How to beat The Lost

  • Fights alongside The Forgotten in the Lost and Forgotten encounter. Smog comes on turn one, so you sit at minus 2 Strength on your second turn and minus 4 on your fourth.
  • That is brutal for multi-hit attack decks and nearly irrelevant for decks that deal damage through powers or skills.
  • HP: 93, with no Block. It is the quicker kill of the pair.
  • Order: if your damage is attack-based, take it down first and get your Strength back, then handle The Forgotten.
  • Block Eye Lasers on even turns. Smog turns deal nothing, so attack through them.

Notes

  • HP is fixed at 93 (99 at Ascension 8+).
  • Glory normal pool, never alone.
  • The refund is paid only on death and only for Strength it took; if it lowered your Strength below zero, killing it lifts you back up by the same amount.
  • The steal is 2 at every Ascension level.
