In this battle, the monsters' health are equal to the health of the monster with the highest HP, a.k.a. the Equalizer ruleset.
Anuk made a wise choice of using Failed Summoner as the primary tank and then using low-health monsters like Brownie and Creeping Ooze behind.
Since Brownie and Creeping Ooze will copy Failed Summoner's initial HP of 4, making their HP increase from 1 into 4, they effectively become secondary tanks.
I'd also like to point out that Anuk's use of Iza the Fanged was strategically placed, just behind Katrelba Gobson and in front of Furious Chicken. Why? Because Iza the Fanged gains +1 health for every kill Katrelba and herself make, turning her into a very tanky backline that can now perfectly survive against snipe and renderring the opponent's sneak monster (Katrelba Gobson) useless.Smart plays, @Anuk! ๐ฅ
@Wednesdays made a brilliant choice in using Mylor as his summoner in this Only-melee match due to the "Up close and personal" ruleset!
As we all know, having Mylor as your summoner grants each of your monsters the "Thorns" buff, which causes melee damage taken to be dealt back to the attacker, a perfect fit for this match!
I'd also like to point out that Wednesdays used Quora Towershead, a monster from the Gladuis set with both melee and magical attacks, effectively giving Wednesdays a ranged monster in what was supposed to be an all-melee match.๐
Both teams took these matches seriously and devised counter-strategies to this type of ruleset. Both used Disentegrator to demoralize their team's melee damage and both put enough defenses for their the backline.
Astoundingly, wednesdays took the win.
Good job, @wednesdays! ๐ฅ
@Hatdogsensei used magic dealing monsters, Djinn Inferni, and Magi of Chaos to great effect in this battle.
The use of magic-dealing monsters here is what contributed to Hatdogsensei's success, because magic damage never misses, rendering Enraged ability useless.
I also like how Hatdogsensei used Forgotten One, a monster with high melee damage 5 that, when buffed by Enrage, becomes a whopping 8 damage! That was the burst of power that ripped the opposing team to shreds in my opinion.
The opponent's Krash Wanderford was knocked out in the first round and thats when I thought this was going to be a landslide for hatdogsensei.
After Krash Wanderford gets killed, hatdogsensei's Forgotten one, Djinn Inferni, and Magi Chaos quickly wipe out the opponent's team.
With just those three monsters dealing 13 damage per round, it's far too much for the squishy enemy backline to handle without Krash Wanderford to tank it for them.
The game is effectively over. Great play, @hatdogsensei! ๐ฅ
That's all for the recap guys, thanks for making it to the end! โฅ
