Hello again, my coffee loving friends. Reverse Speed rule set is one of those rule sets that you don't need to religiously abide. While it would give you some disadvantages if you don't follow this rule set, it also won't be the as disastrous.
As my example for this battle, you would see that I really didn't care about the rule set and while it would put me in that bad position, as long as you have a strategy that can overcome this, everything would be okay.
It is not a sin to use high speed units in Reverse Speed rule set, just make sure that if you do, your strategy is good enough to overcome the shackles that you put to yourself.
RULE SETS
| Active: Inactive: | |
|---|---|
| Reverse Speed: Units with the lowest Speed attack first and have the highest chance of evading attacks. | |
| Taking Sides: Neutral Units may not be used in battles. |

STRATEGY
The higher the unit's level, the higher their speed. Normally, that is how it works. This made my units in a huge disadvantage allowing my enemy to strike first. As my counter strategy, I used multiple units with Tank Heal with varying speed. Along this, I have a strong tank that can withstand all the damage as he take it on its own because of Taunt.
CARD POSITIONING
In this battle, I used the summoner, Bortus and units, The Kraken, Anasth Soothsayer, Kulu Mastermind, Merdaali Guardian, Albatross and Crustacean King .
Quick Stats
| Level 8: Rare Summoner. Allows level 10 common, level 8 rare, level 6 epic and level 4 legendary. |
Taunt - Demoralize - Enrage - Retaliate |
Cleanse - Tank Heal |
Weapons Training - Opportunity |
| 1. Level 4: The strongest unit in the game. Not only he has high health, armor and speed, he also has great damage. This high speed becomes a hindrance on this battle making him miss a lot though but what I need is him being the tank rather than him doing the damage. | 2. Level 2: Rebellion unit with Tank Heal and Cleanse. Her magic attack may be low but it doesn't miss. | 3. Level 1: While his Weapons Training is useless in this battle, he can still do a lot of damage with Opportunity as long as his attacks would hit. |
Tank Heal - Repair - Strengthen |
Flying - Tank Heal |
Tank Heal - Protect |
| 4. Level 8: She's the perfect partner for The Kraken. Not only she has Tank Heal and Repair, she also has Strengthen. The extra health from Strengthen increase The Kraken's health to 15 making all Tank Heal for him heal 5 health instead of 4. | 5. Level 6: This is one of my most recent additions. I have an extra 1 mana so I thought that it would be best to add someone who can heal my tank. | 6. Level 6: Another Tank Heal unit but also with Protect increasing my team's armor by 2. |
