We will use Pelacor Arbalest in this week's Share Your Battle weekly challenge. We'll also check to see if it works well with the new Life Summoner, Ilthain.
Pelacor Arbalest
The Pelacor Arbalest is a ranged life monster's that deals huge amounts of damage, but has low health. So use this glass cannon with cautious.
Status
At level 1 it has Double Strike, so it means that i can give 4 damage each round, but using General Sloan as Summoner it goes up to 6 damage and that melts any tank without shield.
Combo Cards
| Card | Combo |
|---|---|
 | It's almost a must have in your team. It gives +1 damage to the Pelacor Arbalest making it an unstoppable damage dealer. |
 | The weakest point of Pelacor Arbalest is its Low Health, so with ShieldBearer pulling the aggro the archer is protected. |
 | Truthspeaker brings the shield that the ranged lacks to survive a longer. |
Favorable Rulesets
| Ruleset | Why |
|---|---|
 Close Range | As this rule enables monsters with ranged attacks to attack in the first possition, the Pelacor Arbalest and other ranged monster will be able to last more. |
 Equalizer | With all monsters at the same highest health, the small health monsters are good choices, because their weaknest vanishes. |
 Fog of War | If this ruleset shows up you can place your Pelacor Arbalest at the last position and then it'll deal damage until it goes all the way to the first position. |
Bad Rulesets
| Ruleset | Why |
|---|---|
 Earthquake | It's not a good idea to use low health monsters with this ruleset. So as Pelacor Arbalest has only 2 hearts don't use it. You can only use it if you have some sort of protect against Melee or if you use Brighton Bloom. |
 Equal Opportunity | Only use Pelacor Arbalest or other weak health monsters if you have other lower health monsters in your line up like a Furious Chicken or if you have a taunt tank monster like Shieldbearer. |
 Noxious Fumes | Same explanation as with Earthquake, but this time is a little worse because in this ruleset you cannot use Truthspeaker to protect against the damage, because you'll lose points at your health directly. |
What will be the impact of the new Summoner with Pelacor Arbalest?
Ilthain, the new Life Summoner from Riftwatchers gives +1 speed and Return Fire ability to your monsters. With this setup, it'll be a nice counter to ranged lineup and against summoners like Yodin Zaku or General Sloane. So if your enemy is using ranged with for example Pelacor Arbalest it'll kill himself from the return damage.
You can even use it with the Pelacor Arbalest in your team against another one of it. It'll be like fight fire with fire, but you'll be using protection ๐จโ๐.
Battle
As the ruleset was Even Stevens I choose even monsters.
- At the First Postion my choice was the Shieldbearer to be the tank, because its taunt would keep the Pelacor Arbalest safe from any Opportunity or Sneak Attacks.
- For the Second Position Venari was chosen to be the support and to tank a little bit if it goes to the first place.
- The team needed a damage dealer, and who was the best choice to go with General Sloan? You're right Pelacor Arbalest! That huge 6 damage is amazing.
- Furious Chicken was place at the Last Position as a way to protect the Pelacor Arbalest in case the tank dies.
I was lucky in this battle for killing the enemy tank first. Every card did was it was supposed to do and in the end only the archer at the first position lasted and that don't do damage. Victory!!!๐
I would've placed the chicken in the second position if I knew they would go with this mirror lineup, because that way the chicken could take one more hit giving time to the lineup finish the enemies.
