Recommended Minis Setup

Go For a Siege Deck with Melee Minis

Siege with Melee Deck Build
Sneed	Earth Elemental	Ghoul	S.A.F.E. Pilot
	Prowler	Gnoll Brute	Gryphon Rider

This deck focuses on Siege units because the Dreadnaught is weak against Siege damage. With that, it would be good to have at least 2 strong Siege Minis, like Sneed and Earth Elemental in your deck.

Additionally, you will want to have at lleast 2 strong Melee Minis to support your siege units, such as Gnoll Brute, Prowler, or Ghoul since the Dreadnaught's cannons can punish units with low health.

How to Beat Heroic Dreadnaught

Below are the following guides to help you complete the Heroic Campaign Map of The Dreadnaught.

1. The Dreadnaught Now Has Two Cannon Markers
2. Send Out Minis Away From The Cannon Markers
3. Overwhelm the Left Lane With Minis

The Dreadnaught Now Has Two Cannon Markers

For this Heroic version of The Dreadnaught, the boss will now have two cannon markers moving around the map. This means that The Dreadnaught can now fire its cannonballs at two separate targets in different locations.

Send Out Minis Away From The Cannon Markers

One way to avoid cannon fire is to send out Minis toward strategic locations where you could avoid the roaming markers circling the area. Make use of the blue arrows on the map to direct where your Minis can avoid the markers.

You could also wait out the cannon markers as it slowly moves away from your dispatch locations. After the markers have passed, begin sending out Minis to gain control of the battle.

Overwhelm the Left Lane With Minis

It is recommended that you overwhelm The Dreadnaught by sending out Minis on the left lane, which can help you claim the meeting stone along the path and give you the shortest distance possible to reach the boss.

How to Beat Dreadnaught

Below are the following guides to help you complete the Campaign Map of The Dreadnaught.

1. Avoid the Cannon's Marker
2. Take the Guard Tower and the Meeting Stone
3. Put Pressure on the Dreadnaught

Avoid the Cannon's Marker

One thing you need to keep in mind is what lane the cannon marker is at. Try to avoid the marker as much as you can by placing your Minis on the lane it is not aiming at. The marker has a slow and predictable path that circles around the map, so take the time to study its pattern as you battle.

You can also redirect your units to a different lane by utilizing the blue arrows on the ground. Change the direction of your Minis by clicking on the arrows before they get to it.

Take the Guard Tower and the Meeting Stone

It is important you take the Guard Tower and Meeting Stone in the middle of the map since it will let you avoid the cannons and reach the Dreadnaught faster. Send in your Siege and Damage Minis on the right lane, and make sure the blue arrow is pointing to the right. For the left lane, you can send in a Tank, a damage dealer, and a Kobold to mine the ore veins along the way.

Note that it will be difficult controlling the Guard Tower since you will have to deal with the tower, enemies, and the cannons while your units stand still. Alternatively, you can ignore the tower and send most of your units to the left side.

Put Pressure on the Dreadnaught

Once you have taken the Meeting Stone, start sending your units on the stone and utilize the blue arrow to avoid the cannon's marker. Your Minis will be able to put pressure on the Dreadnaught and its enemy units while you take the Guard Tower.

Also, ensure that you summon at least one Siege Mini with your units since the Dreadnaught is weak against Siege damage. The enemies will have a difficult time dealing with you once you start attacking from these points.

The Dreadnaught Map Layout

Westfall 2-5 has two exit lanes from your base, but will have 3 lanes to try and attack Dreadnaught. With only a singular Enemy Tower and one Meeting Stone, your biggest challenge is to avoid the cannon that Dreadnaught uses over the entire field.
