Bonus Boss is a disambiguation


** The combination of a riding horse and the clockwork owl. You Roll 2 dice to move, and choose ANY space to land on, which is huge in a game that's normally so random. It allows you to cherrypick items and heal on semi-demand, due to being able to land on any space you like. It's even more broken when treasure rewards are on, as you can get the owl just from a quest as opposed to beating the [[BonusBoss dungeon lord.]]

** With the City expansion in play, the Alchemist becomes by far the most powerful character, able to easily gain gold by purchasing potions for one gold apiece and transmuting them to three gold apiece, and then instantly transform that into life or fate. The Bounty Hunter can also be a Game Breaker when paired with the Full Plate armor (at which point he has a fifty percent chance to automatically win any battle he loses), but that at least takes some doing. The most broken combo in the game, though, is the Scribe follower paired with any method of instantly replenishing spells (and there are many), effectively allowing a character to cast the same spell every turn. With spells like Time Lapse or Toadify in play, this pretty quickly decides the outcome of the game.

** In early editions of the standard version, the Prophetess is by far the most powerful character. Not only does she always have at least one spell, but she can draw on additional adventure card per space and discard one she doesn't want to encounter, usually allowing her to encounter only the cards that would benefit her. She was slightly nerfed in later editions.

** Any character that comes with innate range attack, rather than requiring an item to perform them. This allows a slow, yet safe war of attrition against other players, as they can't retaliate in any way, unless also capable of ranged attacks.

** The eagle lord from the Highland expansion can be considered this. While he's no pushover at 8 strength/craft, he's far weaker than the dungeon lord, and killing him by any means will grant you one of several items, AND free transport to anywhere in the main region. One of these items, Araknell, allows you to teleport anywhere in the same region. Combining the two, you can immediately move to the portal of power, open it, and then immediately teleport you to the crown, winning you the

Neither of these characters is generally considered top tier anymore, though the Alchemis is.


* GameBreaker: The Prophetess's ability to draw extra Adventure cards and discard one makes her easily the most powerful character in the game. The Monk's ability to add his Craft to his Strength in combat is also extremely powerful.
