Lil' Deathwing

Battle Pet· Classic / TBCPROMOTIONDragonkin type
Promotion

From Anniversary Gift. Nations tremble under his shadow - the Destroyer, the one-time Aspect of Earth, and the monster responsible for breaking Azeroth asunder. Now in a... Dragonkin type. I like battle'ing with Lil' Deathwing. Most enemies never saw Elementium Bolt coming!

Lil' Deathwing is a travel-sized version of the Destroyer himself, obtained from the Anniversary Gift promotional reward.

Guide awaiting review

1

Open Your Anniversary Gift

Claim your Lil' Deathwing by opening the Anniversary Gift from your promotional rewards.

2

Start With Elementium Bolt

In pet battles, open with Elementium Bolt — it takes 3 turns to activate but deals damage equal to 2 attacks and stuns the enemy, making it a powerful opener to set up your burst window.

3

Use Barrel Roll Early

Barrel Roll increases subsequent attack damage by 25% for 3 turns, so casting it early maximizes the damage bonus across your hardest-hitting moves like Tail Sweep and Elementium Bolt.

4

Abuse Tail Sweep's Bonus Damage

Tail Sweep deals standard damage plus additional damage when Lil' Deathwing is slower than the opponent — which is typical — effectively adding an extra hit's worth of damage each cast.

5

Try a Swap Combo for Big Hits

Cast Elementium Bolt, then swap to a pet with a 100% damage increase ability such as Core Hound Pup, which can amplify the Bolt's impact and potentially one-shot many enemy pets.

Tips

  • Lil' Deathwing has a very high attack stat but low health, so prioritize dealing damage quickly rather than surviving long engagements.

  • He performs best in PVE pet battles where enemy moves are predictable — Call Darkness, Tail Sweep, and Elementium Bolt together leave no weak turns in his rotation.

  • In PVP, avoid opponents running burrow or dodge moves, as these will waste your Elementium Bolt stun and negate much of his damage output.
