This is a game of status effects, spam em. Avoid the melee dragon/lizard guy cuz he can transfer status effects onto you. Use direct damage on it or time it to a round where you can OTK before the reflect kills one of ur guys, or dispel it. Some status effects like poison bypass shields.

Oh damn you can dispel powers like their OP guard thing? I use bleed on them but it just keeps triggering their guard power where every time they attacked they give armour and fortify to the lowest hp minion. literally tried for an hour and a half restarting but couldn't do it lol

To get rid of enemy boons, you need cards with "Purge". These are relatively rare and typically mage or supporter cards and tend to kill one or two effects. In most combats that is all a particular enemy has.

The simplest solution to most of these kinds of problem is not specialized cards that you have to draw in the right turns, though, but simply having an overall synergistic team with lots of well-chosen perks and streamlined, upgraded decks.

Especially the defensive nightmares of some enemies can simply be overwhelmed by enough force and/or mitigation on your side. Imho the "Lizard Boys" are the more annoying part of this fight with their buff/debuff transferring you can not really play around well.

I don't have any of these purge cards, again this fight only is like banging my head against a brick wall and needs to be heavily heavily nerfed. I am doing fine on all other fights but whenever I get to this fight I lose all my runs.

You can buy a cheap purge card on priests, shadow type. It's the best one imo.

A bless or sharpness build is better for those fights, since they let you build up damage on your characters. Bless is easiest, for self with the super cheap holy smite, or with the bless-all heal-all that cost 5.
Once you have either a sharp or bless build going on at least a character, you'll be able to win most lasting fights.
