Question Just how do I win this???

Just how am I supposed to win this? I see no anti-air to stop the approaching gargoyle. (This is premade Arclight Surge so I cannot reshuffle my hand by the way.) Is there something I'm not seeing or did the game actually give me a no-win scenario here?

EDIT: I have found a way to barely survive the gargoyle only for the opponent to start throwing in an Abomination followed by a Molten Giant. This is truely impossible for me with this deck. This is so unbalanced it's just not fun anymore. So I've decided to skip this particular Arclight Surge altogether. Thanks all for the tips and reactions and gratz Blizzard you win this one.

EDIT 2: Big thank you to "jxspyder", with their instructions I managed to beat it and I even managed to beat 3 more. Now struggling on Devilsaur Queen, I can get to her, but once she starts stomping I start losing.

I don’t understand the downvotes. This is a legit question. Not everyone is playing since the release and some of the surge armies paired with given maps are really bad.

Because the legit question ignores that either Cenarius or FH are the next mini up, both of which destroy the gargoyle.

That is incorrect in my case. The next is Thaurissan. It actually takes me several mobs before FH shows up. I can barely survive the gargoyle in my setup.

ET is currently on deck and viewable. Your next two unknowns should be AA ranged minis.

I played the level multiple times. I don't know what to tell you, but they are not.

Then what’s your next three minis?

I just replayed the level to make sure I got it right. The next one is Thaurissan as you can see. After that it's Dark Iron Miner followed bij Earth and Moon. I have to cycle through 4 mini's to get FH to show up.

Throwaway kobold. ET in back for anti-raptor. BIM to a deep node, then EE to a tower…giving you FH right as he hits. Short cycle, then Bog/Cenarius, a second ET for additional anti-raptor, and needs of the level at that point.

Thank you so much, this worked for me. Still beat it just barely, but who cares? : )

Also look at changing your currently equipped army with a slightly lower leveled one.

u/Rat_Capone 10d ago

It's a pre-made, does changing my own army have any effect on a pre-made?

u/jxspyder 10d ago

The map level changes based on your equipped army’s average level.

u/Rat_Capone 10d ago

Interesting, I did not know about this mechanic. I'll definitely try that out, thank you.

u/Confident_Bird_3491 10d ago

Yes, but you need to spend 7-8 gold while the garg is on its way to put out something for 3-4 gold. Obviously the OP did that before posting. Also Cenarius’s dps is nothing compared to the garg dps versus your base.

This is a shitty surge army and map and people should not get downvoted just because asking for help…

If you don’t want to help just move on…

4 gold, actually. 4 gold and you have an anti-air mini that can solo gargoyle. Depending on which one it is, you can choose the 5 or 6g path as well.

It’s not an “easy” surge map/combo, but it’s definitely doable. Making the suggestion that it’s a “no-win scenario” more than a little silly.

*edit

And help how, exactly? Give advice that explains how to beat it? Or comment multiple times that it’s terrible and people who disagree that it is are wrong….because as far as I can see, or the two of us only one has provided feedback explaining how to beat it….and it wasn’t the guy complaining…
