This dapper fellow's speech seems to reference the famous Old Spice Commercial.

Comment by 215234

His team consists of Syd (magic), Mr. Pointy (Beast), Otto (Beast)

I used the following team:

Onyxian Whelpling - Tail Sweep, Healing Flames, Liftoff
Blue Clockwork Rocket Bot - Missle, Minefield, Launch Rocket
Menagerie Custodian - Zap, Shock and Awe, Ion Cannon

Syd is fast so it begs to be countered by a Tail Sweep. He has a whirlpool which is counterd by Liftoff.

The second pet can be other mechanical pets, i choose to use a Minefield becuase the third pet is a Beast as well and will take damage upon entering. And Launch Rocket has a big damage hit even if Mr. Pointy has his shield up, but you can time it so the Rocket hits when the shield times off.

As for the last pet, again most mechanicals will do. Even Ottos' healing ability upon causing damage, is no match to high damage abilities like Shock and Awe and Ion Cannon.

Felt bit too easy doing it, but i guess the main issue might be Syd's 2 round block ability that you have to take in mind.

The pet reward isnt 100%...same as the Darkoom eye.

Good luck <3

3 man Strat – Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling – 122, Tranquil Mechanical Yeti – 111, and Darkmoon Tonk - 111.

Start off with Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling and immediately Breath because Syd will change up his starting move often. It’s better to have a Breath blocked than your 4 round cooldown Thunderbolt. If Syd Bubbles first round, then throw up your Decoy, but if not, then hit him with a Thunderbolt. Spam him with Breath until he falls, and try to get your Darkmoon Tonk in before the Whirlpool hits and roots your Dragonling.

Next up is Mr. Pointy. Immediately use Lock-On, and then once more for half of Mr. Pointy's health. Next up shove a Shock and Awe up his tail-end, and then spam Missile until either your Darkmoon Tonk or Mr. Pointy falls. If Tonk dies before Pointy, then bring in Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling again, and throw down another Decoy, before bringing in your Tranquil Mechanical Yeti.

Metal Fist Pointy until he is a corpse, then when Otto switches in, immediately Supercharge, followed up with a Call Lightning, and spam Metal Fist until Otto is sent to the great Guernsey grotto in the sky.

The reason I opted for Lock-On rather than Ion Cannon is because of the two rounds of Recharge that comes with it. These pets hit like trucks and 2 rounds spent recharging would likely lose the fight for you.

I was just wondering if with this new pet battle daily, what would happen the the old one's drop/darkmoon eye

Comment by verduran

If anyone is as lazy as me and didn't want to bother swapping to a different team when farming both trainers dailies, here is the setup I used to farm both.

Spawn of Onyxia :
Tail Sweep,Scorched Earth,Lift-off

Iron Starlette :
Wind-Up,Toxic Smoke,Supercharge

Darkmoon Tonk :
Missile, Shock and Awe, Ion Cannon

The fights themselves should be quite straight-forward with the skill sets listed. Just use Lift-off to avoid Syd's first Whirlpool and use Ion Cannon as the finisher against the last opponent and you'd be fine.

#Edited(3/11): After another try on Christoph VonFeasel, I'd have to say I'm not that satisfied with Zeppelin's damage against Mr. Pointy. It may take another try if you get really unlucky on crits and misses during the fight.
Theoretically, any mechanical pets with decent damage versus beasts should work as well. (Unfortunately I have yet to have another high level ones in my possession)
Note that if the initial hit of Bombling Run gets fully blocked (by Mt. Pointy's shield), the debuff won't land as well. So you'll have to adjust to that.
#Edited(4/11): Swapping Breath with Tail Sweep.
#Edited(13/12): Swapping Healing Flames with Scorched Earth (to better deal with magic pets' racial ability. Also Darkmoon Zeppelin to Iron Starlette (given how OP it is, everyone should have leveled one up by now)

Comment by Paulosio

My team:

Clockwork gnome (metal fist, Build Turret)
Tranquil mechanical yeti (call lightning, Metal fist)
Menagerie Custodian (zap, shock and awe, ion cannon)

Start with clockwork gnome and use turret. It's 3 sttacks will immediately remove the 1st enemy pets 2x block ability.

After your turrent is down immediately Switch to tranquil mechanical yeti and use call lightning which will amplify your turrent damage. Use metal fist to finish off the 1st enemy pet.

