Timeless Isle indeed... Mari, you're supposed to be dead.... though I suppose "magic" applies here.

Comment by Pwuebear

Spirus seemed to cause me the most trouble with this fight, but used a flying pet with flock to get the debuff up before it eventually died, then finished the round off with a Mini Thor (reduced magic damage). Certainly a lot of other mechanical pets that are useful, and I found it easier than trying with a dragon pet.

Comment by Damra

used jade owl for the aquatic: slicing Wind/x /lift-off took abit of the wisp Down to.

mechanical pandaren dragonling for the wisp: breath/ bombing run/decoy

disgusting oozeling for the elemental: ooze touch/creeping ooze/expunge but the mech had almost killed him so easy job for oozeling

Comment by 859435

Pretty annoying guy to battle against. But i found a team that worked well against him.
Little XT : zap,heartbroken and tympanic tantrum
start with heartbroken followed by tantrum,used both on cd with zap on the side

Crunchy Scorpion : snap,screech and rampage.

Water Waveling : water jet,frost nova and geyser
only used water jet to finish the last pet off.

None of my pets died.Soon as Little XT was nearly dead i swapped to the Scorpion,used rampage to kill off the second pet. Switched to Water Waveling to finish off the last pet with one water jet.

This combo is working well on Wise Mari : Brilliant Kaliri / Clockwork Gnome / Strand Crab

Carpe Diem : Use brilliant Kaliri, open with Shriek then Quills Carpe Diem until he dies. With the shriek debuff, your Kaliri should be more than 60% hp when Carpe Diem dies.

Spirus : Just Shriek him with your Kaliri then switch to your clockwork gnome. Basically you need to build a turret, repair, then turret, metal fist and refresh turret untill Spirus dies. Your gnome will probably die and ressurect, but dont worry, as long as you keep refreshing turret Spirus will go down, you may even be able to repair a second time. This is a nibble fight because Spirus shield & heal himself.

River : Your gnome should be alive but low on hp. Just put a turret, then take your crab and Whirlpool / surge untill River dies (healing wave in case of bad rng). And if your crab dies, River should be anyway quiet low on hp, so you can take your Kaliri back to finish him.

hope it helps

Common sense says:
Jade Owl against Carpe Diem
Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling against Spirus
Legs against River. Also Strand Crawler with Surge/Healing Mists/Whirlpool might be good against River.

Except for Legs, all pets listed give you speed advantage

Comment by Tyrtun

I found a quick and easy way to beat this guy:

Carpe Diem -> Use Gilnean Raven

1- Alpha Strike
2- Call Darkness
3- Nocturnal Strike
4- Alpha strike

Spirus -> Use Gilnean Raven until he kills this pet and then Use Onyxian Whelpling

Use Tail Sweep but he will deflect it, just continue using it until he dies. (I don't remember if I used healing flame against this pet.

River -> Use Onyxia with the following sequence and use a random aquatic pet ( I used a rare Jungle Darter lvl 23 and he lvled up to 24 xD)

Onyxia:

1- Healing Flame
2- Tail sweep
3- Lift off (In order to avoid whirlpool)

Finally, use the aquatic pet you have chosen and beat this guy.

I hope to have been of help :)

Chicken first, clockwork gnome because when the enemy does block attack the turrets smack it off, and lastly magical crawdad.

I would suggest using chicken over the jade owl although the jade owl will work.

Comment by Paulosio

I used :

Dark Whelpling. Tail sweep, Darkness, Lift Off.

Spawn of Onyxia. Tail sweep, Lift Off

Spawn of G'nathus. Swallow You whole, Dive, Paralyzing.

Make sure to use Darkness after Carpe Diem uses it's Rleansing Rain weather.

Comment by 798023

To start with you want to get rid of the cleansing rain immediately, as it significantly buffs the attacks of Carpe Diem and river. I recommend Sandstorm in particular as a counter, it almost completely neuters carpe diem, dreadful breath will hit each of your pets for around 40 damage in sandstorm. So any pet that can whip up a sandstorm can destroy the fish easily. I used a Silithid Hatchling.

