When to fight elites

The decision to fight an elite is not about bravery. It is about whether your current deck, HP, and potion supply can handle the fight without crippling your ability to reach the boss. Three factors determine every elite decision.

  • HP threshold: In Act 1, fight elites above 60% HP. In Act 2, above 50%. In Act 3, above 40% — but only if your deck is fully assembled. Below these thresholds, the risk of dying before the boss outweighs the reward.
  • Deck readiness: Your deck needs at least one answer to the elite's core mechanic. Against Bygone Effigy, that means burst damage. Against Phrog Parasite, that means AoE. If you have no answer, skip it.
  • Potion supply: A single Fire Potion or Strength Potion can turn a losing elite fight into a clean kill. If you have potions and the HP to absorb a hit, the elite is usually worth it. If you have no potions and low HP, the extra relic is not worth the run.
  • Relic value: Early elites (first 2-3 fights of an act) give you the most value because the relic works for the entire remainder of the act. An elite fight right before the boss gives you a relic for one fight.

Act 1a elites: Overgrowth

Overgrowth elites test whether your starter deck has picked up enough early firepower. All three have different weaknesses, and knowing which one you are walking into changes your prep.

Bygone Effigy (Act 1a) — 127 HP, Asc 8: 132

The Effigy sleeps on Turn 1, giving you a free setup turn. On Turn 2 it wakes with 10 Strength and applies Slow, which increases the damage you take for each card you play in a turn. From Turn 3 onward, every slash hits for 25+ damage.

The fight punishes two things: slow decks that cannot burst through 127 HP in 3-4 turns, and multi-card decks that trigger Slow penalties. Shiv decks and Sly discard builds that play 5+ cards per turn take massive Slow damage.

  • Turn 1 (free): Set up , , , or Focus. No incoming damage.
  • Play fewer, heavier cards after Turn 2. Two big attacks per turn deal more net damage than five small ones after Slow penalties.
  • Apply Weak immediately on Turn 2 — reducing a 25-damage hit by 25% saves 6+ HP per turn.
  • If your deck has no scaling and no burst above 30 damage per turn, avoid this elite entirely.
  • Best matchup: Ironclad Strength builds, Necrobinder Doom. Worst matchup: Silent Shiv builds, low-damage defensive decks.

Byrdonis (Act 1a) — 91-94 HP, Asc 8: 99

Byrdonis is the safest Act 1 elite because its only mechanic is Territorial (gain 1 Strength at end of every turn) and it has the lowest HP pool. It alternates between Swoop (16 single hit) and Peck (3x3 triple hit). Strength adds to each Peck hit, so at +3 Strength, Peck deals 3x6 = 18.

This is a pure speed check. Kill in 3-4 turns and the fight is trivial. Let it reach Turn 6+ and Peck alone deals 27+ damage.

  • Apply Vulnerable immediately. At 91 HP, Vulnerable + two good attack turns ends the fight before Territorial matters.
  • Weak is extremely efficient here — it reduces both Swoop and every individual Peck hit by 25%.
  • Spend Attack potions, Fire Potions, or Strength Potions here. Fast kills prevent all scaling, and the relic reward pays for the potion.
  • Block on Swoop turns (16-18 damage). Peck turns are lower damage early but scale faster due to per-hit Strength.
  • Best matchup: Any deck with 30+ damage per turn. Worst matchup: Setup-heavy decks with no early damage output.

Phrog Parasite (Act 1a) — 61-64 HP + 4 Wrigglers

The Phrog itself is easy: 61-64 HP, alternates between shuffling 3 Infection status cards into your discard and a 4-hit Lash attack (4x4 = 16 damage). The trap is the Infested power: when the Phrog dies, it spawns 4 Wrigglers (17-21 HP each) that continue the fight.

Wrigglers spawn Stunned (one free turn), then use Nasty Bite (6 damage) and Wriggle (+2 Strength + more Infection cards). The real fight is the second phase, not the first.

  • Save AoE for the Wriggler phase. , , Lightning Orbs, and are all excellent here.
  • Wrigglers spawn Stunned — use that free turn to set up AoE or kill 1-2 of them before they act.
  • Kill Wrigglers before Wriggle. Each Wriggle grants +2 permanent Strength and adds Infection to your deck.
  • If you lack AoE, focus fire one Wriggler at a time. Reducing from 4 to 3 attackers drops incoming damage by 25%.
  • Exhaust effects (, , ) clean Infection cards from your deck mid-fight.
  • Best matchup: AoE-heavy decks, Ironclad with . Worst matchup: Single-target-only decks with no Exhaust.