When the 2nd enemy pet comes use metal fist as long as you safely can without risking dying and then use Ion Cannon on the last try before you think you will die. You should almost kill the 2nd pet with ion cannon.

Switch back to clockwork gnome and finish off the 2nd enemy pet with iron fist (don't turret because the enemy pet uses a shield). Keep clockwork gnome in to do some damage on the final enemy pet till you die.

Finally switch to menagerie custodian. Shock and awe, zap (if needed) and finish him off with ion cannon.

I found this very reliable and was finishing with my menagerie custodian on full or almost full health.

Comment by Kurasu

The team I use for both the Darkmoon people:

Onyxian Whelpling (P/P): Tail Sweep, Healing Flame, Lift-Off
Lil' Bling (S/S): Inflation, Blingtron Gift Package, Make It Rain
Tranquil Mechanical Yeti (H/B): Metal Fist, Call Lightning, Ion Cannon

Against Sid: Tail sweep twice. Lift-off when there is 1 turn left on the Whirlpool. The descent removes the bubble. Tail sweep until dead.
Against Mr. Pointy: Tail sweep until dead. There should be 2 rounds left on the body shield. Use Call Lightning. If there are 3 (due to bad RNG crits) use Metal Fist once, *then* Call Lightning. Immediately swap to Lil' Bling. Use Make It Rain, then Inflation. Two rounds of that should be all it takes to kill the horn head.
Against Otto: Continue using Inflation; drop another Make It Rain if you have it. Easy win from here on out: Blingtron should finish him off. If RNG doesn't favor you, Bling may die; if he does, one Ion Cannon will finish off Otto.

Comment by IMissThottbot

I use the same team for both trainers.

Onyxian Whelpling
Tail Sweep, Healing Flame, Lift-Off

Ominous Flame
Burn, Scorched Earth, Conflagrate

Cogblade Raptor
Batter, whatever, Exposed Wounds

With both trainers, use them in that order. Tail Sweep the first enemy to win, even after the changes to it, healing when necessary or, if you can get a Lift-Off to avoid a big hit, do it.

With the Flame, Scorched Earth when you need to score a big hit, Conflagrate too, Burn for filler.

Cogblade Raptor is an excellent finisher for both Beasts (monkey/cow). Exposed Wounds and Batter to victory, though you could toss in a Screech or Overtune if you're feeling lucky I guess.

Comment by oneru

Iron Starlette (from the Warlords of Draenor pre-event) makes short work from his two beast pets.

Comment by Kathulu2

just completed the quest with no problems with the following

--Onyxian Whelpling
-- Tail Sweep, Healing Flame, ~~Fly~~ Lift-Off
--Lil' XT
-- Zap, Heart-Broken, Tympanic Tantrum
--Iron Starlette
-- Wind-up, Power-ball, Super Charge

Comment by thulsadoom

My Team

21 Rare Onyxian Whelpling (Tail Sweep, Healing Flame, Lift-off)
25 Rare Darkmoon Tonk (Missle, Stun and Awe, Ion Cannon)
25 Rare Clockwork Gnome (Metal Fist, Repair, Build Turret)

Sid's bubble lasts for two attacks now. Whelpling's Tail Sweep is strong against Sid. Use Lift-Off to avoid the first Whirlpool. Sid dies in round 5. Swap to Tonk to soak second Whirlpool. If Pointy gets stunned, he will swap to Otto, and you should swap to Clockwork.

21 rounds. Whelpling leveled to 23. Second day in a row. I used this line-up until the Whelpling leveled to 25.

Comment by bryndylan

This worked for me on the first try:

Landro's Lil' XT with Zap, Heartbroken, Tympanic Tantrum
Lil' Tarecgosa with Breath, Wild Magic, Arcane Explosion
Darkmoon Tonk with Missile, Shock and Awe, Ion Cannon

Start off with Zap, then heartbroken, then Tympanic Tantrum until XT is dead. Syd was still alive at this point, so I switched in Lil' Tarecgosa. Used Wild Magic, and just kept using Arcane Explosion. By the time Tarecgosa was dead, Syd and Mr. Pointy were both dead, and Otto had very little health left, and was easy pickings for the Darkmoon Tonk.

Comment by Viprime

Killable with just two pets if you're lucky.

Scourged Whelpling kills Syd with just Tail Sweep and gets some damage on the next pet.

A S/S breed Sky Bo kills the last two pets with Decoy, Sticky Grenade and Screeching Gears.

