You can block the path of Anub'arak with Skeleton Parties close to the base. He will get through eventually, but it saves some gold you can invest in even more parties. I had no poison talent for Quillboar but a slightly higher average level at 25.3 and won with 40 seconds left.
Thanks for the video! I finally got onyxia! Just a useful tip, because of the max 12 Beatles for this hero, during overtime, rotate between unbound, and make sure all the Beatles get killed before placing another one. One of my mistake is the spam bats from base during overtime, and then the Beatles are trapped in close to the base and couldn’t get killed instantly, and wouldn’t be able to maintain poison.
Finally did it after 10 or so tries, thank you OG! Average army level was 25.1. One note I had for anyone struggling - I always failed if the AI sent the gargoyle from the middle (closest) tower. I was able to clear it easily after getting it to send it down the right lane, giving me a lot more time to kill it. I'm not sure exactly what did it, but I had a lot of minis swarmed around the middle tower, potentially having it send from a different location.
@shinjawong2173 because it costs a lot of money? If you can spend a fortune on the game you probably don't need this strategy to begin with. Onyxia is not that hard if you have high level minis. You are like the guys that say ,,quit playing on a toster pc"
@@shinjawong2173 With Headless Horseman it could be done quite easily, but now we don't only have a leader, not a mini to upgrade as high as we can (so 120 gold, not 90 and 1200, not 900 with Rare-o-matic), but also we have 3 LEADERS to buy on a 30-day event. So yeah, for a F2P player rare is the max rarity we can get for all this 3 leaders (so only 2 talents bought).
Thanks so much @OldGuardian your thourough explanation really made it possible. It took me x3 tries and until I learned to be patient to trigger overtime then, is like your video Onyx went down with all the poison
Talents are offered on regular basis, but for random minis who are missing them. If you have lots of minis with open talent slots, it can take weeks to see a talent for a specific one.
I'm 1 or 2 levels behind for the minis and just can't survive also I don't have the right talent for the skeleton army.. GG Have you tried on your fresh account?
I have not had a chance to push it, but Turtle did it with a 21.6 average: ruclips.net/video/zAv4GXstnXo/видео.html I'm afraid the Ritual of Rime is more important the lower level you are.
The way I play it in this video, Witch Doctor with Spirit Ward is essential for taking down the Whelps. However, you can also kill the Whelps with Skeletons and Dire Batlings, I'll have a lower-level clear video coming soon with a Witch Doctor below 24. But cutting it altogether, I'm uncertain. There are no more Beast/Undead unbounds you could add to the deck. You'd want to be able to cycle. I wonder if Cheat Death could work as it has been used in some variants, although not as a replacement for Witch Doctor. Also, with high enough levels, the explosion Doctor might be able to clear the eggs. Hard to say without testing.
@@OldGuardian Well finished to do my dungeons for full gold, made same team and talents than you but replaced Witch Doctor with Necromancer with talent mage summon and used some bats+skeletons as you said to help out when needed and got it super easy 2 try, with lvl 25,3 team 👍 thanks again!
I just tried this on my alt. 2 runs I almost got him, but after reset time I struggled to get first tower. In addition, Anub Arak often slips by the skeles and voodoo lv25 does not solo whelps anymore. Hotfixed or am I tired 😂 My alt Voodoo troll does not have the shield talent, that maybe a problem.
Got it down on my alt too. I used Darkspear Troll with headhunting talent instead of Witch Doctor due to missing Spirit Link talent. Troll with 3 gold can clear all eggs and whelps and survives. Offtalent Which doctor + Quillboar will both die and cost 4 gold, also depending on 2 minis.
you cant do this strat without lv 26 witch doctor. i try with lv 25, only can clear half of egg. and Anubarak high lv is needed too, if you wanna take middle tower. So basicly you need proper Anu and Witch Doctor for survive
If 26 Doctor doesn't work you're either not using the shield talent or you're placing him wrong. He needs to be in max range when he attacks the eggs, and eggs at the back being popped prematurely by a beetle or smth similar can cause him to die as well. I managed just fine with a 25 doctor, and did a lot of pulls with 24 doctor in the past.
The hands are not randomized again until you win. You can change the position of every other mini except for Kobold and Leader with army slots, but Leader is stuck where it is.
Blizzard nerfed this strategy today. RIP.
Such a wicked company. I almost got Onyxia down, but I didn't have the lucky try.
So many people got their kill because of your video before that happened. 👍No take backs Blizzard

