Introduction

I recently featured a battle where the combination of the Trample skill and the Stampede rule caused a battle to end in a single round in Greengineer (2022-a). When the Stampede rule is combined with Melee Mayhem, there is the possibility of combining more than one monster with the Trample ability, and it still has the advantage that these monsters are not in the first position, as they usually do not have defensive abilities such as Shield or Void. For today's battle I had 02 cards with the trample skill, one being the Disintegrator, which I already talked about in Greengineer (2022-b), and the other the Grund that illustrates the cover of this post.

Grund Lvl 06

Double Strike: Attacks twice per round.
Trample: If the target is killed with the attack, it attacks the monster in the next position.
Cripple: Reduces the target's maximum health by 1 per hit.

The Grund is one of the epic cards of the Set Chaos Legion and the Earth Splinter. It has high attack power and a lot of HP, but it costs 10 MP to put it on the battlefield.

The strategy before the battle

The battle had Stampede and Melee Mayhem rules active, 38 MP available, and only Life and Death Splinters were disabled.

To counter the game rules, I used the summoner Mylor Crownling, which provides Thorns to all allies. If my opponent didn't seek to take advantage of the rules, I put Lord Arianthus with Shield, Void and Magic Reflect as a tank and Queen Mycelia in fourth position with Amplify, Shield and Triage. In second position I put Grund with Double Strike and Trample and in fifth position Disintegrator with Demoralize and Trample. In third position I put Orc Sergeant with Inspire and in last position I put Doctor Blight with Camouflage, Affliction, Poison and Scavenger.

My goal was to try to activate the Trample ability with one of my 02 monsters to quickly destroy the enemy front line.

Once assembled the team was hoping that the enemy team didn't have a tank too fast to dodge the attacks of my monsters with Trample.

The battle

My opponent came with Summoner Delwyn Dragonscale combined with Water Splinter, with Lord Arianthus in first position with Shield, Void, Magic Reflect and Thorns, Dragon Jumper with Opportunity in second position, Coral Wraith in third position with Sneak, the Merdaali Guardian with Tank Heal and Repair in fourth position, Chaos Dragon with Scattershot, Blast and Blind in fifth position and Furious Chicken in last position.

Despite the Summoner, only 02 of my opponent's monsters benefited from the increased magic attack power. Lord Arianthus' passive damage didn't count on the Amplify buff and Merdaali Guardian's Repair would only be useful to Chaos Dragon.

In the first round the Disintegrator killed the enemy Lord Arianthus, activating the Trample ability and killing the Dragon Jumper, who had lost part of his life with Thorns, giving another attack in the sequence on Coral Wraith eliminating her from the match and activating the Trample one last time taking part of Merdaali Guardian's life. Doctor Blight eliminated Merdaali Guardian and Furious Chicken killed itself while attacking my Lord Arianthus.

In the second round, the Chaos Dragon was attacked by all the monsters on my team, being eliminated with Queen Mycelia's attack.

Once again a battle that ended quickly thanks to Stampede combined with Trample. I hope you enjoyed the game, to follow it in detail just click on the link in Greengineer (2022-c).

Introdução

Recentemente apresentei uma batalha em que a combinação da habilidade Trample com a regra Stampede fez com que uma batalha acabasse em um único round em Greengineer (2022-a). Quando a regra Stampede vem combinada com a Melee Mayhem há a possibilidade de combinar mais de um monstro com a habilidade Trample, e ainda tem a vantagem destes monstros não ficarem na primeira posição, pois geralmente não contam com habilidades defensivas como Shield ou Void. Para a batalha de hoje contei com 02 cartas com a habilidade trample, sendo uma o Disintegrator, do qual já falei a respeito em Greengineer (2022-b), e a outra o Grund que ilustra a capa deste post.

Grund Lvl 06

Double Strike: Ataca duas vezes por round.
Trample: Caso o alvo seja morto com o ataque, ataca o monstro da próxima posição.
Cripple: Reduz em 01 a vida máxima do alvo a cada acerto.

O Grund é uma das cartas épicas do do Set Chaos Legion e do Splinter da Terra. Ele possui alto poder de ataque e muito HP, mas há um custo de 10 MP para colocá-lo no campo de batalha.

A estratégia antes da batalha

A batalha tinha as regras Stampede e Melee Mayhem ativas, 38 de MP disponíveis e apenas os Splinters da Vida e da Morte estavam desabilitados.

Para contra-atacar as regras da partida eu utilizei o summoner Mylor Crownling, que fornece Thorns para todos os aliados. Caso meu oponente não buscasse se aproveitar das regras eu coloquei o Lord Arianthus com Shield, Void e Magic Reflect como tanque e a Queen Mycelia na quarta posição com Amplify, Shield e Triage. Na segunda posição coloquei o Grund com Double Strike e Trample e na quinta posição o Disintegrator com Demoralize e Trample. Na terceira posição coloquei o Orc Sergeant com Inspire e na última posição coloquei o Doctor Blight com Camouflage, Affliction, Poison e Scavenger.

Meu objetivo era tentar ativar a habilidade Trample com um de meus 02 monstros para destruir de forma rápida a linha de frente inimiga.

Uma vez montado o time era torcer que a equipe inimiga não tivesse um tanque muito rápido a ponto de desviar das investidas de meus monstros com Trample.

A batalha

Meu oponente veio com o Summoner Delwyn Dragonscale combinado ao Splinter da Água, com o Lord Arianthus na primeira posição com Shield, Void, Magic Reflect e Thorns, o Dragon Jumper com Opportunity na segunda posição, a Coral Wraith na terceira posição com Sneak, a Merdaali Guardian com Tank Heal e Repair na quarta posição, o Chaos Dragon com Scattershot, Blast e Blind na quinta posição e a Furious Chicken na última posição.

Apesar do Summoner, apenas 02 monstros de meu oponente se beneficiavam do aumento do poder de ataque mágico. O dano passivo do Lord Arianthus não contava com o buff Amplify e o Repair da Merdaali Guardian só seria útil ao Chaos Dragon.

No primeiro round o Disintegrator matou o Lord Arianthus inimigo, ativando a habilidade Trample e matando o Dragon Jumper, que havia perdido parte da vida com o Thorns, dando outro ataque na sequência na Coral Wraith eliminando-a da partida e ativando o Trample uma última vez tirando parte da vida da Merdaali Guardian. O Doctor Blight eliminou a Merdaali Guardian e a Furious Chicken se matou ao atacar o meu Lord Arianthus.
