Battle
ROUND 1
The opponent team chose the EARTH Splinter with Mylor Crowling summoner along with Flesh Golem, Furious Chicken, Magi of the Forest, Goblin Psychic, and Mitica Headhunter.
From the lineup of this battle, I can clearly see some winning chances from this lineup.
- Enemy team has a monster with Healing Ability, it will be nerfed by my Affliction Ability.
- Mitical Headhunter comes with pretty high speed, this monster will attack very slowly in the battle with a high chance of missing the target due to the Reverse Speed Rule.
Most of my team come with low speed, therefore I got a higher chance to attack at the beginning of the battle. Luckily that there were two magic attacks from the enemy team, our first tanker with Void Ability could easily endure most of those magic attackss. It was Grim Reaper who easily took down Flesh Golem. Followed by Undead Priest who killed instantly killed a Furious Chicken. Unfortunately, without armor, my Animated Corpse died at the end of Round1 from the Mitical Headhunter attack.
ROUND 2
With higher mobility from the lower speed of our team, Cyclops and Halfing Alchemist took down Magi of the Forest at the beginning of round 2. Followed by the attack from Grumpy Dwarf which took down Goblin Psychic. However, Goblin Psychic was killed by Thorns Ability of Mylor Crowling Summoner. Mitical Headhunter steped up as the last man on the enemy battlefield.
ROUND 3
Range monster without Closed Range Ability cannot do anything on the first position of the battlefield. Therefore Mitica Headhunter becomes a practice target of Cyclops. Cyclops finally secure a victory for the rest of the team
Well done team!
Questions and Answers:
1. Did my strategy work?
My strategy for this strategy worked great very well. The low-speed monster team proves to be useful in this Reverse Speed Rule battle. The combination of the ability of each monster helps the team in a positive way. Contessa L'ament summoner reduces the main attack from the enemy team; Mitical Headhunter was suffer directly from this debuff. Animated Corpse absorbed incoming magic attacks from Magi of the forest and Goblin Psychic. Halfling Alchemist ensures to reduce the enemy attack at the beginning of each round. Grim Reaper also ensures that the Healing Ability from the enemy team won't be used in this battle.
2. What will you try differently next time?
In higher mana battle, I might consider using Mimosa Nightshade as a summoner, since she comes with a better debuffed to the enemy team; minus 1 rage damage, give Affliction Ability to the enemy team and also provide Void Ability to our team which can absorb most of the enemy magic attack. This will ensure that both Magic and Range attacks from the enemy team will be weakened. Moreover, I can replace Grim Reaper out of the battlefield since every monster in the enemy team will be debuffed with Affliction Ability in the first place.
3. Do you like the ANIMATED CORPSE? Why or why not?
YES, I like ANIMATED CORPSE. Only 4 mana cost with most of the moderate status and higher-level ANIMATED CORPSE comes with Void Ability. He can be used in almost every situation, especially when an encounter with the Magic enemy team, his Void Ability will prove to be very useful against Magic Attacker. ANIMATED CORPSE is always my favorite choice as a first tanker when I have to play low mana DEATH Splinter.
