My article today is about the ambush ability. The ambush ability allows the combat with this ability to occur first before the 1st round begins. Currently, only the rebellion edition cards have the ambush ability, and only a few monsters possess it. Below are the monsters that have the ambush ability.
Where does the ambush ability have an advantage? For me, aside from being the first to attack before the first round begins, they also have an advantage with blast ability or explosive weaponry. Because right from the start, they can immediately damage the opponent's armor or even kill them all. It's also more effective if the ambush is accompanied by the scattershot ability because the blast's effect on the opponent will be scattered. And its effectiveness is greater if the unit is faster than the opponent.
The battle I'll show you comes from the Poseidar Wild Silver Invitational tournament, where I finished in 176th place, so I didn't receive any SPS reward. In this battle, four abilities are present, with the main highlight being the inclusion of one of the units with an ambush ability.
MY BATTLE
The battle condition is 57 mana caps The elements that you can not use are fire, water, and earth. The rulesets are Close Range, Explosive Weaponry, and Corrosive Fog.
TEAM COMPOSITION
One of the rulesets chosen is Explosive Weaponry, with Conqueror Jacek as the summoner, a fire summoner with +2 speed, scattershot, and piercing. My plan here is to have quick attacks because of the blast ability present in all units. And because of the blast, I need the effect to scatter on the opponent, so I need the scattershot ability. For the first position, I chose Chaos Golem, a melee attacker with return fire and enrage ability at level 2. Because he has a lot of health, I placed him in the front. The return fire will help because I expect the opponent to use ranged attackers. For the second position, I chose Cornelius, a ranged attacker with a heal and thorns ability at level 2. I placed him in the 2nd position so that the blast would hit him, and because of his healing ability, he could heal himself, so he wouldn't die immediately in battle. For the 3rd position, I chose Lava Launcher, a ranged attacker with close-range ability at level 3. I chose him because of his 4 ranged damage and 6 armor, which protects from the blast, so he won't die immediately in battle. For the 4th position, I chose Supply Runner, a ranged attacker with swiftness ability at level 5. Supply Runner's swiftness ability will give additional speed to all units. For the 5th position, I chose Countess Sinash, a ranged attacker with opportunity, camouflage, and swiftness ability at level 2. Countess Sinash will also give additional speed to all units. For the last position, I chose Rush Townsend, a ranged attacker with ambush and affliction abilities at level 2. I included him in the lineup because of his speed and ambush ability, which will help in the first attack before the battle begins, giving a chance to immediately damage the opponent's armor.
Because of Rush Townsend's ambush ability, he was able to kill one unit from the opponent before round 1 started.
BATTLE HIGHLIGHTS
In round 1, due to Rush Townsend's ambush ability, he killed the opponent's Supply Runner before the round even started. And at the beginning of round 1, because Rush Townsend is faster than everyone else, he was the first to attack in the battle. With the help of scattershot, he hit Spirit Miner with his attack, who also died. And because of the blast, his adjacent unit, Countess Sinash, was also killed in the attack, so Rush Townsend immediately killed a total of 3 units in this round.
Because Tinderlock is the only remaining opponent in the battle, he won't be able to withstand the damage he'll receive anymore, so the battle ends in round 2.
