You can use Groves for placing the Blood Groves and not run Cemetaries/Villages, but I like having the better loot from Skeletons early in the run before Im getting Vamp Mages, or otherwise the healing from Villages. Once I've triggered the Lich, I Oblivion the extra forest whenever I want the extra %5 insta-kill window (generally before Hunter boss, if not before Priest). I tend to place only one Blood Grove down, in range of the campfire, using a Forest tile because it covers up an extra spot where the Lich's Palace can spawn. The Fishmen can be tough in packs though, don't overlap too many reeds or you may get risky fights with no Mosquitos.įor the other cards, I run Oblivion, Blood Groves, oftentimes Chrono Crystals, and Lanterns if using Cemetaries. You can consider running your River along the path to make Reeds for Fishmen, which when combined with the Mosquitos and Mages often means you can fight 7 enemies per fight (more enemies = higher chance for a single enemy to drop OoE and more opportunities for an enemy to drop it). I bring Suburbs too, to quickly get to Necro's survival traits, but be careful not to place too many that you trigger the boss early. Thickets and Rivers are your landscape cards forever and always with Necro. As long as you still have a bit of Magic HP left, it will take all the explosion damage. Additionally, the Mosquito enemies from Swamps will explode and kill everything, making all the extra enemies fairly trivial. Your battles should all be taking place on Swamp tiles, so the Vampirism regeneration will instead slowly damage everything. This counts as an extra THREE enemies per battle. Vamp Mages turn into Tome enemies when their health is depleted, and also spawn Bats when they hit half health (Act 2 and beyond). When an Abandoned Bookery aura overlaps with a Vamp Mansion aura, it adds a Vampire Mage to any battle in the overlapping auras. cemetaries also work well if you can generate skeleton mages consistently to do magic damage, or dont mind Oblivion-ing them late game.īring Vampire Mansions and Bookeries. You'll need another path tile, villages are pretty good for the healing, but ghouls, bandits, and quest monsters can be a pain.

Best way I found to get OoE is with Necro.īasic strat is to cover (most of) the loop in swamps.
