What, no topic from scifantasy within 5 minutes of the stream ending? :p
I tried a game where Fanatic destroyed every card in the Court of Blood's deck (be it by End of Days, by Consecrated Ground, or by beating it to death in various combinations), but that wasn't Xtreme enough. Nor was the fact that End of Days destroyed 42 cards. I think I'll keep tooling around in COB, that seems like a decent place to start...
Good luck everyone.
Anyone try defeating a villain by playing a 29 Damage Wrathful Retribution in CoB?
So sue me, I had a prior engagement tonight.
grin
Well, it was boosted by only 1 point of damage to make it a total of 30, but I tried this with Legacy, TLTachyon, Fanatic and PWAA vs. Ambuscade. No unlock, no dice…
First time poster, long time lurker.
I got the unlock, but can't offer a log unfortunately, as I was playing on my phone (screenshot here: https://imgur.com/a/PN7Gx)
Playing vs. Ambuscade in Court of Blood.
Legacy, F6 Tachyon, Dark Visionary, RC Wraith and Fanatic.
All Vampires entered play and were destroyed by Fanatic herself, and we finished up with Sacrosanct, Zealous Offense, Embolden and Undaunted, as well as both of her equipment cards (Edited for accuracy) in play, and with Fanatic dealing the final blow (though I'm not sure that's actually a part of the unlock since the other three don't seem to be dependent on that).
Other things which could be of note: Hunter Fulepet never entered play, Twist the Ether on Visionary meant that Fanatic was pumping out a tremendous amount of Radiant Damage. When Unhallowed Halls was out, she was using almost exclusively Infernal Damage to get the buff. If I can think of anything else that might be of use I'll edit this post.
So you got it upon winning the game?
Ok, so, I just got it. Vs Ambuscade in Court of Blood.
I had out Absolution, Martyr, Undaunted, Zealous Offense, and Divine Focus for much of the game.
Never used Martyr, and never saw Chastise, Embolden, or the Aegis.
I also killed every Vampire with Radiant damage, and destroyed one Hunter and one Mob with Consecrated Ground. Also, every target destroyed was done by Fanatic.
I suspect, however, that Divine Focus may be the key; defeat the villain while DF is in play, and deal a certain amount of Radiant damage?
Got the Unlock, I had absolution, Divine Focus and Undaunted in play. Other than that, I only used oneshots. Killed all the vampires with Radiant Damage, and Fantatic dealt the killing blow.
First attempt, no joy.
Ambuscade vs. TLTach, Legacy, Fanatic, and XPW Tempest in the Court.
Fanatic killed 5 vampires including Blood countess Bathory, mostly with radiant damage. (I think I used final Dive on one). Had Absolution, Focus, Undaunted, and Zealous Offense out at game end. Also played Brutal Censure and Divine Sacrifice during the game. Fanatic got the final hit. No unlock.
I'm a little disappointed that my idea of 'do all the things to Vampires in Court of Blood' is probably correct, but I ruined it by playing End of Days.
I have what may be a useful non-unlock. RC Wraith / SS Tachyon / Visionary / Fanatic, Court of Blood, Gloomweaver.
- Fanatic destroyed each Vampire with Radiant damage (a couple of them twice, since the deck cycled).
- Fanatic only played one-shots and used her base power the entire match.
- It was a Relic victory and one Vampire had come back out into play just before the match ended.
So, I'm not sure what part of that was the problem - the lack of any ongoings (one person on Steam reports only having Undaunted out)? the fact that a vampire was active? The fact that the villain was not KO'd?
Court of blood, fanatic killed all vampires. Fanatic got the killing blow.
Did NOT get the unlock.
Variables were:
Fanatic killed one vampire with melee damage.
Fanatic killed one vampire with Final Dive.
Undaunted, sacrosanct martyr, Absolution, divine focus, Aegis in play.
Used: Wrathful retribution.
I suspect that killing all the vampires specifically with Radiant damage is the key.
