Over the past couple of days, an unverified insider leak about the state of Blizzard has been making rounds in social media. Here is a showcase of kills with the damage reduction treasure and without it, with Frost and Fire frontlines. If you get boss & blue add vs Nature, it is 100% consistent with correct play.

The only risk is when transitioning to Nature. Of course, you can use this strategy with a stronger team as well. This way you can always outheal the damage after the blue add acts to avoid the instagib. If your team is weaker, you must not speed up your Nature spells and you want to kill the boss before the blue add. If you have a damage reduction treasure (-3 to all characters) and level 3 Nature’s Call on Malfurion OR level 5 Nature’s Call on Malfurion, you can kill the blue add and outheal the lone boss. There are lots of alternatives for the frontline.Īfter you kill the red add, you want to kill off your other Mercs and get the Nature team in. I’ve used a Holy front, a Fire front, and a Frost front (Jaina, Varden, Brightwing). I have all of my kills with a Nature bench: Malfurion with Liferoot Staff, Bru’kan, and Guff. He also destroys a random damaged Mercenary on regular basis. Highlord Omokk has an impressive 20 points of damage reduction, so you need to ramp up your damage to hurt him. This strategy can fail if Snowclaw takes the first hit, although you should be fine with waiting a little to try again.įor climbing to Snowclaw, I have used the standard Nature comp: Malfurion with Liferoot Staff, Guff, and Bru’kan.īlackrock Mountain 4-7: Heroic Highlord Omokk Between the Overfiend and Samuro, Snowclaw will fall almost instantly. You simply skip your first turn and unleash the Overfiend on turn two together with Rokara’s buff power. This gives the Hulking Overfiend from Rathorian at least 25 Attack, which means that it can instantly kill a totem, and proceed to kill them all via Deathblow to hit the lowest-health enemy. There is an effective, maybe borderline cheese, strategy to take down Heroic Snowclaw: Rokara with Helm of Inspiration, Rathorian with Demonic Ashes, and Blademaster Samuro. Snowclaw summons Totems that slow you down and then punishes you for being slow.

Heroic Snowclaw is one of the most challenging heroic bosses to the extent that Blizzard has already announced that it will be nerfed in a future patch, although the specifics are not yet known. Stat buffs, damage buffs, and damage reduction are useful and can make the bosses a lot easier, but you do not need to try to roll for any specific one to succeed. Good generic treasures are all you need, and most likely you can succeed even without them. However, this guide is written with consistency in mind. Even on a budget team, you can use Hysteria with Xyrella and make Samuro immune to defeat many bosses. King Krush with To the Death treasure and immunity from King Mukla can destroy all opponents at ease. For example, Scabbs and many other fighters can pick up an assassination treasure to instantly destroy one of the opponents at the start of the game. Some treasures allow you to skip entire mechanics and instantly win. Surprisingly, so are some of the bosses from the later stages, but I chose to include them anyway for completeness’ sake. Barrens and Felwood bosses are generally easy enough to manage with a generic, solid team. This guide contains all the bosses in Winterspring and Blackrock Mountain. Yet, there is no single solution to any of these puzzles. All the strategies in this guide are highly repeatable and do not depend on any specific treasures.

I have played through all the Heroic bounties multiple times in search of the most consistent party comps to tackle them.

Heroic bounties, at their best, are fun puzzles where you put together a team that takes advantage of any weaknesses that the boss has to overcome the challenge. The PvE side of Hearthstone Mercenaries culminates in Heroic bounties.
