This is a very fun PvP deck to play. The idea is to have and keep a big Thalnos that keeps getting the attack speed buff from Bane from spells and just ONE level 12-13+ can pretty much solo a tower if it isn’t cleared fast enough, let alone 2 or 3 with tanks too. The highest I got Thalnos when nearly ignored was level 21 starting from 8. I will provide some insight and subs for talents and minis.

If you start with Abomination in hand and you haven’t subbed it out per below recommendations you want to lead with Abomination, otherwise Ghoul. Witch Doctor is good support and AOE damage/clear as well providing shields with the Spirit Ward talent.

The slot for Witch Doctor is flexible as you can move a few things between slots for the build. You can run an extra undead slot and run Cheat Death with the Vampirism talent as this will provide a heal for your minis as well as a way to keep them alive to finish a tower/fight with your enemy/finish the base such as a buffed Thalnos just turreting with Bane.

You can use Chain Lightning as a buff if not needed to clear, or you can use it to clear squads out very easily, it is a full counter to Whelp Eggs too.

Execute can be used with the Bloodlust talent or you can run the talent to reduce the cost of the next horde unit by 1 to gain synergy with Witch Doctor and Chain Lightning if you’re running Witch Doctor.

Another sub for the Witch Doctor slot would be Quilboar with Bristleback to tank more/reflect melee or Tunnel Vision for fast deploy.

Additionally if you run Quilboar as an extra tank you can always swap Abomination for Skeletons with Exhume talent to better cycle to Thalnos and other spells since Abomination is a heavy unit at 6.
