Finally beat this brute!  Thanks for all the advice which helped me hone my decks.  It ended quite suddenly at the end of a Round.  The last Time counter was removed and I sacrificed all my healing allies to survive that last onslaught.  One team was at 49 Threat and all Heroes were badly damaged, but alive.  Very close and very exciting.  On to the next!  Cheers!

You certainly need to stop him attacking.  Anything that keeps him 'engaging' different players, will run the Time down more quickly.  'Mighty Prowess' will keep him damaged, without actually attacking him, but I can only think of 'Infighting' to make use of that damage.  Must think of other combos to stop the slow death.  I will experiment with 'Elrond' to double all healing, but he is costly.  The harder the Quest, the greater the pleasure when (if), I finally succeed.  Cheers!
