Kuldath is by far the easiest of the Doom Tower bosses, for one simple reason – you can stop him from doing ANY of his abilities.

Unlike any other boss in the game, you can control Kuldath by provoking him which makes the fight a complete joke. All you need to do is bring in 1-2 provoke champions who can keep high uptime of the debuff.

If you’re unable to provoke Kuldath, he will hit incredibly hard and place hexes and HP burns on your team, which he can activate with his A2.

Things to avoid:

• Do not bring HP burn to this encounter, Kuldath will instantly remove any HP burn and replace them with a 15% Continuous heal buff.
• Unkillable, shields and Block Damage buffs are largely irrelevant in this encounter if you’re not provoking him, as if you have a Hex debuff, Kuldath will ignore all these buffs.
• If you cleanse Hex from an ally, the cleanser will receive a Hex debuff for 4 turns, so be careful with cleansing.
