Boss Battle: Skyfall Tyrant

Frozen and ageless the Skyfall Tyrant waits in its glacial fortress. The titan has survived generations in the cold, kept timeless by the frigid conditions, waiting for a worthy adversary to wake it from its slumber. Will you rise to the challenge? ❄ For this encounter, siege the titan that resides in the safety of its glacial fortress! 

"Why should I step inside there?"

The Skyfall Tyrant is patient. It knows you cannot escape, so why should it chase? Instead, it will entrench itself in ice. See to it that you do not meet a similar icy tomb. 

"You've shown the perils, what of the prizes?"

If you can topple the Skyfall Tyrant, 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 end this tyrannical titan?

can confirm that the boss is great.

played mech dance of memes and got turn 2 mechaz0r! and got to 0 cards in deck, in the same turn, almost died to fatigue!

Won with Healoynar. First tried with Decimus Starhorn but after seeing his artifact decided it wasn’t a good idea and switched. First go with Healoynar went badly due to bad opening hand and the boss having good answers early. On my second go I won but took a long time due to having to heal a lot, and not getting the first Sunforge Lancer until I had about 15 cards left in the deck.

Positives:

Boss looks great, theme was cool (pun), bosses deck was mostly cool, AI was generally evident, but sensible.

Negatives:
Serious negative is in beating infinite-value themed boss by using potentially infinite-value minions (kelaino would have been nice to counter artifacts, abyssal juggernaut got big and won thanks to “woo-hoo” rev)

Bosses deck had enough card draw where trin oats wasn’t necessary and only serves of less enjoyment to play against (for me). You guys are good enough at design where you are only hindering your creativity by feeling it is necessary in boss decks (it’s been in the last what, 4 boss decks? more?) This boss shows even further potential into even better bosses. Keep it going!

WALLS? I hate walls!

[overcharge]

Finally a boss that I can enjoy with ranged lyonar!

Bring Wind Stopper and Second Wish. Walls make excellent Spinecleaver fodder. Sajj kills this fight.

[isbee]

This is why I can’t have nice things…

[phoinexflame]

This boss is the only place you would want to take Droplift to (not like its particularly good against him but at least you can play it for the luls). He kills bloodfire totems so Spinecleaver is a bad option against him. Oh, and T2 Thunderhorn absolutely wrecks his fort.

Apparently playing owlbeast makes sure you break the boss everytime isbee.

[isbee]

Nothing like the Duelyst client serving you up…

[isbee]

Don’t know exactly why, but this got stuck in my head while playing the boss…

[bubaflub]

well that was easy… but really fun!
good job devs.

[jukeboxery]

…Exploding cats…

Good times.
