Overview

The new Weekly ruleset Challenge is an amazing twist that I am enjoying so far and I hope there will be twists like that in the future to keep this Challenge's fresh. 😁

This week the ruleset is the Heavy Hitters, which means that all units gain the Knock Out ability.

Be sure to include a unit with Stun in your lineup to trigger the knock out.


The upcoming Battle ruleset

RulesetDescription
Reverse SpeedMonsters with the lowest Speed attack first and have the highest chance of evading attacks.
Heavy HittersAll Monsters have the Knock Out ability.

The mana cap for my next battle was 54, which is more than enough to play the strategy I want. The Reverse Speed ruleset is a very tricky one, because all the mosters will use their speed reversed, which means that the mosnters with the loweset speed will attack first and dodge the most. 😁

The Heavy Hitters ruleset is a nice and powerful one, but it relies heavily on monsters with the Stun ability and on the luck as well to trigger that. 🤞

My lineup

Possibilus the Wise is a six mana cost summoner who provides three abilities to his monsters. The first is to give +2 health, Reach ability and the Trample. So basically what this means is that all of my monsters will be able to attack from the second position and if any of my melee attack monsters kill an enemy monster they will get an extra attack on the next monsters of their target. 😌
Baakjira is one of the best non-attack monster in the game, because he has a lot of health and abilities. He has Void, which will protect him against the incoming magic attacks. The mass Slow will decrease the speed of all the enemy monsters, while his Strengthen will increase the health of all of his friendly monsters. Still his most important ability is his Heal, so he will be able to sustain a lot of damage while he is able to heal himself. 😁

Daarg Deadblast is part of the Rebellion set and he is a very powerful monster. He is strong, but not stats wise. His main power is his Weapon Training ability, so he will be able to give his magic attack to the monsters next to him, which will allow the use of different tactics than usual. He also has the Triage and Swiftness abilities, which are crazy good abilities to support his team. 🤗
The Clockwork Aide is nothing special on its own. He cost 4 mana has a lot of armor and only one health plus the Swiftness ability, which will give +1 speed to all of his friendly monsters. The most important thing is that he will receive the magic attack buff from Daarg Deadblast to make himself a damage dealer. 😇

The Runemancer Kye cost 11 mana, which is a lot, but she has very unique abilities, becasue first of all she is able to Fly and secondly she has the Life Leech ability, which means that she is able to steal some health from her target and to increase her maximum health with that. The amount of life stolen from the enemy monsters are proportional and it will be always half of the damage she makes. 😎
The Deeplurker is an amazing monster especially on higher levels, because he has high damage and the Demoralize ability, which is perfect for this battle to reduce the melee attack of all the enemy monsters as long as he is alive. His main ability is the Opportunity, which means that he will attack the lowest health monster. 😜

Nerissa Tridawn is just a simple monster apart from the fact that she has huge amount of health and magic damage, which is always good against monsters with a lot of armor. She cost nine mana, but she is well worth her price, because it is very hard to kill her while she maintain huge damage output. 😊

My opponent brought Grandmaster Rathe who is a Life Summoner and he also has three abilities provided to his team. The first is to give +1 armor, the second is to turn all of their armor to Void Armor (this will block magic damage as well) and the third is to give them the Amplify ability, so they will reflect more damage back than they normally would do. 😜

My opponent did setup a pretty strong team using the super expensive *Inevitable as his tank, so it will be interesting to see who will prevail in this battle.

In the first round his Iziar took all of our damage, because he has the Taunt ability and he has a lot of protection against our magic attacks, but luckily my Deeplurker would deal significant damage to her. 😊

The second round was similar to the first we couldn't kill their Iziar, because she receives a lot of support from their team.

The third round was similar, BUT with the help of the poison damage my team managed to finally kill Iziar, but sadly she got resurrected back by her team. 😒

By the end of the fourth round my team once again killed her and she remained silent for good. 😁

Baakjira was a perfect choice as my tank, because he sustain a huge amount of incoming damage and he also gave time to my Deeplurker to deal as much as damage to the lowest health monster on the battlefield, which was the Inevitable and together they managed to kill this enormous monster. 💪

Finishing the battle was pretty easy afterwards, because my opponent lacked the damage to kill my Baakjira, so eventually my team killed all of the enemy monsters one by one. 😁

Battle Result

Did your strategy work? What will you try differently next time?

My strategy worked as expected and it is quite easy to ignore this ruleset as long as no one brings a monster with the Stun ability. 😇
