Ruleset
From left to right :
- Equal Opportunity, all monsters have the Opportunity ability.
- Opportunity ability, monsters with the Opportunity ability may attack from any position and will target the enemy Monster with the lowest health.
- Heavy Hitters, all monsters have the Knock Out ability.
- Knock Out ability, does double damage when attacking an enemy that is stunned.
- Has a mana cap of 20.
- Can use the element Water, nature, Life, and Death.
My Lineup and strategy
Actually, we have a monster who has stun abilities in Water, death, and Nature.
But another monster besides the one with stun in this element is not suitable for the Opportunity ruleset, which has a low mana requirement.
Although we don't have monsters with the ability to stun in Life we decided to use this element, because the monster is more suitable for low mana battles. Many monsters in Water, Death, and Nature has more high mana requirement
This is my lineup :
| Summoner or monster | Abilities | Description |
|---|---|---|
 | General Sloan, Summoner. Can increase all friendly range monster damage by 1 | We used this Life summoner because for battle with 20 mana General Sloan is more suitable than Grandmaster Rathe who has 6 mana requirements. We only have that two summoners |
 | Pelacor Conjurer, 1st position, Tanker. Has the ability Flying, Magic Reflect, Divine Shield, and Phase. | With this monster, we can reflect Magic attacks back to the enemy. The ability Magic Reflect deals damage equivalent to the attacker's damage divided by 2, rounded up. The Flying ability can increase the chance to dodge enemy ranged attacks by 25%. This monster can evade the enemy's magic attack because has the ability Phase. The first time this monster receives an attack will Ignore the damage. We put it in the first position because with high speed can handle all kinds of attacks, he can evade, melee, range, and magic attacks with only 2 mana cost. The weakness this monster can't attack |
 | Soul Fiend, 2nd position, Tanker. Has ability Swiftness. | This monster can increase the speed of all friendly monsters, and the reason I used this is because of the zero mana cost, we already used up all of the mana we can use so can add 1 more monster will be very helpful in this battle. |
 | Vulguine, 3rd position, attacker. Has the ability Scavenger, Dodge, and Enrage | Placed in 3rd position, This monster can increase the HP every time the monster dies we put it in a safe place to build the HP hope can get high HP later in the game after several monster dies. Dodge is like a Flying ability that can increase the chance to evade the enemy melee and range monster by 25%. With Enrage's ability when this monster's HP decrease will increase the damage and speed. Because of the ruleset opportunity, this monster can attack from this position. |
 | Jared Scar, 4th position, attacker. Has Bloodlust, True Aim, and Piercing Abilities | This is our main attacker, put in this 4th position to protect it from the front and back attack, to give it the time to kill the enemy so Bloodlust can be activated (every time this monster kill enemy monsters all stats will increase). This monster can't miss with True Aim Ability, And the Piercing ability make this monster attack after destroying the armor will hit the HP, this monster will become very dangerous if keep killing the enemy. |
 | Blinding Reflector, 5th position, attacker. Has Magic Reflect, and Blind Abilities | With a Blind ability This monster can increase the chance to evade for all friendly monster by 15% when facing the enemy with ranged and melee attacks. This monster has armor so put it in the back to protect against monsters with sneak ability. |
 | Venator Kinjo, 6th position, attacker. Has the ability Reflected Shield, Camouflage, Immunity, Slow, and Amplify | This monster can't be attacked if not in the first position, Reflected Shield will ignore the effect of the Blast. I used this monster mainly because of the Slow ability which decreases all enemy monsters speed by 1 this ability will be very useful to help our monster attack the enemy first, evade the enemy attack, and make sure every hit can decrease the enemy armor or HP. |
The Battle
- Round 1:
The battle started with buff and debuff, as usual.
In this round, our monster has higher speed because we bring Venator Kinjo who has ability slow. After killing Chaos Agent our Jared Scar activated Bloodlust ability and all the stats are increased. The enemy Jared Scar activated Bloodlust ability too in this round by killing our Blinding Reflector. Some of our monster who have the same name like the enemy still have higher speeds due Slow ability from Venator Kinjo.
- Round 2:
In this round once again our Jared Scar activated the Bloodlust ability after killing Celestial Harpy, in this round the enemy Jared Scar failed to kill our monster because it attack the Pelacor Conjurer who has Divine Shield Ability making it immune to 1 attack.
- Round 3:
At the start of round 3, our Jared Scar attacked the enemy Jared Skill kill it and activated Bloodlust once again. with Jared Scar's enemy duefor sure the Winner will be our team. Let's see the next round.
- Round 4-5:
In round 4 our Jared Scar kill the enemy Pelacor Conjurer with 1 hit and once again activated Bloodlust making the attack become 11 and the speed becomes 6, with the armor become 6 and the HP become 10. Although the enemy Vulguin already has many HP of 11 but only with 1 attack the Vulguin was killed by Jared Scar in round 5. With the dead of Vulguin the victory become ours.
Did your Strategy Work?
Yes, the Strategy is working, The enemy uses the same monster as us, The Jared Scar become their main attacker. But in this battle, we have an advantage because of the slow ability of Venator Kinjo our monster attack first and kills the enemy Jared Scar before they can kill our Jared Scar.
Not every ruleset we must follow, the monster in Life is more suitable for this battle, especially this monster Jared Scar, u can see in this battle almost can kill all the enemy monsters with only 1 hit.
