Walkthrough Notes
Do not chase the boss early
Clear low-health adds first.
The Matriarch wins when add pressure makes your hand order collapse. Spend the first turns making the board predictable, even if boss health barely moves.
- Clear low-health adds first.
- Use Garlic or bounce for chip control.
- Do not spend Wild before the swarm stabilizes.
Burst after the second wave
Save one armor reset.
After the second wave is controlled, the boss usually exposes a clean window. Use saved gems and Wild to turn that window into lethal pressure.
- Save one armor reset.
- Spend gems only after adds fall.
- If damage is short, exit the route earlier next run.