Act 1b elites: Underdocks

Underdocks elites are mechanically more complex than Overgrowth elites. Each one has a unique gimmick that demands a specific answer.

Phantasmal Gardener (Act 1b) — 4 Gardeners, 28-32 HP each

Four ghostly Gardeners attack simultaneously, each cycling through Bite (5), Lash (7), Flail (1x3), and Enlarge (+2 Strength) at different offsets. The key mechanic is Skittish (6 stacks, Asc 8: 7): the first hit each turn grants that Gardener Block, making multi-hit attacks less effective against individual targets.

Total incoming damage per turn starts at 15-20 from all four Gardeners combined and scales quickly once Enlarge grants permanent Strength.

  • Focus fire one Gardener at a time. Reducing from 4 to 3 attackers immediately drops incoming damage by 25%.
  • Strong single-target attacks are ideal. Skittish grants Block on the first hit, so or bypasses Skittish better than multi-hit alternatives.
  • Kill Gardeners before they reach Enlarge. Permanent Strength on 4 enemies compounds into 8+ extra damage per turn.
  • AoE is less effective than usual because Skittish triggers independently on each Gardener per turn.
  • Prioritize whichever Gardener is closest to its Enlarge turn in the rotation.
  • Best matchup: Decks with high single-target damage. Worst matchup: Multi-hit decks (Shivs, ) that trigger Skittish repeatedly.

Skulking Colony (Act 1b) — 79 HP, Asc 8: 84

The Skulking Colony has Hardened Shell (20), which caps HP loss per turn at 20 damage. No matter how much burst you have, the Colony cannot lose more than 20 HP in a single turn. It cycles through Smash (9 damage + 4 Dazed cards), Zoom (16 heavy hit), Inertia (+10 Block, +3 Strength), and Super Crab (6x2 double hit).

This fight is a marathon, not a sprint. Plan for 4-5 turns minimum regardless of deck strength.

  • Consistent damage across 4-5 turns beats burst. Hardened Shell caps you at 20 HP per turn — do not waste resources trying to exceed the cap.
  • Block heavily on Zoom turns (16-17 damage). This is the biggest single-hit threat in the rotation.
  • Attack on Smash and Super Crab turns when the Colony has no Block. Do not attack on Inertia turns (10-13 Block).
  • Dazed cards from Smash clog your hand. Bring card draw (, , ) to dig past dead cards.
  • Exhaust effects (, ) remove Dazed from your deck mid-fight.
  • Best matchup: Consistent damage + draw decks. Worst matchup: Pure burst decks that waste output above the 20-per-turn cap.

Terror Eel (Act 1b) — 140 HP, Asc 8: 150

The Terror Eel alternates Crash (17 single hit) and Thrash (3x3 triple hit + 7 Vigor). When its HP drops to 70 (Asc 8: 75) for the first time, it becomes Stunned for one turn. After the stun, Terror applies 99 Vulnerable — permanent 50% increased damage taken for the rest of the fight.

The stun threshold is the fight's pivot point. If you time it correctly and burst hard during the stun turn, you can kill the Eel before or shortly after Terror lands. If you trigger the stun too early without burst ready, you waste the window and face 50% amplified damage for the rest of the fight.

  • Plan your damage to cross the 70 HP threshold when you have maximum burst ready. Do not accidentally chip it below 70 on a weak turn.
  • Use the stun turn aggressively — potions, high-damage attacks, and Vulnerable application. This is your best window to end the fight.
  • If you kill the Eel during or immediately after the stun, you avoid the 99 Vulnerable phase entirely.
  • After Terror, Crash effectively deals 25+ damage (17 x 1.5). Block aggressively or die.
  • Weak is critical after Terror — reducing the Eel's damage by 25% while you take 50% more is essential for survival.
  • Best matchup: High-burst decks that can time the stun window. Worst matchup: Slow scaling decks that cannot control when the threshold triggers.

Act 2 elites: Hive

Act 2 elites are a significant step up in complexity and HP. Each one punishes a common deck type: the Decimillipede punishes AoE spread, the Entomancer punishes Attack-heavy decks, and the Infested Prism rewards careful energy management. Only fight these if your deck has a real plan.

Decimillipede (Act 2) — 3 segments, 42-48 HP each

Three independent segments cycle through Writhe (5 damage), Bulk (6), and Constrict (8) at different offsets. The critical mechanic: killed segments revive if other segments are still alive. This means AoE that damages all segments without finishing any off is actively counterproductive — you waste output and the segments heal back.

