Sorry, im going to repost this message here. It’s going to be easier to update.
All factions done without potions (posted on the forum):All Seeing Eye - 100 Hoard Lvl - 10 Kingdom Lvl - 3x Nysha by meyoko — {100 True Hoard}
+Amanithrax - 111 Hoard Lvl - 10 Kingdom Lvl - No Medals by Dust_Angel — {111 True Hoard}
The Warrens 500 - hoard 175, kingdom level 15; Cedric, Anu, Nysha (had them from previous team and forgot to think about possible changing); three weeks of trying.
Team - Luna, Luna, Rabbit, Luna.
Summary - luck, luck, luck
[Capture]
Also, Amanithrax should be the easiest faction to do.
I won with hoard 111 (before medals and deeds) running Mushroom Man/3x Gobtruffle; my brother did the same on hoard 100.
I guess the trick is to survive long enough for two Gobtruffles to collect full mana…

+Dark Pits - 160 Hoard Lvl - 14 Kingdom Lvl - (Anu, 2x Orpheus) by xolid99 — {240 True Hoard}
Dark Pits done, Hoard 160, 50% bonus, 2 Cedric, 1 Anu, no medals (don’t work).
Sledgepaw
2 x Hex Rat
Rattigar
Basically tried Rattigar in top slot for the curse on skulls, but going round the outside paths, you’ve got to be really lucky it does not die to skulls, 2 hits it’s dead. Had it at Hoard 144 from ages back, had 3 goes after doing Amanithrax at weekend.
So today, after a fail at 144, went with Silver Banner and restored Sledgepaw up top and raised to 155. Failed at boss miserably af…

Kobold Knight

Emperinanazara
I chose middle path:
III lvl (Golem / Tome of Evil / Void Portal / Sacrificial Priest);
Obvious strategy: waiting, until Priest do all work and not killed yourself first. I was lucky and it worked.
IV lvl (Dire Wolf, Cu Sith, Warg, Fenrir);

Fang Moor Level 249

+Fellroost - 100 Hoard Lvl - 14 Kingdom Lvl - Anu, Nysha, Season by xolid99 — {150 True Hoard}
Fell Roost Complete Potionless
Hoard 100, bonus 50% (it is a magic kingdom after all!)
Team
Undead Drake
Nocturnia x 2
Fell Dragon Egg
Banner - Fell Roost 2 yellow, 1 purple - green
Medals 1 Nysha, 1 MOS, 1 Anu
Elite troops - nil
Pre-battle, no faction attempt in faction event; took it to 340 I think in there, then levelled it with daily delves.

6th attempt, 1st attempt with Mythic Nocturnias (orbed it and forgot to level, yep had to orb it, insufficient shards)

+Frostfire Keep - 240 Hoard Lvl - 14 Kingdom Lvl - 2x Nysha, Yasmine by xolid99 — {360 True Hoard}
I don’t know how sane I am, but I persisted in the face of only ever killing 2 single troops in the boss room for the past 2 weeks at it.
I finally did Frostfire Keep without potions, but it was not pretty and is a tough one with poor targetting.
[image]
I was dead set against using the Witch really, but it is essential to help target nasty things like Lady Ironbeard or help your Wraith on the AI Wraith.
I went

