Notes[]
- The player starts with 2 Mana Crystals, while Galakrond starts with 3, in both Story and Heroic mode.
- Galakrond always equips Galakrond's Claw at the start of game.
- For more information how Galakrond's Annihilation works, see Flik Skyshiv.
- Galakrond's Invoke effect summons a 8/8 Reanimated Dragon with Taunt.
- If the player somehow gets Invoke cards from Galakrond while their deck does not have Galakrond hero card, the cards will still use the boss' Invoke effect, which summons a Reanimated Dragon. Edit: Not anymore. Playtested 2021-05-19
- Galakrond prefers to play highest cost cards first.
Strategy[]
Please add any available information to this section.In Story, this is just a matter of stabilizing well enough until you can consistently get Treasures. If you do, choose the appropriate Treasure, like Board clears or minion buffs. Don't choose Dr. Boom's Boombox unless well ahead, as Annihilation will just destroy them all and Galakrond can usually shrug off the ensuing damage. Stone Fox Statue can get you free strong minions too, so you can take it if you think there is a decent probability of getting one.
If you have nothing in particular to do, like when the board is empty but no minion summoning choices are offered, you can choose Untold Splendor to save it for later.
In Heroic mode, Chaos Gazer can do pretty well as Galakrond will usually discard that card, or lose tempo. Anti-dragon tech cards are strongly recommended as Galakrond uses a lot of dragons. Really easy way to beat Galagrond is to use steamcleaner after the Rafaam phase changes. Galagronds deck is different compared to Rafaams, so it gets destroyed. After that you have to survive his cards in hand.
