[Mercs] Bwonsamdi cheese for elite encounters

I just discovered that when using Bwonsamdi’s second skill (Irrefusable Deal) to become immune and then return all mercs to the bench at the end of the turn, it means that the AI can only return 3 mercs to the board next turn, even when it’s an elite encounter where the AI starts with 4 mercs on board.

That substantially reduces the difficulty for elite encounters, especially on Heroic and/or at role disadvantage.

Try it on boss fights with high numbers (Fish of N’Zoth or maybe even Heroic Drek’Thar, although I haven’t tested it). But then again, the ridiculousness of Bwonsamdi has been suspected since his announcement — it’s just turned out to be even more than initially thought with elite or boss fights.

I am not a bad player.

Well… No offence, but I think some self-criticism could help one improve a lot.

PS Yeah, I remember you and your difficulties and I know what I’m talking about. Reading what enemy abilities do, for instance, is definitely cheating and is utterly impossible without unbelievable luck (yeah, every time) and spending a lot of money.

I found that easiest team for Medivh is a shadow team with Vol’jin, Azshara, Kazakus and Bwonsamdi.

Since I don’t like those folks, my recommendation would be the good old Xyrella, Velen and Anduin. Yep, these three can clear the whole (heroic) encounter without losses (unlike some other parties) easily, just don’t pick any stupid treasures that can mess it up.
