Nefarian Rises!
Join forces with a friend to take down Nefarian. Again. Anduin teams up with newcomer Morgl in this new cooperative Tavern Brawl!
How it Works
You and another player will play as either Morgl the Shaman or Anduin the Priest.
Nefarian, a 200 health boss with taunt, will swap sides of the field so that you will attack him on your turn.
You and your friend need to work together to defeat Nefarian.
At the end of each player’s turn, Nefarian gets to cast a random spell from his collection.
When Nefarian hits 160 Health, he will cast Elemental Eruption and gain 5 Attack.
When Nefarian hits 60 Health, he will cast Twisted Light and gain another 5 Attack for a total of 10.
You cannot bypass any of Nefarian’s phases. If a 4 damage attack would take him from 162 health to 158, it only deals 2 damages putting him at 160 health.
If at any point your side has 7 minions on it, Nefarian will destroy them all since he can’t move into a slot.
