Welcome to the Hearthstone realm!
Hearthstone
Struggling on completing some tasks of the Mercenaries Y'Shaarj limited-time event? We've got your back. Here's a guide explaining what you should do and the best comps to get there in the seventh Task, Rage Unfound.
We've got a brand new event in Hearthstone's Mercenaries game mode and it's here only for a limited-time! This time, we'll venture into many dangerous Bounty zones with the aid of Y'Shaarj, the strongest Old God (as well as the first to die in World of Warcraft), which already made its appearance in Hearthstone in Whispers of the Old Gods with Y'Shaarj, Rage Unbound.
Our journey won't be in search of just fame and success, but you'll be able to complete a set of 10 event Tasks, which will reward you coins for Y'shaarj and many other goodies.
Here are all the tasks that are available during the Y'Shaarj Mercenaries event. Click any of the links below to visit our guide for the task.
As you can see, these tasks are quite the mixed bag: while some are fairly simple to complete, others require more than a bit of thinking (and luck: that one's always welcome) and planning ahead.
Moreover, certain tasks clearly state that you need Comps consisting of Mercenaries belonging to specific races in order for your progresses to count: while the N'Zoth event was about Humans, Dwarves, Elves, and Murlocs, this time you'll need the help of Humans and Pirates!
Not all challenges might be as difficult as they seem at a glance: there are usually tips and tricks to be found to make everyone's lives easier. In this series of guides we'll take a look at how to complete each event Task, so that you'll be able to get your hands on all the rewards available. As of now, we'll focus our attention on the current task.
In case you missed them, if you click the banner below you'll have access to each of our task guides for this event.
Rage Unfound is the first task of the event that asks us to actually play with the Y'Shaarj Mercenary, which at this point everyone should have leveled up and with some spare coins.
In particular, task #7 will require us to kill at least 4 friendly units using Rage Unbound during the same turn. Now, we realize there's a lot to unpack here, so let's dive into it one step at time.
First of all, Rage Unbound is kind of a Bloodlust effect, granting each friendly unit an Attack buff; moreover, said ability will force all your friendly units to attack random enemies. Although it has Cooldown 10, Strength of Y'Shaarj 1 can speed things up significantly; moreover, we're talking about a Speed 2 ability, meaning that it will usually cast first.
Another thing to notice is that Rage Unbound does not deal damage (unlike N'Zoth's Corrupted Viscera 1), so you'll need your friendly units to die during the trade forced by Y'Shaarj's ability.
Moreover, the kills have to take place in the same turn - not in the same match, not in the same bounty run: in the same turn.
Among all the available options, we think the one you see below is by a fair margin the cheapest, easiest and fastest strategy out there. Provided by Old Guardian, here's Rage Unfound being completed with the aid of Lady Anacondra and Tirion Fordring.
P.S: if you do not own Tirion, make sure to check out the second half of the video, as Old Guardian will provide an even cheaper (although a bit clunkier to pull off) strategy.
Here are a few tips for those unfamiliar with this strategy (spoiler: it's easier done than said).
Our clever community members set up a forum thread to share your Mercenaries progression journey, and we have added an #mercenaries channel on our Discord server if you want to talk with others in real-time. If you need an assist, you can also respond to this guide and we'll do our best to help you out; the comments are also a great way to share your own comps that you've used to complete the task above.
Good luck taking on any of these Bounties for those sweet sweet coins or just for the sake of satisfying completion!

There's a nice comment on OG's video which I recommend you to give it a try. It takes likes 2 minutes and if it doesn't work you can still do OG's suggestion.
Go to BRM Heroic 1 with only Kazakus and Y. I had to restart once because I went into a mono blue encounter. Kaz summons 4 DS Golems and Y uses skill 2. Turn 3 you remove the DS and in T4 you start Rage Unbound.

This was how I did it too. The key is only bringing those 2 mercs so there is space on your board for Kazakus to summon 4 golems. I got it while facing Heroic Apothecary Helbrim. It was perfect because the golems have 8 health, and Helbrim's guards have 8 attack after he gives everyone +1 attack, which is around when Y'Shaarj was ready to go and I had traded away my divine shields.
You can complete this one against a friend/alt account.
I had a slightly simpler approach: Y''Shaarj - Balinda (with water elemental) - Tirion. Started the Lord Banehollow bounty in Felwood, at the first encounter killed all opponents except blood imp (who then did nothing except buff adjacent demons for the rest of the encounter), and then used Balinda to knock my own characters' health down while Tirion pumped the blood imp to the point where it could survive three hits.
