Rounds
Start :
Analyze the battlefield: also an strong team. My opponent want me to attack the back and has placed an reflection shield with immunity next to it smart move.
Maybe my opponent has too few healing units, when my Uriel the Purifier hits it will hurt.
Lets view how it goes.
Round 1:
Did not see the snipe of the Silvershield Sheriff thas is placing his attack in the middle not nice with explosive weaponry.
Round 2:
My healing unit are helping a lot. No Units are dead yet. When Iziar is dead it will go faster.
Damn my Uriel the Purifier just took 2 armor down 😌.
Round 3:
One down no it will go fast. Focus fire on the front tank, no reflection shield this. my stronger unit will stay alive. My opponent has used its resurrection ability. I still got my resurrect ability only as it now seems to be it will not be trigger while my Adelade Brightwing is the first to die. But it will be healt somewhat.
Round 4:
Two more units died. Nice to see how important the placing of the reflection shield is.
Round 5:
What is just noticed in this round is the dispel of my Venari Crystalsmith removes the extra gained armor.
This round another two units died. one placed hit of Uriel the Purifier will take care of the Venator Kinjo
Round 6:
Victory!!
Conclusion
This demonstrates how important cleanse and immunity are for battle where the Noxious Fumes is in the mix. Also the placing of reflection shield is important.
