Hey guys! This is my first time joining the Weekly Challenge so I hope I can add value to your game.
Description: All monsters have the Scattershot ability.
Scattershot: Scattershot will attack any opponent monster at random and is not affected by the Taunt or the Camouflage ability.
This ruleset makes everything a little more random, since you can't predetermine where the attacks are going to go. Scattershot only affects ranged attack monsters, it won't affect melee monsters.
With these two factors I could imagine that my opponent was going to use General Sloan as his Summoner. I was worried about heavy hitting arrow attacks killing my backline, so I opted for Grandmaster Rathe adding that +1 armour to all my monsters, and also helping against possible magic attacks with the Void Armour ability. Adelade Brightwing is a must with Rathe in my opinion and also goes well with scattershot.
| Position | Stats | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Summoner | Extra Armour and Void Armour are a great extra defense to have against random attacks. - +1 Armadura y Void Armour son una gran defensa adicional para tener contra ataques aleatorios | |
| 1 | Great tank for low mana, also big armour really important with Brightwing. - Gran tanque por poco mana, además de una armadura grande realmente importante con Brightwing. | |
| 2 | I like a lot of armour when using Rathe and also the magic attack is 2 points. Dodge is also important for those key misses. - Me gusta tener mucha armadura cuando uso a Rathe y también el ataque mágico es de 2 puntos. La evasión también es importante para que puedan fallar ataques clave. | |
| 3 | Second key part to this strategy, Repair Armour added to the 2 magic attack is great. The bad part its that its very slow. - La segunda parte clave de esta estrategia es que la habilidad Reparar Armadura sumada al ataque mágico de 2 puntos es genial. La mala parte es que es muy lenta. | |
| 4 | Just in case Brightwing doesn't have time to repair the tanks armour. - En caso de que Brightwing no tenga tiempo para reparar la armadura del tanque. | |
| 5 | Risky choice but the double strike can cause a lot of harm. - Una elección arriesgada, pero el doble golpe puede causar mucho daño. | |
| 5 | Also a risky choice since the Camouflge ability doesn't come into play with Scattershot, but it can kill a monster every 2 turns with the damage it does. - También e suna opción arriesgada, pero puede llegar a matar a un monstruo enemigo cada 2 turnos con el daño que hace. |
I guessed correctly that my opponent was going to use General Sloan! I still had to manage to get lucky with the random attacks. None of my monsters took too many hits in a row making it favorable for Adelade to repair some armours here and there. At the later stages Crystalsmith also helped curing my tank a couple of times. It also helped that my opponent chose Elven Defender as his second monsters since it never came into combat.
Hope this strategy helps someone out there see that sometimes defense wins battles!
