Notes
To edit these notes, go to Template:Grand Widow Faerlina notes.
- Faerlina's Hero Power selects its targets randomly, much like Arcane Missiles. It can therefore hit Stealthed targets and elusive minions such as Faerie Dragon.
Tips[edit | edit source]
- To reduce the damage of Faerlina's Hero Power, the player should try to use up the cards in their hand as much as they can. Constructing a deck composed of low-cost cards can help with this.
- Alternatively, this fight can be thought of as a DPS race - burn her down before her Hero Power overwhelms you.
- Zoo-type decks are effective against Faerlina. These decks work by playing swarms of low-cost minions and cheap Taunt cards early on to overwhelm your opponent, thus keeping the count of cards in your hand perpetually low. It is recommended to also include removal to deal with Worshippers, Necroknights, and Dancing Swords should they become a problem.
- Hunter is fairly useful against her, with a lot of low-cost cards and constant DPS from the Hero Power. However, avoid draw combos such as Starving Buzzard.
