The Lich King Boss Guide - The Frozen Throne
The final boss of the Frozen Throne's Icecrown Citadel adventure is The Lich King!
Fight Details
On the Lich King's first turn, he will play a cheat card based on the class you are playing.
- Purge the Weak - No cheap minions for Druid. You best be ramping up!
- The Hunted - Hunters are damaged for every minion in their deck. Ouch!
- The True Lich - Mages only get 1 health? What is this sorcery?
- Fallen Champions - Don't let your minions die, Paladins. The Lich King will get them!
- Shut up, Priest - Mmpphhhhhh!!! Priests are not allowed to speak.
- The Price of Power - Oh sorry Rogues, did you want spells? No spells for you!
- Necrotic Plague - Better have some buffs, Shamans. Your whole deck becomes 1/1s.
- Soul Reaper - Have duplicates in your deck Warlock? Take some damage!
- The True King - Warriors see the Lich King sit at 130 total armor and 30 health.
The fight doesn't have anything really special to it at the start. Keeping control of the board is a requirement at this point. When possible you should deal some damage to to his face, but don't make that a priority.
On turn 7, The Lich King will play Frostmourne. At this point, all minions on his side of the field are killed, 6 Trapped Soul are spawned for him, and he goes immune thanks to his new hero power, Harvest of Souls.
Your goal now is to get rid of the Trapped Souls as soon as possible to break the immunity and get rid of the weapon. It should be noted that Frostmoune also goes immune, preventing charges from being used. After all Trapped Souls are destroyed, The Lich King loses his hero power and gains a new one - Remorseless Winter.
Once he's gone into this next phase, the fight has no new mechanics to it. Simply take him out before you end up dead due to the increasing damage every turn from his hero power.
Watch Out For These Cards
- Anti-Magic Shell - If he has a bunch of minions in plays, expect the worst, expect this to be dropped.
- Frostmourne - Since he and his weapon are immune during this phase, you want to get it over with ASAP.
- Looming Presence - Not much you can do about it but just be warned that he does have it in his deck. If you know you'll just have gotten enough damage for lethal next turn, be prepared to cry when he drops it.
Rewards
There are two rewards from defeating this fight.
- Clear the fight once to receive a Frozen Throne card pack.
- Clear the fight with all nine classes to receive the Prince Arthas hero skin for Paladin.

Well, then just farm, I farmed 2500 gold since the xpac was announced from quests and wins, coupled with the brawls, the free arena runs and all the free packs from voting and logging in, not to mention the free DK (Uther) form the first adventure. I know I may have hit some luck but I ended up opening like 50 packs for 3 legendaries (Jaina/Sindragosa/Thrall).
$0 spent.
I think that's why they included really easy versions like Priest and Druid. The average player can get the free pack, but to get the portrait you are going to need quite the collection. And I am honestly fine with that, the portrait should be a difficult reward to get just like any heroic cardback.
- 9 really, you kids on this website need to chill it was a joke
Easy win with this deck

Try to mulligan for astral communion then draw out your whole deck before recycling jades
I did it with jade druid in my fifth attempt. I really hate him cos' it's just ridiculous how unfair is everthing but... I like this, I mean it's a real challenge and frustrating fun at the same time. I think it's exactly what an adventure should be for this game so I enjoyed KFT very much (He truly hates Vadin, even has an unique emote just for him. I don't carry Tirion anymore in my deck because seeing him resurrect in his side it's pretty harsh). I made a deck with just silver hand recruits and buffs spells only and I think I should defeat him in a few games. So far that's my experience for my friends in EU.
this is what I used for hunter, praise rng

How did you beat the Frostmourne turn?
this is too hard
This is absolutely insane. Unbeatable from a F2P perspective. I have like 0 of the legendaries in the decks above. His "cheat" for ramp Druid isn't terrible it's just impossible to clear his minions fast enough and as he doesn't play anything while those souls are out, he unloads on you after you've exhausted everything to clear them. I don't give a darn about the Arthas skin I just want the pack but this is ridiculous. Loved the content up until now, but seriously, this is worse than trying to play a few games on ranked mode...
It's kind of funny how blizz were nice to f2p players at the beginning of the expansion and now pull this. Lol @ everyone saying "guys what are you talking about this is really easy! just use reno thaurissan and 28 different epics!!!" as if everyone else has been playing the game since launch and spending a hundred bucks on every expac.
The "Big Priest" deck works pretty well:
AAECAZ/HAgiiCairAoW4Are7AsbMAsLOAvDPApDTAgvTCtcKoawCtbsC6L8C6r8C0cECmcgC5cwC5swCtM4CAA==
Evolve Shaman and Jade/Ramp Druid too.
Kind of spoiled by the game slowing to an absolute crawl when Frostmourne is equipped...
I won with mage using Specialist’s Secret Mage, just restart until you get Kabal Lackey and Counterspell in your initial hand
AAEBAf0EBMAB7AX6Dp4QDXHDAbsClQOWBbkGyQ33DYkO17YC67oCh70CwcECAA==
why counterspell? mana bind.
The 30 armor makes it not work as well you would need both i believe
He Still has 30 Armor
Because you will be at 1hp and next turn you will leave him at 1hp plus 30 armor, not worth it dude
Jade druid. Yogg and load. Reno mage. Token Pala. Dragon priest. N'zoth rogue. Bloodlust evolve. Renolock. Control warrior.
EZ
Whoops, meant to type Control warrior*. Brain fart moment.
