Re: Hearthstone 23: The Evil League of EVIL
I got wrecked by the paladin guy in the first level because I didn't have any AoE or board clear to get rid of his constantly buffing minions.

Re: Hearthstone 23: The Evil League of EVIL
Ah, while checking my adventures, I noticed I never defeated Chromaggus and Nefarian. I tried both and gor wrecked, any tips for these two in Heroic difficulty? Like deck archetypes, or strategies for those two? I have beaten every other heroic boss in all wing-based adventures, but those two are like the bane of my existence.

Wow, talk about a blast from the past.
Maybe I'll try completing those old challenges on harder difficulties too.

Re: Hearthstone 23: The Evil League of EVIL
It turns out the artifact that makes you draw two more cards each turn isn't exactly useful if you can't spend all that mana.

Re: Hearthstone 23: The Evil League of EVIL
I had a different problem with it - I went with Quest Hunter to alleviate the mana problem, and combined it with the "left card in your hand is discounted" artifact. The result is my board was constantly too full to play minions and most of my hand is self replacing - the raptors draw a card, Springpaw draws a Lynx, Shimmerfly gives a spell, etc. So I wound up burning half the deck anyway.
Still won though, so it was effective. I've beaten both wings on Heroic wiith Quest Hunter now. Struggling to do it with the other classes. I may need to lift the ban on the Robes of Gaudiness so I can get the wins.
The artifact I've found least good so far is the one that shuffles in a 1-cost version of any friendly minion that dies. You're just too likely to start replicating 2-drops and then perpetually draw them instead of the better cards in your deck.

Re: Hearthstone 23: The Evil League of EVIL
I went with the "your cards cost half but you can only play two cards per turn", and did surprisingly good, during the tavern I had my Dr. Boom get to be always in my opening hand, and with the mage hero power that reduces by (2) the cost from a card of your hand, and had him 3 times as a turn 2 play, which was pretty good considering it was a 2 mana Dr. Boom.
During my shaman run I picked the left card costs (2) less, plus minions cost (1) less with choosing a Flamewreathed Faceless for a turn 1 4 mana 9/9, combined with pretty good 2 mana or less draws, I ended up with a solid (strong) turn 1 play. I still lost to the Manastorm lady, her squirrels were too difficult to deal with because of her cog weapon.Check out which is the Playground's favorite Dragon!

Re: Hearthstone 23: The Evil League of EVIL
Malificent Manastorm is the hardest boss I've run into so far. Last time I fought her she opened with Galvanizer, then on turn 3 (with the extra mana crystal she gets for free) she played Dynomatic to sweep my board, then immediately Magnetized a big mech onto it the next turn so I couldn't kill it, then put a Beryllium Nullifier onto it so I couldn't even target it.
She's wiped out my last 3 Heroic Shaman runs, and I'm getting sick of the sight of her. She's almost as bad as that Evolve dude from Dungeon Run.

Re: Hearthstone 23: The Evil League of EVIL
Welp, after i couple attempts i did the heroic one too, by drafting an absolutely insane combo.
Your leftmost card costs 2 less
+
Random 1 drop + "Has +4/+4 but costs 2 more" + "Always starts in your hand"
+
The Muscle + "Always starts in your hand"
=
Turn 1 6/5, turn 2 4/5 plus three random cards that cost 0.
I even got "your minions have +1/+1" in the end. Absolutely bonkers.
Also, in another run that ended badly, i had gotten "spells cost mana" with Antonidas for lethal.

Re: Hearthstone 23: The Evil League of EVIL
Kinda. You won't see Queen Togwaggle outside the bank, but she isn't the only final boss of the bank. Marei only shows up in the first couple tiers, but can appear in both the bank and the hold. There's quite a bit of overlap, but there are also unique bosses to each wing.
There also seems to be a TON of bosses, with hopefully more unique ones showing up in the later chapters.
Also, add Kara Stamp to my "Oh dear merciful GOD" category. Let's just say she started dropping random 7 drops on turn 1. I actually won that match, though I have no idea how.
Update: And I've FINALLY gotten a second win on Violet Hold Heroic. It took killing 5 Y'shaarjs along with accompanying 9-10 drop minions including one point where there were 3 Y'shaarjs on the board at the same time. Yogg'Saron repaid my trust in him by Divine Shielding himself before dropping a Lightbomb. Even from there I almost lost, and had to win via a 48 damage double Malygos into 3 Fireballs to get exact lethal, with a counter-lethal coming the next turn if I hadn't had that. Final boss dropped me to single-digit health despite me opening with triple 6/14 Malygeese on turn 3.
I've just got Shaman to go for Violet Hold Heroic. Given the ridiculous stuff I had to pull out for wins on the other 2 classes, I may just go sit in a corner and cry instead.Last edited by Rodin; 2019-05-18 at 12:03 PM.