+Hall of Guardians - 100 Hoard Lvl - 15 Kingdom Lvl - 3x Season by Magnusimus — {150 True Hoard}
Okay, so last week was a good one for me: 2 out of the 3 I wanted to pure-clear done (and I got robbed on the third, I swear—lost my harpies, they would not respawn for what felt like 50 turns, and so despite having 1k life in Xochi and Bladewing saved up I eventually died to magic-skulls-from-sky bull-honky).
I scrolled through over 750+ posts on the early days to see if it was even worth talking about beating Hall of Guardians or Crypt Keepers, but quickly realized back then everyone was just…
+Illithia - 100 Hoard Lvl - 10 Kingdom Lvl - Anu, 2x Nysha by Keldi — {100 True Hoard}
Illithia, Pure Faction 500
no portions, kingdom level 10, hoard 100, equipped Anu + 2xNysha medals
Team: Ilithian Colossus + Hive Mind + Illithian Servitor + Hive Mind, Fell Banner (+2 yellow, + purple, - green)
[6914,6916,6915,6916,3061]
It took me just 2 attempts (first time lost some troops in the second room).
In the boss room I started casting my Servitor only after all the magic was taken from the enemy.
First I took magic from Servitor and Colossus (casting my Hive Mind or Colossus …
+Lyrasza’s Lair - 202 Hoard Lvl - 14 Kingdom Lvl - Anu, Nysha, Season by Dust_Angel — {303 True Hoard}
[Capture]
The dreadful lair of random!
Hoard 202 + 50% bonus from deed upgrades
3x Dementicore/Lyrasza with faction banner; Anu/Seasons/Nysha medals
I had been on/off trying it ever since release (with also beating potionless Silver Necropolis in between); having cheated by completing it during initial event helped, I guess, immensely because now it’s easy to just shun all the frustration with - whatever, I don’t care, I’ve already maxed the delve so awful random doesn’t matter.
Two middle…
+Mirrored Halls - 100 Hoard Lvl - 10 Kingdom Lvl - 3x Gaard by Magnusimus — {100 True Hoard}
I don’t know if this has been confirmed elsewhere or if it will help anyone, but I beat Pure Faction Mirrored Halls with very minimal effort. Definitely on my list of factions to recommend to players just looking to max one with minimal investment—all this faction takes is time and patience in my experience, but victory is assured if you don’t quit the match.
The basic strategy is:
Copycat
Mirror Queen
Copycat
Mirror Queen
Maintain that order with your own summons, sacrifice anyone you see…
+Primal Rift (Bottom Route) ###No Longer Availiable### - 100 Hoard Lvl - 10 Kingdom Lvl - No Medals by jzg — {100 True Hoard}
+Primal Rift (Middle Route) - 100 Hoard Lvl - 10 Kingdom Lvl - Anu, 2x Orpheus by Spectrum — {100 True Hoard}
@Eika If it gives you any confidence, I completed Primal Rift in December (so new layout I assume) with faction hoard 100, Forest of Thorns at level 10 and the epic faction pet. I used Redthorn, Dark Dryad, Alderfather, Alderfather (All Seeing Eye banner) and used the Treant strategy. I’m sorry to say I didn’t make notes of the rooms I encountered. It took me about 2 weeks of trying. I remember being able to make it to the boss room fairly often, but usually only after losing Dark Dryad.
+Sea of Sorrow - 199 Hoard Lvl - 12 Kingdom Lvl - Anu, 2x Nysha by MadDwarf — {249 True Hoard}
@Texugo-928 , just completed Sea of Sorrow with TH 248 (Hoard 199, Kingdom 12), no potions. Team was Hammerclaw, Sea Witch, 2x The Deep King, Sea of Sorrow banner. Medals for the first and last fight were Anu, 2x Nysha.
The board was fairly kind. 2nd fight was Faery Ring (Fey Cap, Giant Toadstool, Florian, Glitterclaw.) Fey Cap does scatter damage, and your team is submerged most of the time. Toadstool didn’t get to convert, but I wouldn’t have been too upset if he had - the chance to convert th…
+Silver Necropolis - 100 Hoard Lvl - 10 Kingdom Lvl - 3x Nysha by TheIdleOne — {100 True Hoard}
Just beat Silver Necropolis with Hoard 100 no potions first try after medal update. All I can recommend is don’t do it at Hoard 100. Beating on an enemy Bone Golem for 33 skull damage with resummons feels so futile when the enemy casts for 124 armor.
It took me 30 minutes alone to kill off the last room Bone Golem.
[image]
1st Room was easy
2nd Room was against Viper Nest. Death Mark made short work of this room, but not before Viper got a cast off on my Bone Golem killing my second slot. V…

