Basically, one of two things have to happen. Either you have to be able to withstand the 8000+ first strike of the Vandal Queen or you have to take out the Vandal Queen before the first strike. You will have to decide if either of those two things are possible with your Primary Deck and/or other cards that you may have.

Sometimes your cards artifacts events occur first and sometimes it is the Vandal Queen's first strike that takes place first.

The Combat simulator should help you in determining if you can defeat the Vandal Queen in this battle.

Things that have worked for me in this event on 77.


 * 1) I have a very strong Passion deck. The combat simulator said that I had a 1/7 chance of winning (a little over 14%) I thought it would be my Savage card's Chain Lightning that would do the trick. But that came out first once but the Vandal Queen's first strike went first and it was all over.
 * 2) Ultimately is was my Inquisitor's Lucky Dodge that worked, we Dodged the first strike and then were strong enough to beat the Vandal Queen on the real attack. Note: The Inquisitor came out twice before that but the Vandal Queen's first strike took out the Inquisitor the first 2 times. So, I do not know if the Lucky Dodge just failed those two times (65% chance of it working) or just the First Strike came before my artifact's affect. It actually took something like 20 tries for me to win, but sometimes the luck goes against you.
 * 3) My other 2 accounts are running the Fairy Deck as the primary deck. One is stronger than my Passion Deck and the other one is weaker. 18K range and 16K range. The Combat simulator for both said that there was 0% chance of winning. So, I swapped out my weakest card for a 4* Lizard Priest where at least I had a chance, but weakened my deck considerably. In one case the Lizard Priest came out first in the second try and it's First Strike came before the Vandal Queens first strike and I won. In the other case the Lizard Priest came out in the 3rd try and it's first strike came first and I won. Sometimes the luck is on your side, since I have heard that your first strike does not always occur before the Vandal Queens first strike.
 * 4) I have heard of other people winning with a very strong deck and a card with a 40% self protect shield. IE. they could actually take the 8000+ damage (reduced by 40%) and strike back.

So, there are several options, if you have a strong deck. Basically, you need to survive and then strike back or Strike first. But there is luck involved in whether you can strike first or not. If you can survive the first strike then you can survive it.

Good, luck!
