IT DOESN'T GET ANY CLOSER THAN THIS!
First day of the season is the best time to grind because of high DEC rewards per match. And a great way to start is by watching this clutch game by your very own Stone Golem.
My Line Up
Summoner: Mylor Crowling
Most of the time, I use Mylor Crowling as my Summoner when playing Earth. Not only by his cool hairdo but his thorns ability is what makes him deadly especially in bronze league.
First Position: Stone Golem
For a low mana cap, this is my preferred tank every time. Stone Golem is the best combo with Mylor with his 2 shield and reduce damage from melee and ranged attacks.
Second Position: Furious Chicken
With 0 mana, you can make use of this bad boy in most of your battles. I decided to put him in the second position to absorb the damage from my opponent's snipers.
Third Position: Child of the Forest
I put him in third position in case the opponent has more ranged snipers, because of his high speed, I'm hoping I can get some dodges from it.
Fourth Position: Wood Nymph
To support my Stone Golem tank, I put not only a healer but with magic attack damage as well.
Fifth Position: Goblin Dartling
I had a hard time choosing between Goblin Dartling and Khmer Princess, but I chose this instead because it has 2 speed.
Sixth Position: Earth Elemental
My most preferred backliner for Earth. With only 3 Mana cost, it has 6 HP and can give sneak attackers a hard time especially with the thorns from Mylor.
Game Ruleset: Aim True
Mana Cap: 20
Mana Cap: 20
And here we go with the battle, I didn't expect him to go with Death and he has haunted spirit as his tank. Although his summoner won't affect any of my monsters, I was afraid at this moment that all of my backliners will go down quick because of those snipers with a combined 3 damage per round.
Round 1
My Furious chicken and Child of the forest will go down easily but I managed to kill his chicken as well his sneak attacker.
Round 2
In this round, my Wood Nymph and Goblin Dartling will go down as well thanks to his undead priest who lowered all my monster's HP to -1. Great thing about this round is that I got rid of his Haunted Spirit which I think is one of the crucial point in this match.
Round 3
He will reduced my Earth Elemental HP to 1 and same will happen to his undead priest.
Round 4
The mighty Stone Golem will be the only one fighting for my team after this round.
Round 5
Most of the time, because of his 1 speed, i will not be surprise if the Stone Golem will miss most of his attacks. But this round, he didn't miss. And I'm loving every second of it.
Round 6
At this point in time, the Stone Golem is the one who will attack. And also, I suddenly realized the ruleset Aim True. I almost forgot. Stone Golem will not miss any of his attacks. I love it.
STONE GOLEM WITH THE CLUTCH HIT AND I WON
Stone Golem was like, "I told you! I will win this for you!"
He surely was the highlight of this match.
My strategy did not work but thanks to Stone Golem for saving the day! I'm expecting him to go Earth in this match and that was I prepared for. But thanks to him for the good game, or should I say Clutch Game. Next time? I won't try anything different, I will always put my best team in any battle possible. And keep on learning every single time.
Stone Golem is the go-to-tank in Earth for low mana cap in bronze league. Partner him with Mylor? They will have a hard time battling you.
