How to beat Mysterious Knight

  • Elite sized fight: with 6 Strength on turn one, Flail is already 30 (32) across two hits, and every War Chant adds 6 more to a Flail turn.
  • Weak: the best tool here, since it cuts a large Strength number.
  • Block: single big Block cards beat many small ones, since both hits land in one turn.
  • Take it or not: only fight if the deck can absorb 30 damage turns in a row, otherwise hand the key back.
  • HP: 101 (108 at Ascension 8+). Plating is thickest early, so damage lands better once it has ticked down.

Notes

  • Only found through the Lantern Key event in Hive, when you choose to keep the key.
  • Winning grants the Lantern Key, an unplayable quest card that opens a special event in the next act; returning the key instead pays 100 Gold.
  • Moves, HP and Ascension values are the Flail Knight's; only the two starting powers are new.
