Unborn Val'kyr can survive one crit from the Locust Swarm when you use a H/H breed. H/H also deals enough damage eliminating a bit of RNG from this strat :) (edited)

I don't know why the third slot is marked "25+". Sandcrawler has no backline attacks and the pet in that slot never sees combat, so any pet can go into that slot, although it won't level. Particularly, this is an easy and fairly reliable combo for Shadowbarb pet combat quests. (edited)

I did it like this (from Lazey but with the change to ikky added in between) and it works perfectly!

quit [self.aura(Undead:242).exists]
use(Curse of Doom:218)
use(Haunt:652)
change(Ikky:1532)
use(Flock:581) [enemy.aura(Black Claw:918).exists]
use(Black Claw:919)
change(next)

I won first time trying with this script

When Val'kyrs Haunt is successful, you have to choose a different pet. With Ikky in Slot#2 and change(next) at the end of the script you don't need another specific line for the Ikky swap.

I've added your script. Thank you.

Script would be something like this:

quit [ self.aura(Undead:242).exists ]
use(Curse of Doom:218)
use(Haunt:652)
use(Flock:581) [ enemy.aura(Black Claw:918).exists ]
use(Black Claw:919)
change(next)

Steps are not exactly reflecting what we'll see, maybe change them to:

Turn 1: Curse of Doom
Turn 2: Haunt
Bring in your Ikky
Turn 3: Black Claw
Turn 4-6: Flock

I would also include use(#1) as second-to-last in case Ikky dies and the Aqir Sandcrawler isn't finished off yet.

Had that happen a couple times and needed to bring in my back-up. (edited)

Works great, only thing is there is an RNG factor if "Haunt" misses like it did for me.

If your unborn is crit from "Locust Swarm" you have to restart; otherwise Haunt will miss.
