Coven difficulty

[MadFlacc]

I've tried it on Radiant for the third time now, and keep getting TPKd by bosses. Is it me? Or do you find Kingdoms generally, and the coven in particular, really hard?

[Loyal Cygnaran]

I have a LOT of experience. But I don't find them that hard at all. For wiping to bosses do you mean lair bosses or final bosses? One of the coven steps starts spawning lairs consistently but my number 1 suggestion is to not tackle these lairs immediately!! The entirety of escalation 2 is basically resting on killing one lair boss so... You have all that time to prepare before tackling the boss. I think a lot of people struggle on pausing the quest to grow their own strength first if that makes sense

You do not have to fight a lair boss in Kingdoms. There is part of the Coven campaign where you have to tackle some sort of elite fight to progress, but that can simply be a bounty on a Champion, or a roaming mini boss, or Shambler, or if I'm not mistaken, even a bounty on a Creature Den (could be mistaken though).

In Kingdoms, anything above Escalation 1 is going to be harder than "normal", including lairs, but you have more time to strengthen a team, so late in Escalation 2 is usually when there's more confidence for a lair fight, again though, not that it's necessary even in the Coven campaign.

On the contrary, The beastmen were more dangerous, considering that on escalation 3 with the constant Strenght token spam and the +3 flat damage of Berserker, a single crit from the Huntsman was insta deaths door on every class with less than 30HP. Witches are far easier to dealt with. As Lair Bosses go, no difference from the main mode. Go to them when you are upgraded and each hero has a defined playstyle or path. Dont ignore fatigue, and beware on which Escalation you fight them
