Krokopatra Rematch Made Easy

[sparkyflamefire]

2 Wizards, 2 rounds; depends on just how heavy a hitter you have. I use a storm, Attack +165%, Pierce (since Krokopatra is also storm) 34%. Not the heaviest of heavies, but getting up there.

Round 1:

Set-up wizard Potent Trap: Elemental, Curse or Hex
Hitter: Potent Storm Trap

Round 2:

Set-up wizard: Regular Trap
Hitter: Triton, with Epic

Except for the one time he didn't crit, has never done less than 11,107 Damage. Krokopatra has 11,040 life. That's what I mean by needs to be a heavy hitter.

If hitter doesn't crit, both wizards just flee, heal up and use dungeon recall. If you try to salvage battle and lose the instance is over and you will need to use the trophy to craft recharge.

One word of caution - if Krokopatra uses Sirens on first turn, you might not want to risk set-up wizard fizzling on second trap. Have set-up wizard and hitter cast regular traps on second round, and hit on third round.

One other time, on first round Krokopatra attacked hitter with Dark and Stormy, then felt alive and cheat cast Djinn killing Hitter. Hitter fled, used potion, dungeon recall, and got back in time to cast Trap on second round (Didn't have the pips to cast Triton). Third round knockout.

If your wizard isn't heavy enough, do a second round of traps and hit on third round. (With King Artorious)

That is a great plan! Very workable and practical and I completely disagree with using it because, using only two wizards, you are doubling the cost of the dungeon for Azoth received, or look at it another way, cutting the yield of Azoth in half.

Four wizards should go in on each run of the dungeon. Even if two cannot contribute part of your plan, they will still get the Azoth, doubling your yield with only two. I got 13, 14, or 15 Azoth per run, you will get only 6, 7, or 8. For the same cost in amethyst and parchment.

Better with four.

No argument from me there. But I play alone. Even doing Rematch as above, I'm playing both wizards. C'est la vie.

Edit: With 2 additional wizards casting first round traps, depending on school putting down 3 different potent traps, an even bigger hitter might be able to do a first round knockout.

Krokopatra can absolutely be first-rounded. Two Backdrafts (there's a hat that gives it as an item card), Ele Trap, and Phoenix. Dead. Krokopatra can't even hit if you're in a group. If you don't have the Backdraft hat, Willcast Hex is also a good option. Combined with a Potent Elemental Trap, you add both a +30% and a +40% trap in one turn, which is about as good as a Potent Feint.

You'd think Krokopatra would be easier than Lord Nightshade, but no no no
