How do you beat Super Boss fights with no losses?

[Zechnophobe]

You can likely do the spider now, but not the frog. You are going to have a hard time though with your current lineup against spider because of his retaliation against ranged units.

General strategy against spider: Do not attack mandibles, or you'll get poisoned seriously bad. Attack with one stone skinned tank on each side of him, and use other 5 stacks to kill summons. Keep mana up, and health of tanks (Ress if necessary) and you should do okay.

If you are having a hard time killing spider summon stacks fast enough, it means you are trying this too early.

I think the best lineup for frog and spider would be Repair and Guard Droids(20% physical and 80% poison resistance,and 1 stack of trolls).
You can just phantom Repair Droids to repair them. Also I think in every game you have an item that reduced leadership for droids by 20%, which equals 20% more damage.

The engineer badge isn't ALWAYS there, but as the only (maybe one of two) level 1 dwarven items, it is very common.

Also, Frog and spider rarely will actually do casualties against good sized and managed armies, so I don't think ressurrections strats are the best way to go.

Khatu,the frog and the spider are easy to beat. Just make sure you leave one summoned stack alive, keep blinding/slowing it and use Rage to Mana spells to resurrect your losses.

With the Driller, even easier. Just inflict enough damage so that he will retreat next turn. In the next turn, he won't attack you but collapse the ceiling. Rinse and repeat.

Bhaal is another matter. I tried numerous times before finding the correct strategy... his area attacks and summonings will always damage you, but they are so-so bearable. However, never get hit by his sword. What I did was (I was using a warrior with a Lizardman army) to only take one stack of Gorguls with me. First round, I casted Phantom on them and sent them in first, then used both stacks to attack Bhaal through his summoned units - due to the two space attacks, he will not retaliate. Then, just have Bill Gilbert's units take the damage, and only attack Bhaal with your phantoms. Use Rage to mana for resurrection/time back and put lot of protective spells on your troop. Items that increase fire resistance help a lot too.

I just beat the Frog on turn 1. LOL!!!! My stone skinned Knights hit him and he retaliated for 43 damage. My pallies critical hit him and he was dead.

Spider was just as hilarious. He summoned his spiders, the Giants stomped and there were like 4 still alive. Turn 2, the boss was dead, but because of the 4 spiders still alive I was able to resurrect my 3 fallen Knights.

I just succeeded killing the Spider with one stack of 7 trolls. I am mage level 27 with 66 mana. I gained 77k experience from the battle!

Spells used:
Calm rage level 2
Stone skin level 3
Fear level 3
Fireball level 3 (1700 damages in center, I don't remember how much Int I have)
Mana Ring level 2

It is just about reaching an hex with only 2 others hexagons in contact. From there I cast Fear on one of the spiders stacks in contact and defend from the other (to accumulate Rage). If the Spider is on one side, I use stone skin and attack it with the trolls. If the Spider is out of reach I Fireball it (which also lower the spiders stacks around, but without killing them otherwise new stronger stacks come in play). All the hexagons are fast full of spiders, but it does not matter. When the spider is dead, I finish off the stacks one by one with Calm Rage giving always some mana. The only problem is the poisonous spiders, but some Fireballs can lower the stacks under 300, which the Trolls can handle.

7 trolls, no loss! With a full army I lost 54 assassins 5 trolls and 60 barbarians. Enjoy the one stack army in Mage

77k?! The spider is 12.7k XP on impossible with a Ancient Knowledge scroll on.

Did you play a lot of turns so that the summoned spider stacks grant you all that extra XP?

Yeah, assassins and barbarians probably aren't the right troop for that fight. I just beat it no losses with Paladin on impossible. Army was:

6 Red Dragons, 6 Green Dragons, ~130 Royal Snakes, 9 Bone Dragons, 7 Arch Demons.

Cast stone skin on everything the spider can hit, and then just pound away on him. Note that I had Twinkling boots, Slippery Cuirass, and that one dress for a base of 43% physical resistance.

Instead of a single stack of titans... why not 4... and royal snakes?

Im yet to understand this whole "no-losses" trend. What´s so wrong about loosing some units once in a while?

[Metathron]

Nothing per se, it's just to spice things up for those veterans who find the game too easy. Mind you, in Armored Princess, the incentive for no loss battles is much higher, as the game will reward you for it by giving you leadership (the Grand Strategy medal).
