Hello there,first time poster here.
So, there have been a bunch of threads already with really helpful hero strategies, but not so much for Overlord players. Let's gather a few tips for prospective Overlords then.
What's good general advice?
How can Overlords counter certain heroes and hero combinations?
What cards are useful for which scenarios and against which groups?
How does strategy change depending on number of players?
For me this is after a particularly frustrating sessions of the third act I quest (Death on the Wing) and the interlude (The Shadow Vault), both of which I lost terribly.
My group is playing: Syndrael (Knight), Ashrian (Disciple), Tomble (Thief) and by the second or so scenario in the campaign I basically felt that I have no way of winning against that group as Overlord.
Every minion is hacked to bits without a chance of fighting back or (more important) really hinder progress and if I ever manage to get in some damage (when needed, such as in the Shadow Vault Interlude) it fails due to great defence and healing powers.
We haven't started the second act yet, so it might become harder for the heroes for all know, but right now I don't see how.
But I don't want to complain, I want to make the game more fun for the heroes (because, what's the point really of fighting an Overlord that doesn't even give you any real challenge) and for myself as well.
So let's hear some strategies!
