Pet battles are a fun and rewarding way to spend time in World of Warcraft. They can be a great way to level up your pets, earn rewards, and just have some fun. If you're new to pet battles, this guide will help you get started.

How to Start a Pet Battle in WoW

Choosing Your Pets

The first step to starting a pet battle is to choose your pets. You can have up to three pets in your party, and each pet has its own strengths and weaknesses. When choosing your pets, you'll want to consider the following:

  • Type: Pets are divided into three types: beast, flying, and magic. Each type has its own strengths and weaknesses.
  • Abilities: Each pet has its own unique abilities. When choosing your pets, you'll want to consider the abilities that will be most effective against the pets you're likely to face.
  • Stats: Pets have three stats: health, attack, and speed. Health determines how much damage a pet can take, attack determines how much damage a pet can do, and speed determines who attacks first.

Finding Pet Battles

Once you've chosen your pets, you can start looking for pet battles. Pet battles can be found in a variety of locations throughout the world, including:

  • Pet trainers: Pet trainers can be found in most major cities. They will offer you a variety of pet battles, and you can earn rewards for defeating them.
  • Wild pets: Wild pets can be found all over the world. You can challenge them to a pet battle by right-clicking on them.
  • Pet dungeons: Pet dungeons are special instances that are designed for pet battles. You can find pet dungeons in a variety of locations throughout the world.

Battling Your Pets

When you start a pet battle, you'll be presented with a grid of nine squares. Your pets will occupy three of the squares, and your opponent's pets will occupy the other three. The goal of the battle is to defeat your opponent's pets before they defeat yours.

To attack, simply click on one of your pets and then click on one of your opponent's pets. Your pet will then use one of its abilities to attack the opponent's pet. You can also use items to heal your pets or buff their abilities.

The battle will continue until one side's pets have all been defeated. If you win the battle, you'll earn rewards such as experience, gold, and pet supplies.

Tips for Pet Battles

  • Use the right pets for the job. Consider your opponent's pets and abilities when choosing your own pets.
  • Use your abilities wisely. Each pet has its own unique abilities. Make sure you're using the abilities that will be most effective against your opponent's pets.
  • Keep your pets healthy. Use items to heal your pets when they're injured.
  • Don't give up. Even if you're losing, don't give up. You can still win the battle if you play strategically.
