Magic is Special Kind of Attack
Magic has been favourite attacking type of many players on splinterlands, and here is some reason of it :
#1.Magic attack strike through health point instead hitting the armor, and it's applied to most monsters except those with void armor, or the ruleset that cause magic attack will hit armor. This mean magic damage is very effective especially against those monster with high physical defense that having high armor or shield ability.
#2.Magic damage won't miss even there is speed difference or the monster is having flying and evade ability. Yeah, this is another reason why magic is very effective way to damage your enemies. While speed and flying ability could pretty much ruin your battle with the missing chance, magic damage is true strike as long as there is phase ability that makes them having same miss effect with the physical attack.
#3.Can be done from apart or first position.
Yap, we knew that melee only attack from the front except the monster having other ability that allow them attacking from behind such as opportunity, reach, or sneak, and those range monster only able to attack from the back but now from the front (except with close range ability), magic monster can attack from anywhere ! This mean they are very effective to give damage from the start of the match till the end of the match ! Unlike those range that can't damage from the front.
When Magic Will Shine
Magic monster will shine even more on certain ruleset :
#1.Armored Up Ruleset
First is the armored up ruleset, because magic won't mind with those armor since they can strike through enemies health point, so magician will have advantage on this ruleset.
#2.Back to Basic Ruleset
Since ability is removed, melee monster can only damage from the front, and so the range monster can't attack from the front. On the other side, magician still able to attack from anywhere~ What a great way of attacking enemies
#3.Born Again
Did you know that after reborn, all armored will fully restored ? If you don't, now you know ! And once again, since magic will strike through health point, you can easily re-eliminate your enemies in one turn with magic.
#4.Fog of War
Just like the back to basic ruleset, since melee can't having extra ability to attack from the back, magic is best option.
#5.Keep Your Distance
Without melee monster, magic and range is left, and due to fact range can't damage from the front without close range ability, magic is still better option that can attack from anywhere
#6.Briar Patch, Fire n Regret, Wands Out
It's obvious that on the ruleset where other monster have their counter, magic will shine even brighter, especially on wands out because magic are the only option 🤣
#7.Melee Mayhem
Wait, but this ruleset is giving buff to the melee monster ! Yes, but since people mostly focus on melee monster and anticipating them with demoralize or shield ability, magic damage can be a secret weapon that suprise your enemies and effectively eliminate your enemies with those damage that strike through health point.
When They Are Not Effective
There is not much ruleset that against magic monsters, here are some of it :
#1.Counterspell
Just like it's name, on this ruleset, magic have their damage back will get 2 counter damage, and clearly magic have disadvantage
#2. Lost Magic, Up Close and Personal, Going the Distance
Simple reason, because you can't use them or they are disable.
#3.Weak Magic
Weak magic, cause the magic will have to hit armor first, just like physical damage, causing one of it's advantage is gone.
#4.Unprotected
Lst is unprotected, because with no armor, the other kind of damage (melee and range) can attack directly through enemies health point as well, and once again one of the magic advantage is gone.
