The First Level 260 Mythic Boss Rush - Khadgar Meets The Anointed Blades - Hearthstone Mercenaries

[@NathanSlaymaker]

Huh, my bosses were different. US server, & I logged in right away on Monday.

[@OldGuardian]

The bosses changed when the patch came live. These are the current, post-patch bosses.

[@NathanSlaymaker]

@@OldGuardian Thanks! Unfortunately, I failed to complete the bounty before I updated my game- do you know if you can complete both the pre-update & the post-update bounties "for the first time," & also get both bonuses?

[@OldGuardian]

@@NathanSlaymaker No, it only counts for a first-time clear once.

For those on EU with Icehowl and Chromaggus: in one of the responses I posted instructions how to beat Ravak. My team setup: Arfus, Elise and Khadgar for first boss (ideally they all die), Chi-Ji, Niuzao and Longxin for the rest. Use the health boosting passive on Longxin

[@_Enerdor]

Had success with a similar comp. I prefere xuen for the double scaling

[@dpskane]

@@_Enerdor I also like Xuen, but I got only a single DR passive, which was not enough to prevent Ravak from shredding my Xuen into pieces ...

[@dampersand]

Thanks for the tips! I had the best possible RNG, with all 6 surviving the first battle but still getting 2 damage reduction treasures afterward. The rest should be a piece of cake now, but I wouldn't have passed the first battle without your advice.

2nd mythic boss rush .... medivh was one of the longest boss fights i ever had, and it was tight. Bad luck would have made me lose the match. Going in with Chiji, Longxin (DR passive), Xuen (DR passive). Chiji position was intended, so a 2nd echo chiji would not create an insane amount of extra DR. That I had 2 DR passives (each giving 90 DR) was maybe too much. While it was nice to have 180 DR myself, not being able to kill echoes provided a massive problem. It was an insane match - my mercs had 2000 max health (and Xuen was once at 22) when the game was over, Chiji dealing 572 firestorm damage. The echoes had so much DR that I could not damage them at first - nothing I have, gets past 180. I focused down the red add, as it was so easy to damage that one with my mercs (chiji, longxin, xuen), but once that happened, Medivh created another echo. Even though I did pay attention to positioning, that was now 2x4x30=240 DR on the enemy side. Thoughts: maybe bringing Yulon is better than Long'Xin. The latter has nice survival effects, but blocking taunt might be the key to allow Xuen taking care of Medivh and the blue add.

Bosses were different before the patch. Also wonder how much mercenaries stuff got fixed in it

[@decawraith2478]

I have different bosses - Chromaggus and Icehowl (US OCE)?

[@AnevaySE]

Same. I’m on EU.

[@andispandiify]

Same EU

[@dpskane]

Same on EU. First battle can be easily won with arfus (slow down by 1 is enough), elise and khadgar, but 2nd boss (Ravak Grimstone) is quite hard, as bitter bruising can dish out 1-5 times more than 150 dmg to one target. You do not necessarily need double DR to survive this (I managed with one DR passive), but you should not bring a green celestial, i.e., no xuen. I did it with Chiji, Longxin and Niuzao. The latter is flexible, but Longxin with its massive health boost for celestials did prove very useful. My recipe for success: start first battle with arfus, elise and khadgar. get into perma root and bring chiji as support once arfus is dead. start hurting elise and khadgar with chiji. Do not use firestorm on the enemy. get the golden monkey and then elise is of no more use: you can use khadgar's "all-abilities" ability on her, too, will still root and hurt the enemies, which is the main goal. Bring anyone in, now work on getting Khadgar's life down. Use Niuzao/Longxin for getting divine shield or HP, because once Khadgar is dead you still have to kill something on the enemy board. Make the kill, only celestials left. Get DR at least once. Longxin can grant a big HP boost and the swap can be invaluable in surviving Ravak's massive attack. If you get any 5-7 speed abilities slowed by the red add, that's just golden. The red add gets attacked by its teammate so it's easy to kill, but you might want to keep it around, if you can. Ravak and the blue add are a powerful team, but alone they're useless. So ... make sure to focus on only one of them. The remaining 2 battles are easy if you can get a 2nd DR. 1 DR is maybe enough, but a 300 attack icehowl is nothing to scoff at (but you have divine shields and position swaps for that ;)). I had 2 DRs. could have had 3, but I wanted some offense to speed up things or in case the enemy has some fat scaling (hint: it has scaling, but it's quite harmless).

[@palpeter6475]

Barak Kodobane seems to be bugged. If it have changed its abilities every turn like in normal PvE, the last fight would have been much more difficult.

[@emperorbuggy8313]

Every time I fight him he spams 5, every time OG fights him he spams 7.

[@palpeter6475]

@@emperorbuggy8313 Maybe region-dependant, like the different bosses "decawraith2478" mentioned below?...

[@emperorbuggy8313]

Bosses indeed were different before patch hit.

[@lorenzombolis]

First encounter is almost trivial with Khadgar, Elise and Arfus. Suicide Arfus and swap Niuzao in, and from there it should be a piece of cake. You can even suicide Elise at will by attacking, so that you can maximize chances for Celestial protection.

[@tantalusmkii8658]

Thx. Your tip really helped me. Took 2 trys for the right treasures and I made it.

[@victorr.5782]

OG, couldnt you have gone another two turns with Bwonsamdi? the board was frozen, so its no problem he was on cooldown, no?

[@evanpenuryes3615]

These are getting tedious. Not much room left for innovation or testing. I’m loosing interest in the mode.

[@tomrizzo4177]

Hey OG. I'm completing my first 100 mythic boss runs but definitely not getting ANY RENOWN that is awarded, How do I report a bug ?

[@OldGuardian]

Visual bug. Log in again.

[@andreashobby]

17:47 100% pure luck. With a standard attack extention to around 200 you have no chance to win this fight with only one protection ( or you need to scale it really high) I did it in the same way but bringing Rag instead of Khadgar and let them die in the first round so keeping only the 3 celestials alive

[@carlettasommerville8057]

Ok 🧡🙏🏼

boss lost to bad coding
