Detailed Guide on How to Play Maiev - outlining my thought process on every turn (10.8k MMR)

Submitted 3 years, 9 months ago by

I put together a detailed guide of every decision I made while playing Maiev. This was at 10.8k MMR in Americas Server. Some of the key points:

  • Try to use your hero power as much as possible in the early game without being too picky, don't tier up on turn 2
  • In the mid game, use your hero power on economy targets (pirate that sells for 3 gold or pirate that reduces your hero power tier cost), buff targets (cards that will buff your board that you don't need right away) or for possible triples in the future that you don't need to buy right away.
  • The key to optimizing your hero power is planning ahead. Do you want to spend 3 gold now to strengthen your board or spend 1 gold to have it provide even better value in a future turn? Key considerations would be board state, your overall health and strength of the lobby, and whether or it helps you get a triple (do you want to discover a minion now or discover a higher tier minion later on?)
  • Don't focus too much on the +1/+1 aspect of your hero power, that's just an added bonus
