TheWoWDBThis is the kind of character depth that we've always wanted to see in WoW. This quest was so simple and yet so good at immersing you in the story. Loved the references and the character reactions!

Winning the World Quest version of this quest on the Hardest difficulty awards an achievement.
Strategy is quite simple, rush your cleric and knight to the opponents tower. Preferably behind so to avoid the Cone attack.
After that spam the heal on cleric every turn, spam the AoE attack on the knight on every turn, and spam the cannon from your tower to the opponents on every turn.
If you are quick about switching, the tower should die pretty quickly. After that switch to opponents Knight who is probably on top of your cleric trying to kill it, and then last take their cleric out.Win. Im sure other strats work well too. GL took a few tries to get in the rhythm of switching, but super doable.
If you're stuck in the chair, you can right click your player frame and select leave to get off the chair.

Description
It's fine! We can catch you up on the rest of the rules later! Resolving combat is the most fun, anyway! You and Anduin can team up against me. Perhaps with the both of you together, you'll stand a chance! <Faerin laughs.>

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Crowdsourcing
Light's Gambit is an old and honored game. There's a reason so many Arathi play it! It can teach you a lot about strategy. And it can tell you a lot about your opponents. <Faerin suddenly deflates.> But we're still missing a few pieces that we need in order to play.
