Hello Splinters, I'm Lagnarok, Welcome to my Weekly Social Media Challenge. Kulu is very dissatisfied with the current Water Faction. Kulu believes Water Faction has weakened because higher-ups are corrupt and incompetent. With this, Kulu decided to strategize and train weak and non-combatant monsters so they could participate a weekly Faction Wars. Kulu invests so much time, blood, and sweat to train and teach them how to win the war. Because of this, Kulu has become so popular with many names. Some call him Kulu, the Commander, Kulu, the General, or Kulu Mastermind.

Kulu Mastermind's Lore

The sea churned and boiled as the Kulu mastermind slammed into the merfolk warrior. Tentacles wrapped around the warrior’s neck, arms, and torso while more tentacles beat him. The two spun through the water as they fought, sinking deeper into the murky depths. A tentacle slid over the merfolk’s gills. He reached to pull it free, but more tentacles slid around his wrists, yanking his hands away. Another tentacle slapped him across the face once, twice, three times. He struggled and convulsed.

The battle happened in a Wild Gold league in a ranked match; the battle detail itself is "Equal Opportunity", "Up to Eleven," and "Fire & Regret" rulesets. With this kind of rulesets, I decided to try something new: Kulu Mastermind with his Weapon Training ability.

Battle Preparation & Strategy

NameLvAbility
BortusLv 5-1 magic
The KrakenLv 3Taunt, Demoralize, Enrage
Tide BiterLv 3Reach, Reflection Shield
Kelp InitiateLv 3Cleanse
Kulu MastermindLv 1Weapon Training, Opportunity
Merdaali GuardianLv 5Tank Heal, Repair
AlbatrossLv 6Flying, Tank Heal

With the Equal Opportunity ruleset, I decided to use The Kraken for Taunt's ability so that Kraken would be the primary target for my opponent monster with so many incoming attacks. I also put some supportive monsters for The Kraken with Repair and Tank Heal, but the drawback is supportive monsters can't attack. With so many supportive monsters, I decided to use Kulu Mastermind's ability, "Weapon Training," which will give monsters without the ability to attack become monsters with the ability to attack and combined with the "Equal Opportunity" ruleset will be perfect.

Did my Strategy Work?

Yes, Perfectly as my imagination. Merdaali Guardian, Kelp Initiate, and Kulu Mastermind synchronize perfectly and attack the enemy's weakest point.

Note: I tried to change my writing style from a long and tedious version to a shorter and more descriptive one. I hope. You can enjoy it.
