Discuss this Week's Brawl
If you want to discuss this brawl with fellow brawlers, head on over to the discussion thread!
I feel like this brawl is a way easier than mechazod's 5/5 win so far (and rng didnt let me play priest so 5 morgls). My teammates knew what they are doing, and we even managed to communicate. When priests or i wanted one minion to be buffed we spammed highlight minion + one emote. Works wonders. Maybe because of previous coop brawls experience most people know what to do now?
You know this tavern brawl is hard when the priest deck doesn´t have the op card Purify
Twisted Light op confirm for new priest card? XD
Interesting. Different. New cards fit the teamwork theme very well.
Downsides: Too long for my taste, and these "team up" brawls highlight how hard it is to communicate with the other player.
Hope you all have fun. Probably once and done for me this week, but I can see why this one is popular.
We won with a minion "Gain 1+1 for every card is played" but wth is this card?
Intrepid Dragonstalker
Only criticism that I have that hasn't already been said would be there should have been an alternate Priest by the time this came out; So it could have been Morgl and (insert new cool priest here)
Thx demmix!
I was expecting another ragefest like Mechazod brawl (which i hate with passion because of how much bullshit RNG is ninvolved and the fact that it's impossible to make a decent wombocombo work with a player you can't talk to)
but this one was refreshingly well designed. It's fair, it features fun cards that don't need a lot of communication to be pulled off and it actually feels like you are beating a boss through joint efforts and just by hoping you are lucky enough to zerg him down before he overclocks to 9000...
I had a real nailbiter where we almost lost because my partner totem'd on a full board which summoned a healing totem which caused my NOrthshire to mill meto fatigue AND wipe his board but through luck and that special card that works like questing adventurer for both sides we managed to do a massive windfury combo on nefarian.
Probably not gonna play it a lot because i can't take the adrenaline but definitely one of my favourite experiences
This fight is SOOOOOO bugged, he just wiped my side of the board for absolutely no reason. RIP my 40 health, 15 attack garg with Windfury and Power Word: Glory.
Was your board full? If so he kills your entire field cause he needs space to move onto your side.
Your side of the board was probably full. In the other co-op brawls, Mechazod would clear one side of the board of there wasn't enough room for him to switch sides. I'm sure Nefarian works the same way.
Oh yeah, fair point, it probably was!
It would be nice if the game actually properly addressed this, EG maybe have a warning in the brawl description, have Nef say something mean to the players when he does it, have a trigger in the history bar, etc. As it is, it comes off as a weird bug the first time you experience it. I was genuinely shocked this still hasn't been fixed since the last time we had this brawl. Hell, it's not even in the extended brawl description in the article.
I really love how some are talking about "noobs" on this brawl when its been out for what, 4 hours? relax guys, other people have lives and jobs...
Those who decide to just play it blind have no idea what the card draw is like, the different stages, etc. Its not Sunday, folks... it's Wednesday
Umm Well I beat him somehow. he died when he got to 166 health and started the "Behold my true Power" which was odd. then he did the missiles attack and filled my teammates board by killing his runts then he powered up and then did his death animation. I didn't screen shot it cause I thought that for some reason by having the board filled we lost or something.So i just clicked trying to re-queue but saw i had my pack. Anyone have any idea or same thing happen?
I had the same situation, he killed my runts which made my board full and after trying to move onto my side he exploded. That match counted as a victory. It's kinda strange, because other man wrote on this tread that Nefarian wiped all of his board in similar situation. Maybe it's some kind of bug?
Without any way for Nefarian to destroy a minion ala Assassinate or Prioritize this brawl is way too easy. Have a near empty board for the first upgrade and a high health Stoneskin Gargoyle or Fjola Lightbane for the second.
Easily done with Stoneskin Gargoyle hitting for 90+ dmg. You keep that alive, brawl is easy.
Ok I broke it. Its easy. Buff Brann over 30HP ASAP. Win game. You'll see what I mean when you do it.