Unlocked on Mobile. Fanatic killed all vampires with radiant damage and dealt final blow to Gloomweaver… played most Ongoings at some point or another but never End of Days or Chastise.
Just played a game. I made sure to kill every single Vampire with Radiant, and Fanatic got the killing blow with Radiant.
No unlock.
So it isn't JUST killing all the vampires with radiant.
She had Undaunted, Absolution, and Zealous Offense in play most of the game. She never did play Divine Focus.
Did exact same thing with a few changes.
Never played Divine Retribution.
Killing blow was with Divine Focus
Never took damage from Divine focus.
Could it be related to Divine Sacrifice?
EDIT: No unlock, and i meant Wratheful Retribution
@UXM266 So you did or didn't get unlock?
I did play Divine Sacrifice early in my game.
I assume you mean Wrathful Retribution?
I updated my post with a note. i did not unlock, and i meant wrathful, i was thinking of the other divine cards
Just played a game, and got the unlock. Here are the details.
Villain - Ambuscade
Environment - Court of Blood
Heroes
1. Standard Fanatic
2. Standard Legacy
3. Rookv City Wraith
4. Dark Visionary
Fanatics setup
1. Absolution
2. Aegis of Resurrection
3. Zealous Offense
4. Divine Retribution
During the game, Fanatic had twist the Aether from Visionary, converting all damage to radiant. RCW was used to speed up the environment, playing out all the Vampires. Fanatic KO'd all vampires with radiant damage. She was the only hero to KO a target, though one of the vampires KO'ed one of Ambuscade's guns. She KO'ed the villain to win, using Divine Focus for the KO damage. Divine Focus was only out at the end, and did not contribute a lot of damage to the effort at all. The KO damage type was radiant.
How many unlocks had Absolution out at one point or another? Did it at least make an appearance?
I had Absolution, but no unlock.
From the looks of it so far everyone had Absolution on the board at least when they unlocked, so that may be a part of the puzzle.
When taking out environment targets, what powers did everyone attack them with?
When I unlocked, I did have Absolution and didn’t have Aegis. I destroyed vampires with both my base power and Absolution with all damage made radiant via Twist the Ether. I may have destroyed some vampires with one-shots, can’t recall.
I hope this isn't too long. It details one non-unlock and one unlock. The major difference seems to be that in the first one, I did _not_ kill all the vampires and in the second one, I did. I don't have a log for the first, unfortunately.
Log attached, no unlock.
Fanatic played Absolution and End of Days, and no other Ongoing or Equipment cards. She destroyed each Vampire with radiant damage from Absolution. No other hero destroyed any vampires. Fanatic did not destroy any other targets, including Ambuscade. However, other heroes did damage vampires, and Fanatic did damage other targets, some of it with melee damage but most of it with radiant. Angry Mob did not come out, and a different hero destroyed the Hunter.
You definitely did more than 100 radiant as well, so that's not it, at least not by itself. I notice that you didn't play Divine Focus, but it did get drawn. Could be the difference, along with other constraints?
Divine Focus does seem to have been played in all successful unlocks. However, I believe I also had Fanatic destroy fewer total targets than any of the successful unlocks. I'll try to repeat, changing only Divine Focus being played, and see what that does.
Can it simply be defeat all vampires and use all cards that deal radiant damage at least once? The amount of damage, the number of cards destroyed,a nd killing blow don't matter?
Got the unlock.
Pretty much the same recipe: Fanatic, Ambuscade, Court of Blood, kill vampires with Radiant.
Things I changed: Played Divine Focus, finished him with Wrathful Retribution
Notes: For sure the only things in play at the end were Absolution, Undaunted, and Zealous Offense. I definitely did NOT play Embolden, Chastise, Sacrosanct Martyr, End of Days, Aegis of Resurrection, or Prayer of Desperation, so none of those should be required.
