Hello again, my coffee loving friends. This week's Battle Mage Secrets challenge is about Super Sneak. Super Sneak gives all unit the Sneak ability that allows melee units to target the units from the back and gives them the ability to attack regardless of their position.
I don't know why some players just don't abuse the rule sets given. While this makes your moves easily predicted, You simply just need to use more firepower or better strategy than your opponent.
RULE SETS
| Available: | |
|---|---|
| Super Sneak: All Melee attack Units have the Sneak ability. |

STRATEGY
Due to Super Sneak, I decided to focus the defense more on the back rather than on the front. I used one tank in the front, Cursed Windeku, while having a Shield unit at the back, Crypt Beetle.
Since Super Sneak only affects melee units, a Shield unit at the back would be very useful as it would have the damage of those melee units.
In case Crypt Beetle falls, a second tank was prepared, Ever Hungry Skull. His Flying ability is useful to dodge the opponent's attacks while his high armor is very helpful as armor can block a unit's melee attack.
Alternative Strategy: You can also exchange the strategy on the front and back. Since most melee units will be attacking the back, instead of Shield and high armor units, you can use units with Thorns such as Cursed Windeku or Djinn Chwala to counter any attack on the back.
CARD POSITIONING
In this battle, I used the summoner, Thaddius Brood, and units, Cursed Windeku, Carrion Shade, Cursed Slimeball, Ever Hungry Skull and Crypt Beetle .

||
| 1. Level 1: Good tank with high health. Good in Super Sneak and can be placed in both front or back of the team. | 2. Level 1: A level 1 unit that has an attack. While it's not strong, it can still do damage in this rule set. | 3. Level 1: A level 1 unit that has an attack. While it's not strong, it can still do damage in this rule set. | 4. Level 1: Flying unit with melee damage, low health but high armor. Most of the Sneak units are melee so having a unit with high armor at the back is an effective strategy. | 5. Level 1: Low cost unit with Shield. Shield halves the opponent's melee Sneak attacks and is good for reducing damage from the back. |
Due to Super Sneak rule set, all melee units gain the Sneak ability. Sneak targets the last Unit on the enemy Team instead of the first Unit.
