The Battle

For the Briar Patch ruleset, all monsters gets the thorns ability that allows doing damage back to the attacker when gets hit with a melee attack. The Equalizer followed the base health of Cornealus and the initial health of all other monsters got equal to this. For the Counterspell ruleset, all monsters have the magic reflect ability and both team has 1 magic attackers each and whenever these magic monsters will attack someone, the targeted monster will return the favor by returning the damage back to the magic attacker.

Possibilus the Wise offered +2 health, reach and trample abilities to all friendly monsters. Melee attack monsters with the reach ability may attack from the second position on the team and it was no use for the friendly team as I already chose a monster on the second position that has its built-in reach ability. The trample attack is only suited for melee attackers and I have chose 2 melee attackers. So, when a a melee monster hits and kills its target, it will perform another melee attack on the next monster on the enemy team and this suits with only Xenith Monk & Relenor Cleaver.

Alric Stormbringer offered +1 magic attack to only Ruler of the Seas as the enemy team chose only a single magic attacker.

Enemy teams Diemonshark started attacking first and Xenith Monk of friendly team lost 2 health and for the Briar Patch ruleset, the friendly monster did damage back to the attacker and the enemy monster lost 2 armor. Then Ruler of the Seas attacked Xenith Monk with 3 magic attack where the friendly monster lost 3 health and also the adjacent friendly monster Relenor Cleaver lost 2 health as well for blast ability of the enemy monster and both Relenor Cleaver & Xenith Monk returned the favor sending magic damages to the attacker using the magic reflect ability and the enemy monster lost total 3 health.

Now on behalf of the friendly team, Cornealus first attacked Diemonshark and the enemy monster lost 2 armor. Xenith Monk then gained +4 health using heal ability that restores a portion of the monster's health each round and attacked Diemonshark; the enemy monster lost 1 more armor and returned damage back to the friendly monster using thorns ability and the friendly monster lost 2 health. Then Nerissa Tridawn attacked and killed 3 health of Diemonshark and the enemy monster then returned the magic damage using magic reflect ability and the friendly monster lost 2 health.

Then Grenadier attacked Diemonshark and missed the attack; I don't understand why this missing happened. Relenor Cleaver attacked Diemonshark with a big melee but the enemy monster had only 1 armor to lose and in return, the friendly monster lost 2 armor for the Briar Patch ruleset. Then the last attack of the current round took place where Deeplurker attacked Xenith Monk where the friendly monster lost 3 health and the enemy monster lost 2 health as well for Briar Patch.

There was a new round where Diemonshark & Ruler of the Seas attacked Xenith Monk. After getting the hit, Xenith Monk and the adjacent monster Relenor Cleaver returned back the damage using thorns ability. And then Cornealus missed an attack on Diemonshark without giving me a proper reason. All other monsters kept attacking from their own places until Diemonshark of the enemy team died by the attack of Relenor Cleaver and the friendly monster was tempted with trample ability and killed 4 health of Sea Monster and after killing a target, the friendly monster got +1 to all stats for having bloodlust ability that gives +1 to all stats every time this monster defeats an opponent. And Sea Monster reached the first position then.

BTW, I forgot to say that Relenor Cleaver of enemy team can't attack until it comes to at least the second position.

Sea Monster & Deeplurker attacked and killed Xenith Monk of the friendly team and the friendly monster returned the damages using thorns ability and Relenor Cleaver reached the first position.

There was another round where Ruler of the Seas attacked Relenor Cleaver & Nerissa Tridawn using its magic attack and blast ability and the enemy monster took damage back for the Counterspell ruleset as well. Then after Cornealus attacked Sea Monster, now Relenor Cleaver & Nerissa Tridawn attacked and killed the enemy monster for good where Nerissa Tridawn got the kill and then Ruler of the Seas reached the first position and now Relenor Cleaver's attacking was activated after reaching the second position.

Getting the big damage from Relenor Cleaver and other enemy monsters, Relenor Cleaver of the friendly team died and then Ruler of the Seas of enemy team also died getting the returned magic damage and now Relenor Cleaver & Nerissa Tridawn reached the first positions.

Nerissa Tridawn got killed right after it reached the first position and then Cornealus became the last confidence of the friendly team although this monster can't attack from the first position but it can keep healing its health when the remaining friendly monster Grenadier can attack and kill the enemy monsters using 2 ranged attacks.

Now the game came to a sequence where Relenor Cleaver & Deeplurker kept attacking Cornealus with 4+3=7 melee attacks and Cornealus heals 4 health each round. Both enemy monsters were getting damage back for the Briar Patch ruleset and from behind, Grenadier kept attacking Relenor Cleaver with 2 ranged attacks.

At round 7, Cornealus got total 6 health after getting healed and then Relenor Cleaver attacked and killed 5 health of Cornealus and the enemy monster lost 2 health as well for the thorns damage ad now the enemy monster was left with 2 health only. Grenadier took the last shot and killed the last attacker of the enemy team and Furious Chicken reached the first position and got killed by Grenadier as well and the friendly team won the battle keeping 3 monsters alive.

If Grenadier missed the attack on Relenor Cleaver by any chance then the victory won't come to the friendly team.

NEXT TIME.
