Introduction

I recently presented a battle showing the power of combining Magic Reflect with Amplify in Greengineer (2022-a). I still see little use of this type of strategy by players during my daily battles in the Gold league, perhaps because they are still adapting to the new cards from the Chaos Legion set.

The battle to be analyzed today used the same strategy with the Life Splinter and Little League ruleset active.

The strategy before the battle

The game had 19 MP available and there were two game rules active, Explosive Weaponry and Little League. My opponent's history was full of battles with a focus on magic attack and as there was little MP and Little League was active I couldn't counterattack with a tank that had Void, as I would still have to worry about the Blast present in all attacks.

Reflecting magic attack was an option, but as the Owster Rotwell I had at my disposal was at level 3 I couldn't use any monsters with Amplify or Silence. In Life Splinter I had 02 monsters with low MP cost that had the ability Magic Reflect, the Pelacor Conjurer and the Blinding Reflect, but the latter needed a Summoner level 04 to count on it. The only summoner at this level was Tyrus Paladium.

So, choosing Tyrus and putting Blinding Reflect and Pelacor Conjurer in the first two positions, it was necessary to include a monster with Silence to reduce the magic attack and another with Amplify. For the first task I counted on Crystal Werewolf in fourth position. For Amplify I chose Venari Spellsmith in fifth position. In the last position I put the Divine Healer to increase the durability of my front line and with the 1 MP remaining I used the Gargoya Scrapper in third position with its Void ability, which could hold part of the blasts of enemy attacks.

Once the team was selected, I just had to hope that my opponent would come with a lot of magic attack, which is what happened:

The battle

My opponent came with Kelp Initiate as a tank, 03 monsters with magic attack being Medusa in second position, Ice Pixie in fifth and Doctor Blight in last, Crustacean King in fourth position and Hardy Stonefish in second.

With Crustacean King's Fortify it would be difficult to destroy my opponent's rear before they obliterate my front line. If I tried to focus the attack on the tank, it would survive long enough for its mages to finish me off. What he didn't count on is that his high war power could be used against himself.

In the first round, my opponent's Medusa was left with 01 life after the 02 reflect she received back and Ice Pixie left the match as soon as she attacked. Hardy Stonefish was eliminated by the Blast of my team's magic attacks and Doctor Blight just didn't die with the reflect due to the 02 life he gained with the elimination of his allies.

In the second round Medusa eliminated my tank and then died. My allies with magic attack left the Crustacean King on the brink of death and Doctor Blight lost another 02 health after killing my Pelacor Conjurer.

In the third round the Crustacean King was eliminated. My Gargoya Scrapper held off Doctor Blight's attack but got poisoned.

At the beginning of the fourth round my Gargoya Scrapper went down due to poisoning. Doctor Blight went down with the blast of my allies' attack.

In the fifth round the last enemy monster was eliminated, granting me the victory.

If I had Summoner Lorna Shine at level 04 it would have been more useful in place of Tyrus. The Owster The Owster Rotwell level 04 would also do well in this match.

I hope you enjoyed seeing yet another way to combine Magic Reflect with Amplify, this time with the Little League rule active. If you want to follow the battle in detail, just go to Greengineer (2022-b).

Introdução

Recentemente apresentei uma batalha mostrando o poder da combinação de Magic Reflect com Amplify em Greengineer (2022-a). Ainda percebo pouco uso deste tipo de estratégia por parte dos jogadores durante minhas batalhas diárias na liga Ouro, talvez por ainda estarem se adaptando às novas cartas do set Chaos Legion.

A batalha a ser analisada hoje utilizou a mesma estratégia com o Splinter da Vida.

A estratégia antes da batalha

A partida tinha 19 de MP disponível e haviam duas regras de jogo ativas, Explosive Weaponry e Little League. Meu oponente estava com o histórico repleto de batalhas com foco em ataque mágico e como havia pouco MP e Little League estava ativo eu não poderia contra-atacar com um tanque que possuísse Void, pois ainda teria que me preocupar com o Blast presente em todos os ataques.

Refletir o ataque mágico era uma opção, mas como o Owster Rotwell que eu tinha à minha disposição estava no level 3 eu não poderia utilizar nenhum monstro com Amplify ou Silence. No Splinter da Vida eu possuía 02 monstros com baixo custo de MP que tinham a habilidade Magic Reflect, o Pelacor Conjurer e o Blinding Reflect, mas este último necessitava de um Summoner level 04 para contar com ela. O único summoner neste nível era o Tyrus Paladium.

Logo, escolhido o Tyrus e colocando o Blinding Reflect e o Pelacor Conjurer nas duas primeiras posições, faltava incluir um monstro com Silence para reduzir o ataque mágico e outro com Amplify. Para a primeira tarefa contei com o Crystal Werewolf na quarta posição. Para o Amplify escolhi o Venari Spellsmith na quinta posição. Na última posição coloquei a Divine Healer para aumentar a durabilidade da minha linha de frente e com o 1 de MP restante utilizei a Gargoya Scrapper na terceira posição com sua habilidade Void, que poderia segurar parte dos blasts dos ataques inimigos.

Uma vez selecionado o time restava torcer para que meu oponente viesse com bastante ataque mágico, que foi o que ocorreu:

A batalha

Meu oponente veio com Kelp Initiate como tanque, 03 monstros com ataque mágico sendo a Medusa na segunda posição, a Ice Pixie na quinta e o Doctor Blight na última, o Crustacean King na quarta posição e o Hardy Stonefish na segunda.

Com o Fortify do Crustacean King seria difícil destruir a retaguarda de meu oponente antes que o mesmo obliterasse minha linha de frente. Caso eu tentasse focar o ataque no tanque o mesmo sobreviveria o tempo necessário para que seus magos acabassem comigo. O que ele não contava é que seu alto poder bélico poderia ser utilizado contra ele mesmo.

No primeiro round a Medusa de meu oponente ficou com 01 de vida após os 02 reflect que recebeu de volta e a Ice Pixie saiu da partida logo que atacou. O Hardy Stonefish foi eliminado pelo Blast dos ataques mágicos de meu time e o Doctor Blight só não morreu com o reflect devido aos 02 de vida que ganhou com a eliminação de seus aliados.

No segundo round a Medusa eliminou meu tanque e morreu em seguida. Meus aliados com ataque mágico deixaram o Crustacean King à beira da morte e o Doctor Blight perdeu mais 02 de vida após matar meu Pelacor Conjurer.

No terceiro round o Crustacean King foi eliminado. Meu Gargoya Scrapper segurou o ataque do Doctor Blight porém ficou envenenado.

No início do quarto round meu Gargoya Scrapper caiu devido ao envenenamento. O Doctor Blight caiu com o blast do ataque de meus aliados.

No quinto round o último monstro inimigo foi eliminado, me garantindo a vitória.

Se eu tivesse a Summoner Lorna Shine no level 04 teria sido mais útil no lugar do Tyrus. O Owster O Owster Rotwell level 04 também se sairia bem nesta partida.

Espero que tenham gostado de ver mais uma forma de combinar o Magic Reflect com o Amplify, desta vez com a regra Little League ativa. Se quiserem acompanhar a batalha em detalhes é só ir em Greengineer (2022-b).
