The ruleset that I managed to get

- Mana Cap - 56
- Active Elements -
Here's my starting lineup
Summoner: Thaddius Brood
- With this weeks challenge the specific summoner type doesn't matter which matters is that the summoner is lowest mana cost possible and highest level possible
- In my case I settled for death as I knew I had strong team there
1st Position: Djinn Muirat
- Djinn Muirat was my main tank for this battle
- Main reason I like Djinn Muirat here a lot is his Void Armor ability
- Void Armor - Magic attacks hit this Unit's armor before its Health
- Knock Out - Does double damage when attacking a Stunned enemy
2nd Position: Ulundin Overseer
- For 11 mana Ulundin Overseer does not seem like a great pick at first but I had great plans for him
- Ulundin Overseer was also acting like a second tank for my team
- Flank - At the beginning of the battle, if this Unit is in the first position, the Unit in the second position gains Reach
3rd Position: Skok Duskblight
- Skok Duskblight was my secret plan to winning this battle
- Recently I have started to really like the Weapons Training ability
- He just needed to buff two adjacent monsters but he also has some decent stats himself so win win on my part playing him
- Weapons Training - Adjacent Units with no attack gain this Unit's attack, up to a maximum of 3
4th Position: Almo Cambio
- Next up is another high hp no attack monster who can be buffed by Skok Duskblight
- Immunity - This Unit is immune to negative status effects
5th Position: Usut
- I love Usut so much because of the Bloodlust ability
- I placed him second to last so he would have time to get some take downs and get buffed by Bloodlust
- Bloodlust - Every time this Unit defeats an opponent, it gets +1 to all stats
6th Position: Ravenhood Warden
- For last but not least is Ravenhood Warden with Protect just to make my team even more tankier
- Even tho he is quite weak he buffs himself as well which makes him 2 armor 3 hp which I can get behind
- Protect - All friendly units gain +2 Armor
Starting board
- Already after seeing the starting board I was confident I would win because my enemy decided to play two melee monsters despite Briar Patch being active
- Also I just have a gut feeling I had made really tankie team against his not high damage team
- But anything could still happen so lets start the battle and have a look
Here's how the battle went
1st, 2nd & 3rd Round
- First 3 rounds were quite slow but I still felt like I had taken down his most toughest monsters and in the same time give only 2 out of my 5 tank/magic monsters for exchange
- His next monster to fall into the first position was also a ranged unit so his damage was going to drop hard but lets keep looking
4th & 5th Round
- I was starting to fall behind on the monster count but I still had two high hp tanks left
- Also my Usut managed to get one take down buffing him to 3 magic damage per hit
- I only need to take down this ranged monster and the next magic monster do get to him low hp monsters after which the battle should have been over by a long shot
6th & 7th Round
- After another two rounds all of my tank monsters where fallen and now it was 100% sure I was going to win this battle
- And to add salt to the wound my Usut got another take down so he was now on 4 magic damage, 8 shield and 11 hp
- Now I just needed to wait for the next 1 to 2 rounds which should take my to my victory
8th & 9th Round
- It took me 2 round to kill my enemies last standing monsters
- After his last monsters where taken care of I took the victory
- Battle Replay Link
Summary
- This battle was definitely heavily one sided but still fun to watch
- I believe the strategy to take away from this battle is the Weapons Training and 2 high hp tanks combo
