Hi so far I’ve beaten the Lich King with Priest, Druid, Rogue and Warrior. I was trying to beat him with Mage, but I don’t really know what to do. I feel like you’re supposed to go for the infinite fireball combo, but I don’t have the cards for that and I keep dying.
Any suggestions on other ways to win?
Wow, I was just doing the LK clears with my alt account 2 days ago. I didn’t even know about the infinite damage combo. One thing that works with most classes many classes is to put some vicious fledglings in your deck, cheap spells to protect them and hope you beat him before he gets the Frostmourne out.
This by itself can be pretty frustrating (I’m looking at you obliterate), but if you had crafted molten giants when it went to hall of fame and haven’t disenchanted them again they can make your life a lot easier in the mage, warlock and hunter challenges. Sea giants might also work since he likes to spread but they come out later so they aren’t nearly as effective.
If all else fails you could always put in some healing cards like ice barrier along with some early removal and then use doomsayers/mossy to deal with his frostmourne and beat him in a similar fashion as you did with rogue and the others.
Oh yeah I don’t really know if I’m playing it right, because usually I had just been trying to survive until I could pull of some crazy power turns. Like I used the double divine spirit inner fire combo in priest, infinite pogo hoppers in rogue, spreading plague + buffs + giant beasts and gloopsprayer in druid. Only in warrior did I just beat him down because I have Dr. Boom.
I could see how molten giant would be helpful, but I don’t want to craft cards just for this challenge and wild.
I guess I’ll try using vicious fledgling. That sounds like it might work if I get windfury into untargetable from spells.
Basically all classes vs lich king can be done playing murlock agro and burn before frostmourn. The exact same deck even works for 4 or 5 classes. But swaping some cards helps make it easier.
If you have the two Molten Giants, and draw both in your mulligan / first couple of turns, it is a relatively easy win. But of course MG is a Wild only card that’s kinda expensive to craft (it also helps if you have Ice Block, which is also an epic). You can also hard mulligan for Kabal Lackey + Counterspell on turn 1, which will allow you to stay at full health as Mage. This is cheaper than Molten Giants but of course will require you to restart many times. The Murloc package works too but worse than with Shaman or Paladin.
Seeing that you haven’s won with Warrior yet as well, Warrior was my favourite LK game! I discovered the Grim Patron + Frothing Berserker combo thanks to it (I started well after Grim Patron rotated and was a complete beginner when I did Icecrown), so my attempts to beat the LK pretty much introduced me to Warrior as a class. Never even toucher it on ladder before!