Any sort of mechanical or leveling pet should be able to finish off the cow should Sky Bo die.

Comment by Thrope

A quick forfeit shows the true speed of his pets (they're not correct yet on Wowhead). The following pets are readily available, but I've explained the strat as best I can in case you need to tailor the information for a different line-up. (This one uses Gilnean Raven/Crow, Pet Bombling, and any rabbit.)

Syd is a magic pet, and fast.
Any rabbit will do so long as it's at least a partial S breed (speed of 322).
- Flurry is suited to Syd's magic type (magic pets resist large hits; multi-strikes are better). It will also wipe out Syd's Bubble in a single turn. Start using it immediately, as Syd won't damage you for the 1st two rounds.
- Burrow just before the 1st Whirlpool hits. This ensures burrow is off cooldown for Christoph's next pet.
- Dodge just before the next whirlpool, etc.

Mr. Pointy is a beast.
Now that Syd is dead, multi-strikes are bad due to Mr. Pointy's Trihorn Shield. Stick to larger, solid hits. That said, your rabbit can get a flurry in before his 1st shield, can dodge/burrow to last longer, and flurry again once the shield is down. Mr. Pointy can be < half health before your rabbit goes.

A bird will last longer as your 2nd pet, but I prefer Pet Bombling. The schematic is easily farmed from Mekgineer Thermaplugg or bought off the AH. All bomblings come in the same breed, which is fast enough for this fight. He MIGHT die to Mr. Pointy (if your rabbit fared poorly) but he'll set up the final pet for a quick win. If your bombling isn't handy, there are plenty of good pets with minefield that will do, though other choices will be slower than Christoph's last 2 pets (except a partial or better S breed Blue Clockwork with speed 289) and won't have the option to explode before death.
- Drop a Minefield for Christoph's 3rd pet to switch into.
- Zap through Mr. Pointy's shield. (Remember, no multi-strikes.) Launch Rocket, Missile, and Lock-On are good alternates if you're not using a bombling.
- Once your bombling has died its 1st death, explode. (Again, you SHOULD be exploding on the 3rd pet, unless your bunny didn't bunny so well this fight.)

Otto is another beast. There won't be much left of him now.
A bird is best here, as fliers will be resistant to Otto's Feed. Less damage to you = less healing for Otto. Crow or Gilnean Raven with at least a partial S breed (speed of 289) is perfect here. Dread Hatchling can have the same moveset, but due to its slower speed, it will have problems if it falls below 50% health.
- (Just in case Mr. Pointy didn't die, Peck him.)
- Call Darkness on Otto. I know, I know, "But it's weak against beasts!" Actually, you'd be surprised how hard it hits. Our flying type limits his healing. This limits it even more. It also sets us up perfectly for a...
- Nocturnal strike! If Otto actually lived through that, peck him some more.

Comment by cinzia

I defeat this guy very easily using this team :

Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling Using breath, thunderbolt, and decoy
Darkmoon Zeppelin Using Missile, Bombing Run, and Decoy
Lil' Bling Using Inflation, Extra plating, and make it rain

I start with the dragonling against Syd
I use Breath, Thunderbolt, Decoy, breath Spam until syd dies
Generally my dragonling will make it to face Mr. Pointy for one turn. I use breath.
Bring our Darkmoon Zeppelin for Mr. Pointy.
I use Decoy, Missile until his shield falls off. Bombing Run, missile until he is dead.
Bombing run will carry over to otto my zeppelin generally dies soon after meeting otto but I usually get one missile in. He will heal for about 400 that's fine.
Lil'blings time to shine.
I use extra plating, Inflation, and then make it rain.
Otto should be dead now :)

Hope this helps someone!

Comment by filletr0n

If by any chance you defeat Cristoph and decide to battle Jeremy before you deliver both quests, you'll probably see that Cristoph is gone and you can't turn in the quest. A simple relog will fix that.

Comment by Balgair

I've found the following team works for me:

Scourged Whelpling: Shadowflame, Death and Decay, Plagued Blood
Clockwork Gnome: Metal Fist, Build Turret
Cogblade Raptor: Batter, Exposed Wounds

Syd: use Scourged Whelpling, Shadowflame (or Tail Sweep, but mine is too fast so doesn't get the extra hit), put Death and Decay up while Syd has his bubble up, and continue Shadowflame spam till Syd dies.

