This week yet another one hope you enjoy reading it.

Enrage is an nice ability and there is one unit that does not have enrage but when the What Doesn't Kill You ruleset is in place this unit would be directly number 1:

But is has no enrage by default so it of the table for this post 🤣

Increases stats 1.5x, rounded up

Note: Enrage cannot be removed by the dispel ability

The enrage units i own and there level:

This time it was easy this is an unit that is very often in my line ups and one of highest win percentage unit.

Strategy

High mana cap battle with Aim true so everybody will be hitting their target. Still speed does matter to determine who will be hitting first. I expect no magic play because of the amplify that is now easy countered by an reflection shield of the life team. Therefor my play will be with water and Diemonshark will be on the team.

Rulesets

Aim True:
Units cannot miss their target.

Up to Eleven:
All units will gain the amplify ability. Amplify will do +1 damage to all return damage like thorns magic reflect and retrun fire

The Lineup

Summoner

Card	Reason
	Love to play this summoner in combination with Coastal Sentry the everybody gets trample. So occasionally this gain the favor above Lux vega.

Monsters Lineup

#1	#2	#3	#4	#5	#6

Diemonshark (lvl 6)
Star of this week. Love the enrage ability on this unit when it is enraged it will do 5 damage and gets 6 speed. which normally makes it harder to hit, not in this case because of the aim true rule set.

Coastal Sentry (lvl 8)
Strong heavy hitters with double strike. With its piercing she will get trough the armor quickly of any opponent.

River Hellondale (lvl 3)
Buff all melee unit with +1 melee damage with the inspire ability. That mean another +1 when diemonshark is enraged.

Igor Darkspear (lvl 5)
Cheap filler with a nice health and decent hit point.

Torrent Fiend (lvl 3)
meat shield to protect Igor Darkspear from any blast damage.

Wave Brood (lvl 5)
Tank with taunt in the back. Needs to keep the heavy hitter in the front alive for at least some attacks.

Rounds

Start :

Lets analyze the battle lineup. Magic play is not what is expected with Alric Stormbringer when i start the game this was the most powerfull "affordable" summoner, not for mee at that time.
No there are many way to counter it.

But the +1 magic will hurt lucky the Wave brood has void so less damage is done. For the Diemonshark they will get around the armor but will trigger the enrage quicker.

Round 1:

First round is over still there are many heavy magic damage dealer left. I think i got this because also the +2 health of Possibilus the Wise makes it that the diemonshark has 12 health

Round 2:

One magic hit and Diemonshark is enraged. I must say I would have propably lost if my opponent had have brought one lever higher Djinn Oshannus with force field. Then my Coastal Sentry and Diemonshark would only have done 1 damage 🍀.
But Coastal Sentry kills one unit and gets an trample which strikes for another 5 damage with piercing

Round 3:

Coastal Sentry is on the role two more kills with two extra attack because of the trample of Possibilus the Wise.

Conclusion

Fun battle to watch and see how magic damage could trigger the enrage ability sooner.
Also must say there was some luck 🍀 involved while with an investment of 2.7$ on one level higher
Djinn Oshannus would have flipped the win over to my opponent.
