when it’s available, that means to use it when it only has 1 round left. Don’t wait until it’s off to use it again.
Most level pets are brought in and out making no attacks unless stated.

Comment by Clinh

I went with Anubisath Idol, Chrominius and Pandaren Water Spirit.
Start with Idol using Crush, Sandstorm and Deflection. Deflect his Charges, keep Sandstorm up and just keep using crush.
I had him down to about 500 health before the Idol died, then Chrominius easily finished him with Surge of Power then Arcane Explosion, didn't need to use my PWS.

Comment by ruthven78

A rare balanced Mud Jumper at level 25 was able to solo it using Tongue Lash, Mudslide, and Bubble. Use Bubble once Eleanor charges her big attack.

Two of Eleanor's attacks are weak against aquatic, and the Tongue Lash & Mudslide are strong against undead.

You can use frogs other than Mud Jumper if they have the same attacks.

Comment by Arnastrasz

I used the Nether Faerie Dragon and it alone won (and died at the end of) the fight for me. Eleanor was stupid enough to never use Rot for some reason.

Comment by VoXeR

What I used was:

Unborn Valkyr with 2/2/1
Spring Rabbit with 2/1/2

Start off with putting up Curse of Doom and Haunt. Swap in the Spring Rabbit and use Adrenaline Rush if you need the speed, if not, use Stampede to apply debuff and use Flurry as a filler. Once Curse of Doom and Haunt have popped the goat should be dead, if not, swap back to Valkyr once the Rabbit dies and finish it off.

Doesn't award much EXP, so don't bother with trying to gain EXP.

Elfin Rabbit lv23 (2/1/1)
Zandalari Anklerender (2/2/2)
Olivetail Hare lv23 (2/2/2) --any pet that can survive one round will do--

Elfin Rabbit:
1. Adrenaline Rush
2. Burrow
3. Adrenaline Rush
4. Flurry
5. Flurry (dies)

Zandalari Anklerender:
1. Primal Cry
2. Black Claw
3. Hunting Party (Eleanor dies, and resurrects)

Olivetail Hare:
1. Dodge

Win

Comment by curledlizard

I did not have the pets previously stated. but I chose undead for all 3 pets... emerald turtle alpine rabbit and alpine foxling. used turtle for all it was worth with shield,. when it died used rabbit and she won. did not have to use foxling, but if I had to do it agein would use foxling firs

Comment by Blowmyarrow

Soloed it with a lvl23 Rare Balance Swamp Croaker.
Bubble - Swarm of Flies - Tongue Lash until it is dead.
GG!

Comment by schneizeru

Soloed with rare S/S Flayer Youngling but any breed (common or higher rarity) should be able to solo it.
Abilities: Blitz, Deflection, Kick.
Strategy:
Eleanor will open with Death Bleat. Using Kick will interrupt the cast, causing Death Bleat to end early without doing damage. Next turn Eleanor will cast Rot, use Deflection to avoid it. Chomp will deal less damage to humanoids and humanoid trait will replenish some health. From here on attack with Blitz. Use Deflection and Kick to avoid the previous abilities in the same manner, when they come off cooldown. If Death Bleat and Rot come off cooldown at the same turn, Eleanor will repeat the opening sequence and use Death Bleat first, execute the tactics from the beginning and she will be down before your flayer.

Comment by runequest

If you are after Draenor Pet Brawler and Eleanor is up, you can farm this. My strat uses this team to kill her twice without healing and with only 9 mouse clicks (including the 2 to start the fights).
You need 2 x Zandalari Toenibblers (or anything with black claw and an undead damage ability). And a pet with stampede, swarm or similar. I used Infected Squirrel PB.
Put the squirrel in 3rd place.

Start with a toenibbler, Flank, Blackclaw. Bring in squirrel. Swarm. Win.
Start fight again. Repeat above. Win.
Heal pets. Repeat.
Lose the will to live after 50+ fights.............

Comment by Kanetsidohi

My team:

1. Mechanical Axebeak Level 25 P/P Rare: Decoy, Haywire, Alpha Strike.
2. Mud Jumper Level 25 B/B Uncommon: Swarm of Flies, Pump, Tongue Lash.
3. Nether Faerie Dragon Level 25 P/P Rare: Moonfire, Arcane Blast, Life Exchange.

