Brawl (1).png

Pizza 1 is rank #1 once again. With me fighting on novice A/B fray. I have a total match of 6 with 1 opponent who fled a match. So for preparation, just like the usual rented all the Common up to epic A/B with a few legendary. Almost lost the battle link, luckily I found them using peakmonsters.

1st Match

Rule: Equalizer, Spreading Fury
Mana: 19
Splinters: Fire, Water, Life
Battle: Watch battle

Screen Shot 2022-01-31 at 7.48.25 PM.png

This time I go with Fire + Sneak build since they have a pretty low mana monsters which is definitely good for Equalizer Rule.

Monster	Reason
Malric Inferno	+ 1 Melee, which I've decided to go with Sneak
Cerberus	4 Mana tank with heal and decent spead
Goblin Shaman	Weaken Ability
Enchanted Pixie	Remaining 3 mana, put on #3 so that I can continue with sneak attacks
Kobold Miner	2 Mana Sneak
Orella Abadon	2 Mana Sneak at #5 so he can obtain enough bloodlust before tanking
Elven Cutthroat	Sneak #6 so he can some tank for sneak enemies

First impression - That heal + Rage could be a problem against high speed enemy. he lacks damage to kill my tank fast.
Battle Summary - I was able to kill his water elemental at first round. Luckily my sneak monsters did not miss against him. after kill him, this was an easy victory. His tank heal does not do anything since I was attacking at the back.
Result - WIN!!

Rule: Noxious Fumes, Close Range
Mana: 16
Splinters: Fire, Water, Light, Death, Dragon
Battle: Watch battle

Screen Shot 2022-01-31 at 7.57.11 PM.png

Monster	Reason
Alric Stormbringer	Wanted to use water for Water Elemental
Alva The Crusher	Shield + Decent HP for the poison
Enchanted Pixie	Remaining 3 mana which could dealt a good damage agains opponent for 1 round
Water Elemental	For heal at the back and Close Range rule

First impression - His line up was weird, don't know why he did not use all available mana. This is a free win
Summary - This battle obviously goes into my favor. After breaking the opponent's armor he easily died with the combined attacks of my monsters + Poison
Result - Bonus WIN!!

3rd Match

Rule: Weak Magic, Keep your distance
Mana: 23
Splinters: Fire, Death, Dragon
Battle: Watch battle

Screen Shot 2022-01-31 at 8.03.49 PM.png

With Keep your distance ruleset, I decided to go with Snipe monsters to make the opponents tank useless.

Splinter	Reason
Jarlax the Undead	With the exception of Selena Sky, All Summoner abilities are pretty useless in this ruleset so decided with Jarlax. Death monsters also has a good Snipe monsters compared to Fire
Undead Pries	Weaken ability, 2 mana only
Centaur	Snipe and I rather got this monster killed before my main damagers
Screaming Banshee	the only 1 decent with 3 mana, might not play a good role since I'm attacking using snipe
Twisted Jester	Snipe with decent speed and damage
Whistling Damon	One of my favorite, Snipe ability and main damager

First impression - Sneak will be effective and with speed advantage and Snipe, I could easily kill his damagers
Summary - Snipe ability was proven useful. At first round I was able to kill his 2 monsters. while my tank still alive. And with speed advantage, I was able to kill all his attackers at round 2 before they landed an attack.
Result - WIN!!

4th Match

Rule: Super Sneak, Taking Sides
Mana: 23
Splinters: Life, Dragon
Battle: Watch battle

With super sneak, to make sure that I can tank on both sides, I decided to go with 2 shields in front and back.
Screen Shot 2022-01-31 at 8.14.15 PM.png

Monster	Reason
Tyrus Paladium	+1 armor which should be good when dealing against sneak attacks. The only available summoner for me this time LOL
Silvershield Paladin	Shield ability for tanking the front
Silvershield Knight	Inspire Ability
Feral Spirit	High speed monster
Hugo Strongsword	Shield ability that will tank Sneak attackers

First impression - With his attacks focus on both side, I can kill his backline first before I receive a significant damage. Let's hope I won't miss too much.
Summary - Luckily, I only missed once against his Air Elemental and I managed to kill him at round 2. Using Feral spirit pays of compared to Cicatrice. After kill him, his damage was not enough to kill my monsters that has shield ability.
Result - WIN!! My strategy worked!!

5th Match

Rule: Equal Opportunity
Mana: 22
Splinters: Water, Earth, Dragon
Battle: Watch battle

Screen Shot 2022-01-31 at 8.25.25 PM.png

I decided to go with Magic this time, Hoping that I can easily kill the enemies while ignoring their armors.

Monster	Reason
Alric Stormbringer	+1 Magic
Spineback Turtle	4 mana tank with decent HP and armor
Cocatrice	Flying ability and Opportunity bait hoping they will miss
Magi Sphinx	Decent life with 2 Magic dmg
Mischievous Mermaid	2 Magic dmg with 4 speed
Medusa	1 Magic Damage

First impression - That +1 speed could be messed up my plan
Summary - My positioning messed up this time. at first round I've managed to kill his 2 low HP monsters. But after that, It get's hard to kill hydra with that heal, speed and 3 dmg. His hydra managed to kill all my monsters.
Result - LOSS - my only lost to the game.
