Tips on how to defeat Tavern Challenges

Study your enemies

Tavern Challenges are more difficult than your usual overworld duels with hilichurl decks. These battles feature stronger opponents with special rules that give them an advantage.

For example, Rhodeia of Loch is immune to Frozen, Stun, and Petrification. What’s more, the 30 HP boss is also imbued with the Hydro status. In this situation, it’d be best to use a Pyro character who can trigger the Vaporize reaction on her.

Stock up on healing cards

While most fights will only feature one or two character cards, these cards will likely cast shields and summons that can prolong the action and end phase.

The best way to keep yourself alive is to fill your deck with healing cards, such as Favonius Cathedral and Mushroom Pizza.

Prioritize reactions for maximum damage output

For dishing out the most damage, utilize character cards that counter your opponent’s element. If the enemy is imbued with Pyro, you can field either Hydro or Cryo to maximize the bonus from Vaporize or Melt attacks respectively.

It’s important to note that not all opponents are imbued with an element, so make sure you always field two character cards that create a strong reaction together.
