NOXIOUS FUMES
All Monsters start the battle Poisoned.
MANA: 99
LINEUP
Byzantine KittyUnder NOXIOUS FUMES rule, all monster will take 2 damage per turn by default, and the TANK HEAL ability provided by kitty offset the damage done by the rule, heal are exceptional good against frontliner with high HP as the heal amount are proportional to the target max HP. +2 SPEED give the team higher chance of priority to attack first, which sometimes is very critical during a close match, especially when both team are left with last monster. While the additional provided ability TRUE STRIKE didn't serve any special need in this battle, but better safe than sorry! |
1st Position - Grum FlamebladeGrum Flameblade came with very high HP, Attack and decent Shield, which make him a very good frontliner, and in this particular battle, his high HP optimized the TANK HEAL effect from Kitty. And in case where he successfully killed an enemy, his BLOODLUST ability will further boosts his max HP, which will eventually make the TANK HEAL effect from Kitty even better! |
2nd Position - Carnage TitanCarnage Titan come with very decent Shield and HP, in case Grum Flameblade fallen in the 1st position, he can take over the frontliner tanker position very well. And most importantly, his REACH ability provide a very good option to reach out opponent in MELEE ONLY match, while both range and magic is not available. Apart of that, his handy ability DOUBLE STRIKE allow him to deal significant damage most of the time. |
3rd Position - DisintegratorA MUST HAVE card while playing in MELEE ONLY rule. In the battle where only melee are allowed, his DEMORALIZE ability almost guarantee all of the opponent monster will suffer from damage reduction. His main role is to debuff the opponent, so I'm putting him in rather safe position which is away from frontline damage and risk of sneak attack to keep his ability available as long as possible. |
4th Position - The VigilatorAgain, another card with decent HP. But most importantly is his special characteristic with MULTI ATTACK TYPE. While range are ban from the match, his multi attack attribute allowed him to enter the battle as a range attacker and dealing damage from mid lane. And if the battle didn't go well, he can take over the frontliner position with his melee attack with DOUBLE STRIKE ability. |
5th Position - Forgotten OneA MUST HAVE card while playing in NOXIOUS FUMES rule. His IMMUNITY prevent him from taking any damage from NOXIOUS FUMES debuff, while having very good composition state of Attack, HP and Shield. He was placed in a position far from battle, in the hope that he could stay in the healthier state after every other monster are suffer from NOXIOUS FUMES damage. When reached his turn to fight in frontline, most likely he will be facing weak opponent which has already very much suffer from the debuff damage. |
Last Position - Living LavaSince this is MELEE ONLY match, and melee are famous with SNEAK attack, so I placed Living Lava in the last position, in the hope that he will be able to tank the incoming SNEAK attack as long as possible with his SHIELD ability, while buying time for another cards and NOXIOUS FUMES do deal enough of damage to opponent team. |

My line up VS opponent line up
EPILOGUE
Did your strategy work?
As you can see from the list, I'm trying to pick monster with decent HP and attack, so that they could survive NOXIOUS FUMES as long as possible while still able to deal damage.
Grum Flameblade + Disintegrator keep Grum Flameblade survive very well, when the battle end, Grum Flameblade has a max HP of 14, and the game end with Grum Flameblade staying in full HP while Forgotten One remain untouched!
Do you like DRAGONS?
Dragon has always been one of my favorite all the while because of their special characteristic which able to joint battle with other element, giving you more option on differnet type of combination, leaving opponent harder to predict your next line up.
