Ruleset for this time is REVERSE SPEED with 28 mana. REVERSE SPEED is a situation where Monsters with the lowest Speed attack first and have the highest chance of evading attacks.
My Line-Up
| Cards | Ability | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Give +1 Attack to All Allies Melee Monsters | Has less Mana than Tarsa. I'm also lucky to be able to rent Malric Inferno Lv.3 for a pretty cheap price. | |
| Shield (Lv1) | A suitable monster for Ruleset this time. His SHIELD ability will play a big role when the opponent brings Melee or Range Monster to the Battle Arena. (It would be useless if the opponent actually brought some or all of the Magic Monsters to the Battle Arena) | |
| Reach (Lv3) | Although at Lv.1 she is quite suitable for Ruleset this time, but I still rent Radiated Brute Lv.3 because she has a little more Health Points. | |
| Weaken (Lv3) | Reduces 1 Health Point of all enemy monsters. And at Lv.3, Goblin Shaman gets an additional 1 Magic Attack. | |
| Opportunity (Lv1) | Defeat the opponent with the lowest Health Points. (Although in Ruleset this time, Serpentine Spy is not at a disadvantage because of the high SPEED) | |
| Sneak (Lv1) | Aiming for the opponent's monster that is in the rear position. | |
| Scavenger (Lv3) | Even though his position is at the back and doesn't have special abilities like SNEAK, OPPORTUNITY, or SNIPE, but the SCAVENGER he has can give him the opportunity to get additional Health Points from the monsters defeated in this battle arena. However, this does not apply if the opponent brings a monster that has abilities such as SNEAK or OPPORTUNITY. |
BATTLE START !!!
Opponents use General Sloan (+1 Attack to All Allies Range Monsters) which relies more on attacks from Range Monsters. But unfortunately, the Opponent also brings Shield Bearer, Scavo Hireling, and Truthspeakers which is very difficult to penetrate if you don't bring a lot of Magic Monsters or bring a lot of monsters that have a fairly high Attack point.
After all abilities are applied.....
On the other hand, General Sloan's Ability gives an additional 1 Attack Point to the opponent's 3 Range Monsters (Xenith Archer, Pelaccor Arbalest, and Herbalist). And additional Ability from Monster in the form of +2 ARMOR given by Truthspeakers.
On my side, Malric Inferno's Ability gives an additional 1 Attack point to my 5 Melee Monsters (Living Lava, Radiated Brute, Serpentine Spy, Tenyii Striker, and Ant Miners). And additional abilities from monsters in the form of reducing 1 Health Point to all enemy monsters given by Goblin Shaman.
In Round 1, Living Lava gets a chance to attack first and he attacks Shield Bearer (reduces 4 ARMOR owned by Shield Bearer). However Scavo Hireling fixed 2 ARMOR owned by Shield Bearer. My attack continued, this time it was Radiated Brute and Tenyii Striker's turn to finish off ***Shield Bearer's *ARMOR**** and followed by the attack of Goblin Shaman and Serpentine Spy which reduced 4 Health Points of Shield Bearer.
On the other side, Xenith Archer and Herbalist attacked and hit Living Lava's ARMOR, then Pelacor Arbalest attacks the Health Point of Living Lava and leaves 2 Health Points. Shield Bearer tried to attack Living Lava but missed.
In round 2, Living Lava managed to defeat Shield Bearer (and finally all my Monsters managed to escape the TAUNT effect of Shield Bearer). Then followed by Goblin Shaman who directly attacked Scavo Hireling's Health Point, Tenyii Striker attacked Xenith Archer's ARMOR and Serpentine Spy also attacked Truthspeakers's ARMOR.
On the other hand, Xenith Archer and Herbalist beat Living Lava and Pelacor Arbalest beat Radiated Brute.
In round 2, Ant Miners get an additional 4 Health Points from 4 Monsters who died in the battle arena.
In round 3, Xenith Archer and Herbalist defeated Goblin Shaman (and increased the Health Point of the opposing Monster again by 1). Then retaliated by an attack from Tenyii Striker who defeated Xenith Archer.
Pelacor Arbalest then attacks 2 times (thanks to DOUBLE-STRIKE) to Serpentine Spy (lost) and Tenyii Striker.
In round 3, Ant Miners get an additional 3 Health Points from 3 Monsters who died in the battle arena.
In round 4, Herbalist attacks Tenyii Striker and then Tenyii Striker defeats Truthspeakers (which causes all enemy Monsters to lose 2 ARMOR and Herbalist can't attack anymore)
After that, Pelacor Arbalest hit back 2 times to Tenyii Striker (lost) and Ant Miners. In round 4, Ant Miners get an additional 2 Health Points from 2 fallen monsters and lose 3 Health Points due to attacks from Pelacor Arbalest.

STRATEGY (Did your strategy work? What will you try differently next time?)
I was lucky enough when using this strategy, because the opponent didn't use the earth element which incidentally there were a lot of Monsters that matched the Ruleset this time (especially Magic Monsters). The opponent also doesn't use Monsters that have SNEAK or OPPORTUNITY Ability which should be able to defeat Ant Miners who have low Health Points and are in the last position.
For the next strategy, maybe I will put Ant Miners in position 5 and Tenyii Striker in the last position so that Tenyii Striker can last longer.
Do you like Ant Miners?
Yes, I like it but only when Ant Miners is at level 3. I was able to rent Ant Miners at level 1 but the results are not good enough.
At level 1, Ant Miners are often the target of Monsters who have the OPPORTUNITY ability.
That was my little explanation about my battle using Ant Miners, SCAVENGER Monsters other than Iza the Fanged.
