I didn't know about 40 min rule played with togwaggle and completed it in 36 min
Have to say, credit where it's due. Best brawl ever? GJ Blizz
I'm glad that beating it in under 40 minutes wasn't nearly as hard as I expected. Took Dr. Boom and used the hero power every turn and eventually the bombs killed every boss. I needed 24:36 to complete my run. First try too :)
The bombs are an RNG fest though. After completing the sub-40 easily with shaman the first time (I was literally distracted with a mobile game I'm playing atm, and only really started paying full attention to HS when I was up to about boss 6 with only ~20-25 minutes elapsed), I decided to try it again using the Boom bomb strat (I was kicking myself when I didn't do this initially - seems like the premiere choice for a speed run, though when I found out that shaman has Stargazing, that's a different story).
Got all the way up to Rag pretty easily, then had him on sub-6 health for 4 consecutive turns, with his deck literally half bombs, and he didn't draw any. Losing to a normal mode dungeon run boss... :-S
Dr. Boom is stupidly op you just have to push your hero power and pick some low mana cards to play with it
Big Elemental Shaman with rng card cost
Quests count on this brawl. Best brawl ever by far.
Completed in 21 minutes with treasure which make all your cards cost half, but you can play only 2 cards and 2 cursed cards in your opponent hand. While he used his automatically cast hero power and remove both cursed card, he was already swarmed by me on the board.
Great event so far! The brawl was a lot of fun, going through the old adventure with new villains as a dungeon runs was pretty cool!
The time constraint to get the reward was also great, it was a new way to play the dungeon run :)
Just wished the card rewards were shown somewhere in the game, I had to come here to find out what were the rewards for winning the run
whenever you see The Muscle you have to pick him. He is that kind of insane ring u need to win fast
I wish they could show the progress of the community challenge for the cards reveal..
closed game to go do something
came back to finish brawl fast
ended up getting 2 hrs on my time
what a fucking great brawl right
Same happened to me, it struck me as odd but then came to the thought it didn't really matter. At least we knew for next time, and you've got a fair amount of time for a speed run. So, have at it and good luck
I managed to get it down to 17:02, the strat is pretty easy. Take warrior. Spam hero power every single turn. Never mulligan cards, always take starting hand. Take Rafaam's hand, 2x Deathrattle, or boombots for treasures. On card selection just grab whichever one u see with pirates in it fastest.
Logged in just to give you some kudos -- tried this, first try I got 24:27
7th boss was dead on turn 5 after so many bomb draws.
Rag was dead on turn 6.
And I'm sure I could improve on that time as my treasures weren't good, and I had to read some of the cards having not seen them before. Good strat though, and fun to play
Now my special card back means nothing
It is sad that you think that it worth something anyway. What about other 55 season cards arent they enough?
Well, previously he was like "Ha-ha, let me show you something that you cannot have, and I have it, so, you can be sad about it, also I am better than you". Many people are like this when they are 3-4 or about
23 mins 37 seconds
Helps when yo have three give them two curses, 12 damage turn one RIP Raggy
