Within the first Wing of Molten Core you will encounter Lucifron and Magmadar. This is a fairly smooth start to Molten Core with the bosses coming in at level 23 and level 24 respectively. Although there are tougher bosses in the Raid, both still require some consideration and strategy to down.

Eliminate these bosses to earn yourself a Boost Slot which can be used to upgrade one of your Leader's Army Slots so that the Mini in that slot is treated as though it is maxed out (level 20) for XP.

Full build discussion to come. Build will also be updated if new/better strategies come to light over the coming days & weeks.

SUMMARY

  • Both players should run Banshee, and use the Banshee to mind control the mind controlled unit. It will stay under the effects of mind control, even though it's friendly, allowing you to push the tower with ease.
  • Watch out for Living Bomb, don't group up too many units at once, stagger them slightly.
  • Save up gold (eco) ahead of each new phase, as all units near the boss will be cleared when the boss transitions to a new phase.
  • Use Execute liberally on the mini-bosses.

Builds

Full build discussion to come.

Note: We actually used ET + Molten Giant (instead of Ghoul) which was super effective on this boss but since many players won't have a high level Molten Giant, we've swapped in Ghoul which should work just as well.

Second Note: You can really use any Leaders you want for this boss, except of course any Leader you plan on using for one of the later bosses.

SUMMARY

  • This boss doesn't require any precise strategy or units, you just need to try and co-ordinate your push with your ally so you are both pushing into the core hounds at roughly the same time.
  • Use your tanks to clear the path for your AoE units like Huntress, who will make short work of the Core Hounds.
  • Execute is really strong here for taking down the remaining core hounds before they can resurrect each other.
