One word of warning, don't let the Champion wander too far away from the ring
If you follow the Champion too far outside the ring the fight will end prematurely. This wasn’t a problem for me fighting the Alliance Valiants, but I did have this happen once fighting the Horde Valiants. With the Champions it seems to be even easier to get too far away from the ring and have the fight end prematurely. Don’t rely on the warning either. For me the event ended only a second or two after I got the warning, by which time it was too late to do anything about it.

If the Champion you are fighting does leave the ring, pull them back by walking backwards to the middle of the ring when you are melee-ing each other.

If you're as terrible as I am at jousting the champions, a surefire way to win is to just rely on the Thrust attack. Keep the champ close and just thrust away with your shields maxxed and you'll slowly whittle him down. The AI will occasionally try to distance itself from you, that's when you charge and close the gap before the champ can shield break/charge you. With this method, you'll never go below 3 shields unless you start doing riskier (but still pretty guaranteed) moves like shield breaking then immediately closing in (not charging) and thrusting again. The champ will be at 2 shields for about 10% of the fight while you'll be at max for the whole thing, thus assuring your eventual, slow victory. Totally unexciting, but after banging my head against the wall for 30 mins I just wanted to win.

Here is the best strat I know of;

When done correctly, each fight will last 45 seconds to 1 minute and you will have 75-85% health at the end.

1. Full shields. (duh)
2. Start fight BEHIND the Champion. This way when he runs out, he will be directly in front of you.
3. Charge.
4. At the end of the charge hold your right mouse button and tilt your camera so you come around the champion in a tight loop, all while spamming shield breaker. If done correctly you will have a small window which you can throw your lance before you come back into melee range directly in front of the champion. (Note: this is the hardest part to hold off correctly, just keep practicing to figure out the right distance.)

If the above steps are done correctly the champions will end up a 1 shield, and directly in front of you. From here on out, just use Thrust and wait for them to walk out again, repeating steps 2-4 when they do. If you can pull off the above steps correctly 2 times in a row or more, the enemy will be sitting with no shields for upwards of 10+ seconds per thrust chain.

Also remember to refresh your shields occasionally, as the Champion may never take down your shield themselves, and it will expire naturally. :P

NOTE: Sometimes the enemy will get off a Charge or Shield Breaker on you, or maybe even both. This is ok! Just refresh your shields, and keep to the above strat. There is no need to sacrifice the above strat to keep your shields max, but if you really must just walk beside the enemy until your are full. It will take some extra time, but you will be extremely safe.

An Alternative strategy I have found useful, is to get on the offensive:

1. Start the fight with 3 shields up.
2. Spam shield breaker as the champion runs away from you to start the fight, until you get one in.
3. Move in, thrust the Champion
4. Strafe sideways while turning at any angle until you are facing the champion, and charge, once you hit the enemy with the charge, you are able to quickly thrust him, then turn around quickly and hit shield breaker before moving back into melee range for 1-2 seconds
5. Repeat step 4
6. When the Champion moves out to charge, simply follow in melee range, thrusting him until he stops and continues attacking you.

Remember to never be refreshing your shields, as you will rarely be in melee range all it will do is trigger your global cooldown, exposing you for longer to the deadly shield breaker + charge.

If you correctly do this, the champion should never be hitting you with charge or shield breaker, and thus there will be no need to refresh shields.

Make sure your bags are not full or else you won't pick up any Mark of the Champions.

Kommentar von 273833

If you don't like using charge because of the way the camera moves around I have a very simple method I use against the champions and also the commanders in the quest at the wall.

1. Make sure you have all 3 shields up (Green shields circling you)
2. Challenge competitor
3. Cast Ranged Shield Breaker
4. RUN at the enemy (not charge) and spam melee attack
5. Switch spam melee attack (1) and shield (4). I simply put a finger on 1 and a finger on 4 and rock them back and forth
6. When the enemy turns to gather distance hit him with the range shield breaker and then RUN at him again.
7. Repeat steps 4-7 until enemy dead.

