Table of Contents
Boss Overview
Archaedas is the third and final boss in the Uldaman wing of the The League of Explorers adventure.
Archaedas summons statues for both players each turn. On Normal, this statue is defined as a 0/2 Earthen Statue, but on Heroic, it simply states Statue. Any type of buff which can give these minions attack or taunt will allow you to make something out of nothing.
Oh, and not only will you need to watch out for stats he buffs his own board with, but you also need to be aware he can hit you in the face with damage based off how many statues are on the entire field.
- Normal: Earthen Statue
- Normal: Animate Earthen
- Normal: Shattering Spree
- Heroic: Earthen Statue
- Heroic: Animate Earthen
- Heroic: Shattering Spree
Pro Tips and Strategy
- The best method of take down Archaedas is to OTK (One Turn Kill) him / go for face.
- Attack into him as much as you can and include global buffs such as Bloodlust or Savage Roar.
- Board control can be important, but only if he has an overwhelming amount of statues on the field that he could shatter for 3 damage each to your face. Try to only control the board if things are looking poorly for you.

# Um dieses Deck zu verwenden, kopiert es in Eure Zwischenablage und erstellt ein neues Deck in Hearthstone.[/deck]
I got this deck from a speed runner on Youtube I changed a view cards like included 2 legendary because I didnt have 2 or 3 cards but I think it works even better with the change Its a very strong deck against this boss i won on second try because I had unlucky hand on my firs try (no evolve or devolve or wild spirit...) Just wait till he has like 4 statue on bord then devolve so he cant use his spell to profit of of them its easy. Electra is very strong combo with bloodlust if you have it. Good luck.
PS: Sry I dont know how to paste the deck in here properly ...

Posted May 20, 2016 (Old Gods)Why isn't my deck listed above instead of the Priest deck? It has way more Upvotes and works A LOT better.
Make sure to check out the guide.

Posted May 27, 2016 (Old Gods)However, I can happily report that I won on the first try with this deck. I didn't have 2 Competitive Spirits, so I subbed in a Sacred Trial, which really came through.
Thanks for posting this deck!

Posted May 27, 2016 (Old Gods)Glad the deck worked for you. I actually had Sacred Trial in my original version, but after a few games in a row where he didn't ever have more than 3 minions on the board, I took it out.

Posted Nov 21, 2015 (Explorers)The Shaman deck linked in the article did not work for me. So I wanted to try the priest deck. But during building the deck I changed my mind and ended up with this deck:
Killed him first try. :)

Posted Nov 19, 2015 (Explorers)Had the weirdest bug where it wouldn't let me use a custom deck. The game gave me some weird basic f2p shaman deck with Ancestral Healing, Booty Bay Bodyguards, Reckless Rocketeers etc. Needless to say, I didn't win.

Posted Nov 20, 2015 (Explorers)Well done! I just said "fuck it" and closed Hearthstone and when I came back later it worked fine, crushed him hard with a Flametongue Totem/Direwolf Alpha etc deck.
