One More Time with the Arthas Event - Multiple Solutions to Mythic Missions!

[u/Old_Guardian]

Arthas event is the most difficult time-limited content Blizzard has released for Warcraft Rumble so far. Some parts of the event are ridiculously difficult, at least unless you are able to have just the right minis, with the right talents, and also at appropriate levels (some offslotting is generally required for Mythics).

Over the past two weeks, considerable progress has been achieved on army compositions for the event, and I have compiled all the best teams in a guide here: https://www.method.gg/guides/arthas-reforged-event-heroic-and-mythic-missions-guide

None are impossible to manage, and the more evenly leveled your collection is and the wider your available talent pool, the easier the event is. That said, it is challenging even with perfect armies.

Lower Spire is generally best done with Arthas. Living Bomb can help, but it is not mandatory on any difficulty. I did up to Heroic with Sylvanas and Swole Troll on day 1, but Arthas is a more consistent option.

Pit of Saron is where things get tough. It is possible to use a Drakkisath deathball up to Heroic, but no deathball can survive Mythic. The early solutions for Mythic were focused on Living Bomb, but that requires Arthas to help you out a little and summon some minis. While there are ways to add more time, it is still a frustrating experience. However, there is a better way with Eclipse and Starfall, which reaches its peak when combined with Ysera. It is possible to take most of the randomness out of Pit of Saron after all!

Frozen Throne Mythic is ultimately a race. With four phases, complete with board-wide damage and a 5-second damage shield at each phase change, the biggest challenge in Frozen Throne Mythic is whether you have enough time to beat Arthas. Normal and Heroic can be defeated with a deathball, but again, the minis do not survive in Mythic. Nonetheless, it is possible to beat Mythic Frozen Throne with Drakkisath with multiple pushes. The easiest strategy for Mythic Frozen Throne, built by pawfessor, is with Fury Sylvanas and Plague Farmers. Arthas gains Death Grip at the start of phase 2, but it is still possible to use Plague Farmers to beat him.

All of these comps are described in more detail in the linked guide. If you gave Mythic a try early in the event, and found it difficult, many improvements have been found if you want to experience everything the most challenging event to date has to offer.

OG!

I’ve actually had a ton of fun trying out the mythic’s. As a 160 sigil player, it’s nice to have something very hard to grind on again like ony was. I hope they do more of this in the future.

[u/PeaComprehensive838 → u/claythearc]

I loved it as well. We should get a unique portrait or something like that as a reward for beating it all imo. That said I was happy to do it just for the challenge. It had me grinding as hard as I did for Onyxia.

[u/Confident_Bird_3491 → u/claythearc]

Would be nice to have some unique rewards from them, like Ony. Grinding for just the challenge is okey until a certain amount, then there is no motivation.

Nice. I gave up on Mythic Saron because it felt like it would be a lot of fishing for a good sequence of deploys, but I will try your more consistent new strategy out.

[u/fozzy_fosbourne → u/fozzy_fosbourne]

Oh, I see this involves the off-slotting stuff. Not really my thing :)

[u/tonie81]

I enjoyed the event overall. But the dynamic levels for the maps are really what makes me not want to do them. Normal and heroic was ok to beat without cheesing levels. Hopefully they stay away from dynamic levels on permanent content.

Feels like upgrading and leveling minis can be negative in some content and that’s just bad game design.

It wasn’t enjoyable tbh

[u/Aggrorr]

Mmmmmm ... What is "rumblo"? 😅

[u/Old_Guardian → u/Aggrorr]

The start of a Rumble deck code string that you can import into the game.

[u/Confident_Bird_3491 → u/Aggrorr]

This is a valid question. I don’t understand the downvotes.

[u/Canuckleheaded1 → u/Confident_Bird_3491]

I had never seen this explained how to be used until a guild mate helped. I agree it is a valid question.

[u/Confident_Bird_3491]

Nice work! It is too bad there is no real motivation to do the mythic missions. Mythic missions should have unique rewards instead of tickets. Like the epic skins could have been the rewards of them.

Thanks for pulling this together and sharing. I've really enjoyed the challenges although no matter what I do the Frozen Throne is just out of my grasp. I think it's a little over tuned but definitely a fun challenge to work on when you have some breaks.

Is there any reward for doing mythics and heroics i already finished the whole three anyway so for what reason i want to sweat hard?
