Notes[]
- With doubled Battlecries, The Lurker Below deals 6 damage to the initial target and 3 to all others. However if the initial target is mortally wounded after the first hit, the Battlecry will not trigger twice.
- If a neighbor of any minion that The Lurker Below kills is Dormant, it will ignore it and skip to the one next to it.
- The Lurker Below's Battlecry continues until it deals a non-lethal damage to a minion. Therefore it can switch directions if a minion that is killed by it summons a token after taking damage (
Dragon Egg or Bomb Wrangler). It also possible to set up a direction switch if minions that were mortally wounded by The Lurker Below, gained health afterwards (6 Tiny Knight of Evil with 3 health and a Howlfiend).
Strategy[]
The Lurker Below is nearly identical to 
Fire Elemental, trading the ability to deal face damage for potential to hit more enemy minions. It can provide a full clear against smaller boards like Treant Druid or Galakrond Warlock, and can be used alongside 
Heart of Vir'naal to significantly impact larger boards.
Lurker Below works as a good finisher for other board clears. It can often clean up anything left behind after a Lightning Storm or 
Lightning Breath.
