Is the game currently unbeatable?

[dredogg34]

I've played for several hours and made it to the Golem, who seems like he is unbeatable in the current game. Has anyone had better luck facing this last boss?

[BeRewt]

I finished twice already, it seems hard to do it without a defensive build though (for me at least)

[Peeto]

you must collect more fire cards to fight him
and keep more potions to kill him

after gameover I just spam fire card to kill him, lol so the way I kill him is keep HP 100+ (or use shield potion) so you can survive when he attack 1 time.
then you must kill him until he can attack again

if u can't kill him in time, use Stun potion to stop him 1 turn (and hope u get some attack card next turn) or use Elf Paladin card that can Stun (80percent)

so if u got Weapon that can increase cri rate, it can kill this golem (he got 10 shield that hard to do damage to him)
just drink potion +2 element, cri potion, then kill him in one turn!


---------
some attack cards that I use to kill this Golem

Warrior (crit 40per) + weapon cri35/cri80 per >>> So she can do a lot of damage cuz 100 percent cri rate >>> if can use +1 hit card, she gonna be OP with 3 hit count

Ska (hard to get) [summon Meteor x4 ATK] >>> So huge dmg that even he not fire element still hurt a lot [That game I got Earth Ska]

Strombringer (hard to get) (5 hit count) + ATK weapon or cri rate or Potion 100 per CRIT>>> after replay until got 66/72 cards collection I think he is the best attack card (cuz no need to be Leader, so you can Leader another card to rise his ATK or CRIT rate or AOE, lol)

hope this help, this game is so fun.

waiting for the full version

[Prelude]

I Focus on fire and earth cards only, get a few heavy attackers, and keep the deck size small. Remove the starter cards when you can(not the knight), I typically remove the starter defensive cards when available(replaced by choosing better defensive cards as you go).

I skip the majority of card rewards and aim for cards with either high attack, high defense, or counter attack. If i get always leader items I choose other cards and go more offensive, otherwise its a defensive battle.

Elf Paladins can carry you when you don't have good offensive choices.


Some of the cards stun and those are invaluable.

Beat it today with like 20 health left. Survived 3 or 4 of his 150 dmg attacks as my deck had some decent defense synergies. First time I encountered him so wasnt sure what to expect so I was a bit lucky I guess. Had a crit potion that i popped at a good time so I did like 60% of his hp with 2x warriors with good equipment.

[Iks]

I killed him in 2 turns with Knight + Berserker + Multihit elf girl and knight + give multihit to person to right + multihit elf girl.
Surviving this fight seems really difficulty, but just bursting him down makes him very very easy. The 3x hit elf girl seems broken strong, even without items. This clear was without any items on her.

If I had a crit potion, I could have killed him in 1 turn.

If your deck is small, you can go purely aggro and just use the discard button. to make sure you get your big hitting combo. Things like berserker, dark mage, elf girl.

but most of my win were done by maxing shield before fighting boss using the earlier stage.

[dredogg34]

Thanks for all the tips everyone, i was able to beat the boss now! It was super fun to thin out the deck and go for giant combo

It's easy, as long as you know ahead of time to prepare specifically for the final boss. He seems to be the only thing that's a challenge (at least it seems that way so far). So focus on getting good fire cards, specifically like the berserker and upgrade knight if you can. That's what I did to win. I had like 6 red cards, 3 blue, and 3 green or something like that. I just kept cycling each turn until I had 3 OP red cards to use together and GG. Really only 2: the knight and berserker. I gave an item that made my green stun elf "always the leader" but I didn't even think to use her because triple red > 2 red 1 green anyway. Should've given it to one of the red dudes so they could both be leader but oh well.

He only attacked once, and I had so much shield it didn't even hurt me. Beat it with max health remaining. Easy.

I used 1 crit potion and 1 shield potion. I had roughly 110 shield and it gave me another 50 to stave off his ~150 attack. Just for funsies, not that I needed EITHER potion.

Not only is the Golem beatable, it is even possible to kill the Golem in a single round. With Attack Signalist+, Ska, Knight+, a Commander in the back line, and the Strange Gear artifact. the Golem died to the first Meteor.

Tips:
As others have said, try to build a heavy hitter in Fire element.

With Luca, I always upgrade the starting Knight to a Fire Knight+ and equip items that grant Leadership and Attack.

Attack Signalists are another great unit to rank up.

A Commander (or Commander+) in the back line has a large affect on damage output.

Shadow Divines are a great way to add both offense and defense.

Stuns are a great way to prolong the fight.

Critical Hits double damage. Swordsmen and Warriors are strong because of it. Give them equipment to increase Crit chance.

Use Triple Elixir and Crit Potions to increase the output of your best attack. Do not waste them on anything else.

Do not accept every reward. If the unit does not strengthen the build, leave without it.

Thin your deck. It is very important to remove your Trainees. Equip Shoes on them if you cannot get rid of them to help cycle through to the better units.

Best of luck!

just beat it. you really need to mind your build.

my generic shield wielder suddenly have 30+ damage, which was buffed by berserker, knight and the commander on the back field. and since it was fire type, it dealt 50 damage to the last boss (stone golem, earth type, with 10 def)

lucky for me the fire drops complemented my strategy. consequently makes me question how can you beat the golem without relying on fire cards. I don't think pray to rng gods will do it.

I think it's bad game design when you are forced to build a certain way the WHOLE game just to beat the final boss, instead of just playing what you get and having fun with what RNG gives you. Knock on the Coffin Lid was the same way and I complained and complained, devs never changed it. This game is still in its early stages so hopefully it changes.

The best solution, IMO, is to make the final boss easier.....but also have, like, 3 or so versions of it, just like Slay the Spire so you have to be thinking about all 3 bosses at end game, but at the same time, you're not really screwed if you build wrong because they're not super hard.

And part of the problem is the way armor works. Armor takes away damage BEFORE buffs and multipliers are calculated, making his 10 armor insane and there's just no way to remove it (that I know of). I think a proper nerf to this boss would make the armor akin to Slay the Spire's plated armor, which would fall off by 1 for each time he's hit. Therefore a proper defense setup could beat him, it would just take a while instead of a lifetime.

[tiamats4esgares]

This is how you do it. :P

Used a potion twice to make the next triple +2. And a potion to make all hits crit. EZ.

(Since it's so easy to OTK, or at least few-turns-kill, I think it'd be less important to NEED mostly fire cards if Flame Spirit was guaranteed. My suggestion, to the dev, is to make it somehow guaranteed we get a spirit of our choice at some point. Then again...I think the boss needs to be easier and more boss variety.)

The Golem is not the final boss. The heroes are making their way to fight the demon lord. Who knows what the end game will be like at this point.

[Hobimania]

not unbeatable, but the chance are slim. to defeat golem, fire build is required. i use fire warrior, berserker and double attack shoes. also shield and triple potion. i try a lot of different build and failed, it feels like only one solution,. after you finished the game once, there's nothing else to do.

Have you collected all the Units, Artifacts, Equipment, and Consumables?

Have you beat the early access game using different builds?

Yes, the game has limited plays at the moment, but it is not limited to one build. I get to the boss and win the majority of times now. I have only lost to him once in the last 10 runs.