Mr Pointy: Your Scourged Whelping should live long enough to eat the last Whirlpool from Syd, then when the whelpling is on its final turn after ressing, put Plagued Blood up. After dying, switch to Clockwork Gnome, and Build Turret, lots of nice heals from that Plagued Blood now! Metal Fist and Build Turret whenever off cd until Mr Pointy dies.

Otto: Continue with building turrets and metal fists until your Clockwork Gnome dies, then switch in Cogblade Raptor, and cast Expose Wounds first; I find that the turrets often finish Otto off at the end of the first turn, if not, one Batter certainly will.

Comment by 824134

I beat it first try I used Flayer Youngling, Swamp Moth and Feline Familiar. dualist pets with stuns or abillity avoidance works really well for this it seems. But if I had to prepare for this I would just use 3 mechanical pets as, he has one magic pet and 2 beast, which mechs counter easily.

Comment by 1010289

I've found a way to kill his team with 2 pets, allowing a third pet at any level to gain experience. I used the team three times with success so far. Despite its potency against this team, I have not used Iron Starlette for this fight yet since this strategy has been successful for me each time.

-Scourged Whelpling H/H Breed ONLY (Tail Sweep, Death and Decay, Plagued Blood)
-Mechanical Squirrel S/B Breed, upgraded to rare quality (Metal Fist, Extra Plating, Wind-Up)
-Any pet you wish to level

The enemy team's turns are predictable, so i was able to use the same rotation each time:

-Syd
Turn 1: Open with Scourged Whelpling. Cast Death and Decay.
Turn 2: Switch to Leveling Pet
Turn 3: Switch back to Scourged Whelpling. Syd's Bubble should be gone from Death and Decay.
Turn 4+: Tail Sweep until Syd dies.

-Mr. Pointy
Turn 1: Tail Sweep
Turn 2: Tail Sweep if Scourged Whelpling is still alive. Otherwise, switch to Mechanical Squirrel if Scourged Whelpling is dead and continue with turn 3.
Turn 3: Extra Plating
Turn 4: Wind-Up
Turn 5: Metal Fist
Turn 6: Wind-Up (Should kill Mr. Pointy)

-Otto
Turn 1: Wind-Up
Turn 2: Extra Plating (Otto will waste his Feed while he has full health)
Turn 3-5: Metal Fist
Turn 6: Wind-Up

Comment by Tarnish

Beat him first time out.
Got Sid almost all the way down with Emerald Whelpling and finished him off with Clockwork gnomes missle. Got the next down almost to dead and finished with Cogblade raptor. I thought I had lost but I cast repair during my 2nd turn and it hit just before I died the first time. Cow killed me, mech rez then I killed him.

Comment by Wren

My strategy is based purely on 50% RNG. I start with Nodrassil Wisp's blind (which will hopefully make all or at least most of the already reduced attacks miss), lightx2 to drop bubble shield in one round and arcane explosion to soften up the second guy before he's out to put up a shield. Once the first enemy pet is dead I then use Lil' Deathwing's catacylsm buffed with a roll (which will do nearly 1000 even through the second pet's DR shield) which should finish the second guy off if wisp was lucky enough to be alive after the first guy to do a bit more damage. Then against the cow its simply hoping Deathwing is up to take the darkmoon curse and MAYBE get a catacylsm off (not needed but helps) then finishing the cow with Chrominius with a howl + bite + surge of power (its important death wing takes the darkmoon curse or the surge of power probably wont do enough damage to finish off the cow before he heals up again). And thats my daily struggle.

Posting this here too just in case someone comes looking here;

Íf this character disappears from sight, then here's how to complete the quest;

Go to Menu-> key bindings -> targeting (scroll towards the bottom).
Find interact with target and set it your preferred key.
Back to game
Type /tar Chris (this should target the pesky rogue pet battler)
Press your previously set key.
Enjoy disappointing bag reward ;)

Comment by Erinyes

I started out fighting this battle with Scourged Whelpling (Uncommon P/S), Iron Starlette (P/S), and Rabid Nut Varmint 5000 (Uncommon P/S). My success rate was spotty, but if I followed a specific move sequence, I could pull it off:
Scourged Whelpling
Start with Plagued Blood, then Death and Decay, followed by Tail Whip. This first Tail Whip will be absorbed by Syd's Bubble. Keep using Tail Whip until Syd dies. If Syd crits you at any point, the whole strategy is shot, because you need the Whelpling to die to Mr. Pointy's first strike so that you can get in two Tail Whips on Mr. Pointy during the Whelpling's resurrection.

