Boss Strategy

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

Note: Geddon has a lot of resistance so Talon Dive might be better than Infectious Swipes here but the harpies are great for defending against the Gargoyles too.

SUMMARY

  • Basically you want to capture towers so you can coordinate a push against the boss when it reaches that tower, it doesn't really matter which towers you go for but we went for bottom right (first push) and top left (planned second push).
  • Rend soaks a tonne of hits from this boss, allowing you to get Geddon seriously low if you can get your harpies in there at the right position. Gryphon with Mighty Throw is also great for melting the boss while its occupied.
  • Use Rend, Blizzard and Drake defensively, Quilboar can distract approaching enemy pushes. With one player running Banshee, you can Mind Control the Gargoyles.

Boss Strategy

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

Note: We found this boss quite challenging... until we realised that you can get past the first two phases just using Whelp Eggs. Kind of a strange boss - definitely steers you down the path of playing an artillery build again. Hopefully it gets changed so it can attack air in the early stages and players are forced to play with the runes etc.

Also Note: Drak Deathball push also seems to be a great strategy for this boss, barrelling up a single lane, if you'd prefer that playstyle.

SUMMARY

  • Drop whelp eggs on the Boss during Phase 1 + 2, he can't attack air so once he has popped the eggs, the whelps will just nuke him down. Units spawned beside him will kill the whelps so you may need to drop them a couple of times.
  • In Phase 3 + 4, use Execute and Blizzard to nuke the boss down. He will gain an AoE burn around him that makes Whelp Eggs much less useful. Remember to defend your base as it will get pretty tough in these last two phases.
  • Use your Banshees to Mind Control the Core Hounds. As with previous bosses, this is a great strategy because you don't have to worry about the Core Hounds resurrecting each other.
  • Harpies are really great for dealing with both the normal Core Hounds and the mini-boss Core Hounds, even though they do slowly die to the larger Core Hounds.
