5.3 Beasts of Fable are driving you crazy? Don't worry, Littlest Pet Shop has it covered for you!
In this guide, you will find some tips and strategies to defeat the Elites
without going nuts. Although I cannot guarantee a 100% success rate, since RNG
still plays a role against the Fables, these small tricks will make your life considerably easier. Of course, any suggestion, question or input is welcomed!
The guide is divided into three parts, each one covering one daily quests, and each pet has his own section. This post will focus on the first book, aka on Nitun, Ka'wi, Dos-Ryga and Kafi. The other two books will be avaiable soon.
BEASTS OF FABLE BOOK I
NITUN
Nitun is a giant tanuki located just south of Sri-La Village, in the
Jade Forest. He is a critter with 1840 health, 606 power and 329 speed (reduced
to 230 when prowling). His abilities are Rake, Prowl and Ravage. Nitun hits
very hard and he also heal for about 1/3 of his health, when his opponents die from Ravage. Because of this, there is one golden rule for this fight: your
pets can never die.
As scary as it may sounds, defeating Nitun is in reality very easy once
you use the appropriate pets and play relatively safe. Relatively safe
means that you have to use wisely the switch option to swap off your active pet
when you esteem that the next blow will kill him. Despite being a critter,
Nitun only uses beasts' abilities, which means that you want to use Flying pets to profit from the 33% reduced damage. Keep
in mind that Nitun hits for approximately 400 non-critical against Flying pets.
Choose Flying pets that have Thrash (and possibly Lift-Off) in their arsenals, so that you will have good survivability AND very
good damage. This kind of pet is very common in the world, thus you should easily find one that suits your needs.
Concerning breeds, I personally favor pure stats (such
as S/S, P/P or H/H) and to make this fight even easier, I usually take with me three S/S,
but that's absolutely not mandatory. Pick pets with higher speed than Nitun (329) - even without the Flying racial boost - or that can cast Adrenaline Rush. Alternatively, if you don't really have any of these
breeds and cannot be arsed to farm for them, make sure you chose a P or a H
breed instead of a balanced breed (B/B). It goes without saying that your pets
must be level 25 and of rare quality. If you don't know your pet's breed, download and
install the addon Battle Pet BreedID.
Here a short list of pets that have Trash and can be S/S breed:
- Imperial Eagle Chick
- Polly
- Parrot
- Sandy Petrel
- Sea Gull
- Tickbird Hatchling
- White Tickbird Hatchling
- Senegal
- Cockatiel
Now, about the fight itself, I sadly cannot provide a round
per round recap, since Nitun don't use his abilities in a fixed
order. As a rule of thumb, you should open with Lift-Off and then just Trash,
but you can also stick to Trash.
In alternative, you can use Humanoids that have Triple Snap and Deflection (or similar offensive + defensive abilities) such as Flayer Youngling and Lil' Bad Wolf (Claw/Pounce and Dodge), but they will take regular damage from Nitun (around 600) since his abilities are beast-type and not critter.
KA’WI THE GORGER
Ka’wi the Gorger is a critter located in the Jade Forest. He has 2020
health, 615 power and 281 speed, which means that he hits very hard. His
abilities are Moth Balls, Super Sticky Goo and Chew. Despite having a lot of
power, Ka'wi does not have healing or defensive moves, therefore he is very
very easy to defeat.
Moth Balls is the ability that he will use the most, so you need to
counter it in order to win this fight. The best way to do so is to let
Ka'wi suicide himself via Brittle Webbing. This means that your team will
consist of three cute spiders (of any breed, but really: the more powerful, the
better). Basically, Brittle Webbing deals strong damage every time Ka'wi hits
you and since Moth Balls is a multiple-hit move, he will die pretty
quickly. Brittle Webbing also has great sinergy with Spiderling Swarm, doubling its damage.
Long story short, 3x (Brittle Webbing + Spiderling Swarm) is your
winning combo. Enjoy =)
DOS-RYGA
Dos-Ryga is the fish everyone hates. Not only because he looks like the
fishing carps every collector still has nightmares about, but also because he
heals SO MUCH. Dos-Ryga is located in Kun-Lai Summit, is an aquatic pet (no
shit!) with 1942 health, 559 power and 296 speed. His abilities are Frost
Breath, Whirlpool and Healing Wave. Just like every other Elite pet, he hits
very hard and heal even more.
To defeat Dos-Ryga, you need to:
1.
Counter his healing ability: Call Darkness or Darkflame work wonder.
2.
Avoid Whirlpool's damage: Lift-Off is your new best friend.
Since Dos-Ryga is an aquatic pet, it makes perfectly sense to fight him
with flying-type pets. Now, Crow is the only mandatory pet for this strategy.
Besides him you can use whichever flying pet you prefer, just make sure those
you pick have Lift-Off and are still faster than Dos-Ryga when the
Flying-racial is off (aka, faster than 296). I personally use Crow, Imperial
Eagle Chick and Pterrordax Hatchling (because of Flyby).
The fight goes something like this (again, I cannot give you the exact
round per round recap): I open with Crow and cast Call Darkness followed by
Nocturnal Strike. Then, I switch to Pterrordax Hatchling and immediately hit
Lift-Off (there should be a Whirlpool up to avoid). At this point, Darkness is
about to fade away, thus I switch back to Crow and recast it. I then use
Nocturnal Strike and Alpha Strike until Crow is dead (he will soak up a
Whirlpool damage before dying). Once that happens, I switch back to Pterrordax
Hatchling, hit Flyby and use Lift-Off. Once Pterrordax dies, Imperial Eagle
Chick will finish Dos-Ryga off.
Unless RNG really bitches you, this strategy works just fine. However,
it may take you some tries to get the hang of it. It is very important to time Call Darkness correctly: it must be up the entire fight.
Alternatively, you can also use Gilnean Raven for Call Darkness and
Nevermore. If you can time Nevermore to block Frost Breath, Dos-Ryga will be
forced to skip some rounds since Frost Breath is his only spammable ability.
If you happen to be lucky enough to still have a S/S Gilnean Raven, pair him up
with Crow and Imperial Eagle Chick (or any other fast Flying pet). Played
properly, you will be able to use Nevermore twice and always have Call Darkness
up. Dos-Ryga will hate you!
KAFI
Compared to the previous Elites, this pet is incredibly easy. Kafi is a
beast with 1961 health, 596 power and 292 speed. His abilities are Gnaw,
Headbutt and Leap. Headbutt can occasionally stun your pets, but given the
diminishing return and the immunity buff changes, this is not really a problem.
Kafi can also gain speed for one round, again: not a big deal.
The obvious choice here is to go with Mechanicals, preferably
hard-hitting ones. I use Cogblade Raptor (S/S breed), Clockwork Gnome and
Lil’XT. However, any other mechanical will work just fine.
If you don't have it yet, look for a fast Cogblade Raptor. Besides
dealing very good damage; always going first (Overtune, just in
case); with Exposed Wounds he can also debuff his enemies to take more damage .
To defeat Kafi, open with Cogblade Raptor, apply Exposed Wounds and then
just Batter until Cogblade dies. Make sure you have reapplied Exposed Wounds
before letting him die. Clockwork Gnome's turn: do a full Launch Rocket, then
Metal Fist. At this point, Kafi should be nearly dead: finish him off with your
last pet.