Once the Whelpling is dead, bring out the Iron Starlette. You need to get the speed advantage now. Powerball first, then Wind Up, Wind Up, until Mr. Pointy is very low. Finish him off with a Powerball (once his shield is done and his health is low). By now, the Starlette will be on its resurrection. You should still be able to do Wind Up, Wind Up on Otto (here's where the speed advantage is key).

After the Starlette is down, start the Varmint with Extra Plating, then just keep using Metal Fist until Otto goes down (if he goes down).

As I said, this team had a poor success rate for me, so I came here, read a few comments, and went to find a Lil' Bling on the AH. Got one for a good price, and he makes this sequence work every time. Lil' Bling's moves are simple: Extra Plating, Inflation, Make It Rain. The battle should be over by the end of that sequence.

I suppose if my Scourged Whelpling and Rabid Nut Varmint 5000 were Rares, I would probably have done better with that team. I only recently started learning and doing pet battles, so my pets are limited.

Update: I sold the Lil' Bling, and I had been having consistent success with the uncommon Rabid Nut Varmint 5000. It was always a close fight. Today I upgraded the Varmint to Rare, and it is not a close fight any more. The Varmint is now faster than Otto, and it had around 600 health when Otto died.

Onyxian Whelpling

feline familiar

Comment by siggboy

Just in case you are looking for an alternative to the above strategies, if you happen to have the following pets, this will work reliably (the pets are easy to get or reasonably cheap):

1. Emerald Proto-Whelp (I used a P/S breed, but probably P/P or P/H is better, since the extra speed does not make a difference against Syd).

Use Breath and Proto-Strike (the third ability does not matter, I picked Ancient Blessing, which you can even use in this fight but it won't make a difference to the outcome).

Open with Breath, he will Bubble, use Breath again (breaks one charge of Bubble). He will have put a Whirlpool under you. Use Proto-Strike, it will block his attack and Whirlpool, and break the second Bubble charge. Then continue to use Breath until Syd dies. The Proto-Whelp will now die from the second Whirlpool from Syd.

2. Lil' Bling (S/S)

Use SMCKTHAT.EXE, Extra Plating and Launch Rocket.

Use Extra Plating on cooldown, and either Launch Rocket or SMCKTHAT.EXE in between. Against Mr. Pointy, if his shield is about to expire (has 1 round left), you should build the rocket and then launch it the next turn. Use SMCKTHAT.EXE while he is shielded.

Lil' Bling should survive against Mr. Pointy and get a few hits in on Otto as well. When he dies, take out your

3. Gilnean Raven

Use Alpha Strike, Call Darkness and Nocturnal Strike. You should be able to easily finish off Otto with the raven.

(Most other flying pets will probably work as finishers, too, it doesn't have to be a raven. If it has Alpha Strike or a comparable ability, it should be strong enough.)

Comment by biggaz69

Found a good combo for me:

Pet One: Scourged Whelpling
Pet Two: Tranquil Mechanical Yeti
Pet Three: Cogblade Raptor

Christoph starts with Syd so I open with Scourged Whelpling using Plagued Blood, Death and Decay and then I finish Syd off with Tail Sweep.

Next is Mr. Pointy and he'll make short work of Scourged Whelpling so if possible, refresh PB or D&D. Bring in Tranquil Mechanical Yeti and start with Call Lightning then finish with Metal Fist. If possible save Ion Cannon for Otto.

Otto will finish off Tranquil Mechanical Yeti, so bring in Cogblade Raptor and use these abilities in this order to finish him off. Expose Wounds, Overtune and Batter.

So far I've had 100% success with this set up, hope this helps ^^

Comment by AyerLock

This method is similar to lyavanna's but with some added detail and an easier to get bot. No pets were actually harmed in this battle, however they were all upgraded to rare. Keep that in mind.

