The Ruleset
- Rulesets - Lost Magic & Target Practice
- Mana Cap - 27
- Active Elements -
Here's my starting lineup
Summoner: General Sloan
- With the ruleset and element pick that I got I sadly did not have many options for summoner picking
- The main things were low mana, only two elements and Lost Magic
- So in my case I went with life element and General Sloan as he was decently low mana and I could use some +1 range in my team
1st Position: Drybone Barbarian
- Drybone Barbarian was my main tanks for this battle
- Main reason I like Drybone Barbarian here a lot is his Enrage + Retaliate ability combo
- As my enemies have showed me Drybone Barbarian is actually really strong monster even tho I do not like him that much
- Enrage - +50% melee power and speed (rounded up) if not at full health
- Retaliate - 50% chance to counterattack successful melee attacks, even if defeated
2nd Position: Furious Chicken
- Furious Chicken was the last monster I picked for this team and the main reason was that I had 0 mana left and a single spot open
- Idea for him was simple as just to tank a single attack if it comes to him tanking
- Nothing really to say here other than why not play Furious Chicken he costs 0 mana if you have room for him of course
3rd Position: Uraeus
- Uraeus was my first Sneak monster in this team
- Uraeus is one of my favorite monsters in the whole game as he is neutral and you get great stats for a low mana
- Sneak - Targets the enemy unit in the last position
4th Position: Stitch Leech
- Next up in line is my second Sneak monster and he is even stronger than the first one
- For a low low mana of 3 you get amazing stats sadly his is a life monster and I really do not like playing life
- Sneak - Targets the enemy unit in the last position
5th Position: Venari Crystalsmith
- Venari Crystalsmith was my only healer for this team
- Even without my summoners buff Venari Crystalsmith is a great monster for what he costs he has great stats and the Tank Heal ability
- Hopefully a single heal could hold my Drybone Barbarian alive long enough for him to deal some real damage
- Tank Heal - Each round, restores 1/3 of max health (rounded down) to the allied unit in the first position
6th Position: Gallicus
- Gallicus was my backline tank
- Even tho he does not have a lot of hp he has the Taunt ability which forces enemies to attack him first and therefore hopefully allow him real damage dealers to put some damage down in the mean time
- Also paired with my summoners +1 ranged he is not the worst monster to play for 4 mana
- Taunt - All enemy Units target this Unit (if they are able to)
Starting board
- After seeing the starting board I was quite scared as his team was a lot higher level
- At least he picked totally useless summoner so that had gone my way but the future was not looking bright
- But my predictions could still be off by a mile so lets start the battle and have a look
Here's how the battle went
1st Round
- After first round my confidents raised again
- The round had gone so good for me I had managed to take down 3 enemy monsters while losing only my Taunt backline tank
- Also two of the three monster I took down were his damage dealers which meant he did lose a great portion of his damage
- But anything could still happen so lets keep watching
2nd Round
- 2nd Round was pointless for both of us I would say
- He lost 2 hp on his Fiendish Harpy and I lost my Furious Chicken
- Lets hope for the best and keep watching
3rd Round
- 3rd Round was big more me I had managed to take down his Fiendish Harpy and also damage his Luminous Eagle while losing only 1 armor on my Uraeus
- That round secured my a guaranteed victory
- Now I just hopefully needed to wait for the start of the last round and then face my victory
4th Round
- My Drybone Barbarian took down both of my enemies last standing monsters
- After his Luminous Eagle and Scavo Hireling had fallen I took the victory
- Battle Replay Link
Summary
- This battle was definitely heavily one sided but still fun to watch
- The strategy to take away from this battle is that Drybone Barbarian is actually strong as a rock
- Also double Sneak monsters absolutely destroy your enemies backlines if he is not prepared for it like I was
