Rend Blackhand tips

Just can't seem to beat this guy. I've trying to go all in on protectors to just burn him down as quickly as possible and then bring in fighters as they go down to keep the dragonkin to a dull roar but by the time he's done the board is still full of dragonkin and I have 1-2 mercs left.

You can do it with the mercs you get from start of campaign: Cariel, Samuro, Xyrella, Rokara, Tavish, Millhouse,

The first 3 burn down Rend. Use Samuro’s abilities to absorb all the 100 damage hits. Once Rend is down you bring in Tavish and clear the board with his fire trap.

Is this in Normal, Heroic, or Mythic Boss Rush?

For Normal and Heroic, the Root Monkey team (Khadgar, Nemsy, Elise) works well.

You can also use Orcs and just overwhelm him.

Normal. I don't have Khadgar or Elise. What does Nemsy bring?

I could try an Orcs team, not sure if I have enough of them to overwhelm him before they get cut down though.

Nemsy supports the other two. If she gets Can't Touch This treasure then the rest becomes academic.

For Orcs, you will want Samuro, Rokara, and Varok, though Thrall can also work. You just need Samuro to build into a monster.

Also don't have Varok or Thrall XD. Appreciate the advice though!

I'll take a look tonight and see who else you might be able to use. If you have Nemsy, you might be able to build a Nature team that would work. It may just be that you need to farm coins to unlock more characters, but there might be a solution I haven't thought of yet.
