Xu-Fu's Pet Battle Strategies

Quick Info:

Article maintained by:

Last updated 2020-01-08

The Celestial Tournament is a special instance and by most seen as the pinnacle of pet battle challenges.
You can do it once a week and inside, you will face three pet battle masters, followed by the four Celestials to fight against. The three masters change every week and there's a total of three sets of them rotating through.

Doesn't sound that hard, but what makes it tricky is that once you're in, you cannot heal your pets anymore! That makes planning ahead very important.

Unfortunately, the Celestial Tournament planner that was here previously created years ago and not updated to support the newer features of Xu-Fu's, such as required breeds, user created strategies strategie or family specific pets.
Due to its age, this tool will not be updated anymore. There are plans to replace it with a new dungeon helper tool eventually. Sorry for the trouble!

Same as with a dungeon. You can right click either the dungeon eye on your mini-map, or your character portrait, and select 'Leave Instance'.

just did my first trip in there. did the 3 masters for Elekk adventure at the same time. As pointed out in this thread, Mr.Bigglesworth soloed Yu'la pretty easily. i didn't know i would get 2 more coins for first completition, i must have missed that. Now i just have to decide which pet to get first lol thanks all.

If the answer is anything other than Xu-Fu, you're on the wrong site.

I think the devs have been upping the Celestials - I find Yu'la is crazy damage, but figured out 3 snails ( lvl 25 acid goo and dive for sure ) take down Chi Chi very effectively. Any advise for Yu'la is very appreciated!

I always just used Mr. Bigglesworth for Yu'la. Easy.

You need 2 Scourged Whelplings, 2 Anubisath Idol and 2 Darkmoon Tonks to use this strategy guide.

Funny, I don't have 2 of any of those, and have still used this guide with success 10 times so far (2 coins to go for my final pet).

Any updates on the blank page at the end of setting up the planner? I add all of my options, then get a page with some instructions and an edit button, but no list of pets

I'm afraid not. I have very little time to work on Xu-Fu right now and still a whole bunch of smaller fixes to go through before I can focus on another bigger feature like the dungeon guides, sorry.

With the kind of quality work that you put into this planner, I would love to see what your doing as a dungeon guide. Is that published? If so, where can I see it?

So far it's only a concept in my head :S
I use this devlog to keep track of all my tasks and such, if you're curious about what's upcoming and what I'm working on:

It's a lot of text though ^^

I am so sad, the planner is broken and I have lost my teams from rematch with the new patch. My backup is also broken.

I can't make new teams with the planner, or check out individual strats.

Do you think it will be possible to fix your fantastic planner again?

After reloading and sweet talking the planner for a while I got access to the individual strats.
You saved my bacon again, thank you.

Hey! I just tested the planner and it was working fine for me :-)
Are you using an old planner ID perhaps? That might be the reason for it. Worst case you might have to do the planning part again :/ Sorry about that

I'm having same issue. Tried to access my strategies on both explorer and safari, both browsers return the same screen.

I'm having the same problem. Went through planning and my overview page just has a button to edit setup.

I am also having the same issue. I just went thru the planning phase and get the same screen as show above once i try to get to the overview. I am using chrome (is this the wrong browser?). I'm willing to accept user error, but would love a shove in the correct direction. Thanks for all your hard work and effort, this site has been very helpful with so many of my battles up to the celestial tournament.

Same exact problem! Glad it's not just me.

Definitely not a user problem. It's a bug in the page :/ And one that eludes me so far. Sorry for the trouble - best check the strats individually for now

For some reason, even when I updated my pets' collection everywhere here, this planner is still showing I"m missing Darkmoon Tonk, which I have for a long time on lvl 25. Planner however marks is as "Missing"

Is it perhaps required 2 times in the same strategy? That's most often the case when this happens

On the main Celestial Tournament dungeon page, is there a way for the list of your pets compared to what is needed to show what specific breed of that pet is needed, if it calls for it in the strategies? I'm not sure how plausible it is, but I know one of the zandalari pets needed Speed and mine did not have it unfortunately.

I'm using the list as a guide to what I need to obtain/level up still and think it would be a nice addition, if possible. Thanks for all you do!

Hey!

Unfortunately this tool is way older than the newer parts of the page, which include breed requirements and such. It will be a larger undertaking to update the celestial tournament and right now my focus is on getting ready for the next addon. Meaning, it will probably not happen anytime soon, sorry :/

Celestial tournament planner stopped working for me this week. I am getting errors like Warning: mysqli_num_rows() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli_result, boolean given in /kunden/426045_85652/webseiten/Petguide/classes/ct.php on line 2464

Alternative 3 was a fail - my ankleender died before it could start the fight - guess it needs to be faster than Xu-Fu - this rendered this option a total fail as all these pets got killed. Devised another setup With:

Darkmoon Zeppelin 222 - decoy, flyby, explode - zepp dies
Ikky 111 - Black claw, flock - ikky dies
Stonegrinder 121 - Scrreching gears finished off Xu-Fu

Hi there, I'm new to the site which looks great btw, and can't wait to start building a team for the Celestial Tournament, and though it's probably obvious, I can't find which actual breeds to use in the lists of pets you suggest, I've got lots of the listed pets but some are low level & don't really want to spend time levelling the ones which are wrong breeds.
Thanks Les