After finishing off the fish, next you'll need to deal with Spirus. Keep attacking with your sandstorm pet until it drops, then bring out your counter to Spirus. You can either go mechanical so that his only offensive move does reduced damage to you, or bring out a pet with dragon moves to kill it faster. Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling is ideal as it covers both.

And last we have River, all his moves are aquatic, so a magic pet can work well here, or most aquatics will also do well. I went with a yellow bellied bullforg and finished him with a couple water jets after my dragonling had done some damage to him.

Comment by JackyC

I found that Lil Bling is absolutely amazing vs Wise Mari.

Start with Make It Rain, followed by Inflation. Use Blingtron Gift Package on cooldown. Refresh Make It Rain when there is still a debuff from Inflation.

You can repeat the above sequence on the 2nd of Mari's pets. If you find you need the heal from Blingtron Gift Package, you can wait for him to cast his Ward to force a miss.

This should be enough to kill the 2nd pet too. Eventually your Bling should die casting Inflation on the 3rd pet, at which point summon a Zandalari Anklerender and casting Black Claw, followed by Hunting Party.

3rd pet wasn't required for me.

Comment by SlydeRule

My Qiraji Guardling soloed Carpe Diem and was still at full heath, even though I had 3 misses with Crush. After Carpe changed the weather I used Sandstorm to change it again. Carpe did very little damage to the Guardling, and the humanoid auto-healing more than made up for it. The rest of my team was an Emerald Proto Whelp and Magic Crawdad.

Comment by scottiegazelle

The attacks used the first time I've gone against this team (subsequent attempts will be used to verify, but feel free to comment if you go through a different pattern) are as follows:

Carpe Diem:
Round 1: Cleansing Rain
Round 2: Dreadful Breath
Round 3: Dreadful Breath
Round 4: Dreadful Breath

Note that Dreadful Breath is a humanoid attack, not aquatic; I never saw him use his aqua ability, making cleansing rain not a problem (unless you are throwing dots)

Spirus: - his attacks seem to change based on whether you are faster or slower than he is. My first attack was with a slower pet, my second with a faster one. That pet (flying, left over from the first boss) died and was replaced with a dragonling initially, though ultimately with a Mechanical Dragonling, which brought me ultimate success)

Round 1: Soul Ward when I was slower
* the second time I fought he led off with Arcane Blast when I was faster
Round 2: Healing Wave
* stayed the same the second time I fought
Round 3: Arcane Blast
*when faster, Soul Ward
Round 4: Arcane Blast
*stayed the same; then my pet died
Round 5: Healing Wave
*he blew Arcane Blast on my new pet here
Round 6: Arcane Blast
*and Healing Wave here
Round 7: Arcane Blast
Round 8: Arcane Blast
*Soul Ward; my dragonkin buff was up so I was about to hit him hard
Round 9: Healing Wave
*Arcane Blast
Round 10: Arcane Blast
Round 11: Arcane Blast

River:
Round 1: Whirlpool (cast)
Round 2: Dive
Round 3: Dive + Whirlpool both hit
Round 4: Pump
Round 5: Whirlpool (cast)
Round 6: Pump

Comment by dgnuff

Took me a while to get this worked out, Finally got him with this team.

Started with an Anubisath Idol. Open immediately with Sandstorm which will counter his cleansing rain. Being slower sometimes is an advantage. Then just repeat Crush until either his pet dies, or Sandstorm comes off cooldown, at which point recast it, and continue with Crush.

I kept the Idol in for a few rounds against Spirus, mostly to get it to burn a self heal and a block before sending in Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling. Open with Decoy, then use Breath except for when he puts up Soul Ward. Use Bombing Run in response to the ward, since the DPS loss to the block is minimal, and helps burst damage later.

