Boss Battle - Umbra

From the shadows comes a twisted visage.

Enter an alternate dimension where Umbra warps light and shadow to create imperfect reflections of life.

Behind Umbra is a Bastion holding watch, slowly but gradually bolstering their forces until they can overwhelm you.

"Reflections? You mean this monster copies my units!?"

This is a twisted and powerful art but not without its shortcomings.

Umbra can create mirages of anything you beckon to your side, but these creations are shadows of their former selves.

Nonetheless, these manifestations are sturdy enough to survive an attack, and more than willing to retaliate in return.

"This is all smoke and mirrors... why am I here again?"

Unveil the mystery and defeat Umbra! If you do you'll 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!

So, did we ever find out what happened with the emil double posting?

galaxydueler · February 22, 2018, 10:19pm

I figured it out, if I play Doom they’ll get weak minions

nwardezir · February 22, 2018, 10:26pm

Big Boyz striked again first try !

Concept was fun but maybe difficulty really lower than usual. Perhaps would have been trickier with 2 copies, or a copy with 2hp instead of 1, just to avoid pings.

I’m curious how it works with Wind dervishes, do they stay or fade away ?

I think songcanyst will be great here along with ghost lightning, thinderbomb, T-horn and maybe a teched in battle panddo if necessary. Will edit to present results soon.

EDIT: Easy first win when the opponent couldn’t remove owlbeast and multiple ghost lightnings/gotatsu’s prevented him from profiting off the clone minions. @nwardezir was right, boss is too easy, I can’t whine and complain about how gimped songhai is with this boss.

will build minions be OP
build minions will probably be OP

longshot405 · February 22, 2018, 11:18pm

I kinda wanna run infinite Sarlacs into this guy and watch the chaos. Yeah, let’s do it!

When I get home.

atheistmantis · February 22, 2018, 11:29pm

Good old Sirocco+Oasis got the job done ez. I agree with @nwardezir, the boss could definitely be more challenging. All it played were some Inner Oasis, Phoenix fire and Nimbuses which never attacked…

halcyon98 · February 23, 2018, 5:13am

Well, this was easy. Kinematic Thunderhorn got the job done as usual.

longshot405 · February 23, 2018, 6:06am

This was a better idea than I ever thought it would be. To all who had hands on creating this boss battle, THANK YOU. This was the most fun I’ve had in a long time

I thought I was going to lose when I saw Umbra play their own Shadowdancer.
Luckily, I had removal at the time.

mmf · February 23, 2018, 7:52pm

They had elder? Dang, I lucked out

lordmantis · February 23, 2018, 11:45pm

If you make your BBS Awesome and summon 5/5 Wraithlings… he gets them too. There were a few other weird bugs I noticed that seemed to override the default clone ability. At the very least the 5/5 wraithlings should have been 5/1 or something but he was getting the entire ability not just the cloned creature.

cloudfrog · February 24, 2018, 3:10am

They fade. Dunderhorn + obelysk was cathartic

halcyon98 · February 24, 2018, 3:15am

Actually, Elder was the only minion it summoned that could actually even pose a threat to me.

halcyon98 · February 24, 2018, 3:18am

Wait, I just got a crazy new idea for a Magmar Archetype. How about a deck that buffs eggs and gives them keywords? I want to see a 10/10 egg with Forcefield and Provoke and Flying. Please, CPG, please.

YUDODIS · February 24, 2018, 10:16am

But the eggs would keep their buffs for only a turn until they transform.

halcyon98 · February 24, 2018, 11:04am

There would be a card that prevents the transformation.

YUDODIS · February 24, 2018, 11:16am

Dispel can do that already

halcyon98 · February 24, 2018, 11:53am

But it would be so much more interesting to have a minion that stops eggs from hatching as long as it is on the battlefield. Or something along those lines.

YUDODIS · February 24, 2018, 12:00pm

I think it would be much cooler if there was an opening gambit minion that hatches All rebirth minions on board at the same time. As for your idea its not bad but I think its kinda pointless to keep eggs from hatching since that is their purpose. The cards that buff the eggs should be really op something like : 2 mana spell give your eggs flying and +4 attack this turn.
