A real Zargon can attack any hero in reach, and not just the hero with the highest spot on the totem pole. So I guess I could see Fire being more useful in actual group play. There is a reason I survived FH and MotM with minimal potion use, and no deaths. Its definitely easy mode on the app.

Maybe if the app randomly targeted heroes equal distance away instead of by party order would be better. I know there is the “Monsters attack weak” option which introduces its own slew of issues, though its possible those have been fixed. Even that is predicable as far as who is going to get attacked in a situation, so that can be exploited too.


Good point, the Official App's Zargon is incredibly predictable (whether the "monsters attack weak" is ticked or not). That makes it easier for the hero side most of the time.

Making MOTM/FH, the most overly difficult official expansions in HQ history more winnable is a "win" for Avalon Hill, but certainly more boring. A human Zargon can make them more interesting.

I just completed the 3 solo quests in FH with Monk. No problem, although was on the app. And he was went in supplied with 3 healing potions.
Monk is useful against the dreaded Yeti, as he has the cancel damage skill, which protects him from yeti hug, giving him another chance to cause damage again before needing to run and switch to crossbow.

So I am hearing now that the Wandering Monk was planned for a Spanish release, but never actually came out? If so, that is sad news.

Correct, never existed the Spanish version of the monk, though listed in Hasbro reference list somewhere.

What a disappointment! I was checking the Hasbro Consumer Care page and if you switch to the Spanish language there is only one file listed: Rise of the Dread Moon. KnightFall can also be downloaded off of the Hasbro Pulse page as a PDF in Spanish (and other languages).

I guess it is still up to the fans to translate these for this language... (whether you are in Mexico, Peru, Chile, Columbia, Argentina, Spain, etc).

The companion app is somewhat helpful, but of course if you want the full quest booklet for the expansions and how to play them as Zargon, again, you are on your own once these expansions sell out (or never arrived in the first place).

And it's another reason why the resources of this website (and forums) are important for the fans.
