The Ruleset
- Rulesets - Four's a Crowd & Broken Arrows
- Mana Cap - 29
- Active Elements -
Here's my starting lineup
Summoner: Kelya Frendul
- With the ruleset and element pick that was available to me kind of forced me to play melee water
- Melee because the mana cap was a bit to low to craft a great magic team
- And water because Life is possible my worst element of them all
- So in my case I went with a Kelya Frendul as he was my only level 4 summoner in water and also I actually really like his +1 speed and +1 armor combo
1st Position: The Kraken
- The Kraken was my main tanks for this battle
- Kraken is possible my favorite monster I rent from others as I do not own any myself
- Main reason I like The Kraken here a lot is his Taunt ability
- Taunt - Draws the attacks of enemy units. Does not affect Reach, Scattershot, Wingbreak, or enemy units in the first position
2nd Position: Uraeus
- As The Kraken costed almost half of my total mana I needed to go cheap
- For that I had Uraeus who I really like just because how many stats you get for only 3 mana
- Sneak - Targets the enemy unit in the last position
3rd Position: Pelacor Bandit
- Next one was also a cheap Sneak monster called Pelacor Bandit
- Even tho Pelacor Bandit did not have any armor like Uraeus did Pelacor Bandit had the Flying ability which can turn the battle totally on to its head
- Sneak - Targets the enemy unit in the last position
- Flying - +25% chance to evade physical attacks. No effect if the attacker also has Flying. Immune to Earthquake
4th Position: Deeplurker
- For last but not least is a bit bigger boy than the last two were
- Deeplurker was acting as a backline tanker and also huge damage dealer for my team
- Opportunity - Targets the enemy unit with the least health
Starting board
- Already after seeing the starting board I was confident I would win because I had better tank and more total damage on my team + most of my damage was faster than my enemies
- 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 I had already taken down my enemies backline Uraeus
- The Kraken lost only 3 armor and 2 hp which meant that I was sitting in a very good place
- But anything could still happen so lets keep watching
2nd Round
- In the 2nd Round my Deeplurker decided to change targets and together with The Kraken they took down my enemies only tank
- At this point the battle was far over and if I managed to hit all of my attacks the battle should be over with the next round, lets see
3rd Round
- The battle was indeed to over yet as my Kraken managed to miss his attack leaving my enemy with 3 hp Pelacor Bandit
- Now I just needed to wait for the start of the next round and then face my victory as I was not going to miss again
4th Round
- It took me 1 attack to kill my enemies last standing monster
- After his Pelacor Bandit had fallen I took the victory

Summary
- This battle was definitely heavily one sided but still fun to watch
- This battle is a great example how useful a Taunt monsters can be as the battle could have had a totally different ending if his Sneak and Opportunity monsters were able to attack my backline
- So if you still have 0 Taunt monsters in your lineup make sure to buy or rent some