I wasn't sure how hard it hits so I started with my Axebeak using Decoy, and then switched to my Mud Jumper, she used Flies, Pump and Tongue Lash, it didn't seem like a lot of damage but it was, it killed Eleanor but it got back to life, and killed my Jumper, I switched to Axebeak, she set up Decoy, and Eleanor just died. My dragon didn't even join the battle.

If I started with my Mud Jumper, attacking, contrary to just using Decoy, maybe I would have been to solo it but I would try other time.

Comment by fuzzywicked

Can be soloed with Ruby droplet

Comment by B4mbi

With 2 Zandalari Kneebiter is Eleanor dead in few rounds. Start with Black Claw then Hunting Party. My first kneebiter died after one run of Hunting Party. Bring your second kneebiter and continue with Hunting Party then Leap. Eleanor dies and Leap again to be sure that she stays dead.

Comment by Urbanspacesquid

I've been power levelling a carrier pet with Eleanor. I'm a bit rubbish at pet battles but this strat works very reliably (hasn't failed yet!)
1. Mechanical Pandaran Dragonling: Decoy
2. Switch in carry pet
3. Yellow Bellied Bullfrog: Fly swarm, tongue lash (repeat), heal
4. If frog dies (it usually does when Eleanor is at low health) bring in Dragonling to finish off with thunderbolt.

Comment by mcdisney2001

My Anubisath Idol (1,2,2) has soloed Eleanor the past two times I've tried him. If your Rupture procs a stun a few times, you're gold. If it doesn't, Eleanor will still be "mostly dead" by the time you lose the Idol, and you can swap in whatever you want to pop off the last shot or two.

FYI, My Anubisath Idol has turned out to be one of my go-to pets for all sorts of battles. I absolutely recommend taking the time to farm a blue one (or upgrading with a stone).

Comment by ocelot

solo with Benax 2,2,1 or similar frog, bubble then swarm, then lick to death

Comment by wowtaent

2 lvl pet strategy that worked for me.

lvl 25 benax(2,2,1), lvl pet 1, lvl pet 2 ( leveling pets were set to lvl 6 - lvl 10)

starts with benax
1) swarm
2) bubble ! or die
3) tongue
4) tongue
5) tongue until Eleanor is <600hp
6) swap in lvl pet 1
7) swap in lvl pet 2
8) swap back to benax
9) tongue until win

Eleanor comes back to life at end, but dies 2 rounds later, so bubble if needed to stay alive.

note: I took ocelots idea of using benax and made this a 2 lvl pet strat. thx!

Comment by wolf391

So... I killed Eleanor 2x, I get a message that I WON.
Then ... nothing happens ?
What the blazes am I supposed to do. Bear in mind.. beginner pet battler

Comment by DaemoniKira

Easily soloed with Benax .
Step 1: Use Bubble as first move; it will counter Eleanor's Death Bleat.
Step 2: Use Swarm of Flies next.
Step 3: Use Tongue Lash until you win.
Step 4: Profit!

(The key, of course, is to use non-critter pets with critter-type abilities. Critter abilities are strong against Undead pets, but Eleanor has Beast-type abilities, and Critters are weak to Beast abilities. Ideally, a Flying-type pet with Critter abilities would be best (e.g. Szechuan Chicken or Violet Firefly) since Beast-type abilities are weak against Flying pets, but I don't have any leveled up.)

Comment by thenixie

Single-pet win with Alarm-o-Bot

I had success with @Phayze71 's Pandaren Water Spirit/Chrominius strategy and was looking for a throwaway pet to take the first two rounds. I put in Alarm-o-Bot with Decoy, Interrupting Jolt , and Batter. I kept the bot in for a bit, figuring I'd take down whatever health I could before it died and I switched to Phayze's strategy. But Alarm-o-bot killed her.

Decoy took most of the attacks.
Averted attacks with interrupting jolt on Cd
Battered her to death twice.

Comment by Zhic

I did this one today.

My Darkmoon Zeppelin took about 95% of her health before it died. I started with Decoy > Bombing Run then just spam Missile til the other cooldowns went away.
Then I had a Pandaren Water Spirit which only had to do one Water Jet before Eleanor died. Very easy :)
