i've been stuck trying to defeat the boss of the icy frontier
how can i defeat it
it's easy if you will get 2 items (one more is optional) and 1 spell and you can just go to the boss after it.
1 - get dragon wand for better damage and one spell
2 - get Pyromancer's Mantle for even more damage and same spell
2.5 (optional) - get Aegis Amulet for deffence for battle to be easier cuz you can drop the card for mana and 1 armor and not just 1 mana
3 - get spell Incendio (get to building which clones your rare spell and clone it and you can use same building to clone incendio before boss battle)
4 - use protego minor in a deck 4-5 times and Incendio 4-3 times
5 - at the start do 2 Incendio to the snowman and maximum your defence to get as little damage as possible (with aegis amulet and a bit of luck you'll get 2 incendio and protego maxima at your first hand so you'll use 2 incendio drop 1 card and use protego maxima to get enough defence)
6- use incendio as much as posible without taking too much damage
Win a long war of attrition. Before getting into the fight, have a -2 damage taken buff for one fight, from one of the nodes on the map (sacrificing a rare card).
The “Arcane Knowledge” card, despite its current bugs, has a use to make basic shields and basic attacks free (so you can spend mana on draw). Abusing the armor buff, you can cast it without taking self-damage.
I won on my first try, with a bad matchup, a deck oriented to abuse poison stacking - that doesn’t work too well when the elf purges all debuffs (stuns help but are unreliable). But you can still do that effectively if you also have the epic card that prematurely triggers and removes all poison as a payoff card.
