Champion of the Arena thread

Any advice on how to no loss the Arena Grand Champion? I've tried solo plants with Hagrid but he seems to murder them faster than Hagrids rebuff.

I've tried a lineup of Red Dragon/Paladin/Inquisitor/Repair Droid/Guard Droid, but their DPS isn't fast enough to down him before his "spawn enemy" attack grows too much for me to take down in a single turn, even with Level 3 Demon Slayer can't do plants because he murders them too fast.

I'm Mage/Impossible. Thanks for any help you can give me! I've managed to no loss my way here, but now I'm stuck :/

After banging my head against the wall, I managed to beat it

Last boss I single stacked Paladins with the Crit to Demon hero. Stoneskin reduces losses to no more than 2 per "dancing blade" spell. I spent the first half of the fight running around building up my kills (I had the ability that gave me +2 attack for every kill). Since I single stacked, I could use level 2 Demon Slayer @ 10 mana instead of level 3 @ 25 and that would 1 shot every stack unless it was the Tier 5 Demons. Even then, I would 1 shot them if I crit. Also, since it was only 10 mana, I could double cast. Everytime 2-3 turns, I'd Phantom myself to resurrect my lost Paladins.

After I built my Attack to 150+, I just beelined for the main demon.
Turn 1 = Cast Phantom, Attack with main, Second Wind from phantom to main, Second wind from main to Phantom, Attack with main, Attack with Phantom.
Turn 2 = Attack with main, Fit of Energy, Attack with main, attack with Phantom
Turn 3 = Attack with main, Fit of Energy, Attack with main, attack with Phantom.
Repeat Turn 1.

I was critting for over 14,000 damage on the boss after I built up my ATK and took him down after 5 or so turns of serious damage (interrupted my spawns of course)

Because of thorns -100% fire ress, you need some fire ress items and divine armor to beat "Baal". Although with crown of blackthorn and botany diploma it should not be a problem.

One slot plant army isn't a good idea, because you can't get to Baal with them easily. Try with both thorn hunters and warriors or ents. Ancient ents would be perfect, but i have not seen more than ~4 spawn at elf land.
You can cast twice stone skin in round one, divine armor next 2 rounds and with mana spring and calm rage Baal will go down eventually.

You can get them to baal easily All you need is to cast stone skin/divine armor + teleport on round 1. As a paladin or warrior, stone skin/divine armor on round 1 is a must, so it will have to take one more turn to get to baal with them.

In the Champion of the arena mini-campaign, I found teleport to be a wickedly overpowered and downright amazing spell on a vast humber of occasions, well worth having it.