Total HP across all segments is 126-144 (Asc 8: 144-168). Combined incoming damage per turn is up to 19 from all three.

  • Focus fire one segment at a time. Kill it completely before moving to the next to prevent revival.
  • AoE damage is a trap. Spreading damage triggers revival and wastes your output. This is the opposite of most multi-enemy fights.
  • Once reduced to 2 segments, incoming damage drops significantly. Getting the first kill is the priority.
  • Poison works IF you stack it all on one segment. Spreading poison across three segments risks revival before any die.
  • Doom has the same constraint — stack it on one target to ensure a kill before the other segments revive.
  • Best matchup: Single-target heavy hitters. Worst matchup: AoE-focused decks that cannot concentrate damage.

Entomancer (Act 2) — 145 HP, Asc 8: 155

The Entomancer's Personal Hive power adds Dazed cards to your draw pile every time you play an Attack card. It cycles through Beeeees! (3x7 = 21 damage), Spear! (18 single hit), and Pheromone Spit (+1 Hive, +1 Strength). As Strength stacks, Beeeees! scales to 42+ damage per turn.

This elite is a direct counter to Attack-heavy decks. Every Attack you play clogs your future draws with unplayable Dazed cards. The fight demands either minimal Attack usage or overwhelming burst that ends the fight before Dazed accumulation matters.

  • Minimize Attack card plays. Each Attack adds a Dazed card to your draw pile, potentially bricking future hands.
  • Skill-based damage bypasses the Dazed penalty entirely. , Doom stacking, passive damage powers, and Orb damage all avoid triggering Hive.
  • If you must play Attacks, play one big Attack instead of five small ones. One hit = one Dazed, not five.
  • Silent's poison build excels here — stack poison through Skills and let it tick without triggering Hive.
  • Block heavily on Beeeees! turns. At 7 hits with Strength stacking, this attack can deal 42+ damage in later cycles.
  • Best matchup: Poison decks, Doom decks, passive damage powers. Worst matchup: Attack-spam decks (Shivs, ).

Infested Prism (Act 2) — 200 HP, Asc 8: 215

The highest-HP Act 2 elite. The Infested Prism has Vital Spark: the first time it takes Attack damage each turn, it grants you 1 bonus Energy. It cycles through Jab (22 single hit), Radiate (16 damage + 16 Block), Whirlwind (9x3 triple hit), and Pulsate (+4 Strength, +20 Block).

The fight is long (200 HP) but manageable if you exploit the free Energy and attack on the right turns. Radiate and Pulsate grant Block, so attacking on those turns wastes damage. Jab and Whirlwind turns are your windows.

  • Always attack at least once per turn to trigger Vital Spark. Even a is worth it for the +1 Energy. You effectively have 4 Energy per turn in this fight.
  • Concentrate damage on Jab and Whirlwind turns (no Block). Do not waste attacks on Radiate or Pulsate turns (16-20 Block).
  • Whirlwind turns deal 27-30 total damage across 3 hits — block generously. This is the highest per-turn damage output.
  • Kill before the second Pulsate cycle. At +8 Strength, Jab hits for 30+ and Whirlwind for 51+ total.
  • Poison and passive damage ignore the Block problem — they tick even on Radiate and Pulsate turns.
  • Best matchup: Any deck that can deal 25+ damage per turn consistently. Worst matchup: Low-damage defensive decks that cannot race the Strength scaling.

Act 3 elites: Glory

Act 3 elites are boss-tier threats. The Knight Trio demands target priority, the Mecha Knight has boss-level HP and Artifact protection, and the Soul Nexus combines high damage with debuff stacking. Only fight Act 3 elites with a fully assembled, high-power deck.

Knight Trio (Act 3) — 101 / 93 / 82 HP

Three knights attack simultaneously: Flail Knight (101 HP, raw damage), Spectral Knight (93 HP, Hex debuff), and Magi Knight (82 HP, Dampen + Magic Bomb). Kill order matters enormously. Hex turns your cards Ethereal (discarded at end of turn), Dampen reduces power effectiveness, and Magic Bomb deals 35-40 damage on Turn 5 of the Magi cycle.

Total incoming damage from all three knights is 25-40+ per turn, which is more than many Act 3 bosses deal.

