Boss Battle: Archmagus Vol

A fearsome practitioner of the astral and arcane arts, Archmagus Vol once tricked Zane into betraying his fellow allies. With reckless abandon, Zane will stop at nothing to avenge his fallen brethren even if it means sacrificing his own life. You must not let this fight be his last. ☠ Join Darkspear Zane in his battle against the Archmagus! After breaking free from Vol's possession, he will only listen to his heart, and his heart desires vengeance! Make sure to keep Zane alive, for he is not only a valuable ally but also your sole reason for fighting Archmagus Vol. 

"Between Zane and I, we have Vol outnumbered!"

Vol did not become an Archmagus from tireless study: he is no stranger to a battlefield. Vol's magic allows him to link the fates of our allies, damaging all of our minions in the process. Zane will also pursue his own agenda: while he appreciates any support you can lend, be careful not to induce a berserk-filled death. When passion runs highs, blood will boil and even the most valiant hearts can lose their way. 

"So why should I help Zane defeat Vol?"

If you can help Zane survive this encounter, you will earn a free Core Spirit Orb. In addition to this, you'll also earn a Boss Crate, which can be opened with a key purchased from the shop for 500 Diamonds. Each Orb contains a collection of items sure to enhance your Duelyst experience! Can you silence the Archmagus?

[terrarius]

Terrible bossfight…why?
Because ziran is the only general that can beat this guy…no options

[phoenixtoasches]

I was just about to do it when you commented ! So freaky, thanks @oranos.

[ThanatosNoa]

Ayyy good catch. Fixing

[oranos]

also, do i spy a reason to use breath of the unborn
it might be the only way to heal 19 with 1 card
edit: forgot about fountain of youth

[ThanatosNoa]

Actually there’s a ton of creative solutions someone will be bringing up sooner or later

[wardl]

I see what you did there.

[kronikle]

Eyyy you found the reference

[epicflygon]

Kron came out of hiding!

also… I don’t get it >.>

[oranos]

he was in front of this boss the whole time

[kronikle]

Just to piggyback on what ThanatosNoa said, all of these creative boss solutions are spread out across all of the factions. Ziran is just the most obvious one.

[epicflygon]

I still have no idea what it is, but it looks like a final fantasy game.

[wardl]

It’s from final fantasy 4. The main antagonist is called Golbez and the dragoon knight is Kaine.

Pretty alright with Ziran or Prism Barrier, really difficult otherwise. I like having a boss on my side