Again, I kept the Dragonling in against River to get off another Bombing Run and a Breath before switching to Eternal Strider. Any strider type will do here. Use Pump, Water Jet, Pump, Water Jet, with Healing Wave as needed to stay alive.

Comment by watermen

This is definitely one of the most frustrating fight.

The frustrating part is Spirus, the magical pet, because he can block and heal at the same time.

Here is my set up, and none of them died.
1. Ashwing Moth or Brilliant Kalliri - easily beat Carpe Diem
2. Clockwork Gnome - This seems to be the best method to deal with Spirus, must have Turret to break his block, he will die once and revived.
3. Spirebound Crab - Whirlpool and Rush will finish the elemental pet.

I tried using Nexus Whelpling, Lil' Tarecgosa, none of it really work, even when it works you need some luck and some team member may died.

Comment by Dramfiolz

I two-petted this one with Crow and Scourged Whelpling. Keeping Darkness up just destroys Mari's team, which depends on weather and healing. My third pet was a mirror strider but it didn't see combat.

Comment by Aliandrin

I use an Azure Crane Chick (power breed) to start, which pops down the green carp rather well with just Quills.

Next out a nice Infinite Whelpling to deal with Spirus, who is your only major threat in this encounter. If he kills Spirus he also plows through River pretty well, as River is programmed to use whirlpool first and thus give you a turn to get in a nice juicy Early Advantage. When he dives I heal, allowing me to survive the dive and get another turn it to tail sweep before the whirlpool kills me.

Next up I use a Mongoose but honestly the Mongoose doesn't get to play much as River is almost dead by this point. You could probably use the previous two pokemon to two-pet this encounter but I really don't recommend it.

Comment by Molar

Scourged whelpling seems to be my all star against him.

Open with a moth ; don't bother using Cocoon strike since he dps all of your pets.
Switch to Scourged whelpling after Carpe Diem dies. Call Darkness, then spam Tail Sweep. He should be able to kill Spirus and damage River.
Clean up with a pet with aquatic attack, can be water strider, frog, wathever.
You could probably be able to clean up with your moth too, haven't tried it.

Comment by alfonzzo

Solo this fight with a Molten Hatchling

Slot 1: Leach Life
Slot 2: Cauterize
Slot 3: Magma Wave

Wise Mari's first pet is weak versus beast, so staying alive is easy. just spam Magma Wave and Cauterize, and throw in a Leach Life if he crits. You should never face the back pets, and finish at just about full health.

it does take awhile, and alas my back pets didn't fare so well...

EDIT: my breed was P/S, but for this strategy any breed will do.

Comment by dlbert2000

Quick 2-pet Kill Strategy

Gilnean Raven (Any breed) + Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling

Abilities:
Raven: Alpha Strike, Call Darkness, Nocturnal Strike
Mech. Dragonling: Breath, Thunderbolt, Decoy

Start w/ Raven
Alpha Strike 1st turn
Call Darkness 2nd turn to overwrite Cleansing Rain
Finish up w/ Nocturnal Strike & Alpha Strikes

When Spirus comes out, swap for Mech. Dragonling (who resists magic AND does bonus dmg vs magic)
Decoy 1st turn and on cooldown
Thunderbolt when Spirus uses Soul Ward (free damage on his back pet)
Spam breath in the meantime

As for River
Decoy on cooldown; he only uses hard-hitting, multi-round abilities so Decoy should block almost every single attack
Spam breath

Comment by 355273

I beat him with just one Onyxian Whelp, if you time your skills correctly it can be done:

Lift Off on his first pet then Tail Swipe and heal.
Try not to heal on his second pet, because the damage stacks very fast, just swipe him til he faints.
On the third pet heal on the first round, then lift off to avoid his Dive.

Unless you get a very bad rng, this should be the easiest of the three trainers.

Comment by frozenorange

I more or less 2pet this as I was exploring this fight (it's my first time in celestial tournament).