  • Kill Magi Knight first (82 HP, lowest). This stops Dampen (power suppression) and prevents the 35-40 damage Magic Bomb.
  • If your deck runs powers (, ), the Magi Knight is an absolute priority. Dampen cripples power-based scaling.
  • After Magi, kill Spectral Knight to stop Hex from forcing end-of-turn discards on your unplayed cards.
  • AoE damage (, , Lightning Orbs) is very strong since it hits all three knights simultaneously.
  • Block at least 35 on Magic Bomb's scheduled turn (Turn 5 of Magi cycle) if the Magi Knight is still alive.
  • Best matchup: AoE-heavy decks with power-independent damage. Worst matchup: Power-reliant decks without burst to kill the Magi Knight quickly.

Mecha Knight (Act 3) — 300 HP, Asc 8: 320

The hardest elite in the game. 300 HP is boss-level, and it starts with 3 Artifact stacks (blocks the first 3 debuffs). Its cycle is Charge (25 damage), Flamethrower (4 Burn status cards into your hand), Windup (+5 Strength, +15 Block), and Heavy Cleave (35 damage). After one cycle, Charge hits for 30+ and Heavy Cleave hits for 40+.

Only fight the Mecha Knight with a fully built, high-damage deck. Incomplete decks get ground down by Burn card accumulation, Strength scaling, and the sheer 300 HP wall.

  • Strip Artifact with 3 cheap, expendable debuffs before applying your real Weak or Vulnerable. , throwaway Weak applications, or multi-debuff cards work.
  • Block at least 35-40 on Heavy Cleave turns. After Windup grants +5 Strength, Heavy Cleave hits for 40-45+ effective damage.
  • Flamethrower turns are your safest damage window — no direct damage, just 4 Burn cards added to your hand.
  • Exhaust or play Burn cards immediately. 4 Burns = 8 unblockable damage per turn if left in hand.
  • Do NOT attack on Windup turns — the 15 Block absorbs damage while the Mecha Knight gains +5 Strength for free.
  • Concentrate attacks on Charge and Flamethrower turns when the Mecha Knight has no Block.
  • Best matchup: High-burst decks with debuff stripping. Worst matchup: Any deck that cannot deal 30+ damage per turn consistently.

Soul Nexus (Act 3) — 234 HP, Asc 8: 254

The Soul Nexus always opens with Soul Burn (29 damage) and then randomly alternates between Soul Burn (29 single hit), Maelstrom (6x4 multi-hit), and Drain Life (18 damage + Weak 2 + Vulnerable 2). It cannot use the same move twice in a row.

Unlike scaling elites, the Soul Nexus does not get stronger over time. Instead, repeated Drain Life stacks Weak and Vulnerable on you, effectively making you weaker each cycle. The fight is about managing debuff accumulation while dealing consistent damage.

  • Block at least 29-31 on Turn 1 — Soul Burn is guaranteed. This is one of the hardest Turn 1 hits of any elite in the game.
  • After Drain Life applies Vulnerable, the next Soul Burn effectively deals 43+ damage. Block generously on the turn after Drain Life.
  • Artifact charges and debuff removal (Orange Pellets) are extremely valuable for clearing Weak and Vulnerable stacks.
  • Apply Weak to the Soul Nexus — Soul Burn drops from 29 to ~22, saving 7+ HP per occurrence.
  • Maelstrom turns (24 total across 4 hits) are the least dangerous. Use these as your primary damage windows.
  • Best matchup: Debuff-removal decks, Artifact-heavy builds. Worst matchup: Decks with no way to cleanse Weak/Vulnerable stacking.

Elite pathing strategy

The number of elites you fight per act is one of the most impactful decisions in every run. More elites means more relics, but each fight costs HP and risks ending the run before the boss.

  • Act 1: Fight 1-2 elites. Your starter deck with a few additions can handle Act 1 elites, and the early relic advantage compounds for the rest of the run. Byrdonis is the safest target due to low HP. Avoid Bygone Effigy without burst damage.
  • Act 2: Fight 1-2 elites only if your deck has a clear plan. The Entomancer punishes Attack-heavy decks, and the Decimillipede punishes AoE. Choose your fights based on what your deck can answer. The Infested Prism is the most forgiving due to the free Energy from Vital Spark.
  • Act 3: Fight 0-1 elites. Act 3 elites have boss-level stats (300 HP Mecha Knight, 276 total HP Knight Trio). Only fight if your deck is fully assembled and you can afford the HP loss before the final boss.
  • Early elites > late elites. A relic earned in the first 3 fights of an act works for the entire act. A relic earned right before the boss works for one fight.
  • Rest sites matter. If the path to an elite has a rest site between the elite and the boss, the fight is safer. If the elite is the last fight before the boss with no healing, the risk doubles.
  • Potions tip the math. One Fire Potion turns a marginal elite fight into a clean kill. Check your potion belt before committing to a path.
