How to beat Frog Knight

  • The check only happens every third turn, right after For the Queen, so you can see it coming: if it will be below half HP, under 95 of its 191, when that turn ends, expect a 35 hit boosted by 5 Strength next turn.
  • Either stay above half until you can burst through the Charge turn, or drop it below half deliberately and block the Charge, since it only ever happens once.
  • Plating shrinks by one each turn, so attacks land better late.
  • Frail from Tongue Lash makes the Strike Down Evil turn the one to block with margin.

Notes

  • Normal fight in the Glory act, alone, 191 HP (199 at Ascension 8+).
  • In multiplayer Plating decays by the number of players each turn.
  • Beetle Charge is boosted by every For the Queen that came before it.