Re: Hearthstone 23: The Evil League of EVIL
I just finished a heist with 8 rags and my minions cost half. Felt good to finally best the heroic banker guy that copies minions and gives them +4/+4 for 2 mana.

Re: Hearthstone 23: The Evil League of EVIL
I've had a bunch of really fun runs so far. There was the one where I got the Rush treasure and also got the indestructible Mukla, and I also was running Murloc Shaman that time. Turns out that having a ton of little rush minions is amazing for board control, especially with Spirit of the Murloc. Then there was the Goggles Miracle Hunter. I only got one incredible Lock and Load turn off, but it was so good.

Re: Hearthstone 23: The Evil League of EVIL
Beat Bank on my second run with Mage, Gallywix is a far easier final boss than Queen Toggwaggle was.
I only wish you could track which wings you've beaten as which classes, beyond the 'bosses defeated as X' tracker.NOW COMPLETE: Let's Play Starcraft II Trilogy:

Re: Hearthstone 23: The Evil League of EVIL
You get a crown-type thing over each class you've beaten a wing with, same as in Dungeon Run. It's separate progression between Normal and Heroic. The only thing that doesn't get tracked (as far as I can tell) is which starting decks and hero powers you've won with.
Shaman Violet Hold Heroic continues to defeat me. Half the time my deck doesn't come together because the buckets for Shaman are kinda poor. The other times I run into a Boss that just hard counters me. Getting Lavanthor as Murloc Shaman is pure pain.
I really, really want to beat it without the Robes of Gaudiness, because that artifact is just so ridiculously broken. Starting to think I'll have no choice though.

Re: Hearthstone 23: The Evil League of EVIL
Robe's of gaudiness do make these so much easier. The toughest I have faced is Banker Biggs (He returns a card to his hand with +4/+4. He just destroys control decks even though his AI isn't as good as it could have been.) Cyangosia is also extremely tough though very rare from what I have seen. The most lethal boss though from my experience is Linzi. She is a first boss so your deck has nothing special in it. If you don't get the damage in early or chose a deck with little direct damage then her hero power will eviscerate you.

Re: Hearthstone 23: The Evil League of EVIL
Barista Lynchen is another hilarious Cloneball upset - get 2 of them in hand before discounting and it's an infinite supply of duplicating 4/5s. Brawls are never balanced, but the sheer entertaining number of ways you can do ridiculous things is the draw.

Re: Hearthstone 23: The Evil League of EVIL
I've beaten the single player a few times off of the power that gives you a random deathknight power and the one that cuts its cost in half and lets you use it twice a turn. All of them except the inverted healing are busted.

Re: Hearthstone 23: The Evil League of EVIL
The inverted healing? Are you referring to the Priest's deathknight power? Because that one can be pretty busted too if you have the right deck for it. Quest Hunter + refreshable damage to the board wrecks face.
The big thing I've been finding with the Heroics so far is that the difficulty is really variable. I finally finished with Shaman, and it was my weakest deck by some distance. The only treasure of note was Big Boomba, which saved me from Malficient before she could build up a big mech board. The rest of my deck was just bog-standard Elemental shaman, without even getting broken artifacts to pair with it. I had the "start with a weapon" for my second one, which gifted me with a Cursed Blade on my first use. Don't recall what my first was, but it wasn't anything special.
The difference was basically not getting any of the really nasty bosses. Malificent is okay if you can push through her early board pressure and stop her from magnetizing everything under the sun, and the final boss was that beholder dude who is a nerfed version of the Dungeon Run boss. No quest + his eye powers coming from his deck rather than getting them for free makes for a much easier fight, and all I had to do was damage race his hero power as a Shaman with 2 Kalimos, a Walking Fountain, and a Witches Brew in my deck.

