Devourer’s Hunger and Necrotic Hag
One of the best combos in Boss Monster involves protecting your dungeon while dealing steady damage to heroes. Devourer’s Hunger, a card that does minor damage each time a hero enters your dungeon, works incredibly well with Necrotic Hag. Necrotic Hag draws heroes with low health and has additional benefits when heroes are damaged over time.
The two cards set up a vicious cycle. Devourer’s Hunger, in its slow, steady way, damages the heroes a little, pushing their health just low enough so that Necrotic Hag’s effect will pull them in. The effect, therefore, is that weakened heroes just keep coming, making finishing blasts easier and soul collection more plentiful. It’s a perfect setup when wearing heroes down is better than dropping a large damage burst on them all at once.
Thus, instead of having to deal with a horde of fully healed heroes, you get to pick off the half-healed ones one at a time, giving you greater control over the game flow. Your dungeon becomes a slow death trap that players will be wary of entering.
Blood Pact and Dark Prophecy
Combining the Blood Pact card with Dark Prophecy is a no-brainer for players focused on maximizing soul income quickly. Blood Pact increases the number of souls you draw, while Dark Prophecy amps up your dungeon’s ability to attract and kill heroes faster.
Blood Pact’s primary advantage is its ability to convert damage dealt into souls, rewarding aggressive dungeon builds. When paired with Dark Prophecy, which lets you foresee hero attacks and optimize your defense accordingly, you’re able to bring in more heroes and turn their demise into even greater soul gains. This setup accelerates your path to unleashing your boss’s powerful effects.
This allows a blend of offense and economy that pushes your dungeon towards victory quicker than standard builds. You’re dealing more damage, managing threats more effectively, and raking in more souls. Players who struggle with slower soul collection will find this combo a helpful boost to gain momentum early.
Trap Master and Exploding Barrel
Trap Master increases the effectiveness of your explosive traps and reduces the damage heroes can deal when triggering them. Coupling this with Exploding Barrel turns your dungeon into a fiery hellscape that’s not so easy to raid.
Exploding Barrel inflicts heavy damage on heroes when activated, and with Trap Master buffing the damage and durability of these traps, you transform your defenses into deadly surprises that quickly whittle down hero health. This combo makes heroes think twice before stepping into your dungeon halls. Players often underestimate how effective trap damage can be when enhanced properly, so these cards catch many off guard.
The perfect time to unleash this combo is when you foresee multiple heroes rushing your dungeon at once. The amplified trap damage helps clear the field, softening up heroes for your other damaging rooms to finish off. It shifts the game in your favor by turning defense into an aggressive offense.
Shadow Assassin and Vampiric Blade
Shadow Assassin’s special allows you to steal a hero’s soul if they fail to resist their charm, while Vampiric Blade helps you regain dungeon health by draining damage from heroes.
Shadow Assassin offers sneaky strike capability that can bypass bulky hero defenses, especially if you’ve set up charm-weakening effects elsewhere in your dungeon. Vampiric Blade makes sure you can sustain the damage your other rooms might be taking by converting damage dealt into health for your dungeon. This perfectly suits aggressive players who want to keep momentum without losing ground.
You’re reclaiming your health, making it a solid strategy to keep your dungeon standing longer while whittling down opponents. If you love hitting hard and fast while playing smart, this pair is a winner.
Soul Stealer and Cursed Idol
The Soul Stealer card lets you grab additional souls from heroes you defeat, and Cursed Idol amplifies soul rewards even further when heroes fall to curse-based damage. Combine them, and your soul count skyrockets faster than rivals can keep up with.
This combo works best when you focus on curse damage in your dungeon build. The synergy lets you stack soul bonuses, which lets you play strategic moves with greater frequency. Cursed effects paired with Soul Stealer turn hero deaths into a goldmine, better than simply waiting for regular room damage.
If you can sustain the curse damage, the soul rewards make you a much bigger threat, forcing other players to change their tactics just to keep up.
Arcane Library and Spellbreake
The Arcane Library card is excellent for controlling spells and magical effects, but when combined with Spellbreaker, it becomes a dynamic duo that cancels out pesky hero tactics.
Arcane Library grants bonuses that nullify magic-used hero abilities, and Spellbreaker extends that control by directly shutting down special powers before heroes can activate them. Together, they make it incredibly difficult for heroes to pull off tricky moves or leverage their unique skills successfully, keeping the battle on your terms.
This combo is perfect for players who find themselves facing opponents with heavy magical hero decks or pesky spells. By wiping out spell effects early, you maintain control over your dungeon and minimize surprises that could derail your strategy.
Rampaging Ogre and Boulder Trap
Rampaging Ogre delivers solid damage while also intimidating heroes, and Boulder Trap packs a punch that can cripple anyone unlucky enough to fall into it.
This pairing hits hard and fast and is especially effective when paired with other damage boosters. Rampaging Ogre’s raw strength plus the Boulder Trap’s explosive damage make passing through your dungeon a risky business for heroes. They’ll either have to take heavy damage or think twice about entering.
If you enjoy a no-nonsense approach to crushing your enemies, this combo gets the job done while making your dungeon a hazardous place. Many players overlook purely power-based combos because they seem straightforward, but their efficiency can be deadly when timed right.
Enchanted Armor and Vampire’s Kiss
Enchanted Armor reduces the damage your rooms take before you unleash a counterattack. Pair this with Vampire’s Kiss, which heals your dungeon with each successful attack, and you’ve got a strong, resilient combo.
This combo creates a defense-healing loop, allowing your dungeon to outlast the heroes as they struggle to chip away at your health. Enchanted Armor takes the edge off hero damage, buying you time, while Vampire’s Kiss replenishes the health lost during battles. This delay and recovery system lets you withstand even aggressive hero rushes.
You ensure your dungeon’s survival through careful management of defense and healing. It’s particularly useful in longer games where attrition plays a large role, giving you the upper hand by simply staying alive longer than others.
