Favorable Rulesets

SymbolEffectDisintegrator?
image.pngNo modifications to the standard gameplay rules and mechanics.well it will work since there is no change
image.pngMelee and Ranged attacks always hit their target.Makes attacks not miss even if they have the dodge ability or flying or have higher speeds which make this card better since now it will not miss
image.pngAll Monsters have 2 Armor in addition to their normal Armor stat.Gains more armor allowing it to live longer
image.pngMonsters lose all abilities.Make it not good to use since its a melee unit used for the buffer better use a magic or range unit so that it can still attack in the back
image.pngRanged attack Monsters may not be used in battles.Not affected due to being a melee attacker
image.pngRanged attacks may be used in the first position in battles.Not affected due to being a melee attacker
image.pngNon-flying Monsters take 2 Melee damage at the end of each round.will only last 4 turns, since it not a flying unit, still good to use due to reduction in melee damage making it help the team stay alive longer
image.pngAll Monsters have the Opportunity ability.great it already reduces damage and now it can attack in the back
image.pngThe initial Health of all Monsters is equal to that of the Monster on either team with the highest base Health.pretty good since hp is not really ideal for a debuffer since u want it alive for as long as possible
image.pngOnly Monsters with even Mana costs may be used in battles.unusable due to being 7 mana which is odd
image.pngAll Monsters have the Blast ability.great if it was in front but still can be used to reduce the melee damage to reduce the blast damage of melee units

image.pngOnly Monsters with odd Mana costs may be used in battles.can be used
image.pngMonsters with the lowest Speed attack first and have the highest chance of evading attacks.great since it has 1 speed and a max of 2 speed at max level which mean more dodging for it
image.pngOnly Common and Rare Monsters may be used in battles.no problems as its a common monster
image.pngSummoners do not give any stat buffs or debuffs or grant/use any abilities.Not affected by the effect as it only affects summoners
image.pngAll Monsters have the Enrage ability.Will gain more speed and damage when damaged
image.pngThe Trample ability can trigger multiple times per attack if the trampled Monster is killed.gives trample ability to it so has a chance to attack again

Battle rules

image.png

SymbolRule Effect
image.pngNon-flying Monsters take 2 Melee damage at the end of each round.


Total Mana : 50
Usable elements : Fire, Water and Earth

Woo earthquake anything that has armor, can fly , has shield or can reduce damage are great to use.


Team Composition

Position: Summoner

Obsidian chosen as it was my only leveled earth summoner and its plus 1 magic damaged is gonna be used but in hind sight it made more sense to pick the starter earth summoner that minus 2 armor instead for a better time

Position: Star of the Challenge/Debuffer/Main Tank

Since only Fire, water and earth are usable most teams will be filled with melee units since there are not many flying units to use in these factions and both fire and water are melee heavy team, i hope that my bet pays off

placed in front to take the brunt of the blows since it will not last very long in the earthquake ruleset.


Position: Sub Tank

Mycelic Infantry with its shield even thou it cant fly its great to use since earthquake, only hits it for 1 damage and that melee units hit for half damage against it.

also has high damage at 3 with a good amount of health and armor.


Position: Melee Damage

Nectar queen hits real hard at 4 damage and can fly, super great in the earthquake ruleset since it flies and super high health at 10 making it a great sub sub tank


Position: Magic Damage

Regal Peryton the solo beneficiary of the summoner's ability on this team being the only magic unit that I field since its the only one that flies that I can use.

with its high speed value of 6, its be dodging those slow melee and range units while striking them hard with its 3 magic, one of the main damage dealer of the team


Position: Range Damage

Gargoya Devil a flying unit that hits hard with a value of 3 damage and has 1 point of armor allowing it to survive most lethal blows one time unless its double strike, weak to magic with its low health


Position: Melee Damage/ Immunity Unit

The final unit of the team, the tower griffin chosen since it can still attack while its all the way at the back and it flies so it can avoid the earthquake damage

Now on to the Battle

Round 1

1.gif

As predicted they are running a melee focus team and wow they have a buffer.

with the bonus armor gained from the summoner skill they managed to avoid a single turn of earthquake damage.

I could have suffer greater losses this round if not for the disintegrator reducing their damage but still lost a single unit this round to that hard hitting sand worm.


Round 2

2.gif

Their team hits really hard wiping out most of my units this round on the bright side their main tank the chain golem is almost dead and they are suffering from the earthquake damage while the units that fell from my team are mostly my non flying units.


Round 3

3.gif

had great luck this round, with my nectar queen dodging the attacks that tried to bring her down

that magic unit that i picked is doing its job and cleaning up with its buffed 3 damage.


Round 4 & Beyond

4.gif

By being flying units and luck of dodging, the team managed to wither down the opponent's team and once their final melee units falls, the range unit became unable to attack and under the assault of my team and earthquake it finally fell.


Strategy Talk

If they played some flying units the battle might have gone differently or maybe magic damage units since magic does not miss unless the target has phase, as flying gives an increased 25% dodge rate against non-flying units

Disintegrator played its part in reducing the damage done to the team which bought valuable time for the rest of the team since they had a buffer, it basically canceled out the buff effect.

Disintegrator, all in all a good card to use in most melee combat ruleset such as opportunity or super sneak and the one that allows melee units to attack from anywhere, in those cases use it since it will help in reducing damage done to your team.
