Minis in Rattlegore’s army

• Abomination
• Ghoul
• Necromancer
• Plague Farmer
• Skeletons
• Vultures

Other minis and map mechanics

Rattlegore summons graves all over the map. The graves last for 10 seconds unless disturbed, but if any unit passes over them, including flying units, the grave will dissipate and spawn a miniature version of Rattlegore and two Skeletal Mages.

The little Rattlegores are not nearly as scary as the big one: they have 350 Health and deal only 50 damage with their cleave attack. Their cleave does have a Lifesteal effect, so they can heal up a lot if you meet them with Squad minis.

Rattlegore itself has two attacks: a 120-degree cleave attack with a major Lifesteal effect and a 360-degree Bone Storm without Lifesteal. You want to keep only a few minis in front of Rattlegore to prevent it from healing too much.

General strategy

Because graves spawn often all over the map, you want to push through a narrow corridor to avoid opening too many of them. As there are two nuggets of gold on the gold vein on the right side of the map at the start, the right side becomes the natural choice to be able to secure those resources. You do not want to send anything elsewhere, not even miners.

Push through the right side and try to turn Rattlegore away from your damage dealers both to protect them and to prevent Rattlegore from healing too much with its Lifesteal cleave attack.

Minis in Darkmaster Gandling’s army

• Ghoul
• Harpies
• Living Bomb
• Meat Wagon
• Necromancer
• Skeletons
• Worgen

Other minis and map mechanics

Darkmaster Gandling patrols the middle corridor and summons teleportation runes as he goes. Each rune lasts for 10 seconds before dissipating. If your minis enter the rune, they are teleported to a specific location and a number of enemy minis will spawn:

• Left rune teleports to top left where a chest, 2 Skeletons, and 3 Skeletal Mages will spawn
• Middle rune teleports to the middle where a chest and an Abomination will spawn
• Right rune teleports to top right where a chest, 2 Ghouls, and 3 Harpies will spawn

General strategy

You do not want your minis to be running all over the map because the more runes they activate, the more free minis Gandling gets. Because the right rune spawns the most enemies, you want to focus on the left side and push from there. As a further upside, the left lane gold vein has two gold nuggets at the start, so you may be able to secure access to those as well.

When your minis are teleported, you want to secure the chest to gain a gold advantage instead of giving that advantage to Gandling. Both your teleported minis and the newly-spawned enemies are briefly stunned, so you can add some unbound minis or spells to help in the fight to make sure you end up as the winner.

You need to keep an eye on your base. Gandling has Meat Wagons, which can shoot from outside your Core range, and he also loves to summon Skeletons and Worgen right at your base. If left unattended, the base can fall to the unbound minis alone.

As your push reaches Gandling, you want to turn him around with an Unbound tank to prevent his area damage from hitting your damage dealers.
