Need Help With LOE

Submitted 4 years, 11 months ago by

Well, since they decided to make the old adventures available in the in game shop now, I went and bought League of Explorers. Went through on normal difficulty fairly easily. Only really had issues toward the end, and they weren't too hard. Now I'm working on Heroic. This has been a bit of a struggle. I started playing after the Boomsday expansion, so I don't have a lot of wild cards. Mostly just from Ungoro, Frozen Throne, and Kobolds. I'm currently stuck on Skelesaurus Hex. I've tried some of the top meta decks available, including Galakrond Shaman, but the value from his hero power is just too much most of the time. I've got a full collection in the standard format and I'm looking for any advice on how to get past this one. Any help is appreciated.

    Never mind. Finally got past him after I went back with a new strategy. Ran a Secret Hunter and got my [Hearthstone Card (Secret Keeper) Not Found] out on turn 1 and just spammed secrets. Worked perfect. Can't believe I didn't try it earlier.

    you can always just look up some of the old heroic decks on Hearthpwn.

    Some of them still work really well.

     

    A small tip: OTK strategies are pretty viable since most bosses are geared to outvalue you on the board but are very susceptible to stalling. (you can just oneshot Nefarian with Mecha'thun since his starting deck is pretty much just vanillas with a slightly better odd paladin hero power)

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    Yeah, some old adventures, even Heroic, are not as tought as they were originally, since you can use new cards that make the bosses look like a bit silly. That being said, they are still tons of fun and even more so for someone who does not have a big collection, so they have to figure it out with the cards they have, that has always been the most fun for me personally. So if anyone else is buying up old adventures and playing them out, good luck and have fun!

    PS: if you want some guides on how to beat Heroic Bosses, check out neonangel's youtube channel. He has been making those guides for a while now and they r of great quality.

    Thanks for the suggestions. When I approached the encounter from a different point of view, it actually turned out to be a lot easier than I thought initially. Sometimes you just have to try something out of the ordinary with these adventures, which makes them a lot more challenging and fun in my opinion.

    For anyone else trying these out now, my solutions against The Steel Sentinel was a Mech Hunter utilizing the Missile Launcher, Venomizer, Zilliax combo. Took two tried since he runs enough weapons and battlecries to take it out unless you continually heal or magnetize it.

    Rafaam part two was quite difficult, but I did it with the old Mecha'Thun Priest. Took a couple dozen tries, and I had to modify the deck to eliminate most of the 10/10's he summons, but eventually pulled it off and got the sweet new card back.

    My favorite adventure boss is Terestian Illhoof, whos hero power Dark Pact allows him to only be damaged by Icky Imps, which is a 1/1 with "Deathrattle: resummon this". Do you remember why they changed Dreadsteed? Well they didn't change Icky Imp. It was the easiest boss in my life.

    Carrion, my wayward grub.
