Goldtooth – Elwynn Forest – Heroic Mission Guide

What are Heroic Missions?

Heroic missions are missions unlocked upon obtaining 50 sigils. They need to be cleared once per faction, so aim to get at least one leader per faction as you progress through the game. The heroic missions are more difficult than their non-heroic counterparts, often employing a gimmick on the map or featuring an initial push that you need to defend.

Why do Heroic Missions?

Clearing a heroic mission rewards you with 3 tomes of experience for your troops as well as a sigil upon completing it once. You need to clear them 4 more times, each with different leaders from the remaining factions. Upon clearing them, you receive 300 coins for your efforts. It is quite rewarding and will be your main source of income in the end game.

Deck Build

hogger-deck

This deck works with any leader; just equip the minis to bonus slots if applicable.

How to Clear

Your number one goal is to prevent the Special Kobold Miner from mining gold from the northernmost gold mine. It's a short walk from where it spawns, so be ready to drop a S.A.F.E. Pilot on it or stall it with a Quilboar . Mine the gold with the Dark Iron Miner so you can focus on taking down the tower.

When you have a bit of gold, send a small deployment towards the tower. A Stonehoof Tauren , accompanied by Harpies or a Darkspear Troll , can take it down with ease.

The enemy might deploy an Earth Elemental near your base, so be wary of it. Deploy Harpies to quickly dispatch it. Their Earth Elemental also has the Obsidian Shard talent, so it'll spawn two mini Earth Elementals.