It is VERY important to keep 3 shields (green) up at all times. If you don't and the enemy has a higher shield rating then you you will loose. Pay attention to what's going on with your buff and if you have to gather distance to get your shields up...but remember, when you gain distance they will cast the shield breaker on you. The key is to stay in so close to the enemy that they can't use shield breaker on you, thus keeping your shields up.

Good luck and have fun!

Probably the worst Daily Quest of World of Warcraft ever.

Enjoy your mount occasionally bugging out and you being out of range to do your abilities. The only way to fix this is removing your Argent Lance and replacing it for another non-lance weapon; not even the Leave Vehicle button will work.

Being the victim of a instant shield-breaker to charge in 1 GCD is fun too.

Kommentar von kitten23kate

If you find that the arena is crowded with other aspiring champions, try challenging a faction that isn't yet being fought in the ring. Often times when there's a lot of people out there, you tend to run into other players, and it makes it easier to keep track of who you're fighting if you happen to get in the middle of a pile up :)

Good video showing how to do this!

Kommentar von Mechanical

You can do this quest while in a raid group.

Kommentar von dakoth

The key to doing this easily is to recognize the fact that Thrust (1) and your other abilities do not share the same GCD. What this means is you can basically Shield-breaker (2) or Charge (3) and instantly thrust afterwards, to increase your DPS output.

The second thing you have to know is that the NPC champions have 'modes'. There are 2 obvious ones; the first is what I call 'melee' mode. He's just basically going to try to hug you and keep spamming thrust on you. It's a very simple, but annoying mode, as getting out of melee range to toss a shield-breaker can be somewhat difficult at time. His thrusts will do minimal damage with 3 shields up, so ignore them. The second mode I call 'running away' mode. He's just trying to get out of melee range to get a charge or shield-breaker on you. The third mode you will hopefully not see much of, as it is what happens when you screw up.

The basic idea is that the NPC only updates his 'mode' every few seconds. Weaving in and out will prevent your opponent from entering his third mode (where he throws his shield-breaker or charges), as he will only do that if you are outside of his melee range. His choices when you are inside melee range is either to sit in 'melee' or 'running away' mode.

Your goal should be to hug him as much as possible, strafe away on every cooldown, and do 2-1 to whittle away his shields. If you lose a shield, you should stay in melee and do 4-1. If your opponent runs out of shields you should strafe away and do a 3-1 instead of a 2-1 for increased damage output; it's harder and riskier to pull off a 3-1 than a 2-1 so just do it when he's out of shields. It's very important that you DO NOT sit there outside melee range waiting for your shield-breaker or charge to land; Just use it and then instantly get back into melee range before it lands, to avoid letting him enter this third mode. If you do let him get away from you (surprising you with switching from 'melee' to 'running away' mode might do that), just try to get back to him as fast as possible. Use charge if you have it.

Good luck. I do this every day and finish the 4 champions with 80% left without ever having to heal my mount. Once you got the trick of it, it's very simple really.

Kommentar von 434689

remember this quest is simple if you follow the guides above. on the down side if you dont have a perfect connection then try doing this when the area is quiet as you will be destroyed by the npc's if you try to duel them with even 1 sec of lag.

also if you know your connection is gonna struggle start the duel from behind the npc then charge him try to shield brake him. keep your on shield up, melee the npc and have a mate Dps the npc while you keep in melee range (this technique takes a while but it makes the quest possible with lag

Believe it or not...

Both doing this quest and The Grand Melee I had a problem with my latency and I was so annoyed, that I just jumped a round cazily while pressing 1,2,3 and 4 at random. And that actually worked! So, for everyone who thinks you've got to have skills to do this quest, you don't. Just jumping around while you're pressing the keys wildly is a perfectly good strategy. Hasn't failed me once since I first tried it =)

Edit:
Note; make sure you run around so that the Valiant/Champion is always in the middle of the circle you create while jumping/running around.
Then you're bound to win no matter what.

Kommentar von 436634

Might be a silly quest, but can I gain rep while doing these quests with KotEB? I finished up with Stormwind and started up on Ironforge, but I'm thinking I could drop quest with IF and go to Nightfall instead to get KotEB to Exalted. Yes?

Kommentar von 366678

Here's the easiest way to do this...

