The below classes are listed purely for reference, and have no effect on the boss' use of the cards during the battle.

Strategy
Holding back your Stealthed 1-health minions (Patient Assassin and Spymistress) could be a mistake since Helka can just wipe them out using Whirlwind, so may as well have them attack ASAP.

The use of whirlwind may damage a gladiator Helka summons via "Fight's On" which actually protects them from taking 2 damage via Backstab.
