Getting past the bloody spider.

[gunnyhighway]

Finally beat it last night on impossible my icespike trick took while and lots of luck. Needed him to not drop spiders down a few times to catch up on the ice spikes. Trolls are so awesome with their instant life return on start of next round.

I needed a quite a few tries.
Initially I used assassins and maidens, but i kept reloading because i didn't want to lose any of those.
Then I used Trolls (3), Jarls, Polar Bears, Royal Snakes and vikings.
I used the trolls, snakes and bears to attack the spider (boss). Jarl allowed me to attack twice the spider with bears. Then in the middle of the battle I also used vikings to attack her (all of my vikings died)

I defeated the spider in 11 rounds(achievement) on impossible.

This is what i used: (Warrior - Impossible)
I had to restart a few times because he kept using range attacks in almost every rounds and both maidens had resurrect in cool down.
But in the last battle he got busy with the ancient bears from call of nature spell
Just before the final blow , the snakes made a critical hit of 11 000 dmg on him.
I didn't got the achievement but at least was a no loss battle.

Warriors has a skill called Absolute Rage (+50% critical damage)
Beside that , the snakes killed most of the spiders. With the help from Jarls ability they where able to attack twice per round , when the ability was available . Frenzy skill allowed the snakes to build up a large amount of Attack Power after each kills, therefore they got insane damage at the end of the battle.

Does absolute rage 3 increase the multiplier to 225% or 200%? I assume the former as it was multiplicative in CW, but I'm not sure if it still is in WotN.

I'm not completely sure, but it is completely worth the upgrade!

Berserker skill does multiply directly, so a tiny stack of paladins can easily do crap tons, so even if Absolute Rage 3 was additive, it is still terribly powerful.

I'll run it through my spreadsheet when I have a chance.

level 22? wow? I was like level ~18 when I did it (had massive loses too but similar army except no warrior maidens because my game didn't spawn any, which shouldn't've even be possible at all...... limit first 4islands to 1race then don't even assure that race appears?)

I was 20 at boss spider on impossible with learning 3 20% xp made asap and lvl 3 Medal for another 15% and Treasure searcher medal for another 5%, and 1 item with 5%.

Just some thoughts... If you are on hard and only reach lvl 18 or 19 I think you are not doing the medal for 15% fast enough. Also maybe take learning even faster.
