How to beat Queen

  • You Are Mine: permanent in practice, so Artifact is the best thing to bring. Puppet Strings eats one stack, each of the three debuffs eats another, so four stacks blank her opening.
  • Priority: the Amalgam is the only thing dealing damage while she blocks and buffs it, so kill it first.
  • Chains of Binding punishes small hands, since draws past the first three are free.
  • After the Amalgam: 400 HP (419 at Ascension 8+), gaining 2 Strength every three turns. Vulnerable makes each of her five small hits half again as big, so bring burst.

Notes

  • Boss of Glory.
  • The Amalgam has 199 HP (211 at Ascension 8+), Tackles for 18 (19) twice, then loops a triple Beam of 8 and two Tackles of 14 (15).
  • Burn Bright's Strength is 1 at every Ascension.
  • Bound cards are cleared at end of turn.
