For the Explosive Weaponry ruleset, I think the most important factor is speed, every time we attack it can damage several enemies at once, and the chance to kill the enemy become higher. That's why speed is important. Because of that, we will use Fire Summoner because in Fire Element We have a summoner Jacek the Conqueror which can give speed +2 to all friendly monsters. With this boost of speed, we have a chance to attack first. This is our Line up :
| Summoner or monster | Abilities | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Jacek the Conqureror, Summoner. Has ability Scattershot, Piercing ability, and can give +2 speed to all friendly monsters. | This is a summoner from the Fire element. I used this summoner because of its increased speed and ability. The ability is scattershot will make this monster attack a random enemy monster. Piercing ability, if Melee or Ranged attack damage is in excess of the target's Armor, the remainder will damage the target's Health. We need luck for our monster to attack the enemy monster with Scattershot and kill it. | |
| Forgotten One, 1st position, attacker and tanker. Has the ability Immunity, Retaliate, and Piercing. | This monster has Very high damage of 6 and very good attack ability which is Retaliate and Piercing. Retaliate can counterattack the enemy melee attack the chance for that to happen is 50%. Piercing this ability will make the damage left after hitting the armor goes through the HP and decrease it. Immunity ability will make this monster immune to all negative statuses, like poison, Halving, etc. This monster's weakness is a slow speed, but with our Summoner Jacek which increases speed by +2 hoping that this monster can hit the enemy. We hope that the enemy will use a melee monster to attack this monster and when the ability Retaliate is activated can damage several monsters at once. | |
| Venator Kinjo 2nd position, Support. Has the ability Reflection Shield, Camouflage, Immunity, Slow, and Amplify | We use this monster because of 2 abilities it has. First is the Reflection Shield, this ability will disable the effect of the blast if the Forgotten one in the first position receives damage the Venator Kinjo will not hurt. The second ability is Slow, this ability will decrease all enemy speed by -1, so all our monsters have an increased chance to attack first | |
| Lava Launcher, 3rd position, attacker. Has ability Closed Range, and Stun | Put this monster in 3rd position in case the Forgotten One died and Venator Kinjo Receives damage, the blast effect of the range monster will hit this monster's armor first. The weakness of this monster is magic damage, the HP is small. This range monster can attack in the first position because it has Close Range ability. The ability Stun is really important in this Explosive Weaponry if the enemy is inflicted with stun he can't attack in the next round, The chance to stun the enemy monster is only 50% though. Every time the enemy attack it can damage 2 or 3 monsters so when our Lava Launcher stuns the enemy monsters, it will decrease the enemy damage a lot. | |
| Djinn Inferni, 4th position, attacker. Has the ability Giant Killer, and Stun. | We choose this monster because has great magic damage and speed but this monster is Fragile and easy to die, so we put this monster in fourth position hoping to save enough from enemy attack. It is the same as Lava Launcher has a Stun ability, The Giant Killer ability will make this monster do double damage if hit the monster with 10 or more mana costs. | |
| Supply Runner, 5th position, attacker and Support. Has Swiftness, and Strengthen ability | We need this monster to further boost all our monster speed by +1 because it has Swiftness ability. The Strengthen ability will make all of our monsters may live longer by enhancing the HP by +1. | |
| Gem Meteor, 5th position, attacker. Has Scattershot, and Piercing ability | Our summoner can give the same ability as this monster to all of our monsters, so this monster's ability actually is useless, but we still use it because it has great stats, with high damage and speed. This monster is put in the last position to protect our monster Supply Runner in case the enemy brings the monster with Sneak ability. Supply Runner is more important because can give +1 speed to all friendly monsters, hope with high speed can evade several attacks from the enemy monsters. |
Enemy monsters formation.
Our monster formation.
Yes, the strategy to optimize the speed and use summoner Jacek the Conqueror with Scattershot and Piercing ability is working, the enemy can't do much because all our monster attack first and kill many enemy monsters. When the enemy starts to attack, with only 3 monsters their damage already reduces so much and can't kill our monster.
The battle in Explosive Weaponry usual is fast because every attack hit several monsters at once. The enemy's strategy to isolate our attack and blast damage by using the Iziar monster with Taunt ability (all enemy monsters will attack this if they can) and Corsair Bosun Reflection Shield ability to disable the effect of blast failed because the Scattershot ability of our summoner makes all our monster range and magic damage randomly attacking the enemy and ignore the Taunt ability.
