Beasts of Fable

The initial pass on the Beasts of Fable took a couple tries for some, but for most of them I guessed pretty well.  I love my Infinite Whelpling.

  • No-No: Infinite Whelpling, Silver Dragonhawk Hatchling
  • Lucky Yi:  Infinite Whelpling, Mr. Grubbs
  • Greyhoof:  Infinite Whelpling, Mechanical Squirrel
  • Skitterer Xi'a:  Infinite Whelpling, Silver Dragonhawk Hatchling
  • Gorespine:  Anubisath Idol
  • Ti'un the Wanderer:  Infinite Whelpling
  • Kafi:  Fluxfire Feline, Robo-Chick, Mechanical Squirrel
  • Dos-Ryga:  Infinite Whelpling, Silver Dragonhawk Hatchling, Wildhammer Gryphon Hatchling
  • Nitun:  Cinder Kitten, Disgusting Oozeling, Infinite Whelpling
  • Ka'wi the Gorger:  Cinder Kitten, Disgusting Oozeling, Infinite Whelpling
Even with the nerf to the Anubisath Idol's Deflection (it was Reflection), he's still pretty strong.  There are several aquatics, and the Silver Dragonhawk Hatchling's Quills are really useful even when it doesn't go first.

I excised the Cinder Kitten from the second pass through, mostly because he makes such sad, sad, mewing sounds when he gets hit.  He's a total glass cannon, too - you'll get to hit hard with him maybe twice before he's dead on these guys.

One fight I haven't figured out how to do differently is Kafi - I'm still having to stack mechanical pets for him.  He eats the Anubisath Idol too quickly, and even with the critter's stun duration reduction, they still didn't make a dent like Wind Up or the Fluxfire's Supercharge + Pounce combo does.
