When you accomplish something extraordinary, you not only feel proud of yourself but also start appreciating your success and progress. That's exactly what happened to me in a battle late last night. My opponent was a level 4 Archon, and more than half of his team's cards were at max level 5, meaning you can't consider your opponent a novice. The card cap was 48, and three elements—fire, earth, and dragon—were available for team building.
Now begins the strategy. The basis of the strategy for this battle was Sneak, which makes all the melee cards attack the card in the last position of the lineup, meaning the card in the last position will face the most attacks. So I decided to place a card with the Thorns ability on the last position. But for that melee card to trouble the enemy not only with its Thorns but also with its attacks, it was necessary for it to have the freedom to attack. Therefore, I chose the legendary archon Elowen Sylphie, who, by providing the Charge ability to Lioceros of its bloodline and all the other melee cards, gives them the freedom to attack from anywhere in the lineup.
Also, to make this card even more lethal, I gave Lioceros, who has the Thorns ability, the additional powers of my Archon, Resurgence and Trample abilities. Resurgence gave this card the power to respawn with 100% stats, and Trample gave the card the power to perform another attack with the same power on the next enemy card after every killing attack. Due to this, in the first round, 3 enemy melee attackers suffered -2 damage from Thorns for each of their attacks, which did not result in any knockouts, but they were obviously weakened. In the second round, when Lioceros reappeared after being knocked out, all the cards suffered a blow of -1 health, and again in the round, all three enemy melee cards suffered back-to-back damage from Thorns.
Meanwhile, the rest of my cards attacked the enemy equally, and even now, you can see from the screenshot that both teams appear to be almost equally powerful. This means that nothing can be said about victory or defeat at this time. But perhaps you can estimate the balance by knowing that another card of mine has the Resurgence and Trample abilities, and the synergy between that card's own ability and Resurgence is mindblowing. So, there's no doubt that you're going to have a lot of fun watching this battle live, and you might even see some pros and cons in my strategy.
This is how we learn from each other and improve. Here's the link to this battle. I hope you enjoy it.
