I believe what you encountered was the Fear Blow axe. What it means is that you need either a card to come out against the Fear Blow that will lose in the first round (but do enough damage, so that the second card out can defeat the Fear Blow card), or one that will take out the Fear Blow card in the first round. There are very few cards that can take 50% Base HP damage in the first round, take a shot from the Fear Blow card and survive. And then in the second round survive the Fear Blow again to avoid giving the Fear Blow card a free hit on your Hero.

The free hit on the hero would take you out instantly, meaning that you would only get 3 hits doing damage to the Boss (assuming the Fear Blow card is in the first position). At 17 energy per 3 hits that would take a lot of Gems to get passed this Boss. there is a second Boss with the Fear Blow as well. I am not sure if this is the one that comes out in the 3rd position or the one that comes out in the first position. The one that comes out in the first position is more difficult as other cards on your first deployment do not get to support the initial attack on the Fear Blow card.

The 2 cards that I have personally experienced winning by their lonesome after surviving 2 Fear Blows and defeating the Fear Blow card on their own was and Amazon with the Fairy Fire on a Fairy deck. And a Inquisitor with Lucky Dodge (passion deck)and an Odd HP total. It is really interesting to see the Inquisitor with 4945HP take the Fear Blow hit of 2472 leaving them with 2473 HPs left. Then Dodge the cards attack. Then in Round 2 it takes another 2472 HPs of damage from the Fear Blow again leaving it with 1HP left. Then I have seen it Dodge the attack again take out the Fear Blow card and be able to go to Round 3 with its 1 HP left. (This is a case where 50% + 50% does not equal 100% it equal 100% - 1 HP.)

These 2 Bosses with Fear Blow cards make it too expensive in my opinion for most players to try to get top 250. After all if you get to this position in the Event you are already guaranteed top 500. If it ends up costing you more than 500 Gems to get to Top 250 then it is a net loss. Not to mention all of the Gold Farming that you have given up using your energy rations on the Event.

Basically, you can always defeat a Boss, the real question how much energy (Gems) does it cost you to do so.

The absolute worst thing would be to spend 400 to 500 gems to try to get top 250 and end up at 260 or so. Meaning a net loss of 500 Gems.

Again just one F2P player's experience and opinion.
