Who - Ahrbeez
What - Chitara's unbreakable shell takes 15* hits to break
Where - Bleeding Hollow, Wailing Tideway, Unbreakable WQ
When - Just after 4:00 PM server time
How - Chitara's Unbreakable Shell passive says they take 100% less damage until 5 attacks are made against them. 5 hits later the passive changes to say 4, 4 hits later it changes to 3, 3 hits later it says 2. My pet battle team dies before I can get it further.
*I haven't gotten 15 hits in yet, just using math to estimate based on what I've seen.
This pet buff is maybe not clearly worded, but the functionality seems intentional and the fight itself is very beatable.
If its intentional, the wording is very off and misleading. Would you mind telling me how you managed to beat it? My best attempt got to the second hit on the 2 hit armor. I was anticipating my Brilliant Bloodfeather's Quills to hit multiple times but each attack with it missed the first hit then it gave up.
Stampede moves win it pretty easily, not sure why it took me this long to figure it out. But rereading the buff, its definitely not working as intended.

chitara seems like an impossible foe, but if in fact is one of the easiest pets to kill.
You just need 3 moths with the skill moth ball (level 20 can do), they will destroy the shield and destroy the pet.
Good luck

Apparently a pet with Lightning Shield works...I started with Son of Skum and used that ability first and the boss died from that alone...i did no other damage. I don't know if it was intended for abilities like Lightning Shield to ignore the damage reduction shield, so maybe there are similair abilities to use with other pets.
Chitara can be beat with Garden Moth's "Moth balls" ability. (Or any moth pet with moth balls).
1. Garden Moth is flying, Chitara's beast type attacks are weak. You don't need your abilities to deal damage, you want to tank more hits.
2. Moth balls is a guaranteed 5 hits (iirc).
3. Garden Moth has a cocoon to protect itself, to get through Moth balls' cd.
I found that "Slicing wind" don't work, the attack stops at the first hit. DOT's don't work either, they get blocked.
Basically, my Garden Moth solo'd Chitara. I prepared a mechanical pet to deal damage after the shell is cracked, but apparently Chitara takes amplified damage after the shell cracks, the mechanical pet isn't needed. If you want to be extra secure, bring 3 moths.

Bloodgazer hatchling > cower > falcosaur swarm > falcosaur swarm > falcosaur swarm > falcosaur swarm > cower > falcosaur swarm >bloodgazer dies but chitara will be on 200hp send in another pet for the finish, ez
Stormstruck Beaver with Lightning Shield, and Pierre with Heat Up, and Chitara will basically kill herself with her attacks. Any pet with reflective damage like that should work easily in just a couple rounds.
So, not a bug. Just another weird pet battle gimmick to counter.

Francois is a really good pet and can often times solo Chitara. Just alternate Make it Rain and Egg barrage
Since 8.2 this thing seems impossible. Takes 5 attacks just to have the tooltip on its shell change to “4 attacks”. Another 5 attacks, it changes to “3 attacks”, and so on.
