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.

Blood call