Forgot to copy my log before ending the game this time, but no unlock. Divine Focus and Absolution were in play, but none of Fanatic's other ongoings or equipment were played, and she never dealt damage with Divine Focus. Again, Fanatic destroyed no non-vampire targets, but she did destroy all vampires (one of them twice). All other targets were destroyed by heroes, and they destroyed no vampires. Legacy got the finishing blow against Ambuscade. I don't believe I ever played Brutal Censure, so the "play all Radiant-damage one-shots" theory is not negated.
Unsuccessful log:
Got the unlock on Android as well.
Did pretty much the same thing, although I did NOT play Wrathful Retribution this time, so that's probably not required either. Also, while Fanatic did kill every single vampire at least once, the deck reshuffled and one of them was in play when the game ended (and I got the unlock), so it looks like that won't prevent an unlock either.
Just played Fanatic/FS Parse/RC Wraith/Hunted Naturalist/Visionary Vs Apostate in Court of Blood.
Every vampire was killed by Fanatic with radiant damage, no vampires in play at the end of the game and Apostate was killed by Fanatic’s innate.
Cards that were played by during the game were: absolution, aegis, brutal censure, consecrated ground, holy nova, sanctifying strike, smite the transgressor, undaunted and wrathful retribution.
No unlock.
No divine sacrifice which means I didn’t get all the radiant damage one shots out, and no divine focus.
Got the unlock. Court, Radiant. I think it’s “Fanatic must destroy at least 10 targets with Radiant damage” and maybe “with Absolution dealing Radiant damage.”
Though I did have Undaunted out and Divine Favor was out for a while.
Got it. Court of blood against Ambuscade. Fanatic took no infernal damage and destroyed each vampire with radiant damage. Unduanted was in play as well but It may be that it helps with not taking infernal damage and as a result the people who unlocked it have had it in play.
It's not that. I just played against Voss and met exactly those criteria. Absolution and Divine Favor were out, but not Undaunted. Fanatic killed 11 targets including Voss with radiant damage, though some not with Absolution. But only a couple of those were vampires.
Good to know Divine Favor doesn't have to be out at the end of the game, though.
Combining my unlocks with some unlocks seen on Steam, the following cards are NOT required:
Embolden, Chastise, Sacrosanct Martyr, End of Days, Aegis of Resurrection, Prayer of Desperation, Wrathful Retribution, Santifying Strike, Smite the Transgressor, and Divine Sacrifice.
That leaves Zealous Offense, Undaunted, Absolution, Brutal Censure, Final Dive, Holy Nova, Consecrated Ground, and Divine Focus as possibly required. Can anyone eliminate any of those?
I'm starting to think that it maybe has something to do with using Consecrated Ground at some point, possibly to specifically destroy Unhallowed Halls.
Well it's not just that and killing the Vampires with radiant.
Edit: that's another unsuccessful log btw.
I thought that too, so I did use consecrated ground to destroy unhallowed halls.
If that is part of it then I must have missed something else.
I got the unlock without either Final Dive or Consecrated Ground.
Here is the log
That one's helpful. 10 targets destroyed, including all 6 vampires. Absolution, Aegis, Smite the Transgressor, Embolden, Sacrosanct Martyr, Undaunted, Holy Nova, Sanctifying Strike, Zealous Offense, Chastise, Divine Focus, End of Days, Wrathful Retribution, and Brutal Censure were played. Of those, Aegis, Embolden, Sacrosanct Martyr, Sanctifying Strike, Chastise, End of Days, Wrathful Retribution, and Smite are for sure not required based on other reports. Absolution, Undaunted, Zealous Offense, Divine Focus, Holy Nova and Brutal Censure are still possible requirements.
The official unlock condition for Xtreme Prime Wardens Fanatic has been discovered by the community:
Win a game in the Court of Blood with regular Fanatic on the team. Fanatic must destroy each unique Vampire at least once. Fanatic must not be dealt any infernal damage.
Oh. So I didn't get it because I fought Gloomweaver and the Cursed Acolyte saw the field. Gotcha.