+Stonesong Eyrie (Respawns with 3rd Trait) - 116 Hoard Lvl - 14 Kingdom Lvl - 3x Nysha by Magnusimus — {174 True Hoard}
Well, I told y’all I was close—and I weren’t lyin’, neither
+Sunken Fleet - 256 Hoard Lvl - 10 Kingdom Lvl - Anu, Nysha, Season by Dust_Angel — {256 True Hoard}
Today I completed this exact thing with hoard 256 (no bonuses).
Medals were Anu/Seasons/Nysha (because I’m too lazy to switch. If to think it through properly - 3x Seasons should be the best setup or maybe 2x Seasons/Nysha. You don’t need Anu as Sailor is empowered and Maraji Queen/Water Elemental get half mana start from trait. As for using Nysha - do you want your Water Elemental do 4 damage more or all your troops have +4 attack/life/armor?)
+The Deep Hive - 100 Hoard Lvl - 10 Kingdom Lvl - Anu, 2x Orpheus by Shimrra — {100 True Hoard}
Oh, yeah. I didn’t bother, it was so easy I thought it’d been posted as such already. I’ll put it up for posterity though …
[image]
Scarab, 3x Beetrix, ASE Banner, 1x Anu 2x Orpheus medals.
No potions. Took three, maybe two tries at 500?
+The Labyrinth - 200 Hoard Lvl - 14 Kingdom Lvl - ??? by Dust_Angel — {300 True Hoard}
So, Labyrinth potionless…
Short version - bang your head against the wall. Trust me, it’s more fun.
Longer version:
300 true hoard (200 + 50%); Horned Guardian/2x Mechataur/King Minos.
You can get out of starting room pretty consistently, but - getting out with Horned Guardian in front is altogether different; the choice of winning the room with scrambled team versus they kill my troop comes up pretty often.
I got to boss room with correct lineup once (all incorrect lineups ended even befor…
+The Warrens - 175 Hoard Lvl - 15 Kingdom Lvl - Anu, Nysha, Orpheus by Dust_Angel — {262 True Hoard}
The Warrens 500 - hoard 175, kingdom level 15; Cedric, Anu, Nysha (had them from previous team and forgot to think about possible changing); three weeks of trying.
Team - Luna, Luna, Rabbit, Luna.
Summary - luck, luck, luck
[Capture]
Also, Amanithrax should be the easiest faction to do.
I won with hoard 111 (before medals and deeds) running Mushroom Man/3x Gobtruffle; my brother did the same on hoard 100.
I guess the trick is to survive long enough for two Gobtruffles to collect full mana…
+Tinker Town - 100 Hoard Lvl - 10 Kingdom Lvl - ??? by Goatgoat — {100 True Hoard}
I pushed Tinker Town pretty far on the faction weekend and decided to finish it up, working with 100 hoard and no kingdom bonuses. Non faction was pretty easy with Urskaya + Tesla + Harpy Mage + Tesla (sentinel).
I figured I’d give pure faction at least one go and then decide if I’d push it out wait for better bonuses.
My plan going in was to have Tink in slot 3 and maintain a smash in slot 4, hoping to build it up and loop while praying for no self destruct.
First room was easy as I played i…
+Werewoods - 170 Hoard Lvl - 14 Kingdom Lvl - 3x Season by Texugo-928 — {255 True Hoard}
+Wild Court - 100 Hoard Lvl - 10 Kingdom Lvl - Anu, 2x Nysha by TheIdleOne — {100 True Hoard}
I went back to a half finished level 500 pure faction run of Wild Court with no potion after finishing Werewoods for funsies. Funny how a little bit of extra magic in delves goes a long way.
Started the 3rd room with 1 Wild Knight, 1 Wendigo (Rat Banner). Finished with just 1 Wild Knight casting for 45 stat gain at a time.
Hoard 100, no faction stat bonus, Wild Knight not medaled, 2 Nysha Medal, 1 Anu Medal for room 3 and 4, nothing before then

Feels weird getting 0 renown for that. …
