Galakrond’s Awakening Heroic Guide - Chapter 1 (Battle of the Frozen Coast)

Hearthstone’s new adventure has just launched, pitting the forces of good and E.V.I.L. against one another in a series of set piece encounters. Much like the old Adventures of the past, these battles are fought against specific pre-made decks, with a twist that you’re also using similar ones in the Story mode. However, you’re left to your own devices on Heroic, forced to rely on your own collection to beat the baddies (and the good guys as well). Have no fear: we’ve collected a set of decks and a handful of handy tips for you to conquer Heroic mode!

The Simple Solution

The way the encounters of Galakrond’s Awakening were constructed in Week 1 means that you can basically take any sort of OTK deck and beat the bosses with it – especially if they use cards from Wild, skyrocketing your potential power level. Since the opponents use (almost) identical decks in the Story mode and Heroic, and the main differences come from the mana cost of their Hero Power and their health total, these encounters are not particularly difficult. A standard Holy Wrath Paladin build with a Platebreaker or Alexstrasza tech for specific encounters will get you through both pathways without any problem, and the same holds true for something like Mecha'thun Warlock. (You can find these decklists below.) With that in mind, we decided to have a bit of fun with (and at the expense of) these enemies and decided to show them who’s really the boss by using a random assortment of decks, basically any of which you can rely on to take them down in Heroic.
