How To Defeat Gruff the Callous

 Boss Squad With 8 heroes this time there is no chaos hero so we can use Epic Octopus (Terror From Below) to prevent enemy heroes from attacking when they appear.

Since Terror only freezes the enemy hero for 1 turn, we need more Frost to freeze for 1 more turn and sets the enemy to 1 health. 

Previously, we could use skill 1 of the pirate warlord to destroy the other 1 health hero.

However, they recently fixed the Pirate's skill so that the enemy won't place the hero in the location of the lightning slot. I have to use Void Spirit to freeze for 1 more turn to get that bulding

so we need to use 1 hero dame all (could be Eostre, Vlad, Loath,..) but the dame at the start of the turn like that won't kill Flos. so we need 1 hero to dame all at the end of the turn and t choose building because it won't be silenced by triton.

because this warlord subtracts 120 atk at the end of the turn, so we need a hero with an increase in atk at the beginning of the turn like Arthur's building, Tinker's Tesla,...

To keep the enemy frozen I choose Vixen or Arthur, or Jörmun Grand,... however, with the attack reduction due to the enemy warlord's skill, we need Vixen to damage the warlord indirectly.

and that's why we need a hero that increases attack high for Vixen so we choose Justia that can both make enemies miss and increase Vixen's attack fairly quickly based on her health
