For today's post, I want to share a combo I've been using in a few recent battles. I find it interesting because this strategy has been effective, even though the card isn't maxed out yet. For this combo, I'll be using "Mantaroth" and "Junker."

Mantaroth has an ability called "Armored Strike", which allows it to attack enemies using its Armor stats. The higher the armor, the greater the attack damage. The key strategy here is to continually repair Mantaroth's armor using the "Repair" ability. Both Mantaroth and Junker have this ability, and you can position Junker in the second spot so it can still attack using its "Reach" ability. Let’s take a closer look at the card I used in this battle and how it contributed to Mantaroth's effectiveness.

In this gameplay, the strategy revolves around boosting Mantaroth's Armor stats for maximum effectiveness. I positioned Mantaroth in the front (1st position) so it could leverage both its Armor and Melee stats to attack. In the 2nd position, I placed Junker, whose role was crucial in repairing Mantaroth's armor with the "Repair" ability. Additionally, I deployed Ferox Defender, which provided an extra 2 Armor to all allied units, further enhancing Mantaroth's defenses.

To divert enemy attacks away from Mantaroth, I included Mycelic Slipspawn, whose "Taunt" ability attracted enemy aggression, helping reduce the damage aimed at Mantaroth. For additional armor support, I added Queen Mycelia, who supplied another 2 Armor to all allies, reinforcing the overall durability of the team. Finally, I used Goblin Psychic to assist with Mantaroth's health regeneration, ensuring it could endure throughout the battle. This combination of armor boosts, repairs, and strategic defense made the team resilient and Mantaroth highly effective in battle.

Even though the enemy used Demoralize to lower the melee attack of my monsters, Mantaroth's Armor stats still increased by 4 at the start of the battle, bringing its total armor to 8. This made Mantaroth even more resilient and allowed it to maintain strong offensive power through its Armored Strike ability, despite the melee debuff. The boosted armor provided a solid defense, helping to mitigate the impact of the enemy's debuff strategy.

In the earlier round, Mantaroth took some damage but was able to quickly repair its armor. It then unleashed a massive 8 damage attack using its armor stats, followed by an additional 2 melee attack. This combination of sustained defense and powerful strikes made Mantaroth a dominant force in the battle, reinforcing the effectiveness of the Armor Strike strategy.

In the second round, it successfully obliterated the enemy Flying Squid by employing its powerful Armor attack.

The enemy suffered an overwhelming defeat, as none of my lineup were defeated during this battle. This complete victory not only demonstrated the effectiveness of our strategy but also highlighted the resilience and strength of our team against the opponent's forces.

Adapting to the enemy's tactics and being aware of any changes in their approach will be crucial for future battles. Staying vigilant will help us refine our strategies and respond effectively to new challenges.
