Yes, that was kind of a tactic, try killing one that started the battle and have all 3 traits šŸ˜ƒ But that is for some reason how it worked since it was released and during the event. ---

Did Amanithrax 100 with Mushroom Man, King Gobtruffle, King Gobtruffle, King Gobtruffle (Ocularen Banner) with no potions. It was extremely boring and slow paced, but not actually difficult in the slightest. Notes: 1 King Gobtruffle was pretty ineffective 2 King Gobtruffle cycled between each other well, but not perfectly 3rd King Gobtruffle saw no action (without potions) It floods a lot of brown on the board so filling Mushroom Man was not a real problem. I would love to explode it off the board, but also donā€™t want to run Exploadstool. I guess the only variation I ā€œmayā€ consider is Mushroom Man, King Gobtruffle, King Gobtruffle, Exploadstool (Ocularen Banner) - banner doesnā€™t seem ideal with the negative Brown, but filling King Gob is top priority. I donā€™t see myself doing 200 without potions, not because of difficulty, but because the monotony is pretty high on this one. Edit: 200 was a joke with potionsā€¦ sticking with Mushroom Man + 3 King Gobtruffles. Edit: 500 was still a joke, though I lost a run because the boss room exploder thought it would be cute to explode and cascade skull kill 2 troops in one turn (after mushroom man got overwhelmed by skulls).

Keeper of Souls reigns supreme. Iā€™ve got a team for that and its the same one I use for Amanithrax. ---

> [@Nullings](#): > > With **blue** and **purple** restrictions. blue: Yet another HKI delve (possibly with Vashā€™Dagon now) Zuulā€™Goth King Gobtruffle purple: Yasmine Keeper of Souls/Mang to name some.

This was the Primal Rift one that matches hereā€¦ Mang Apothecary (Blue) Keeper of Souls (Purple) The Possessed King (Blue/Purple) Kraken Banner or Slayer Bannerā€¦ depends on how you value negative colorsā€¦ also works at Amanithrax (M, Apo (green), KoS (brown), TPK (green)) ---

> [@TheIdleOne](#): > > Mang > Apothecary (Blue) > Keeper of Souls (Purple) > The Possessed King (Blue/Purple) > ~~Kraken Banner~~ or Slayer Bannerā€¦ This is what I use, yes. Figure Slayer makes more sense as there isnā€™t any yellow on the team. Class can be anything with a fast start until things get real tough, at which point Titan (or another barrier class) is far superior because of the brown synergies. ---

No love for Sorrowful Banner? šŸ˜ I havenā€™t used this team in a while, though, so I donā€™t know how each banner flows. Iā€™m guessing TPK can make up for an extra 1 or 2 mana to Apothecary? ---

Sorrowful and Mushroom banners are also good, but at the same time Brown is the primary color (Mang/KoS) so more emphasis on Brown is usually the direction. ---

Yes, this was discussed during the Q&A and 4.5 preview stream. The new Kingdom levels, specifically 12 and 14, will provide faction hoard bonus (+25% per) to their related faction. ---

For me, the main thing this will do is make level 20 farming a little bit easier šŸ˜ /I would have a broader selection of viable AoE troops to choose from šŸ˜›. ---