Pet 1: Spawn of Onyxia(2,1,1): Tail Sweep, Healing Flame, Lift-Off
Pet 2: Warbot(1,2,2): Missile, Minefield, Launch Rocket
Pet 3: Menagerie Custodian(1,1,2): Zap, Shock and Awe, Ion Cannon

Round by Round:

Round 1: Tail Sweep
Round 2: Tail Sweep (Will be blocked by Bubble if Syd is faster)
Round 3: Lift-Off (takeoff. The Water Jet hits but the Whirlpool misses.
Round 4: Lift-Off (landing)
Round 5: Tail Sweep
Round 6: Tail Sweep ( Syd dies. Whirlpool hits (rooted). Mr. Pointy comes out.)
Round 7: Healing Flame
Round 8: Tail Sweep (If possible. Your Spawn of Onyxia could be dead due to RNG this round, if so move on to Round 9.
Round 9: Minefield
Round 10: Launch Rocket (build)
Round 11: Launch Rocket (launch)
Round 12: Missile (Once again, your Warbot might die as well due to RNG by this point, but failsafe sends up the rocket anyways and you might/might not get off the Missile. If not, continue to round 13)
Round 13: If Mr. Pointy is still alive, hit him with a Shock and Awe. That should kill him. If he is dead, then Otto will have set off the Minefield and should die with a single Ion Cannon. If not, eat the recovery rounds of damage and hit him with Shock and Awe.
Round 14: Otto steaks for dinner.

Cristopher VonFeasel - 2 Pet Strategy Darkmoon Faire

Here is my 2 Pet Strategy for Cristopher VonFeasel from the Darkmoon Faire, you battle him on ever day the week that the Darkmoon Faire is in Town. I used the Bronze Whelpling & the Iron Starlet with my carry pet in the 3rd spot.

Bronze Whelpling - Tail Sweep, Early Advantage & Lift Off
Iron Starlet - Wind Up, Power Ball & Super Charge
Carry Pet

Real simple fight her, open vs Syd with the Bronze Whelpling using Tail Sweep constantly until the Syd's Whirlpool is about to hit you then yous Lift Off to avoid that damage. Continue Tail Sweep till he is dead. You should have a small bit of life left when My. Pointy enters, use Early Advantage on him, he will end you afterwards.Bring in your carry pet and take him right out, no move is necessary since your carry didn't start the fight. Bring in the Iron Starlet and use Power Ball to get the speed advantage. Now use wind up twice for the kill, if you had bad rng you may need to use a 2nd power ball to kill him off. Now Otto enters the battle use wind up, super charge and wind up to end this battle.You get like 4500 xp for a carry pet I believe.

The two pet battles in the Darkmoon Faire can only be done once per day per Blizzard account. I have 5 WOW accounts tied to one blizzard account. I can only do the pet battles once per day.

The other Darkmoon Faire dailies can be done once per WOW account.

Spirit of Competition 111 h/p (It's just a dragon with breath, liftoff, and heal.
Ancient Nest guardian 112 h/p
Clockwork Gnome 112 sb
All rare pets.

Attack with breath, use liftoff to dodge the whirlpool, heal once, enemy should die.
Keep Nest guards plating up, use wind up, (this is the same as launch rocket, 2 step big attack).
Clock work gnome use rocket launch, repair, keep attacking and you should win.
It was a little rng but I did get it in one attempt. Gnome lived with 50% health.

You want the squid to die before he gets a third whirlpool so the dragon needs to kill him or leave him barely alive.
You want pointy and the cow to die fast so big attacks are good. Damage reduction was helpful against pointy or he will just kill you too fast.

The same idea asA New Darkmoon Challenger!#comments:id=2421683
and bigrobertftw's posts just different bots and dragon.

Many people used iron startlette which I didn't have but I did find the chain to get it.

Even though you can take the quest, you can NOT do the quest with a starter account (as in: sub expired). And for some reason can't even abandon it afterwards :/

This and the other Darkmoon Pet battle are the most efficient means of getting tickets if you don't want to spend a lot of time at the Faire. Each account can get 15 tickets per day through the two pet battles, which takes no more than 5 minutes per day. 105 tickets per month for almost no work.

As of 12/6/20, Flurry no longer is able to break Syd's Bubble in one round. It now only counts as one attack being blocked each round. This effectively destroys any two-pet strategy that utilizes a Flurry pet. Whether or not this change is intended remains to be seen.

Beat it with Naxxy (halloween token pet) 1/x/2
Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling 1/1/2
Iron Starlette 1/x/1

Breathed down the Syd
Decoy and bombing runs for Pointy, a bombing run finished it off after dragonling died so Starlette will have to take a hit, in the meantime it can begin wind up
then just Supercharge and Wind-up to finish the cow.

