Onyxia - 24.6 Drakkisath

[@nicolaspeyret-forcade4445]

Well played! Thanks for sharing the clip!

[@benluttenberger7860]

Well played man! Names Dragonspirit in game, hope to see you in the climb!

[@dandimit8463]

Thx for the help.

[@GerryHYH]

Beautiful, well played

[@huskykatt]

Thank you!

[@Scotto76]

Now I see why everyone is suggesting WD over drake. The placement of WD next to skeletons was brilliant. You need to clip that little bit and make it a KZbin short.

[@StFUChaarles]

I’m going with this build seeing both you and bulava having success. Do you think having all minis and drak at lvl 26 is good enough?

[@huskykatt]

Yeah everything at 26 works. Good luck!

[@StFUChaarles]

@@huskykatt So I got the last few stars for my pyromancer and Drak getting them to rare on this blackrock week. After couple days and dozens of attempts, I had 4 frustrating games where I needed less than five seconds more to win. Woke up and beat her today just before I had to get ready for work! Thanks again!

[@huskykatt]

Hey that's great, happy to hear so! Congrats :)

[@BCSiCAN]

Nicely done. What lvl drakkisath have to be?

[@huskykatt]

The lower your Drakkisath the more levels the rest of the army will need, some players killed it with level 25 Drakk but made up for it with a 27 shaman for example. I don't remember seeing any 24 Drakks or lower, but it could be possible with enough levels somewhere else.

[@HaraldSteffes]

how do you manage to have Drakkisath and Shaman ready on the beginning? in my game it takes 4 or 5 other minis and so I'm not able to take the tower because of too much enemies spawned

[@huskykatt]

Each player has a different starting hand, you can shuffle it by changing the position of your minis in their army slots. Unfortunately you can't change the order for Drakkisath, so you'll have to wait and defend or send minis to whelp lanes before your first push

[@cesargrosduzboub4763]

ggs! be honest , how many tries did this take lol i bet it was 100+ easy

[@huskykatt]

I didn't count the tries but I recorded all the progress, total is around 8 hours spread over 3 days. 3h on the 31st, 1h on april's 1st and 4h today.

[@veritasperscientiam]

I don't have the same start of friendly minion, any reason ? I can't deploy drak first like you, thanks for your answer

[@huskykatt]

It's different for each person. If your Drakk is on the bottom of the deck, try to wait and defend while you clear whelp eggs until you can start your push. You have a lot of time so don't worry about wasting some at the beginning.

[@veritasperscientiam]

@@huskykatt I finally succeeded shortly after by adapting to my starting hand, thank you again for this superb strategy

[@huskykatt]

@@veritasperscientiam Congrats! Happy to hear so :D

[@karlpearce15]

My witch doctor seems to die quite often, any tips ?

[@huskykatt]

I'm assuming you mean while sending it to clear whelps? The positioning is very important, you have to deploy it close to the rocks and only in the right side, he won't clear the left side at low level.

[@davidhanson7466]

This is my preferred team but still leveling them up. Great video but looks like I have a lot of work ahead of me. And with your execution here and everything you built up you still have to outrace at the end.

[@huskykatt]

Dont worry too much about the race at the end, it's a little deceiving and more of a matter of timing. You don't want to start phase 3 until overtime, dealing with the P3 wardens without the overtime gold bonus is extremely hard so essentially you're stalling time until that point, and if you start sending your final push with around 1:40 left you'll have plenty of time to spare.

[@MrWirrywirry]

With the nerf to the eggs in his talent, is it better to use them with the talent that makes them come out at the same time? Are they still important to the strategy or would it be better to replace them?

[@huskykatt]

Whelps main role in this team is to retake the towers after the phase transitions, their talent won't make a big difference. The secondary use for Flame Burst whelps in most teams was to kill necromancers, but if you are running WD and Pyro necromancers won't be a problem at all. I wouldn't replace them because my Drakk was 27 so my pushes were strong. I value more how helpful whelps are during phase transitions, but if I had a lower level Drakk I would consider Ogre Mage (frost talent) over whelps to make my pushes beefier and use that to retake the towers instead.

[@MrWirrywirry]

@@huskykatt and what about the talents, it's still useful the explosive talent? Or better another one

[@huskykatt]

@@MrWirrywirry Both are very close, pick the one you like the most. I'd still use the explosions, it can be useful when placed next to a constructing tower to stop it from building if anything hits the eggs

[@user-my1od5mm8t]

Will this comp work if I replace skeles with drake?

[@huskykatt]

Yeah that works, it will be harder to play it though, you'll have to pay more attention to the earth elementals

[@wayne203106]

22 WD SOLO ONE ROW WOW

[@huskykatt]

Yup! It is much better than Drake for this team. The positioning is very important.

[@cesargrosduzboub4763]

can u please give some advice about phase 2? i have trouble holding down the towers. i have ur same levels

[@satyrox]

Try to react quickly when Onyxia deploys any unit before it damages your tower, use the pause button if needed while learning and check what you have available to counter it, usually a pyroblast or whelp eggs. Other than that try to get as much gold as possible from chests and mines and very important don't go into phase 2 too soon, you really want to have your skellies and whelp eggs placed before pushing for the next phase. Good luck!

[@cesargrosduzboub4763]

@@satyrox thank you so much ☺️

[@cesargrosduzboub4763]

it worked 😂 thanks again

[@satyrox]

Happy to hear so, good job!

[@Dewleys-bj2nv]

Nice. GG WP Not donateting trash decks, with OP units and heroes

[@cpentyc]

If everyone is level 25. Is this possible?

[@huskykatt]

The only kill I've seen with Drakkisath 25 had a Shaman 27 to make up for it. You can try, maybe it's possible, but it will be difficult without Drakk or Shaman 26 or higher. Good luck!

[@Nickzorz91]

Really incredible seeing a lvl 22 WD put in so much work. I have been pumping stars into my drake following Bulava's video but I may have to switch to WD now.. WD lvl 23 rare with the slot bonus, Drake at 25 though

[@huskykatt]

I tried drake at 25 and for me WD worked way better. Drake is great when you don't play skeleton party, it helps so much with the earth elementals, but since the elementals are already handled easily by the skeletons it loses value for these builds. 4g just for whelp clearing is too expensive.

[@Nickzorz91]

@@huskykatt Thanks for the reply, I'm going to give it a try. Very close to shaman and drakk epic

[@healyourgutguy]

I did this strategy before witch doctor.

[@healyourgutguy]

I could not do this with a team this low level lol.
