Dealing with 4 attack as Priest

Dealing with 4 attack as Priest - Man in White Robe Holding Baby in Yellow and White Dress

I have been playing the Priest hero for some time now, and I try to analyse most of the games played. But one thing that I struggle with in a lot of games, is 4 attack minions on the enemy side of the board.

The Priest has a lot of control cards, such and the Shadow Word cards. But none for handling 4 attack minions. This also counts for the card Shadow Madness.

How can I as a Priest, effectively handle enemy minions with an attack of 4?



Best Answer

How can a Priest deal with 4-attack minions? The same way everyone else does.

Priests are unique in that they have special removal options for creatures of power 3 or less, and power 5 or greater, but that doesn't mean you don't have the same sorts of options others do.

Mainly, direct damage, offensive creatures, and defensive creatures.

Priest have access to excellent direct damage, including Holy Smite, Holy Nova, and Holy Fire. Shadowform is an option too.

You can also use all sorts of creatures for enemy minion removal. Charge minions are great for this, as are minions with high toughness and/or taunt, as you can continually heal and buff them with your hero power, Divine Spirit, and Power Word: Shield.