Comment by mbelleyp

Since Shadowlands I believe, as JasperKazai pointed out there is no way for 1 flurry to break Syd's bubble, so the usual strat doesn't work anymore. This greatly reduced the strat's chance of success, which really frustrated me as it took me forever to win this battle.

So, I came up with a two pet carry strategy that has worked 6/6 for me so far.

The Team:

Iron Starlette (1,1,1) (P/P) (Might work with other breeds, but haven't tested it)
Naxxy (1,1,1) (H/H) (Works really well since he has high health pool to soak Syd's Whirlpool, an undead round and has a dragonkin ability that deals decent damage)
Carry Pet (must be able to take 105 damage as mechanical, 240 as flying or otherwise 160)

The Fight (Syd):

Powerball
Powerball
Switch to Naxxy
Spam Plague Breath until Syd dies. If Syd doesn't die somehow (has happened to me 1/6), just grab Iron Starlette and finish him off with Powerball

The Fight (Mr. Pointy):

If Naxxy is still alive, just use Plague Breath until death and switch to Iron Starlette
Wind-Up
Supercharge
Wind-Up

Mr. Pointy dies.

The Fight (Otto):

Switch to Carry Pet
Switch to Iron Starlette
Wind-Up
Supercharge
Wind-Up

Mr. Pointy dies.

Just did it with:

Lil' Bling (2,1,1)
Iron Starlette (1,1,2)
Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling (1,2,2)

I was struggling a bit with his first pet and I thought Clockwork Gnome would be very good, however I didn't have him so I used Lil'Bling which proved to be really good as well!

Comment by LStranger

It appears in 9.2 nothing from comments does work anymore. What works 100% for me now:
1) Lil' Bling (2,2,1)
2) Tranquil Mechanical Yeti (1,1,2)
3) Ancient Nest Guardian (1,1,2)

Comment by holdwine

This is an old strategy, but it works pretty consistently.

Scourged Whelpling 2, 2, 1
Cogblade Raptor 2, 2, 1
Clockwork Gnome 1 ,1, 1

1. Open with Scourged Whelpling against Syd. Just use Tail Sweep. It hits like a truck and should take him out, though it might be on the first or second hit after dying and resurrecting.
2. When Mr. Pointy comes into the fight, Cogblade Raptor's speed means you go first. So use Exposed Wounds immediately to get some extra damage on him after he puts up his shield. Then use Batter until he's dead.
3. With Otto, if RNG is in your favor, Cogblade Raptor might have lived long enough to put an Exposed Wounds on him. If so, you're golden. But regardless, build a Turret on your first turn. Then use Repair. Otto's going to knock a lot of your health off, but you will repair and when you get to move next, build another turret. Then use Metal Fist until Otto is dead.

Comment by kileytoo

Won four times with Ironbound Proto-Whelp and two Fledging Warden Owls. It's close so you must follow this strategy. Start with Tail Sweep, followed by Spiked Skin and then Ancient Blessing. Two more Tail Sweeps and the 1st pet will die. When the 2nd pet comes up, use Tail Sweep twice.

Comment by Darkdefender

Both quests were pretty easy to do with

Lil'Bling 1/1/2

Iron Starlette 1/1/2

Mechanical Pet Dragonling 1/1/2

Comment by Daefuitsusol

Clockwork Gnome (Metal Fist, Build Turret)
Emerald Proto-Whelp (Breath, Proto-Strike)
Tranquil Mechanical Yeti (Metal Fist, Call Lightning, Supercharge)

Turn 1: Build Turret
Turn 2: Switch Pet to Emerald Proto-Whelp (Turret pops Syd's bubble)
Turn 3: Proto-Strike (Avoids Syd's Whirlpool)
Turn 4: Proto-Strike hits Syd
Turn 5: Breath (Turret kills Syd. Mr. Pointy enters)
Turn 6: Switch Pet to Tranquil Mechanical Yeti
Turn 7: Supercharge
Turn 8: Call Lightning (Bye-bye Mr. Pointy. Otto enters)
Turn 9: Metal Fist (Yeti cannot swap yet due to being Rooted by Whirlpool hit)
Turn 10: Switch Pet to Clockwork Gnome
Turn 11: Build Turret (Stacking with Lightning Storm - enjoy the audio!)
Turn 12: Metal Fist
Turn 13: Metal Fist (Poor Otto)

You Win!
