General notes:
- Only have 1 talent, with Jaina (I'm largely F2P...spent maybe $7 up to this point).
- No flying units but Jaina ranged, Shaman ranged, and spells covers this basis.
- I've completed this dungeon 5 times into Yellow difficulty (haven't reached Red yet).
- don't be discouraged if you fail. keep trying. this build does work and you'll just have to get the hang of it :)


Helpful Dungeon Aspects throughout various runs:
- Aegis of Recovery
- Elemental minis + dmg but vulnerable (applies to spells)
- Mini death Bloodlust to others

1st Boss:
- Pretty interesting tactic in this fight to remember...at a certain health point the enemy minions start fighting each other. This is heavily used to your advantage. Experiment with this.
- You can take some tower damage, judgement call. Remember you'll have limited resources initially. Spend wisely.
- Survive the inital push but primarily have your units pushing right lane. You need to get the right tower down.
- Using unbound to turn away Ogre Mage and Huntress is crucial. Time it right!
- Using unbound to tank Boss and/or enemies that spawn when you're fighting Boss is also crucial. Time it right!
- The best way to push to the Boss is exactly how you would in WoW >> Tank + Ranged dps + Ranged heals. In this build you can do that with the Footman and/or Quilboar with Jaina and Shaman behind.
- Use your spells to support. I used Nova liberally to either support Tanks or my backline.
- The use of S.A.F.E. is broad and you'll have to use your best judgement. Consider that it's a 3 cost and are you "trading" for a 3+ cost?

2nd Boss:
- Ignore the right tower
- Survive the initial push
- Careful with the Eye's exploding your units
- Plan your push toward Boss with a Tank, Healer, Jaina. Pending your resources run with a Tank + Jaina.
- NECESSARY - you must turn the Boss away with a minion. I have used Quilboar supported by Nova. This allows the Tanks + Support line to cut into the Boss and also handle enemy minions that spawn near boss.
- I've always saved Blizzard for wave clear. Only used on Boss when I knew it would kill it.

3rd Boss:
- There were times I was able to push mid lane only without a side boss support. There were times I utilized the right side boss to support. It was all dependent if I was able to kill the Healing Boss in my initial push.
- Must kill Healer Boss.
- You don't really got a lot of enemy minions in this map so it's largely focused on your pushes. If your small bosses die they'll head back down the lane to attack you, fyi.
- Initial Push >> Tanks in mid lane, Shaman behind, Jaina behind. Use Quilboar to face away enemy minions on your way >> Upon reaching Boss: pull out the Boss away from the Healer Boss if you can. If you're fortunate you can keep your Tank frontline up while you Unbound Quilboar and S.A.F.E. directly onto Healer Boss to kill it >> Once Healer Boss down wait on resources to push Boss down. You need Tanks + backline + spells. You will not down him in Healer Boss is alive.
- If you fail killing Healer Boss on initial push >> keep your forward mid tower alive >> Down the right mini boss >> pushing right line its urgent that you use Quilboar to face away the Ogre Mages. >> Once right lane is pushing you have to simultaneously push Mid Lane >> down Healer Boss using Unbound >> Kill Boss.
