Todays 41 mana battle was very interesting and the main reason for this is that this battle turned into a draw. Sometimes one side remained in a winning position and sometimes the other side remained in a winning position.
In the end something happened that because of a specific ruleset all the monsters were eliminated at the end of the round and the battle turned into a draw.
If this ruleset was not there I would have got a good win in this battle because at the end my three monsters were remaining while the enemy had only one monster remaining.
But because the Global Warming ruleset was there due to the Burning effect my three monsters and the enemys one monster were eliminated at the end of the round.
That is why it is very important to understand that in any battle the role of the ruleset is very important. If you select your monsters according to the ruleset then there is a higher possibility that you will win.
But if you ignore the ruleset and just focus on your monsters then your chances of winning become much lower. That is why understanding the ruleset is important in any battle.
In todays 41 mana battle we got to see three special and hard rulesets because of which we saw more restrictions. Lets learn about these three rulesets and discuss each one and we will also keep defining our strategy.
The first ruleset is Outsider. In this ruleset you are allowed to summon only one Wild unit. You cannot summon more than one Wild unit according to this ruleset.
So keeping this ruleset in mind it is necessary to apply the strategy that you should summon such a Wild unit in your deck which has good Health and overall powers. Because this was a medium mana battle having a good Tank was necessary and that too from a Wild unit. So I tried to summon my best Wild unit.
The second ruleset is Global Warming and this ruleset played a very important role in this battle. In fact the effect of this ruleset was so strong that it changed this winning battle of mine into a draw.
Let's understand this ruleset. Whenever you see the Global Warming ruleset understand that the Burning effect is applied to all units at the start of Round 2. The Burning effect has a 33 percent chance of spreading to an adjacent unit as well.
And the monster that gets the Burning effect will lose 2 Health at the end of every round.
Because of this whether it is an allied unit or an enemy unit all of them will have the Burning effect from the start of Round 2 and this will continue until the end of the round. This means that as soon as the round ends all the units that are still alive will lose 2 Health.
In the same way this will continue in every round.
So keeping this ruleset in mind it is necessary to adopt this strategy. First of all try to select monsters with high Health and high Armor. This will make the effect of Global Warming much lower because having high Health means your monsters will survive longer in the battle.
And if possible select such monsters that have the Cleanse ability because only Cleanse can remove the Burning effect.
The third ruleset is Healed Out. All units or Archons will use their abilities that restore Health.
For example if an Archon has an ability that gives the advantage of healing then according to this ruleset that ability will become useless. Similarly if any unit you have possesses a Heal ability then it becomes useless in this ruleset.
So keeping these three rulesets in mind you should apply a strategy in which you select monsters with high Health and high power and you should not select monsters that have the Heal ability.
It is better to focus on other special abilities that can work more perfectly in the battle.
Keeping these rulesets in mind I selected my Archon with the +1 Speed ability so that all of my allied units would get an increase of +1 Speed allowing them to attack faster and eliminate the enemy units as quickly as possible.
I selected a strong Tank monster in the frontline. In the second-line position I selected a monster with the Reach ability so that it could continue attacking even while staying in the second position.
In the middle position I selected ranged attackers. This means my middle-position monsters remained in a totally aggressive stance attacking from a distance.
And in my back position again I selected a melee attacker with the Opportunity ability as an attack monster.
Because the Global Warming ruleset was there I selected monsters with as much high Health as possible.
When I saw all the monsters on the battlefield I was quite satisfied because my monsters and my selection were quite good.
In Round 2 what happened was that one of my units was eliminated and one enemy unit the opponents unit was also eliminated.
Then in Round 3 if you look the victory was already with me. Three of my monsters survived while only one monster of the enemy unit was remaining.
If the Global Warming effect was not there I would have easily won this battle. But unfortunately because the Global Warming effect was there as soon as the minus 2 Health was applied all the monsters lost their Health.
All four monsters were eliminated in the same round and in this way the battle turned into a draw.
I would call my ranged attackers the favorite monsters of today's battle because due to their continuous attacks and because of the Burning and Global Warming ruleset the enemy monsters were eliminated very quickly.
What would your monster selection be in this type of ruleset and what strategy would you apply? will be glad to see your answers in the comment section.
