Minotaur's Labyrinth — guide

In short

Minotaur's Labyrinth is the dungeon where you farm Scrolls for the mastery tree — the single biggest power jump any champion gets. Masteries matter more than almost any gear set, which is why this place never stops being relevant. One caveat shapes everything: Scrolls only drop for champions who still have masteries locked.

Mechanics

• Tremor — an AoE hit on the whole team; against champions carrying Hex it lands for double damage.
• The second AoE spreads Hex onto three random champions. That Hex cannot be resisted, so stacking RES on your team does not stop it.
• Frenzy (passive) — he opens the fight with Frenzy and hits harder. When Frenzy expires he switches to Confusion and takes increased damage. When Confusion expires, Frenzy comes back.
• Those buffs and debuffs cannot be blocked or stripped by skills — you play around the cycle instead of removing it.
• Practical read: save your burst for the Confusion window and play defensively while Frenzy is up.

What your team needs

• Survivability first: roughly 30k HP and 2.5k DEF on everyone eating Tremor, plus a healer, shields or Lifesteal. That is comfy for stage 15; stage 20+ wants more.
• SPD: about 170+ for stage 15 clears, 200+ if you want fast 20–25 runs.
• ACC 150–200 only if your damage plan leans on Decrease DEF, Weaken or Poison.
• Decrease DEF and Weaken are your damage multipliers. Block Damage or Unkillable is the cleanest answer to a doubled Tremor.
• Cleanse and Block Debuffs help generally, but don't plan around removing Hex — you survive it rather than strip it.

Teams

• Starter: Kael (damage and poison), Stag Knight (Decrease DEF and ATK), Coldheart (single-target burst), Godseeker Aniri (heal and revive) + the champion you are levelling.
• Mid-game: Deacon Armstrong (SPD aura, Decrease DEF), Demytha (Block Damage and healing), Urogrim (poison chip damage), Vogoth (soaks the AoEs) + one trainee.
• Endgame: Acrizia and Gnut (pure single-target damage), Mithrala Lifebane (ACC aura, debuffs), Siphi the Lost Bride (heal and revive), Prince Kymar (cooldown reset) — consistent 20+ clears.

Common mistakes

• Farming with champions whose masteries are already maxed — no Scrolls drop and the energy is wasted.
• Levelling five champions at once instead of one student; the Scrolls get spread thin and nobody finishes.
• Glass-cannon damage dealers with no Lifesteal or healer — they get Hexed and die to the next Tremor.
• Jumping to stage 20+ before you can clear stage 15 quickly and safely.
• Spending 800 rubies on Scrolls while you already have a working farm.

Tips

• Stage 15 is the standard farm once you clear it in 1–2 minutes; higher stages only pay off while your clear speed holds.
• Run 4 built champions plus 1 trainee — that is the whole farming strategy.
• Sets: Lifesteal on damage dealers, Speed, Accuracy and Perception on debuffers, Toxic on poisoners, Relentless for damage, Stoneskin for survival.
• Finish masteries on your Clan Boss core first, everything else after.
• Full auto is fine here — the fight is a stat check, not a puzzle.
