Co-op Builds

This build is a support build that needs a proper deck alongside it. It is a great option if your minis are low level and you cannot push through yourself: you can help defend the base and Towers, while your partner hopefully has a team that can take on Geddon itself.

If you are able to get a Gargoyle to a fairly high level (equal to Geddon or higher), you can use that instead of Chimaera to give this build a chance to also attack Geddon itself. If your Gargoyle is low level, it will be of no use anyway, and it is better to use minis that can do at least something.

Important Talents

Fae Blessing on Faerie Dragon enables you to give Resistant to your Chimaera, helping it to hopefully take some Towers.

Infectious Swipes on Harpies give them the damage they need to take out Fire Elementals.

Strategy

Use Chimaera and Faerie Dragon (for Resist on Chimaera) to attack Towers.

Use Dark Iron Miner to get gold.

Use Harpies and Banshee to defend.

Use Whelp Eggs and Dark Iron Miner to retake Towers before Geddon fully rebuilds them.

Watch it in action

This build is designed for the 8-9 o’clock ambush strategy. It can also be used with other Leaders, such as Rend.

Important Talents

Fae Blessing on Faerie Dragon enables you to give Resistant to your Chimaera and Gargoyle, helping them survive longer.

Corrosive Breath on Chimaera gives it the damage it needs to take out Towers effectively.

Forsaken Fury adds damage to your Gargoyle and Meat Wagon.

Strategy

Use Chimaera and Faerie Dragon (for Resist on Chimaera) to attack Towers.

Use Dark Iron Miner to get gold.

Ambush Geddon at 8-9 o’clock if you have good map control: at least the top two Towers, preferably something going on at the bottom right Tower as well. If you had a slow start, let Geddon do another lap and take Towers behind it.

Send a Gargoyle followed by Meat Wagon at Geddon. Keep Geddon in place with Unbound minis at phase transitions. Send another Gargoyle when a new phase begins.

Boss Strategy

Updated: April 2025

STRATEGY

Note: This is probably the hardest boss in Molten Core currently as it requires coordinating with your teammate to ensure you don't push too early.

  • The high-level strategy is that you want to capture as many Towers as you can and then coordinate a timed assault against Geddon.
  • You will want to take this fight slow, capturing most of the Towers and economy before pushing.
  • When you push into a new phase, Geddon will summon 2x fire elementals at each corner of the map. Having control of a Tower creates a first line of defence against this assault.
  • Once you have captured at least 3 Towers, try and save up 8-10 gold and then send a Gargoyle with Fae Blessing (Faerie Dragon) at Geddon as he pushes one of the sides.
  • Do not overcommit! One Gargoyle with Fae Blessing is enough. Geddon will clear all nearby units when he phases so you want to try and cycle to your next Gargoyle as soon as possible.
  • The easiest path to victory is to kill Geddon in a single push with 3x Gargoyles, each pushing one phase.
  • The encounter gets much harder with each phase, as large lava tornados will spawn and rotate around the map, making it very hard to control Towers.
  • This encounter is much easier if you control the economy and make sure your Dark Iron Miners are being dispatched consistently to farm the nodes.
  • If you are finding the above strategy too difficult, you might find that you need to play safe and wait until Overtime before really pushing Geddon down, especially if you are lower level.

Boss Strategy

Updated: April 2025

Note: If you don't have Malfurion, don't worry as this strategy can be done with any other Leader, though we'd recommend Charlga (with Cavernous Mists).

STRATEGY

  • These builds make use of the popular 'flyer' strategy which involves sending flying units en masse down the centre lane to try and avoid the Core Hound mechanics.
  • The giant Core Hound will charge to a lane whenever it detects ground units there. For that reason, we will be playing almost no ground units. If you do play Charlga for example, don't play her in the centre lane that you are pushing.
  • Defend your base with spells and flying units. If you can, try to drop the flying units in the centre lane so that they can push after they defend.
  • Use spells (Blizzard and/or Poly) to defend your push in the mid lane, Blizzard will usually be able to deal with the Firehammers and Pyromancers.
  • You can mine the right node with your kobold but be careful with your timing as it will cause the Core Hound to charge to the right side of the map if its not already there.
  • Use Quilboar to move the giant Core Hounds out of the way. For example if you are pushing mid lane with your flying units, drop the Quilboar on the left or right side to position either of the large Core Hounds there.