Yep, I did this by accident and was like ohhh
He shows that in another video. I think he wanted to show you can still kill her without using it.
I'm loving Anub'arak, so glad he makes a good Onyxia team because I have been sooo close but haven't been able to close it out. Thanks for the video!
Now thats a guide. Not like some other guys that just say "survive till overtime and then just spam scarabs"
That's old guardian for you! Great guides, great content love this guy!
Shade on Bulava hahahaha
Yeah, "survive till overtime" is the hardest part of the fight. Especially when Anub is conveniently the last mini in the opening rotation.
Awesome mate! I used this method as you were doing it and it worked with 9 seconds to spare
Well, if this is how I finally get to beat Onyxia, then I shall give it a shot when I can.
Thanks for the video! I finally got onyxia!
Just a useful tip, because of the max 12 Beatles for this hero, during overtime, rotate between unbound, and make sure all the Beatles get killed before placing another one.

Incredible OG! Beat her even though my Anub was stuck last in rotation. Thank you!!!
I spent 32 Red buttons trying to find the Explosive talent for Anub, somehow it never showed up after this strategy was released. What a joke
I feel you!! I’ve spent 72 red buttons as of 10 minutes ago and still haven’t appeared. So pissed! 😡
Why not just upgrade to epic lol

Thanks for the guide, just got her down on my second pull with this strat. You saved me a lot of headache!
A really great guide! I made it with a lvl 22 Anubarak deck. Great video !
Never saw you killing Onyxia before °_°
i got her with my 2nd F2P with Ø 23,9 =)
Thank you so so so much. I've been going crazy trying to beat her with my Drak (literally skills issue, I suck 😂). Finally, beat her with this deck
Quickest delivery of an onyxia guide in the west KEK, ty
Omg... did it first try with this strategy,after struggling doing it with Drakkisath for weeks. Thanks :)
Heavily impacted if Anubarak is your last card, almost impossible to survive the first waves without him out early.
Amazing. After weeks of banging my head against my desk failing with Drak, killed onyxia first try after watching this ❤
Anub'araks good, Nearly got him to legendary already
Wow, this worked first try. Thank you very much!
How are u guys even getting any talent for anub? I have him blue and after multi grid resets i havent even seen a single talent for him
Talents are offered on regular basis, but for random minis who are missing them. If you have lots of minis with open talent slots, it can take weeks to see a talent for a specific one.
@OldGuardian hi thanks for getting back to me. Ok good point however, why during beast week am I getting a lot of garbage from non beast units...
@@ionbolog1793 The family weeks only affect Leaders.
Creativity at its finest 👍 fantastic
Yeah! Thank you!
I didnt manage to make akill on time before nerf :( are there any tiers for current onyxia kill builds? great video as always :)
I would NEVER think that Onyxia guide would have other leader than Drakkisat (or any other of the top leaders) in it. xd
Thank you so much after about 10 trys It finally worked for me and The Dragonlady is down!
I was waiting for this video yesterday))
Thanks bro, I just finished Onyxia 🤝🏻
this doable wtihout ritual of rime?
Great video!!! thank you!
It Worked!
Thank you Guardian! OG!
What reveolution do you play on PC?
thanks for the guide!
1920x1080
Thanks, finally I got Onyxia kill. Something will probably be nerfed when end boss is defeated so easy.
...got to try this, I still want to pair him with Gargoyle but may need to use garg solo with speed trait...
Thank you so much.
Thanks for this. Onyxia down with just a few tries. :)
Easy kill in first try, thanks OG
Masel tov
Welcome to the "Onyxias Daddy" club
You are the boss OG!!!!
Can we get a new guide after the nerfs and buffs?
So strange, I set up identical to this but my Anu takes 4 to cycle, by then I get a gargoyle and drake that melt my team and base in seconds
I'm 1 or 2 levels behind for the minis and just can't survive also I don't have the right talent for the skeleton army.. GG Have you tried on your fresh account?
I have not had a chance to push it, but Turtle did it with a 21.6 average: ruclips.net/video/zAv4GXstnXo/видео.html
I'm afraid the Ritual of Rime is more important the lower level you are.
@@OldGuardian yeah I saw that... hopefully i get it before the nerf.. I got to 1m35 and was overrun XD
Thanks for the strat! Could you suggest some replacement for witch doctor please? I don't have spirit ward and i m far from getting him epic 😩
The way I play it in this video, Witch Doctor with Spirit Ward is essential for taking down the Whelps.