I played around with several strategies. I believe the absolute best way to counter Carpe Diem is with Anubisath Idol. Sandstormnot only removes cleansing rain, but almost entirely negates Dreadful Breath. It's also worth noting that Anubisath Idol can easily solo River, meaning if you have a pet that can solo Spirus, you can place a leveling pet in your 3rd slot (just make sure it has 350+ hp, maybe 800+ if elemental, to survive the backline damage from Carpe Diem).

I went into the fight with the following pets/abilities:
Slot 1: Anubisath Idol (Crush, Sandstorm, Deflection)
Slot 2: Tolai Hare (Flurry, Dodge, Burrow)
Slot 3: Mirror Strider (Water Jet, Healing Wave, Pump)

First Matchup: Carpe Diem vs. Anubisath Idol
Use Sandstorm first (carpe diem goes before idol) and then spam crush. Don't refresh Sandstorm as it will hinder your hare's ability to kill Spirus.

Finished him off at 100% hp due to Recovery and ~85% hp on my back line.

Second Matchup: Spirus vs Tolai Hare.
Round 1: (Swap in), Spirus uses Soul Ward
Round 2: Dodge, Spirus uses Arcane Blast (dodged).
Round 3: Flurry, Spirus uses Arcane Blast (dodged).
Round 4: Burrow, Spirus uses Arcane Blast (missed due to burrow).
Round 5: Burrow hits, Spirus uses Soul Ward.
Round 6: Flurry, Spirus uses Healing Wave.
Round 7: Dodge, Spirus uses Arcane Blast (dodged).
Round 8: Flurry, Spirus uses Arcane Blast (dodged).

His attack pattern seems to vary depending on his HP. I pretty much used Flurry unless I knew Soul Ward and Healing Wave were both on CD (or he wouldn't use HW because he was at high HP), then used Dodge>Burrow. With any kind of luck, you should be able to take down Spirus. I'm certain there are better pets to use here, but my collection of pets is fairly small at present, so I had to make do with what I had.

Third Matchup: River
Round 1: (Flurry or swap leveling pet), River uses Whirlpool
Round 2: (Swap in Anubisath Idol), River uses Dive.
Round 3: Deflect, River emerges from Dive (dodged); Whirlpool hits (dodged).

From here, prioritize sandstorm over crush, using Deflect when Whirlpool is about to hit.

Comment by PriestessAur

Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling is awesome on this fight. He can solo the last 2 pets. I use a Pterrordax to nuke down the fish, and don't bother with the weather. A strong flyer will work here, but Pterror's Feign Death lets you make a pet swap to the Dragonling for Spirus without taking damage. Just make sure your 3rd pet has 1400 hp or less.

Once the Mech is out, drop Decoy and spam Breath. Use Bombing Run when his Soul Ward is up. They both have a 3 round CD so Bombing Run will be up every time. The Dragonling will kill Spirus and once River comes out, drop decoy when its up and spam Breath. The Dragonling can take out both pets. However if you get bad RNG you will need to finish River off. If you used the Pterrordax, you can swap back to him, but I like to keep Ghaz'rooki in the 3rd slot and just finish River off with Swallow You Hole. If you don't have Gahz, you can also use an Eternal Strider. (Note: I use Spawn of G'nathus on Blingtron so don't recommend him for Wise Mari)

Summary:
Pterrordax Hatchling - Slicing Winds, Ancient Blessing, Feign Death
Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling - Breath, Bombing Run, Decoy
Gahz'rooki - Tail Slap, Swallow You Hole, 3rd slot doesn't matter

Comment by Vulpixie

My team:
Carpe Diem: Brilliant Kaliri (Crested Owl or Snowy Owl also acceptable) - Quills, Shriek, Predatory Strike
Spirus: Lil' XT (Landro's Lil' XT also acceptable) - Zap, Repair, XE-321 Boombot
River: Emperor Crab (Fishy or Purple Puffer also acceptable) - Surge, Healing Wave, Whirlpool

Hope it helps!

