I’ll update this guide as I progress through the Heroic Temple of Orsis. So far, I have taken down Heroic Sun Raider Phaerix with a Priest deck.
Heroic Sun Raider Phaerix is pretty much brutal. He starts with Rod of the Sun 3/8 (instead of 0/5 in normal mode), and he has 30 Health + 15 Armor. Once you destroy the Rod of the Sun, and it is transfered to your side of the board, you won’t get immune (as you do in normal mode). So it is imperative for you to silence the Rod of the Sun as soon as possible whether it is on his side or in yours.
The deck seen to the right is Phaerix’s deck. I am missing 4 cards in his deck, but so far, these are the ones I have seen in my videos.
Phaerix is very likely to play Tol’vir Hoplite or Looming Presence within the first 3-4 turns; and likes to place Sunreaver Protector on the Rod of the Sun. One thing important to mention is that the Rod of the Sun is still 0/5. It simply has a aura buff of 3/3 while it is on Phaerix’s side of the board. If you silence it, it will transform back to 0/5 and of course lose the deathrattle.
He has two Arcanite Reapers and two Fiery War Axe. So make sure to have two Acidic Swarm Ooze in your deck to counter at least the Arcanite Reaper which deal 5 damage.
