CAVE SLUGS a slow predator from life deck. They are dangerous creature that enemy should not allow them to stay in the battlefield for a long time. His scavenger ability combine with his high damage can sabotage the enemy strategy. Their aim is to slay the weakest;healer or high damage enemy with low health. Speed is their weakest which made them almost move at the end of each round, but also can me come an advantage in the Reverse Speed rule.
At higher level, they become more dangerous with scavenger ability which will make them tougher. Moreover, the slow ability which will provide a great benefit to the rest of the team to move faster.

Noxious Fumes can be a great problem for monster without Immunity ability. The low health monster can be quickly killed by these fumes. In order to survive the fumes, I normally consider these options.
1.Monster with Immunity.
2.High health monster
3.Monster with Cleanse ability to support the front line.
Spreading Fury makes front line monster becomes crazy and be empowered when damaged. I normally put tough tank on the first position to benefit from this rule.
Edition: BETA
Rarity: RARE
Element: LIFE
ATTACK: MELEE
ABILITIES: Shield; Magic Reflect at level 5
Silvershield Paladin was chosen as the front tanker from his Shield ability to benefit from the Spreading Fury rule. The longer he can stay in the front line the longer extra damage he will benefit from this rule.
Edition: REWARD
Rarity: COMMON
Element: LIFE
ATTACK: MEELEE
ABILITIES: Strengthen at level 1; Swiftness at level 6; Divine Shield at level 10
The key to victory of Noxious Fumes rule is to stay in the field as long as we can. Since their life will be deducted 2 helaths every turn, extra health was added to compensate these lost healths from the Strengthen ability. Baby unicorn is a great choice in Noxious Fumes rule, his low mana to play and moderate health benefit the rest of the team to stay longer in the filed for another turn. He was put as a second tanker since his only benefit in this battle was his Strengthen ability.
Edition: BETA
Rarity: COMMON
Element: LIFE
ATTACK: MEELEE
ABILITIES: Strengthen at level 1;
Divine Shield at level 2;
Immunity at level 3; Repair at level 4
Feral Spirit; the fastest cat spirit of the death. Its high speed combine with Sneak ability can cause a great damage to behind of the enemy line. High level Feral Spirit can quickly slain the enemy in a single kill(4 is the highest damage for highest level). It was chosen in this battle due to low mana to play,high speed and high damage. It was positioned before Cave Slugs to be their shield since Feral Spirit has lower damage.
Edition: UNTAMED
Rarity: LEGENDARY
Element: DRAGON
ATTACK: RANGE
ABILITIES: Strengthen at level 1;
Triage at level 2;
Rust at level 3; Repair at level 4
Scale Doctor was chose due to his Strengthen ability same as Unicorn. Compare to Baby Unicorn, he comes with higher health and one range damage with made him to attack from a far distance which can cause some minor damage to enemy tanker. He was positioned before Cave Slugs to be their shield; the same reason with Feral Spirit.

ABILITIES: Opportunity at level 1; Scavenger at level 6; Slow at level 10
Here come our monster of the day; Cave Slugs. Slowest but deadliest predator of the life deck. It was chosen in this battle due to its opportunity ability and its moderate health which will make hime stay for 2-3 turn in the Noxious Fumes rule. Most of low level monsters with Strengthen or Protect ability come with low health, it can be a one shot one kill if the weakest enemy don't have some shield. I tried to put Cave Slugs far from danger as far as possible but not in the lastest position to prevent them to be attacked from monster with Sneak ability.
Edition: PROMO
Rarity: RARE
Element: LIFE
ATTACK: MEELEE
ABILITIES: Cleanse at level 1; Swiftness at level 5
Normally, I prefer to use Herbalist due to his higher health and range damage, but the low mana capabilty limit me to use him. So Silvershield Bard was chosen from his Cleanse ability. Cleanse will clean the Noxious Fumes which will make our first tank don't suffer from this Noxious Fumes rule. After using his Cleanse ability, he won't have any more benefit to the rest of team, so he was put as the last line of defend to be a human shield from Sneak ability monster.
The opponent team chose the DEATH deck with Contessa L'ament summoner along with Haunted Spirit, The Gorlodon, Shadowy Presence, Darkest Mage, Furious Chicken and Grim Reaper.
First advantage I had got from this battle was his summoner had zero benefit in this battle.
Second advantage was the opponent monster in the back line comed woth low health which will make them all of die in 2 turn from the Noxious Fumes.
Our Silvershield Paladin lost all his armor from the enemy attack. Our Cave Slugs took down poor chicken. The cat spirit lower the health of Grim Reaper waiting the Noxious Fumes to bring down his life.
At the begining of round 2, Noxious Fumes brought down Grim Reaper. We were still stay in full team with some minor health lost. After the Noxious Fumes event, our cat spirit took down the Darkest Mage and our Cave Slugs took down the Shadowy Presence. Our Silvershield Paladin still stayed but in a weak condition with only 2 healths left.
Noxious Fumes took down our Silvershield Bard. Good bye my Bard, you had fulfilled your duty, we would take care the rest of the fight for you. Scale doctor had took down Haunted Spirit before it got a chance to harm damage to our tank. The Gorlodon had stepped in to be a first tank and took down our Silvershield Paladin.
The rest of the team sought a revenge for him, Cave Slugs took a final blow to end its misery life. How about that Mr. Gorlodon!!!
My strategy for this strategy worked great like a magic. The combination of the ability from each monster help the team in the positive way. Baby Unicorn and Scale Doctor provides extra health for the rest of the team. The Strengthen ability is a key victory in this battle. Our higher health made our team tougher to stay longer in the Noxious Fumes. Silvershield Paladin as our first tank did a pretty outperforming job, he stand still almost at the end of the battle; thanks to Cleanse ability from Silvershield Bard. Cave slugs and Feral Spirit were good assassin team, they sneaked in behind of the enemy line and killed them one by one.
In higher mana battle, I might consider using Herbalist instead of Silvershield Bard. I will also using monster with Immunity ability like Kralus as last line of defend and Almo Cambio as a first tanker.
YES, I like CAVE SLUGS, they got a moderate health which will make them stay in the battle for a while and thier high damage combine with Opportunity ability can always be counted on. They prove themself many times in my battle to slay plenty of weak enemy one by one which directly destroy the enemy strategy and lead them to failure in the battle. Cave Slugs with Scarvenger ability is a very dangerous predator. After each of their kills or team kills, they will get tougher and tougher which later will cause you a bigger problem. Be sure to kill Cave Slugs fast, if you encounter them. If not your team will become like this tiny rat; waiting to be eaten soon.