Comment by jaxsonbateman

My personal team, using pets I had readily available:

Vs Carpe Diem, Blighthawk (Slicing Wind, X (I slotted Consume Corpse but probably wouldn't use this ability), Lift Off) - offers the flying moves to counter the aquatic type, and undead typing is awesome for first and second pets when your opponent isn't strong against it (that is, critter attacks)

Vs Spirus, Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling, upgraded to rare (Breath, Bombing Run, Explode) - has super effective damage and resistance against Spirus, as well as offering Bombing Run to set up delayed damage that should land on River, and Explode for when he's about to die - again, probably knocking some life off of River

Vs River, Viscidus Globule (Acid Touch, Poison Spit, Creeping Ooze) - great for elementals that deal aquatic damage, the Globule has two aquatic dots for super effective damage, while resisting aquatic attacks thanks to being a Magic pet.

Comment by smetia

Wildhammer Hatchling for the aquatic :Flock and slicing winds obliterates him.You can use any similar pet.
Scourge whelpling :Plagur Blood use death and decay when he phases after spam tail swipe.

Swamp croaker from Thunder Isle use Croack ,water jet and bubble to block 2 of his attacks.

Comment by thulsadoom

my team

25 rounds.

I didn't have the Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling. Instead I used the Scoured Whelpling (Tail Sweep, Call Darkness, Plagued Blood).

Opened with Idol and Sandstorm. Crush until Carpe Diem is dead (round 5). Swap to Scourged Whelpling and Call Darkness. Tail Sweep, Plagued Blood, another Tail Sweep (x2). Damned. Tail Sweep. Scourge and Spirus both die. Swap to Idol. Crush (x2) Deflect Whirlpool and Dive. Crush, Sandstorm, Crush, Deflect Whirlpool. Crush (x2). Idol dies. Switch to Bullfrog. Tongue Lash for the win.

Comment by 2picnic

2-petted with rare quality Ikky and Magic Lamp (any magic pet might work).

Send out Ikky first, Black claw > quills x2 will kill the carp. Sometimes you'll get unlucky with quills and only hit twice both times, in which case you might need to restart. When he sends out his second pet, black claw > flock, that'll kill him.

After that its just a matter of using a pet which can tank the water elemental's attacks and kill it - I used magic lamp since it can purge whirlpool and heal itself, nothing too complicated.

Comment by Intruder313

I read post after post suggesting pets I don't have then just tried my luck with the following, which was a fairly easy win:

Kun-Lai Runt (2,2,2)
Servant of Demidos (1,2,2)

The Runt killed the first 2 pets though it was very annoying that every time I used Deep Freeze the enemy simply swapped that pet out. Consider swapping that ability.

Servant killed the last pet easily and finished on over 50% health.

Comment by roeevv

2-pet strategy for the weekly trio:

Wise Mari
Anubisath Idol (1,1,1)
Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling (1,1,2)

* Open with Anubi - use Sandstorm on CD, and Crush for the rest of the time.
* Change to Dragonling for the second boss - use Decoy on CD, and Breath for the rest of the time.
* Dragonling should do all the way to finish third boss, if it didnt bring Anubi back.

Blingtron 4000
Pandaren Water Spirit (1,2,1)
Teroclaw Hatchling (1,2,2)

*For first fight use Water Spirit - Whirlpool > Dive > Water Jet X2
*For the other two fights - use Teroclaw while always keeping its health above 50% (heal and Dodge from time to time).

Shademaster Kiryn
Ashstone Core (2,2,1)
Teroclaw Hatchling (2,2,2) - The one from previous fight should do, even without full hp. Just remember to change to Alpha Strike.

*This fight is a bit more complicated, see full details in here, or use THIS if you have Sister of Temptation (better).

Good luck!
