The Horace Threat Recommended Strategies and Tips

Use Exploding Kegs to Take Out Multiple Enemies

There will exploding kegs scattered around the area. Blow these up when enemies are near them to deal great damage.

Fight on the Bridges

Use the bridges on the map to squeeze your enemies into a tight area. This leaves them vulnerable to powerful AoE abilities.

Bring Healing Potions

How to Beat the Gigas

Tips for Beating Gigas
Gigas Have Two Lives
Lure the Gigas to the Bridge
Spam Shield Wall
Use Shield Bash to Stop the Spinning Attack

Gigas Have Two Lives

The Gigas will have two lives, so once you deplete their first health bar, they'll cause a shockwave and charge it back up to full. Get some distance once you kill them to avoid getting pushed back and damaged.

Lure the Gigas to the Bridge

Lure both bosses to the nearby bridge to create a chokepoint for them. This lets you easily outmaneuver them and spam AoE abilities without fear of missing.

Spam Shield Wall

The Shield Wall is great for distracting the bosses since they'll continue attacking it while you can heal your units up or wait for abilities to go off cooldown. This is necessary to extend your survivability.

Use Shield Bash to Stop the Spinning Attack

Gigas will start charging up his ability when he pulls his battle axe back. Interrupt this with Shield Bash since the ability deals immense damage.
