Strategy

The key mechanic in this fight is the Firesworn The subject of this article is part of theBlackrock Mountain adventure. Firesworn Set: Blackrock Mountain Type: Minion Health: 5 Abilities: Deathrattle Deathrattle: Deal 1 damage to the enemy hero for each Firesworn that died this hearthstone (Heroic) The subject of this article is part of theBlackrock Mountain adventure. Firesworn Set: Blackrock Mountain Type: Minion Health: 5 Abilities: Deathrattle Deathrattle: Deal 3 damage to the enemy hero for each Firesworn that died this hearthstone . At the start of each turn Hearthstone takes place in turns. Each turn gives a player the opportunity to act. At the end of each turn, play is passed back to the other player. A round describes one turn for each , Garr will use Magma Pulse The subject of this article is part of theBlackrock Mountain adventure. Magma Pulse Set: Blackrock Mountain Type: Hero Power Cost: 1 Hero PowerDeal 1 damage to all minions.See this card on Hearthpwn data page] Magma hearthstone , damaging all minions for 1 damage. Whenever a Firesworn dies, its Deathrattle will deal damage to you equal to the number of Firesworn which died that turn (3 times that figure on Heroic). This means it is important either to prevent the Firesworn Deathrattle from triggering, or at least cause them to trigger on separate turns. For instance, 5 Firesworn each dying on individual turns will cause only 5 damage (Heroic mode: 15 damage), while 5 Firesworn dying simultaneously on the same turn will cause 25 damage (Heroic mode: 75 damage). Note that in the case of multiple Firesworn which are killed on the same turn but do not die simultaneously, each will take into account the deaths of all other Firesworns to have died that turn. This makes it unwise to dispose of too many Firesworn in one turn.

Priest

A simple deck to beat Garr is a priest deck focused on preventing damage from the Firesworn The subject of this article is part of theBlackrock Mountain adventure. Firesworn Set: Blackrock Mountain Type: Minion Health: 5 Abilities: Deathrattle Deathrattle: Deal 1 damage to the enemy hero for each Firesworn that died this hearthstone (Heroic) The subject of this article is part of theBlackrock Mountain adventure. Firesworn Set: Blackrock Mountain Type: Minion Health: 5 Abilities: Deathrattle Deathrattle: Deal 3 damage to the enemy hero for each Firesworn that died this hearthstone . Key cards for this are Circle of Healing and Mass Dispel. Having at least one of these in your starting hand is a good start, especially Circle of Healing.

As well as preventing potentially fatal damage to the player, keeping all 7 Firesworn alive also prevents Garr from playing any more minions of his own. He appears to have no means or inclination to destroy his own minions, although Rockbiter Weapon Rockbiter Weapon Set: Basic Type: Spell Class: Shaman Cost: 2 Give a friendly character +3 Attack this turn.This would be real handy if your enemy is made of rock.See this card on Hearthpwn data page] hearthstone , Mark of the Wild Mark of the Wild Set: Basic Type: Spell Class: Druid Cost: 2 Abilities: Taunt Tags: Taunt-granting Give a minion Taunt and +2/+2. (+2 Attack/+2 Health)Not to be confused with Jim of the Wild.See this card hearthstone and Bloodlust Bloodlust Set: Basic Type: Spell Class: Shaman Cost: 5 Tags: Area of effect Give your minions +3 Attack this turn.blaarghghLLGHRHARAAHAHHH!!See this card on Hearthpwn data page] Bloodlust is a shaman spell card, from the Basic hearthstone can allow him to attack with the Firesworn. By healing the Firesworn the board is therefore kept full, preventing Garr from playing most of his cards, and if lucky this will even lead to him having a full hand, meaning all new cards will be burnt.

Cards which take advantage of the damage dealt are very effective for finishing the fight. Amani Berserker and Raging Worgen are two good examples. Grim Patron is also a good card to play here, but be wary that flooding the board with them will prevent you from playing other minions. Be aware though that Garr will use Rockbiter Weapon and/or Lava Shock Lava Shock Set: Blackrock Mountain Type: Spell Class: Shaman Rarity: Rare Cost: 2 Abilities: Deal damage Tags: Mana-related, Overload-related Deal 2 damage.Unlock your Overloaded Mana Crystals.Chocolate lava cake is shockingly delicious.See this card on Hearthpwn hearthstone if possible to remove such minions. Northshire Cleric can be very effective for massive early card draw in combination with Circle of Healing, as well as general synergy with friendly healing. Overdraw is usually not a concern, since if effective the priest will win the game long before fatigue sets in, so don`t be worried about burning a few cards. That said, a Silence such as Spellbreaker can be very useful for preventing the Cleric from causing dangerous overdraw.

The key tactic is to keep the Firesworn alive using Circle of Healing and/or other healing options. Since his hero power deals 1 damage per turn, the priest would need a Circle of Healing by turn 5, then another by turn 9. Lesser Heal cannot by itself keep all the Firesworn alive, although in combination with Power Word: Shield it can be somewhat effective. Healing is the ideal approach since the full board also stymies Garr`s play, however if it becomes impossible, Mass Dispel can be extremely effective in negating all Firesworn Deathrattle damage, and thus preventing the priest`s immediate death. The downside of this is that Garr will then begin to flood the board with other minions, as well as using Rock Out The subject of this article is part of theBlackrock Mountain adventure. Rock Out Set: Blackrock Mountain Type: Spell Cost: 3 Abilities: Overload, Summon Summon 3 Firesworn. Overload: (2)See this card on Hearthpwn data page] Rock hearthstone to summon more Firesworn. If possible, staggering the Firesworn deaths can also reduce damage if neither full survival nor silencing is possible.

If the priest can keep the Firesworn alive, while using heals to maintain a force of friendly minions, it is possible to chip away at Garr`s Health - or quickly decimate it using enrages like Amani Berserker - and defeat him after only a few rounds.

Blackrock Mountain

One of Ragnaros⃢₀ₙs lieutenants, Garr is a hulking elemental made of pure obsidian. With the help of his little Firesworn buddies, he can⃢₀ₙt wait to rock your world.

World of Warcraft

From Wowpedia:

Garr is a conglomerate lava elemental boss found in Molten Core "Have you heard the rumblings? The mountain stirs once more. Beneath its crags, cliffs and rocks, there s evil in its core. Fire made flesh! Dragon s breath! Teeth and claw and flame! Calling any heroes out hearthstone between Gehennas and Baron Geddon, and guarding the Rune of Blaz. He is a melee boss with 8 guards.
Garr is described as one of the lieutenants of Ragnaros who accompanied the Firelord into Azeroth during the War of the Three Hammers. He carried out the betrayal of Lord Thunderaan, the Prince of Air and otherwise referred to as the "Windseeker." During the Elemental Sundering, Ragnaros sought to consume Thunderaan, and did so by having his two lieutenants, Baron Geddon and Garr ambush him. Thunderaan, caught off guard, was utterly destroyed. Ragnaros almost completely consumed Thunderaan`s essence, and stored the rest within a talisman of elemental binding. Ragnaros cleaved this talisman into two equal pieces, to which he assigned Baron Geddon and Garr.
As one of the two chief lieutenants serving under Ragnaros, Garr plays a key role in the current success of the Firelord and his spreading influence. Garr, like Baron Geddon, holds half of Bindings of the Windseeker, which contains the remaining essence of Thunderaan, Prince of Air. Tales say that after centuries of partnership, Geddon became suspicious of Garr and felt the elemental sought both halves of the talisman. Thus, relations between the two powers are strained. Both Garr and Baron Geddon draw their considerable might from the blazing runes carved deep into the floor of Molten Core.
