Boss Strategy
This guide focuses on the Heroic Brightwing encounter in Moonglade, but also works for the normal version.
Minis in Brightwing’s army
- Blizzard - Brittle Ice
- Faerie Dragon - Phase Shift
- Harpies - Infectious Swipes
- Huntress - Darnassian Steel
- Moonkin - Typhoon
- Prowler - On the Prowl
- Spiderlings - Cave Dwellers
Other minis and map mechanics
Brightwing has a damage shield that mitigates more damage for each Meeting Stone it controls. If you control all three Meeting Stones, the damage shield is completely off.
Brightwing also teleports around the map every 12 seconds.
In Heroic, Brightwing summons a Faerie Dragon at its location every 20 seconds in addition to the Faerie Dragons it plays from its deck.
It is notable that while Brightwing is a Faerie Dragon, it is not immune to poison as it lacks the Nullify trait.
General strategy
At the start of the battle, there are two gold nuggets on the right gold vein and a chest in the middle. Securing these assets is a top priority. Brightwing often starts with a Kobold miner from the right, which you need to take down to be able to mine the vein yourself. Sending an unbound mini to secure the chest is a good way to get an early gold advantage.
Brightwing’s first push usually comes from the left, sometimes from the right. Left is the preferable situation because then you can secure the middle and right Meeting Stones with minimal resources while meeting the push and then taking the left Meeting Stone. If the first push comes from the right, it can delay your push to take all Meeting Stones a little, but you can work with that.
You want to maintain control of the Meeting Stones and attack Brightwing as it keeps teleporting around the map. However, do not focus too much on Brightwing alone, as its minis may wipe out your push and turn the tables on you while all your minis are focused on shooting Brightwing itself. If and when that happens, fight back in a gold-effective way, often letting your base tank a bit of damage, and build a new push.
When defending near your base, it is a good idea to position your damage dealers off to the side and not behind your tank because Brightwing has Huntress who can hit damage dealers behind a tank easily.
Brightwing also has Blizzard available, so try to avoid building too large groups of minis. If you send enough of your minis from different directions, Brightwing may never use Blizzard at all.
You will need to run after the boss a bit in this one, but should be able to whittle it down eventually.
