Boss Strategy
This guide focuses on the Heroic Ramstein the Gorger encounter in Plaguelands, but also works for the normal version.
Minis in Ramstein the Gorger’s army
- Banshee - Unholy Frenzy
- Execute - Overpower
- Harpies - Infectious Swipes
- Huntress - Elven Might
- Necromancer - Jeweled Skulls
- Plague Farmer - Virulence
- Spiderlings - Cave Dwellers
Other minis and map mechanics
Ramstein begins the encounter with a rather impressive army on the board: 6 Abominations, 2 Gargoyles, and 4 Skeletal Mages surround Ramstein. Luckily, they will not all attack you at once.
Two Abominations are the first to attack, they start moving through the middle lane at 3:15. Another two Abominations and a Gargoyle start moving through the top lane at 2:45. Finally, the last two Abominations and a Gargoyle start moving through the bottom lane at 1:35. None of these attacking troops respawn.
The Skeletal Mages guard Ramstein and will respawn after a short period of time if slain.
Ramstein’s Abominations are special in the Heroic version: when they hook a target, they instantly eat it. Because Abominations only hook Ranged minis, your Flying and Melee units are safe from this ability. The Abominations also have the Noxious Presence talent that gives them a poison cloud around them.
General strategy
The easiest way to defeat Ramstein is to push with Chimaeras through the middle. Ramstein has a good chunk of Health, so poison is a good way to eat through that, and Flying units are effective also because they fly over the Abominations. You want to get two or more Chimaeras to Ramstein by deploying them on paths where there are no minis that could harm them. Sometimes, you may need to send even three waves of attackers.
Harpies can also help, but Ramstein will start knocking them out as they approach, and any Skeletal Mages will also shoot at them. Harpies are excellent for taking out Abominations.
Ramstein can only attack air units one-by-one and only every 6 seconds. It deals 160 damage with its anti-air attack, so it needs three hits to knock out a level 21 Chimaera and two hits to take down a level 20 or lower Chimaera.
You will need some tools to support your Flying units because Ramstein often summons minis near himself, and those minis include Huntress, Necromancer, and Banshee. Polymorph, Blizzard, and Quilboar are among the tools you may want to use to distract and destroy Ramstein’s defenses.
Ramstein is not defeated so quickly that you could ignore defense. You will often need to let the enemies start hitting your base before deploying your troops to take them out. Ramstein’s Spiderlings have Stealth, but you can reveal them with an Unbound mini or use Dire Batlings that can detect minis through Stealth. You can also let your base tank them for a while, but they stack up poison quite quickly, so you don’t want to tank them for long.
