Todays 26 mana battle was very interesting and I got the opportunity to play this battle with two easy rulesets where I scored a great victory in just two rounds. The game was finished very quickly because my monster selection and positioning worked perfectly on the battlefield.
I have now more wins in low mana battles as well. My win rate was higher in high mana battles but now I managed to make win probability higher in low mana as well.
In any low mana battle it is important that you first understand the ruleset properly and then select your monsters accordingly and positioning is also important.
If you do this your chances of winning will become much higher. When the mana limit is low every single point matters a lot and one bad pick can lose you the whole match.
Before moving toward the battle breakdown and my strategy first lets understand the rulesets what is explained in these rulesets and what strategy and monster combination I made according to them.
RULESET 1: WANDS OUT
This is a ruleset where you can only summon units with magic attacks. And what does this Wands Out ruleset do? you are not allowed to select any melee or range attacker. But if you have multi attacker then that will be your plus point.
According to this ruleset it is necessary for you to adapt this strategy. select all the strong magic attackers in your team and position them properly.
And remember if you have any multi attacker that includes melee and magic or ranged and magic attacks then it is a plus point for you because they will be able to do a double attack. So adding these strong magic attackers to your team is very important.
RULESET 2: BRUTE FORCE
This is a ruleset where units with the highest power attack first. And what does this Brute Force ruleset do? It changes the normal speed order and makes heavy attackers take their turns before weaker units.
According to this ruleset it is necessary to adopt a strategy where you bring monsters with high power to wipe out enemy units quickly.
Those monsters with high powers will attack first and will destory the key units of the enemy lineup.
MY STRATEGY AND MONSTERS SELECTION
Keeping these two rulesets in mind what strategy I adopt and which monsters did I select? First of all I selected my Archon with +1 magic ability. This means that all my allied monsters will get +1 magic power at the start of the battle.
Even though Brute Force determines attack order based on power extra speed is still very useful for dodges and secondary turn calculations.
On the front line I selected multi attacker monster which is a strong magic monster with solid health to work as my front tank. And also attacks with melee and magic power is the best selection according to these rulesets.
In the second position I selected Lunaki Howler which is a magic attacker with good health to give extra magic support from behind.
My first monster will keep on attacking and also absorb damage whereas my second monster will keep on attacking with magic power which bypasses any kind of armor.
ON THE BATTLEFIELD
When I looked at the enemy lineup on the battlefield it was also quite interesting. They had also selected some good monsters but was not good enough as compared to me. It was to be played a one sided battle and I was sure that I will win this battle.
The battle started with direct magic attacks coming from both sides. Because of the Wands Out ruleset there are was only magic hitting and every kind of armor was useless.
In Round 1 both sides made heavy magic hits. My tank dealt strong damage to enemy units and my 2nd monster keep on attacking from backside, same happening which was planned.
In Round 2 my team took complete control of the battle. The enemy front tank could not survive my magic attacks and fell quickly leaving their backline monster exposed.
At the end of Round 2 I got a very good victory. The main reason for this outcome was that I selected strong monsters and made a good combination that destroyed the enemy team in just two rounds.
What would your strategy be in this type of ruleset and which monsters would you give more preference to? Will be glad to see your answers in the comment section.