Goat just beat onyxia with a lvl 19 anub lol
my minis are higher level and i still cant beat it
I just tried this on my alt. 2 runs I almost got him, but after reset time I struggled to get first tower.
In addition, Anub Arak often slips by the skeles and voodoo lv25 does not solo whelps anymore.
Hotfixed or am I tired 😂
My alt Voodoo troll does not have the shield talent, that maybe a problem.
I was still able to kill it on my main, all good
I think you're right, it feels like it was already changed zzz
Got it down on my alt too.
I used Darkspear Troll with headhunting talent instead of Witch Doctor due to missing Spirit Link talent. Troll with 3 gold can clear all eggs and whelps and survives. Offtalent Which doctor + Quillboar will both die and cost 4 gold, also depending on 2 minis.
Also Blizzard announced they will be making changes to Anub Arak and Onyxia to counter too easy kills. So hurry before they release it 😂
spent 15€ for anubarak (5€ PC welcome Package 10€ Anu package), worth every cent. Anubarak is a fun leader
What was your strategy to level Anub so quickly?
Rare-O-Matics and XP Gems
@OldGuardian, thanks for the info. You're my go-to for tips and strats for this game. Thanks for work you do.
Why there is no prize for killing onyxia with every hero
I swapped out shaman for Harpy so I can get some extra mining. Killed it on the first try
Any way possible without having poison quill?
It actually works without the poison talent because Anub summons a beetle for Quilboar too. You only lose the ability to extend if Anub dies.
@OldGuardian thank you. You've been the best guide since I've started this game. I'll update when I finally beat Onyxia!
Just beat! Thanks bro! 🙏😁
It took me some practice to get timing down. You want people to buy anub bundles so I'd wait til next season to do any nerfs. Let us have our fun.
you cant do this strat without lv 26 witch doctor. i try with lv 25, only can clear half of egg. and Anubarak high lv is needed too, if you wanna take middle tower. So basicly you need proper Anu and Witch Doctor for survive
Turtle already 1-shot the boss with this comp with a 25 Witch Doctor and 23.7 average. 24 Doctor should be enough based on previous Onyxia strats.
If 26 Doctor doesn't work you're either not using the shield talent or you're placing him wrong. He needs to be in max range when he attacks the eggs, and eggs at the back being popped prematurely by a beetle or smth similar can cause him to die as well. I managed just fine with a 25 doctor, and did a lot of pulls with 24 doctor in the past.
@turtlehuntwow1352 wow thanks for the insight. yes, im placing him wrong. i must placing him rightmost lane/leftmost lane
Very nice! :)
Is this guide still good after Anubarak nerf ?
No, the strategy was killed.
I do it too but i use cheat death and no bats but borh works is op
Anubarak lv 25 😅 I'm still miles awaaay
did i on my 5th try, lvl 24m anub 22 full gold deck
Anu IMBA Barak
damn my Anub deck for onyxia Avg lvl is 21.1 :(
omg , well played
I can't get AR to drop as my 3rd mini like this so this can't be donm
If you dont have the right talent for witch doctor it isnt happening.
I just beat it with this setup but with pyromancer instead of wd, so it's definitely possible. Also, without ritual of rime.
they will make us all invest in him. get the gold and money.. and then they'll nerf the hell out of him.
👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

Watching your video, you get Anub on your third card. I am 10-15 games in and it has not been before 6-7 cards in. This game is a peckerhead.
The hands are not randomized again until you win. You can change the position of every other mini except for Kobold and Leader with army slots, but Leader is stuck where it is.
@@OldGuardian Finally got it, kept getting rammed, but gained .6 level average and all of a sudden it got easy. Must have just been my threshold.
Still the strat is spend a minimum of $200 and have a team of 24’s of every random useful mini
Lol no. Turtle has already done this with 20.9.
worked 1st try....sheesh
Stealth bats over guano interesting
Guano is useless. Soundbite might actually be the best talent for this fight.
🪲🪲🪲
Very eazy I win with 2 try
wow, average level is lower than 25!