1. Get your shields up to three (obviously)
2. Manuever your mount behind your chosen champion, just inside of the chat range you need to start the fight.
3. Refresh your shields right before you start the fight to make sure you have max time on them.
4. Right after you start the fight, BACK UP for just a half second. This will immediate put into shield breaker range - Hit 2.
5. Wait for the CD and Charge. If you did the above right, you will have the time to get off both attacks.
6. Do NOT jump and immediately move back towards the target after you connect with the charge, allow yourself to go a little bit wide so that your still in shieldbreaker range when the attack is off of cooldown.
7. Hit Shieldbreaker and then advance into melee (thrust) range.
8. If everything has gone right, your target will be at ZERO shields, and you'll most likely be at 2, or 3.
9. Hit thrust. Recharge Shields (even if at full, thrust is on a separate CD, so always recharge after an inital thrust. That way your shieldbreaker/charge will be off CD, when the champion tries to put distance between you two.
10. Continue to thrust until the champion moves away from you. Back up just a little.
11. By now, all your CDs should have refreshed.
- If he's at 2 or less shields, Charge. Swing wide slightly, and shieldbreak. Go back to step 9.
- If he's at 3, shieldbreak and close BEFORE he has a chance to shieldbreak or charge you. This will keep him at 2 or less shields through most of the fight and guarantee your win. Go back to step 9.

Rinse and repeat.

The key to winning is keep him at 2 or fewer shields, and to get your charge in while he's still moving away from you. This allows you to get damage on him without him doing the same to you. If you swing a little too wide after a charge, he may get in a charge on you, but it's generally easy to recover from and go on to win the fight. I think I've lost one joust since I started doing this. And I've even been able to recover from a bad start (usually when the camera goes kaflooey on you...) with this.

As others have mentioned, sometimes the champion will move out of the ring. Do NOT follow him too far. Sometimes, you'll have no choice but soak up a charge to get him back into the ring. Nothing is worse than to have your opponent almost down just to follow him too far out of the ring and automatically lose.

Kommentar von Vaerex

Champions have seemingly received a buff, recently. I find them(particularly Horde) much more difficult to defeat, the past two days or so. Don't think it's just me, either.

Kommentar von 443491

Im suprised this isnt mentioned here. but the champions are now to be defeated within 5 mins, otherwise you loose.

Kommentar von obiwaynekenobi

Something to keep in mind is that if you run out of the ring, there's a good chance that it will glitch and you will lose. Since the champions typically will run out of the ring, the best thing to do is not follow them (you may have to take a Charge+Shieldbreaker since the AI cheats and does both within 1 second of each other), and back up as you attack them to bring them away from the edges.

Kommentar von 242290

This quest is much easy then most think,

also, i've foudn a better "strategy" then any of those posted above,

simply, make a macro with the following script:

/cast Thrust
/cast Shield-Breaker
/cast Charge

all those free dont share a GCD ( although they do with the defand, which is weird)

after making that macro, place it in a quickslot which isnt on your normal primary one ( the one being replaced) and keybind it. (comment -keybind only tested with Bartender's keybind)

so, the fight can be like that - raise up your defand to 3 shields, and engage in fight with someone,

now, just spam the macro.
every time you charge turn around to your opanent, and keep spamming,

dont forget to refresh your defends, ofc.

if it doesnt work with this macro, jsut remember that you can spam hit 2+3 ( shield breaker + charge) when the opanent disengages, and when you're close enough jsut spam 1.

hope it help you guys!

Kommentar von settlestone

this is the first time i've actually done these quests heh. Gotta say, the start behind him thing is a great idea, thanks for throwing that out there :) I use it every joust now.

Kommentar von 1064378

This is much simpler than people are making it out to be.

1. Start the fight on top of the person you're challenging, facing the same direction.
2. As they run out, spam Shield Breaker.
3. When they're up close, alternate between Thrust and refreshing your shield (they do not share a cooldown).
4. Rinse and repeat.

Don't even bother charging. This strategy also avoids the problem of running out of the arena and having the fight reset.

Kommentar von Harai

You can start duel as normal and right click the champions to auto-attack them, it doesn't take more than 2 or 3 auto-attacks to defeat each and doesn't require anything fancy
