Guide for Hard mode (Difficult and Champion battles) - Berkana

A little help for each of the difficult version of the battles on hard mode. I will go through some basic strategy and deck I have used to beat it. The guide wont give you 100% chance to win the fight, but its more like "I have beaten it with this deck, perhaps you could too." :)

Intro

I have noticed lot of people having trouble with some of the fights, so I will try to describe the deck I used and a basic strategy that I used. I hope it helps :)

I will write the fights in order that I fought them so when I show the deck I used, as long as you have gone through the fights in the same order you should have access to all the cards as I had.

Also this is no way the only strategy that you need to use nor the best (it could be but I didnt test it).

Mirinas Qualification (Bottom)

Start with buying Skovos from the merchant.

This is the deck that I used.


This level is easy. Just focus his units, his deck is small so he will run out of cards sooner than you.

PS: I named this deck "Main Deck" for a reason. I will use Berkanian units with support of deserter + poisonous touch A LOT. This will be my main deck for majority of the fights. And we will refine it as we win more cards.

Mirina Qualification (Left)

Lets go here next, this fight is sooo easy. Just use the deck from last time wait until you draw Skovos and keep him attacking (so he wont go closer to the middle line). Put veteran rings on him, warlock behind him, good game, you cant lose this.

Veterans gloves are going to be a great addition to our main deck, and lots of others.

Mirina

Use either Guardian or Militia with protection from shooters upgrade to block the main guy, then you should be able win, the rest of opponent deck is not that good.

Thorks Qualification

Block the ways with militia/guardian/deserter+shield, and push through (Switching deserters armor pene for +2 attack is better for this fight)

Thork

10 turns doesnt sound like much time but it is, try to push through one side, and use your tanks on the other side to hold them a little where you dont want to attack.

Arkhans armor is a another nice addition to a lot of our decks.

Dofus Qualification (Bottom)

I was a bit lucky to beat this one. I would advice beating one (or both) right adjutants 1st and get traitors dagger, this would make the fight much easier. Otherwise, the strategy here is to ofc get rid of the archer asap. So, start with lots of bandits, put a deserter behind or he will get sniped, and then kill the archer with our favorite deserter + poisonous touch combo

Dofus Qualification (Right)

This one is a bit trickier, you want to roll either blade master or if you dont find blade master, battle Sorcerer could be viable as well. (Enforcer with 3 items upgrade could also work, but I didnt tested it.)

When you go towards the commander, try to kill as many units as possible on the way, then defend with the reinforcements.

(note: Shock is not good here, enemy units have 6+ hp while shock deals only 5 dmg)

Dofus

Use this deck and hope you get Skovos on your very first turn? Is this a viable strategy? Because I dont have better one...

Skols Qualification

This one is easy, dont use militia and slayer, they are not good here. You should be able to win with this deck.

Skol

Another easy one, choose Gaben to keep the 2 warriors in check with stuns, then use our very favorite deserter + poisonous touch combo. Take care... with Gaben and this deck you have 6 spells, dont use them all!

Dirk

Pretty easy fight. Just throw everything at them, put archer back with wolfs jaw, let him get buffed and win.

-When you 1st hurt enemy champion, he will push all units back, be prepared and leave at least one line open, or you wont be able to place a unit once this happens.
-Let the archers finish the job, if you see an archer with 5hp and other with 1, kill the one with 5 hp and the archers will kill the others, so you can use other units to dmg the commander for instance

Champion (Eik)

The finale, I will go here to a little bit more details, but once you know what to expect, it isnt that difficult and the time limit is very generous.

This is the deck that we are going to use.


Now for the strategy.
-On the 1st phase, you will need to preserve your cards, I completed the 1st phase with only one unit, one spell and one item (you get both the spell and the item at the start from Eik).
-Kill the units only, if you are able to move before that, otherwise skip them, they will die anyway.
-Blademaster is by far the best for this job, but deserter or battle sorcerer are viable as well.



-Try to find the balance to where you send the units, but prioritize the bottom one.
-Use the remaining Crusher spell there to finish it faster
-You should be able to kill him and all his units with max 4 of your own.


-When you go to 3rd phase, he will push your units back, so leave at least one line open so you can place a unit on that turn + try to place all units on one line so you have units as close to the champion as you can.


-I used battle sorcerer to kill the special unit, but I designed the deck to use our now pretty much signature move of this guide: deserter + poisonous touch combo.


-And its done, congratulations! :)

Finale

I hope this guide helped! I will make another tournament later.

Its my 1st guide so I hope its readable.

Any feedback is appreciated.

ok I switched that, and I remember that fight in Gollah, I think I summarized the pain I had in the pictures in there :D. I put a note on that mission saying the guide is outdated for that one. Thanks

[bijou]

All you need to do is simply switch Mirina's fight with Mirina's left qualification as we switched them because the qualification fight was harder than the fight against the adjutant. Hence the confusion.

There were no big changes in the fights except for the one in the third tournament, the one you mentioned as 'too random'.

[Hofi]

I wrote this guide more than a year ago, and I heard there were changes so it looks like that the guide will be outdated for some of the fights. I am sorry I dont plan to update the guide anytime soon.

[Fenek]

Dude - poison don't work for Mirina's immortal unit, I can't use shooter or Skovos, Slayer and Deserter are useless now, how to fight her? I have only 2 attempts left...

[Salt_Machine]

With Mirina I used a deserter with a shield and swapped out skovos for Slayer.

[Salt_Machine]

Might want to update: Mirina as you can't use a shooter anymore so therefore you can use Skovos

[Hofi]

I am glad you found the guide useful... I had a lot of fun making it

[bijou]

Thank you for the guide, I will be sharing it with players who are struggling on that difficulty but stubborn enough to continue :)

[Gløgghurt]

You did good sir. Very easy to follow along.
