Boss Strategy

Updated: January 2025

STRATEGY

Note: This is probably the hardest boss in Molten Core currently. If you have a Wildcard slot unlocked for Rend, use the Execute version of the deck (second tab on the build) - it will make it much easier to defend against the pushes at each intermission.

  • The high-level strategy is that you want to capture towers so you can control the economy and coordinate timed assaults against Geddon.
  • You will want to take this fight slow, capturing most of the objectives and economy as you push him one phase at a time. This is because at the start of each phase, Geddon will summon an army to assault your base. The key to this encounter is ensuring that you have captured 2-3 Towers before pushing into each new phase. It will make it so much easier to deal with the assault at each intermission.
  • Gargoyle is very powerful in this encounter, especially when paired with Faerie Dragon to provide it with resist. When you want to push Geddon, send in a Gargoyle with Resist.
  • Send your Meat Wagons to nuke Geddon while the Gargoyle is tanking him.
  • When you are past Phase 1, keep an eye on where the Lava Tornados are moving. Avoid them and be efficient with your placements. Capture gold mines with your Dark Iron Miner whenever it's safe to do so.
  • I also cannot stress enough how much easier this encounter is when you are maximising the value from your 2x Dark Iron Miners to control the economy. There are 4x nodes on this map, never let them be sitting at 3x gold ores.
  • You might find that you need to play safe and wait until Overtime before really pushing Geddon down, especially if you are lower level.

Boss Strategy

Updated: January 2025

Note: If you don't have Malfurion, don't worry as this strategy can be done with any other Leader, though we'd recommend Charlga (with Cavernous Mists).

STRATEGY

  • These builds make use of the popular 'flyer' strategy which involves sending flying units en masse down the centre lane to try and avoid the Core Hound mechanics.
  • The giant Core Hound will charge to a lane whenever it detects ground units there. For that reason, we will be playing almost no ground units. If you do play Charlga for example, don't play her in the centre lane that you are pushing.
  • Defend your base with spells and flying units. If you can, try to drop the flying units in the centre lane so that they can push after they defend.
  • Use spells (Blizzard and/or Poly) to defend your push in the mid lane, Blizzard will usually be able to deal with the Firehammers and Pyromancers.
  • You can mine the right node with your kobold but be careful with your timing as it will cause the Core Hound to charge to the right side of the map if its not already there.
