The Dockmaster – 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.

For swiftly mining gold from the mines without the risk of being hit by barrels.

	Dark Iron Armaments After Mining, gain Armored.
	Gold Mine BEST After Mining, drop a proximity mine. Damages nearby enemies when touched.
	Dwarven Ambition Gain Fury.

Harpies

Flying minis can't be hit by barrels, making Harpies a great choice to inflict damage on the Dockmaster. They also excel against the Molten Giant and Earth Elemental . Ensure their protection from the Pyromancer and Firehammer by using the S.A.F.E. Pilot and Quiboar .

	Infectious Swipes BEST Gain Poison.
	Trinket Collectors Gain the Miner trait. Cost increased by 1.
	Talon Dive Deal double damage on 1st attack.

S.A.F.E. Pilot

The S.A.F.E. Pilot can target enemy ranged minions such as the Pyromancer and Firehammer . Additionally, she can prevent the enemy from collecting gold by eliminating the kobold before it mines. She can also crash into the Dockmaster to inflict direct damage. Overall, a versatile minion to bring into the fight and can be included in any deck.

	Gnomish Cloaking Device BEST Deploy from the explosion with Stealth and Ambush.
	Comin’ In Hot! Deploy twice as fast and Burn nearby enemies.
	Gnomish Muttonizer Polymorph the first blaster target.

Quilboar

Quilboar, similar to the S.A.F.E. Pilot , can target the troublesome backline minions, clearing the path for your Harpies to inflict damage on the Dockmaster. You can also deploy the Quilboar to divert the boss's attention while your army closes the gap. Simply position the Quilboar behind the Dockmaster.

	Bristleback Deal a small amount of damage to Melee attackers.
	Tunnel Vision BEST Deploy much more quickly.
	Bramble Burst Inflict Poison on nearby enemies when emerging.

	Big Bad Voodoo BEST Regenerate 10% health every second.
	Headhunting On kill, increase Attack and Movement speed by 10%. Stacks to 50%.
	Serpent Sting Gain Poison.

Gryphon Rider

Similar to the Harpies , the Gryphon Rider is immune to being hit by the barrels and can inflict significant damage to the Dock Master without needing to get extremely close to it.

	Air Drop Periodically drop a potion, Leveling Up the first ally to touch it.
	Odyn’s Fury Gain Fury.
	Mighty Throw BEST Gain +3 Range.

Deck Build

sylvanas-windrunner-deck-hfb7t

This deck works with any leader, so you don't have to worry about customizing it for each leader.

How to Clear

Your main goal here is to secure the Meeting Stone on the right lane to gain access to the Gold Mine there. However, if you have the Dark Iron Miner in your deck, that won't be a priority since you can simply deploy him near the mine. The Ogres drop five barrels before they walk and switch, so utilize that window to deploy your army near the meeting stone.

Alternatively, you can send flying minis like Harpies and Gryphon Riders down the lanes toward the Dockmaster. They aren't affected by the barrels, but be cautious of anti-air minions like Pyromancer and Firehammer . Ensure you have the S.A.F.E. Pilot or Quilboar ready to prevent them from targeting and killing your flying minis.
