You invest your time and effort to think up strategies, on how to play this battle which would end up not being able to use those amazing combos you pulled off from last game.

This is a strategy for when you can't use your brain and ends up using just brawns. A strategy to play for when all abilities are unusable and when you need to go Back to Basics.

Stats | Fernheart

_{𝔓𝔥𝔬𝔱𝔬 𝔣𝔯𝔬𝔪 𝔪𝔶 𝔖𝔭𝔩𝔦𝔫𝔱𝔢𝔯𝔩𝔞𝔫𝔡𝔰 𝔞𝔠𝔠𝔬𝔲𝔫𝔱.}

Fernheart is an epic summoner. However, it's not as different from rares in Gold and below. You need to get a level 4 to use capped Gold monsters. It's good to have on a back pocket especially since it's not as expensive as other earth summoners.

_Abilities

+1 Health. All of your monster gets 1 increased max health.

Close Range (Inherent). All of your monsters gets Close Range ability that allows any range damage type be used while on first position.

Stats | Runemancer Florre

_{𝔓𝔥𝔬𝔱𝔬 𝔣𝔯𝔬𝔪 𝔪𝔶 𝔖𝔭𝔩𝔦𝔫𝔱𝔢𝔯𝔩𝔞𝔫𝔡𝔰 𝔞𝔠𝔠𝔬𝔲𝔫𝔱.}

Runemancer Florre has very high stats to balance out the lack of ability. Due to multiple damage type, damage increase and decrease is half as effective. She can also play as tank if you're using Fernheart's Close Range.

_Abilities

None. Runemancer Florre does not have any abilities at all levels.

_{𝔓𝔥𝔬𝔱𝔬 𝔣𝔯𝔬𝔪 𝔪𝔶 𝔖𝔭𝔩𝔦𝔫𝔱𝔢𝔯𝔩𝔞𝔫𝔡𝔰 𝔞𝔠𝔠𝔬𝔲𝔫𝔱.}

For this battle, since this is a Back to Basics rule of combat, I won't add the other abilities as they aren't usable in this battle anyway.

Summoner: Fernheart: Gives +1 health to all of your monsters and Close Range ability to allow range monsters to attack while on first position.

1. Pelacor Mercenary: Costs 7 mana, 3 damage and 9 health. Good tank for a decent cost.
2. Terraceous Grunt: Costs 6 mana and 11 health. It's a soul-bound rewards that can only be obtained in battle.
3. Vampire Blossom: Has 3 speed and 2 damage.
4. Hunter Jaxx: Costs 6 mana and 3 range damage.
5. Runemancer Florre: Costs 13 mana, has 13 health, 2 magic damage and 2 range damage, and 4 speed. Except for the mana cost, everything is above normal.

ᗪIᗪ YOᑌᖇ ᔕTᖇᗩTEGY ᗯOᖇKEᗪ?

Yes but I almost lost. Runemancer's Florre's high health saved me. Since I'm using range monsters, I also had a lot of misses due to speed difference. Last, I was too excited that I didn't notice the Armored Up rule of combat. This worked against me since range damage doesn't pass through armor.

---

ᗯᕼᗩT ᗯIᒪᒪ YOᑌ TᖇY ᗪIᖴᖴEᖇEᑎTᒪY ᑎE᙭T TIᗰE?

I'll probably change everything except the summoner. Since it's Armored Up rule of combat, magic damage type are better choice as their attacks bypass armor.

Runemancer Florre on Back to Basics rule of combat

? 𝑾𝒉𝒚 𝒐𝒓 𝑾𝒉𝒚 𝒏𝒐𝒕?

Yes. The Back to Basics rule of combat does not affect Runemancer Florre since she doesn't have any abilities in the first place.

Runemancer Florre's two damage types are also hard to counter as you need separate abilities to mitigate her damage.

I also apologize for the lower quality images and editing for this post and upcoming posts. Bad luck just struck all at once which includes, but not limited to, my PC's hard drive failing due to extreme heat recently.

I also had a couple of higher priorities so the quality of my work will be like this for this month and the next.

Everything will go back to normal by June so I appreciate the patience of my dear readers.
