Had some real difficulty defeating this level! tried with a huge variance of builds but can't seem to get past the 3rd level. All the previous threads on this level seem to have been before the big nerf and so a lot of there advice is no longer feasible. So far I have tried, 3 dwarf wizards (firestorm) 2 dwarf wizards 1 dwarf cleric(firestorm and roots+lava), 3 dwarf priest vampires, 2 wizards (human/dwarf) 1 priest (dwarf), 1 elf wizard 1 elf warrior 1 elf cleric, 3 warriors (2 dwarf 1 human), 2 warriors one Priest. and probably some i've forgotten.
I could think of a couple different ways to beat that quest, but part of it depends on what you have available. Possible ideas: Lvl 4 firestorm wizard (yes, level 4), draw priest, heal priest. All dwarf. Resistant hide on wiz, reliable mail on priests. Damage wiz, control wiz, buff/heal priest. All dwarf. 2 volcano wiz, heal/terrain cleanse priest. All dwarf. Tank warrior, direct damage wiz, heal priest. All dwarf. It might be best to post your build(s), whether trying the above or one of your own for additional thoughts. To do so: Go to the Keep on the Hinterlands and make sure you have the build you want loaded Press F1 twice, a black text box should appear. Type partyanddecksbbcode into the box and hit enter. Press F1 again. Come to this thread and paste the results into the message box.
Tried the volcano build first. Managed to get to the 4th level , but best i managed was down to the tan slime and 2 ochres left all on low - medium hit points Beird enfyre Level 20 Dwarf Wizard Cottonwood Staff Trog Melter Xipil Ring Xipil Ring Rod Of Palver Pree Stookster's Amulet Crimson Robe Chestnut Boots Novice Ferocity Novice Teleportation 1 x Force Bolt 3 x Melt Armor 1 x Firestorm 2 x Volcano 1 x Cautious Sneak 2 x Telekinesis 2 x Dimensional Traveller 2 x Charge 1 x Resistant Hide 1 x Cloth Armor 1 x Dodge 1 x Hot Spot 1 x Flash Of Agony 1 x Dangerous Maneuver 2 x Spark 1 x Force Cannon 5 x Magma Spray 1 x Arcane Spray 2 x Barge 3 x Stone Spikes 1 x Quick Step 1 x Flimsy Block Shorty McMagic Level 15 Dwarf Wizard Torching Staff Lizard Fryer Xipil Ring Xipil Ring Xipil Ring Pendant Of Artax Emberfloat Mantle Boots Of The Foolish Untrained Toughness Novice Teleportation 3 x Short Spark 1 x Parry 1 x Firestorm 1 x Shrug It Off 3 x Volcano 1 x Wild Run 1 x Sparkling Cloth Armor 1 x Telekinesis 6 x Magma Spray 3 x Flame Spit 1 x Reliable Hide Armor 1 x Glob Of Flame 1 x Hover 2 x Dimensional Traveller 1 x Dangerous Maneuver 2 x Spark 1 x Deadly Spark 1 x Flame Jet 1 x Little Zap 2 x Unstable Bolt 1 x Force Bolt 1 x Quick Step Healy Knees Level 17 Dwarf Priest Vigun's Blessed Blade Assuaging Mace Cleansing Hide Armor Quinn's Buckler Xalanen's Boots Cleansing Diamond Jygpin's Healing Ring Ravenna's Incense Untrained Toughness Novice Cleansing 1 x Sapping Spear 3 x Strong Hack 1 x Healing Dash 1 x Stab 1 x Light Heal 1 x Cleansing Presence 1 x Parry 4 x Cleansing Ray 1 x Shrug It Off 1 x Officer's Harness 1 x Heal 2 x Dodge 1 x Shimmering Aura 3 x Surestrike Blessing 1 x Team Heal 1 x Limited Heal 1 x Holy Presence 2 x Inspiring Presence 1 x Inspiration 2 x Reliable Hide Armor 1 x Subtle Parry 2 x Minor Heal 3 x Simple Bash
Well it sounds like you're getting closer. I will say looking at your build it looks like you're not taking nearly enough advantage of traits. Every trait draws another card so it effectively makes your deck smaller (and therefore more likely to draw your powerful cards). Even many "bad" traits are worth having. For example, Squeamish doesn't hurt you if you're trying to kill your opponents with lava because it doesn't prevent you from casting it. I'd probably try two Hotglass Staff on both wiz, as well as a Robe Of Lightness on each. Then replace Stookster's with a Rune Stone. And use some tokenless boots that have a trait. Likewise see what you can do with traits on your priest. All the items I've recommended are common/uncommon so if you don't have them you should be able to find them in shops within a few days. Good luck!
I haven't done many quests since the reset, and still had this one open. I shifted a few things after the first and second maps, but I used this build to beat 3 and 4. It would probably also work on 1 and 2.

Something to cnsider about quests: When SP co-op goes live with the new expansion, you will be able to run available quests with friends, and each player will get a bonus chest. You might want to save some for this.
