Strategy:
The Batacuda, unfortunately, isn't such a great companion. Apologies to the Witchdoctors out there, but one Epic isn't going to cut it in higher worlds. You can't choose any Epics to give him, either, so there isn't too much to actually build on him. Focus on training accuracy and health, and then, with the remaining choices you have, give him damage and dodge.

If he does show up in battles, use him as a distraction of sorts. When you're ready to come close to the enemy, send him out first, and draw the attention to him. While the enemies are aiming for him, cast your spells from afar to weaken the enemy. By the time the Batacuda is taken out, you should have been able to deal enough damage yourself to be able to finish the enemy off very quickly. Therefore, he actually works pretty well on Witchdoctors!
