In today’s 32 mana battle there were three extremely hard rulesets which created quite a lot of confusion in this battle. Because this was a medium mana battle facing such rulesets becomes quite difficult.

But still accepting such a challenge, selecting our monsters accordingly and giving them the best positioning is a very great task. So let’s find out what happened in this battle and which three rulesets we saw.

This battle continued for about 7 rounds and every round had a different twist and interest. I selected my monsters according to the rulesets and the enemy units also selected their monsters.

When I saw my units and the enemy units on the battlefield.

It was quite confusing and I could not understand what was going to happen in this battle. Whether I will win or lose...

WHAT HAPPENED IN THE BATTLEFIELD

My monsters were also quite strong and the enemy units also made a very good monster selection. The mistake I made was that I placed my ranged attacker in the third position while I should have placed it in the fourth position and this was my biggest mistake.

In round one strong attacks continued from both sides. But as soon as we entered round two two of my units were eliminated while only one enemy unit was eliminated. On one side because of Eggceleration the powers continued to increase while on the other side because of Enrage the melee power was also increasing.

In round three another enemy monster was eliminated. Now the battle became three versus three. Two of my monsters remained one magic attacker and one ranged attacker while from the enemy side only one ranged attacker remained which was continuously attacking.

My ranged attacker however could not attack until the end and of course this was because of the wrong positioning. The battle continued in rounds three and four and as soon as round five came it again became a two VS two battle. One of my units was eliminated and one enemy unit was also eliminated.

In round seven only my ranged attacker survived which had six attack power. But unfortunately it could not attack and because of this I lost this battle. And of course this was because of my wrong positioning.

In this battle, the three hard rulesets were,

RULESET ONE: EGGCELERATION

In this ruleset all units whether they belong to the allied side or the enemy side will get a plus one increase in their stats at the end of every round.

Now the enemy units will become stronger at the end of every round and their power will continue to increase.

So according to this ruleset we have to adopt a strategy where we try to select monsters that already have strong power because of this ruleset those units will become even stronger and will perform better in the battle.

RULESET TWO: WHAT DOESN'T KILL YOU

According to this ruleset all units whether they belong to the allied side or the enemy side get the Enrage ability.

And what happens with the Enrage ability is that they get plus 50% melee power and speed if they are not at full health. This is also rounded up.

That means if you select a monster with melee power and it is not at full health its attack and speed will increase by 50%. So according to this ruleset melee power is given priority.

Therefore according to this ruleset we should adopt a strategy where we try to select as many melee attackers as possible so they can take full advantage of this ruleset.

RULESET THREE: JUNIOR VARSITY

According to this ruleset you can summon those units and Archons whose power is 6 and whose mana is 6 or less.

All mana monsters above this limit will be disabled and you will only be allowed to select monsters with 6 or less mana.

So according to this ruleset it is necessary to adopt a strategy where you select the strongest six or less mana monster cards in your deck and give them the correct positioning.

What was my strategy in this battle?

Because I had to consider the rulesets I selected an Archon and a monster with the minus one health ability so that the health of all enemy units could be reduced by one.

Then because the ruleset gave priority to melee attackers I selected the first two monsters as melee attackers. Then in the middle positions I placed a mixed combination of ranged and magic attackers.

Finally I selected a monster with the Backfire ability. It did not have any attack power but it had return damage. This means that if any monster hits it and misses that monster will also receive two physical damage.

My strategy was very good but only because of the positioning I lost this battle.