Good job! Now back to XPW Tempest
Got her. Ambuscade vs. RC Wraith, Legacy, Tempest, Fanatic, Haka in the Court of Blood.
Wraith milled the environment deck to hunt for vampires and played 2 Mega Computers to keep environment damage under control. Tempest/Wraith used environment-killing one shots to remove annoyances like Unhallowed Halls and Infecting an heir. Legacy made sure Fanatic had the damage boosts to slaughter vampires, and Haka played cleanup on Ambuscades deck.
Quick advice for folks looking to unlock this easily: Mass Levitation.
Even with Blood Countess Bathory's nemesis bonus against Fanatic, she can't deal more than 3 damage in a single hit. Just keep Mass Levitation up, fight a villain like Ambuscade who doesn't deal infernal damage, and use Rook City Wraith to get vampires in play, and you'll have zero difficulty getting this unlock. :D
That's not quite true if Unhallowed Halls comes out
Mega Computers for the win.
Or get three Megacomputers out. That way you don't have to use Visionary's power phase for it each time.
Or Naturalist.
I just want to say that getting to nuke people with Sacrosanct Martyr is stupid amounts of fun. And using her against Plague Rat is just plain silliness.
I took down Bugbear with one hit of Holy Nova
RC Wraith was the MVP in my unlock. Mega Computers, Grappling Hook to get rid of Unhallowed Halls, and base power to bring on the Vampires. TLT gave everyone cards. Grandpa Legacy, and XPW Argent Adept gave RC Wraith powers if no Vampires were out, else Fanatic. Fanatic swept up the Vampires.
Got her. Legacy, RC Wraith, Dark Visionary, XPWAA and Fanatic. Legacy for the power boost, RC Wraith for the megacomputers and getting vampires out, DV on villain control and Twist the Ether duties, XPWAA to get Fanatic extra card plays and powers, vs. Ambuscade.
With all the damage boosts she had, Fanatic all but killed Ambuscade on her own after wrecking the last vampire.
Yep, I feel like we got lucky with this one. We were on the right track with killing all the vampires, but priceyprovinces coming up with the "no infernal damage" thing was inspired. I got it using Final Dive on one of the vampires, so destroying them with damage at all, let alone radiant damage, was definitely completely wrong.
Rook City Wraith is definitely hugely helpful for all the ways described above. Bringing along at least one of Visionary (for Mass Levitation) and/or Haka (for Enduring Intercession) and/or The Sentinels (for Human Shield) to prevent accidental infernal damage from going to Fanatic is strongly advised. Greatest Legacy and/or any Argent Adept are handy to give Fanatic more opportunities to kill vampires.
Antelope Naturalist with Environmental Allies is a pretty quick way to guarantee the environment isn't messing with you, and then The Naturalist can spend the rest of the game doing what he does best.
I feel bad for Ambuscade. Based on a lot of these threads, he's usually the go-to person to smack around to unlock variants.
This wouldn't be a good one for this unlock but I'm surprised the unlocks which aren't villain specific don't see more people using Deadline.
For me at least, it's a trade between making sure I have enough ongoing destruction and "Well, I'll just deal a bunch of damage round 1 and not have to think much about the villain again"
This quote will go down in history… 
Why?
Deadline destroys your stuff. Ambuscade don't. :B
Deadline can also easily get out of control with destroying the environment. He's easy to beat but difficult to stall.
Or you could do what I did one game and start with two Sarabandes, the Pipes, and a Dynamic Siphon, I think it was.
My go to matchup for unlocking variants is Dark Visionary, AA, and Team Leader Tachyon, plus whomever the necessary hero is, and a flexible fifth depending on the requirements who is usually either Wraith, Grampa Legacy, or Parse, against Grand Warlord Voss. He's nice, predictable, deals no damage if you keep him on his front side, and even his two ships and Forced Deployment aren't too hard to handle.
And in this case, Deadline might be destroying the vampires that need to end up facing Fanatic's blade.
I tend to bring Tempest along for access to Cleansing Downpour.
