I didn't create special parties for the Black Plume Mountain. My usual party is quite good, probably with some modifications. Here I will show the variant for the last battle, but I've just changed 3-4 items to increase my chances. Baldur - lvl 20 Dwarf Priest (The Warden) Healing Hand Mace Darkblood Glaive Orange Shield Holy Knight Armor Ozerian's Boots St. Ulrich's Bones *2 + Skull Of Savage Iljin Advanced Toughness Novice Piety Odin - lvl 20 Dwarf Wizard - The Controller Sulphuric Staff Greater Sulphuric Staff Larkin's Orb Farzil's Perplexing Horn Axander's Twisted Circlet Sarigo's Rod Firehide Robes Quellic's Boots Perfect Toughness Electroporter Novice Freya - lvl 20 Dwarf Wizard - The Firestormer Staff Of Embers Staff Of The Fire God Axander's Twisted Circlet Crown Of Mad Eskin * 2 + Brin's Storm Locket Firehide Robes Sliding Boots Perfect Toughness Focused Pyromancy The description will follow in a separate message, to avoid making this message too long.
Firestorm is undoubtfully a bad strategy versus the dragon, as he has more HPs than you and constantly reflects your spells back at you. But I was too lazy to invent a special deck So I've modified my usual farming party a bit. My farming party is two Firestorming wizards + one supporting priest. The only new twist of it are *five* Savage Curses from Darkblood Glaive and Skull Of Savage Iljin. Yes, both items are legendary, so you will have to invent another twist if you don't have them I like Savage Curse because in most cases you have a lot of unneeded cards anyway; why not converting them into the extra damage? This also helps you to penetrate the mobs' armor, though you'd better discard it with Dissolve Armor. Another minor twists are Blesses and Arrogant Armors (invaluable vs the dragon!) To defeat the dragon, I've changed Freya's Morbo's Pendant to Axander's Twisted Circlet. Odin was changed more: his Greater Sulphuric Staff replaced Staff Of Winter, and all his arcane items used to be various Firestorm items (mostly Morbo's Pendants). Baldur remained absoutely the same. The idea is simple: discard the dragon's hand with mass SPRs and Dissolve Armors, then kill it with boosted spells, Path Of Knives and lava. It's quite possible, and the chances are good, though not as good as for the dedicated anti-dragon deck. Note that I have absolutely no Nimbuses
Since both Savage Curse Divine Weapons are Legendary, what do you recommend for someone who doesn't have either?
You can try Unholy Wellspring. It adds only 3 damage but you don't have to discard extra cards. Demon Charm Of The 7th Circle looks like the best item for this party; even Bad Luck has its uses as block remover and block/armor dampener.
