The Wild Hogs is one of the possible seventh fights a player can run into. The fight is won when the Miniboss, Razor, is defeated.
Strategy
The battle with the Wild Hogs is delicate to navigate, as defeating the Hogs one by one causes the Hogs' and Warthogs' damage to multiply. For instance, defeating one of the initial three Hogs causes the other two and the Warthog to gain one Frenzy each, leading to them dealing more total damage than if the first Hog was not defeated at all. While it might seem like crowd control via effects like Barrage or Overburn is the answer, Razor turns the game on its head and is most cleanly defeated if none of the other enemies is defeated. Razor attacks often and deals decent damage, which will quickly grow out of control if the player cannot defeat it first or beat it down once its Frenzy count gets too high.
Anything with Barrage or Teeth is perfect for defeating multiple Hogs at once in the early waves of the fight. However, the deck must also have an answer to the Warthogs, as their health is very high and their Smackback punishes attackers, especially if they've gained Frenzy. Snow and Ink can neutralize Smackback, and Ink has the extra benefit of negating Wild to prevent the Warthogs from gaining Frenzy. However, Ink will also not prevent them from attacking normally, which can be dangerous if they had gained Frenzy before they were Inked.
Razor demands that the player focus primarily on damaging only it, as it appears with a vanguard of five other Hogs. Killing even a single Hog will make Razor and the remaining Hogs significantly stronger. Ink negates Razor's Wild ability and thus prevents it from gaining any Frenzy. Its Resist Snow makes it difficult to stall, although even a single turn gained from Snow might be the difference between a win and a loss. However, the other Hogs around it may prove inconvenient by destroying Clunkers and consuming stacks of Block, so each deck must weigh which path to victory is safer.
Notably, the fight with the Wild Hogs can be almost completely trivialized with consistently-applied Frost. Razor and the Hogs have very low attack, so Frost can completely negate their attacks regardless of how much Frenzy they have. Similarly, the Heartmist Station completely heals all damage dealt by the small Hogs and can buy a significant amount of time. Ink negates the Wild ability and prevents the Inked card from gaining Frenzy or granting Frenzy to its allies, which is particularly effective with B.I.N.K. Since a Rockhog always appears in the second wave of enemies, the Shade Wisp can make a copy that grants all allies Frenzy for 6 turns (as the copy will attack and die from the Summoned ability after this).
