Strategy[]
Drû-buri-Drû biggest threat to the players is his special ability which allows him to attack only heroes (ignoring allies). If he is defeated early on, the players can benefit from a willpower and defense bonus. The best way to defend against him is to either use heroes with 4 or more defense to defend; healing cards will help increase survivability. To defeat him, it is best to use either many 2-3 attack strength characters or with a few high attack characters.
