Mighty Wind Achievement?

[Son Of Mowgef]

I've been trying to get this achievement for a while now and I just can't seem to do it. I've been controlling one of my best guys and hitting a single opponent a few times until his health is low and then spend the next 2 minutes throwing his weapon at the enemy, missing, picking it up, throwing it, missing, over and over until there's 10 seconds left. At that point I just stab the enemy and win.
Is there some trick to this I'm missing? Any tips would be great, since I've only got three achievements left to do on this game and I just can't seem to get this one.

practice match where you are fighting a heap more guys maybe?

Less chances to throw but alot more enemies to possibly hit

Thanks for the suggestion, but I've tried that method. I think the largest part of the problem is that I spend the vast majority of the match throwing a weapon, but I'm only actually hitting anyone something like 1 in every 10 matches and it does such low damage I'm not killing with it. My gladiator has both weapon master and throw master but it's not making enough difference.
It's frustrating because this is the last achievement I have yet to get.

Your mouse cursor aims thrown weapons. There's a card that increases thrown weapon damage. Base weapon damage increases thrown weapon damage, so use multiple weapon master cards.

Or you could get a murmillo, give him the super zweihander, give him curse of mycae, mystic vision, and two weapon master cards. Make sure his strength and attack is maxed out. His throw should do about 200 damage.

It reads "Kill a gladiator with a thrown weapon".

Umm yeah, I know, that's exactly what I've been trying to do. Unsuccessfully. The problem comes from not being able to hit the opponent regularly and not doing enough damage to kill when it does hit.

Didn't sound like you understood that it has to be a kill.

I second N743's idea. Any high level gladiator with Curse of Mysticae should get this easily. Take a gladiator with a quality weapon into a one on one with this card, aim properly, and get your achievement.

I got it without realizing it was an achievement while fighting a Behemoth. I didn't want to get too close and throwing damage was doing good enough for me.

Later went on to start killing people by throwing solely weapons as a sort of challenge run, I found that the Murmillo's zweihander has a larger hitbox (should've assumed this one) and does more damage than other weapons. Just have to aim right, maybe equip the 400% throw damage Jupiter's Blessing, and you'll be rolling in kill throws.

You need to throw from the bottom to the top when he is in you "line". its very easy

hold primary attack away from your opponent then throw, hit them every time on mine. Same with throwing the net but had to do that on a chariot race because they just broke the net every time.
