Meeting Mechanics

At first glance, when you enter the boss meeting, this looks like a very easy fight. A floating ring of rocks with 155 HP? No problem.

If only it were that easy, right? As soon as you crush those stones, the Door Maker, the real boss of this battle, appears. You have a more healthy, full-value life 489 of Increase 0which makes up the total amount of HP you need to get through more than 600. But that’s not too bad with the right selection of cards.

Bow before your Queen!

Unfortunately, as soon as the Doormaker appears, you only have it 3 turns to calm him down before he ran back to the back door again. While 489 lives is not a huge amount, doing it in 3 turns is not easy, especially if your desk takes time to move.

When the Door Maker disappears, it will be replaced by a new stone door, which now has 175 health, 20 above the front door.

Every time you let the Door Maker escape, you’ll have to break down a new, more powerful door. If you don’t have a lot of burst damage, this fight can go on for a really long time, blowing up your resources and knocking you down over time.

Fortunately, The gatekeeper does not end your neglect if he escapesso if you use Poison or Doom, you won’t have to start over. The new door, however, is a different matter.

Boss Strategies

Burst Decks

The last thing you want is for this fight to drag on any longer than necessary. Every time you encounter the Door Maker, he will extend your life with his heavy hitting attacks, so you don’t want to see him more than twice, very much. Unless, of course, you have crazy-powers Barricade style deck that allows you unlimited protection. This, however, is not easy to achieve in every run.

Instead, you should really try to focus on decks that allow you to deal more immediate single target damage.

Any build that focuses on usability I’m in danger and powerful attacks to deal damage will work wonders here. Whether that with a Ironclad focused on power, i Chaos That Summons High Power or even a Scythe-oriented Necrobinder. The cards cause I’m in danger again Weak will give you enough time to deal damage and stay alive.

Defensive Focus

However, if you have a slow, defense-focused deck, you may want to leave the first door alive longer than usual while you set up your strategy. Build slowly Frost-Defect, Sly-Silent or Ethereal-Necrobinder they need as much time as possible to prepare their Power and hands, so leave the real Doormaker for later, when you are ready.

Any cards you can play are almost 0 power, giving you extra power and card draw, which is very important in battles like this.

Extending your turn and drawing more cards is important to do as much at once as possible. Look at the following cards, outside the deck:

• Donation – Ironclad

• Brand – Ironclad

• Adrenaline – Silent

• The Big Bang – Regent

• Neurosurge – Necrobinder

• Modded – Feature

• Supercritical – Characteristic

Fortunately, unlike the title Queen and Trial, Doormaker doesn’t really have any other complex mechanics that affect your ability to play cards or deal damage. In fact, this war is more than DPS checktesting your ability to stay alive and deal a good amount of damage in a limited amount of time.
