I had to take fairly severe losses as a mage against the spider boss, even with the 'trolls'. Heck, I almost simply didn't win the battle because I don't do enough damage with units or with spells. (this was a huge concern of mine in Armored Princess that a Mage could never spell nuke a boss effectively as a Warrior using sheer leadership/damage to wipe out a boss in a fraction of the time).
Incidentally, I won by using Polar Bears and Ancient Bears, using the jacket that gave me -15% leadership for bears.  Trolls for consistent damage (and ultimately one of the last survivors) Jarls/Maidens for some damage control.
But then again, this only seems to be a 'problem' in Impossible mode so significant pre-planning and game experience is expected. |
yes that is also another problem with boss fights that it takes very long to take like 30k HP down. IN ap the bosses came a bit later so u could plan them a bit more carefully. But in WOTN u can't and are forced to use less good units. Which will take quite some time to get him down. The longer a round takes the less chance u have of winning vs a boss
Since u cannot use rage and your mana will deplete eventually unless u have some kind of mana regen. Which isn't always there.
