Dungeon Run Guide for Kobolds and Catacombs (2024)

Last updated on Dec 22, 2017 at 13:14by Kat41 comments

Dungeons Runs were introduced in the Kobolds and Catacombs adventure. Theycan be accessed through the Solo Adventures menu, and they are free to play,without any kind of limitation.

Dungeon Run Overview

In Dungeon Runs, you select the class you wish to play as and are provided with afixed, 10-card deck, and you will have to fight up to 8 bosses. There are nosecond chances, and if you die against a boss, you will have to start allover again. Defeating all 8 bosses completes the Dungeon Run.

The interesting aspect is that with each boss you defeat, you will havethe opportunity to add cards to your deck from the options the game providesyou with (much like you would choose cards for your Arena deck). Moreover,the bosses you face are not fixed, so you will never know who you will facenext.

On this page, we will list all the known information about Dungeon Runs,such as which bosses you might face at which point in a Dungeon Run, whatoptions you have for expanding your deck, and what rewards there are forcompleting Dungeon Runs.

Expanding Your Deck

When you defeat the first boss, you will get to choose a treasure toplace into your deck (treasures provide either a passive effect or simply apowerful card), and then you will also get to choose one of 3 sets of 3 cardseach. These sets, called buckets, are themed (some relying more onspells, others on minions, others on certain schools of damage, and so on).

From here on, after each boss you defeat in your Dungeon Run, you will getto choose another bucket, and you after every other boss (so after the third,fifth, and seventh) you will also get to choose another treasure.

Buckets

Below, we list all of the bucket themes that each class can be offered.Like with treasures, it does not seem that there is any significant patternto the groups of buckets you are offered, although you cannot be offered thesame bucket more than once at a time. Within each bucket, the actual cardsthat you will be offer differ wildly, being chosen from seemingly a largepool of potential cards. In other words, no two "Frost"-themed buckets willhave the same cards offered (or at least, it is unlikely that this willhappen). Finally, it is worth noting that it seems like choosing a bucketwill increase the chances that it will appear again as a choice in the future,thus allowing you to form a more cohesive theme.
