Description

An informal guide and playthrough using what I like to call the Faith Breaker strategy to beat Nowhere Prophet on Doomed difficulty.

The Faithful convoy is currently very weak and thus it is very difficult to win with it on Doomed. The main issues with the convoy lie in the convoy deck itself. The convoy perks are actually pretty decent. The issues with the convoy deck are:

1) Low strength statistics and the base perk makes this problem even worse (giving +1 health to blessed units instead of +1 strength)
2) Low tempo. Many of the convoy cards don't do anything immediate when played to answer the board. Playing a big Taunt unit might be a fine way to answer an aggressive board on lower difficulties, but on Doomed the enemy leader has access to much better removal. The Shielded units are nice since they can't be targeted by spot removal, but their low strength makes them ineffective against followers with higher stats. The Pilgrims, Battlefield Healer, and Protective Priest are all exceptions to this problem.
3) Lack of a win condition. Normally a control build would want to play some big expensive follower that does something amazing but The Faithful convoy does not really have anything like that. It just has a few mediocre 5-drops that will probably just die to removal. The Steward is a potential win condition but The Faithful doesn't really do very well on Doomed with The Tower (many of The Tower's cards don't help address the previous two points) and if The Steward dies you might just lose due to falling too far behind on board.

I have found The Breaker to be the best leader to address these issues. The Breaker's leader deck includes buffs, AoE removal, obstacles, and even some direct damage. This helps address issues 1 and 2. For the win condition you'll either have to hope you come across a good Legendary or Mythic card or that you get your hands on one or two copies of Juggernaut.

The Seer and The Echo are also good choices (though other convoys work a lot better if you're going to play Echo Control).

This video does indeed have some editing in it as I had an unfortunate run where I died at the first boss (despite playing fairly well, this happens a lot on Doomed as The Faithful is very weak. Sometimes you might even lose to a regular encounter on the first map!) so I cut that out since you're probably more interested in my second run where I made it all the way to the final boss (and won!)
