The game plan here revolves about trading efficiently with the White Knight: the ability to pick your target and the fact that it has 4 attack must be used to its fullest along with the White Bishop.
Always mulligan for 2-3 White Pawns and hope that you'll draw into the Knight and Bishop. Once that happens, it's a matter of positioning.
Make sure that you always place or switch the Knight to the rightmost slot, and the White Rook (more often that not) on the middle, to tank damage, use the Pawns to modify the number of minions to an odd/even one or to an even/odd one, since you'll have the upper hand at the end of the turn.
Regarding the Bishop, placing it between Pawns is a good strategy, because it simply tanks damage while it heals your other minions. Use the hero power to switch its place from either the Knight's vicinity or the Pawn's to the injured minions, or, if need be, move it to the left-most place to sacrifice it for the attack power; in the end you need to attack, not to defend, since your resources are limited, his aren't. The ideal use of this minion is to trade and heal the Knight. Healing the Queen is a good option as well, but since it has 6 health, healing the Knight after hitting a Rook/Pawn is more important imo.
In the end, the Queen isn't used as a finisher, but as a board clear, having a Bishop between the Queen and the Knight being the target that you should go for.
Pictures:
After getting 3 Pawns and helping with the Bishop first because I've got that before the Rook, here's the status:
Finally, both of you run out of steam.. literally.. but.. but! You win!
I hope this could be of help, even if just a bit!
EDIT: Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it! The turn one pass tactic works as well, however, think of the real chess game: Pawns are pieces that are sacrificed, in the end, even if you lose your Queen, as long as the King is alive, you can still win. Having a board is detrimetal, so I prefer to have board advantage over small damage ticks to my face, since you'll never know if he'll play a Knight/Bishop, the Bishop is the most favorable case since you can play your Knight to counter his Pawns and then go for double hits if possible. That's just my opinion though, both options work, though I prefer the one that implies board control
I did every single tip. Turn 1 and 2 full pawns. Turn 3 bishop. Turn four knight... I GET REKT!!!!!! The boss hero power is cheat.. 'nuff said why I'm losing cuz that BITCH is cheating!!!
WTH? please I don't wanna lose heroic cardback because of this stupid boss level...
May the RNG Lord save me ...
OH YEAH DID IT RIGHT AFTER THIS COMMENT!!!! RNG LORD HEARD MY PRAYERS (⌐■_■)
Thanks for the early knight+bishop hint, won after third try.
Thank you so much!! Got it first try. The only left is Magic Mirror.
Got this win my 2nd try. The first time I didn't understand the importance of double attacks. You basically make sure you are always double attacking their board. Don't play a card if it makes you not double attack. Really easy to win otherwise not sure why so many people having problems with it. I think people are going wrong with playing cards that makes them lose double attack status. Even if you have like 8 mana and can play an expensive piece but you lose double attack don't play it pass the turn with 8 mana. If you double attack every round you will gain board control midway to the end and just destroy him after that.
After about 30 tries, I finally beat it. I feel like I just ran a marathon. The only way you can win, is get full board control and hope that you get the right pieces to win.
Damn...... got him on my first try XD easy peasy
Got fckin tired after 20 loses or so, I switched off, then got it on a first try.
Yes, I've passed first turn. Yes, I've used bishops next to each other. Yes I used hero power like 10 times whole game, not only to push queen to the right, but also to clear the board before. And I kept 2nd bishop from turn 4 alive till the end (1st - played on t3 died)
Literally this
Damn what a struggle got him after like 10 tries the turn 1 skipp and this guide helped alot ty :) .
Agree.
What about General Drakkisath from BRM?!
After 10-15 tries, I got it. You need a few things to go right for you to have a chance. Despite having a much better board state, I lost a game because he used cheat 4 times in a row early on. The game I did win I ended up letting my Bishops get axed in return for a better board state and more DPS. In the end, it was the White Knights that saved the day, trading efficiently with his Bishops to eliminate them in 1 turn. Once you have board control with at least two more minions than him, just feed him 1 minion a turn, adjusting for any that might die during his turn.
Honestly to the people failing to win, just keep playing and you will eventually get the hang of it. I lost like 2-3 times before I understand the mechanics and after that I won on 4 accounts from the first try. Just keep playing guys you'll win eventually ^^
First purify and now this?Are they fucking jocking its RNG only battle.Like how can you win while he just casually destroys your minion and you have 2x less cards already?I hate guys who developed this
?? This is the least RNG heroic in any of the adventures so far.
This is most stupid heroic mission ever
So i finally beat it... took forever but what I've found is it's all based on your beginning RNG with your cards. I ended up beating him with 1 card in my deck left and it was the Queen which was very annoying but it's proof you should be dominating by turn 5ish and you'll be fine and if you aren't you're probably going to lose.