Did handelabra forget to make an unlock via button available as the unlock condition was already revealed?
That happens after 30 days
Or a somewhat recent-ish policy where it's also if the unlock conditions are found, whichever happens sooner, after enough people asked for it.
If the unlock condition wasn't discovered it happens after 30 days otherwise a button appears "soon" after the unlock condition was discovered and confirmed which already happened^^
Yep, forgot! It's there now.
Thank you
Thats why I said facing Deadline might be a bad choice for this unlock originally.
I was riffing on how people love to dump on RC Wraith. I think most of us know she's great for these kinds of situations, but I was entertained by this.
I used RC Wraith, and age was useful for getting rid of non-vampire cards, but the stand outs for me were Parse and Naturalist.
Naturalist kept the vampires under control and Parse’s exploit vulnerabilities and critical multipliers meant Fanatic could cut through vampires like soft butter.
They’re possibly two of my favourite decks to use currently too, especially with their variants, so I throw them in wherever I can.
He's a bad choice for just about any unlock, because unless you have reliable, early ongoing destruction (which is impossible – only one character has Ongoing destruction as a base power, but he still requires certain cards in hand to activate it), you're playing with a time limit.
And even if you have tons of ready ongoing destruction, he has a card that pulls out several Ongoings at once, so you can't really avoid the countdown.
Ambuscade, however, you can stall indefinitely. He can only win through doing damage (which is easily manageable), and he never destroys any of your stuff. So if there's a particular set-up you need for an unlock, you can do it with him no problem.
Jeysie already covered that
Yeah, that was a crazy stroke of good luck (along with some related stuff like Downpour and the Crest) that amounted to one amusingly cheap game against Deadline. Not recommended to rely upon as a regular tactic, though. ;P
Even so I don't feel Deadline overall is that hard of a villain to control for these unlocks and I have used him in unlocks which aren't villain specific. If it does require something from the environment then I will use Voss or Ambuscade typically.
The big issue with using Deadline is taht he can deal infernal damage.
My “go to” is generally Gloomweaver, but I’ve thrown Ambuscade, Blade, and even Matriarch into the mix based off what I’m trying to do. I think I’ve used Deadline on some as well… really just depends on what the specific conditions are (or what I think they are if they’re unknown at the time).
I got my unlock vs. Voss using Legacy, Haka, Captain Cosmic, and XPW AA (and Fanatic, obviously.) A pair of Energy Bracers + Undaunted made Fanatic mostly untouchable, Legacy gave Fanatic the damage to kill the vampires quickly, and Haka kept the villain side clear.
Probably took a lot longer than it should have, but an unlock is an unlock.
I chose Fanatic and Court of Blood and then hit random. I got Naturalist, America's Greatest Legacy and Fanatic against Voss. Naturalist practically does the entire thing himself. He tanks the damage, nullifies the environment, (Environmental Allies) kills off the minions (Cornered Beast) and then locks down the villain deck. (Hyperactive Senses) With a huge card draw, he sets up quickly and gets what he needs just as fast. The vampires and heroes joined forces to beat back the alien menace, for which Fanatic thanked them by burning them out with unholy fire. But she got an awesome new outfit for doing it, so it's cool.
I found a bug.
Fanatic destroyed each vampire, but used Final Dive to destroy Drudge Ficko. I didn’t get the unlock. The environment never did any damage because of Natural Allies.
It appears that the unlock doesn’t count using Final Dive and “destroying” the card, even though Final Dive says “destroy a target with 4 HP or less.”
Do you have a game log by chance?
This was on IOS, so no game log.
What villain did you play against?
Ambuscade. Grandpa Legacy, Dark Visionary, Hunted Naturalist, RC Wraith, Redeemer Fanatic.
I re-checked the conditions, and it appears that I used the wrong Fanatic. The unlock condition says “regular fanatic,” and I used Redeemer fanatic.
EDIT: tried again with regular fanatic and got the unlock.
Glad it worked this time