Re: Hearthstone 23: The Evil League of EVIL
I almost had a disastrous run as Quest Hunter - got all the way to Millificent, but when I used my DK Shaman hero power it turned a 1-drop into Doomsayer, blowing up my Super Simian Sphere. Luckily I managed to re-stabilize with Shaw+Raptor spam, and once I had board control it was game.
People talk about the Robe of Gaudiness being the best, but since I haven't gotten it so far my absolute MVP treasure is the Hyperblaster - 1/5 Poisonous Immune While Attacking. Clearing five of the toughest minions for free is amazing for tempo.NOW COMPLETE: Let's Play Starcraft II Trilogy:

Re: Hearthstone 23: The Evil League of EVIL
I've been offered Robe of Gaudiness twice, but since it limits you to playing two cards per turn and both times I was running minion swarm decks, this seemed like a really bad idea.
Just had a fun Heroic run where my first treasure was Scepter of Summoning, so I drafted really heavy. Then I got a treasure that draws you 3 cards a turn, but makes you immune to fatigue damage.
Basically I'd start burning cards and have a full hand from turn 5 onwards, and always hit fatigue like 3-4 turns before winning, but it still felt like I breezed through the game, even the Beholder final boss.
Other fun combos included Murloc Shaman with gain 2 armor every time a minion dies. I routinely ended with more than 50 armor with that deck. I really thought the armor power was going to be trash, but it surprised me.If my text is blue, I'm being sarcastic.But you already knew that, right?

Re: Hearthstone 23: The Evil League of EVIL
So... gotten sort of curious, is there any sort of pattern as to what decks you get from the "start the game with an EVIL deck" legendary?(the cape of... someone who's name I forget. )
Are there ones for all nine classes? And is there any randomness to the cards you get?Meow(Steam page)

Re: Hearthstone 23: The Evil League of EVIL
There you go. Warlock is pretty meme-y and Priest is utter crap. Shaman is not "meta", Warrior and Rogue are basically T1.

Re: Hearthstone 23: The Evil League of EVIL
Nerfs of the Expansion has finally been announced, and I think it's to no surprise that Rogue got hit the hardest.
EVIL Miscreant: Goes from 1/5 to 1/4 stats.
Raiding Party: Cost increased to 4 Mana.
Preperation: Now only reduces the next Spell's cost by 2.
Archivist Elysiana: Cost increased to 9 Mana.
Spoiler: Thoughts on Nerfs
EVIL Miscreant looks to me the least impactful, since many Tempo Rogues have cut Shadowstep to 1 or cut them out completely, so in general you're not in danger of leaving the Miscreant alone for a turn only for it to get replayed anyway. Where this does become impactful is Witch and Goblin Lackeys: less likely to survive to get evolved into a 4-drop, or survive rush trades. Despite these, I think Miscreant will still see play.
Raiding Party, as I've alluded to in my thoughts on Zalae Shadowcloak, is the reason why Tempo Rogue is so consistently powerful atm. This makes it a lot less consistent to pull off on curve, and harder for the Rogue to snowball their Tempo game with Waggle Pick and Pirates. Shot in the kneecaps, but still Rogue's best draw option atm, so still sees play.
Preparation... For once, I'm going to preemptively agree with Zevox's concerns about Rogue's future and Classic set in general, because even though this opens up design for future sets, that doesn't change the fact that all of the past sets were designed with 3 reduction Prep in mind. Sprint and Vanish are already tough sells to put in a deck, this makes it even harder. I'd say even 4 mana Spells like Academic Espionage is harder to play now. If Raiding Party nerf is a shot in the kneecaps, this here is the shot in the head that kills Rogue's win rate.
Archivist Elysiana I have not seen too much play, but that's because I'm mostly an Aggro player, so if I see Archivist Elysiana, either I'm too slow, or my opponent is super desperate. But as I understand it, Elysiana + Bounce effect is fun for exactly one (1) player, and that is the player that played it. Fair nerf, gives less greedy control decks a chance against the greedy grind control.you know that I'm more than just a doll do you?-Geno
