Tips[edit | edit source]
- The player starts with three Luminous Candles in hand.
- The most optimal strategy is survival and controlling the board. The quick victory even with heavy deck and Boots of Haste is unlikely because of endless 5/5 minions and lot of targeted and AoE removals.
- Try to keep a valuable minions like Wax Rager in hand until the boss will use both Entombs and Mind Controls.
- Alternatively, having the Cloak of Invisibility will neutralise all targeted removals, allowing to play aggressively and win before its Darkspawns can overwhelm the player.

Lore[edit | edit source]
The Darkness may be intended to represent the Devouring Darkness.
This section uses content from the Warcraft Wiki.- Despite living underground, kobolds do not have keen nocturnal sight, and rely on candles to traverse the mines they call home. However, kobold legends also speak of a dark, devouring presence deep in the caverns of Highmountain, which is the reason that the kobolds fear the dark. The Bluewax of Candle Rock frequently mention that if a kobold's candle goes out, or if they lack a candle altogether, "the darkness" will "eat them". The Bluewax historian Kipp Brightwick tells how the Bluewax were once forced out of their home by a group of drogbar who claimed the cave as their own. However, the drogbar did not have candles, and so "the darkness" began to follow them, until it finally "swallowed them whole", allowing the kobolds — safe with their candles — to move back in. Additionally, a circle of six large candles can be found in the eastern part of Candle Rock. If an adventurer extinguishes the flames of all six candles, a large voidwraith called "Devouring Darkness" will appear and attack them.
