Ruleset
Ruleset Briar Patch, all monsters has Thorns ability.
- Thorns ability, every time the melee monster attacks the enemy it will receive damage.
Holy Protection, all monsters have Divine Shield ability.
- Divine Shield ability, the first time the monster receives the attack will receive 0 damage / ignore the damage. This effect will last, even after the monster dies and is resurrected back again.
Fog of War, all monsters will loss all the ability (Sneak, Sneak, Snipe Opportunity) to attack monster not in the first position.
Has mana Cap 54
Can use element Fire, Water, Life, and Death.
My Lineup and strategy
Some Tips and strategies we can use :
- For the ruleset Holy Protection we must focus fire (focus attacking 1 monster using all of our monsters), The enemy I think will do the same focus firing our monster so if possible bring the monster with taunt ability, and the damage then will be split, giving higher chance our 2 tanker monsters (monster in the first position and monster with ability Taunt) survive longer, give the chance of our attacker monster safe from attack and while the keep attacking the enemy.
Another tip is to bring the monster with the Blast ability (the monster attack will give damage to the enemy monsters adjacent to the target monster) and the Redemption ability (if the monster dies give damage to the enemy monsters) will help to disable the Divine Shield effect in all the enemy monsters.
- Fog of War This ruleset ensures that the enemy will be focused on attacking our monster in the first position.
- Briar Patch ruleset, make sure not to bring many Melee, or bring melee with Reflection Shield ability so the effect of thorns does not give damage.
Basically, with the ruleset Fog of War, we can effectively only bring max 2 melee monsters, the monster in the first position and the melee monster in 2nd position with reach ability.
For this battle, we will use Life because we have great monsters with Taunt ability, usually for a battle like this we will use water because many water monsters have high defense capability and have healed.
Beside splitting the damage strategy, we will use the martyr ability to boost our damage.
This is our Line up :
| Summoner or monster | Abilities | Description |
|---|---|---|
| The Grandmaster Rathe(summoner), make all friendly monster have Armor, Void Armor and Amplify ability | This monster will give all friendly monster +1 armor, change the armor to void armor (magic damage will hit armor first before the HP), and amplify will Increases Magic Reflect, Return Fire, and Thorns damage to all enemy monsters by 1 | |
| Uriel the Purifier, 1st position, attacker and tanker. Has the Ability Flying, Recharge, Heal, and Redemption. | This monster has high armor, and HP, and can heal a very strong tanker. The other support ability he has is the Flying ability which increases the chance to evade the enemy melee and range attack by 25%. This monster's weakness is only can attack every 2 rounds with 3x damage, but I think in this battle can be an advantage too because he doesn't get many Thorns damage. When this monster dies it will give damage to all enemy monsters by 1 (Redemption ability). This ability is very useful in this Divine Protection ruleset, when activated will disable all of the Divine Shield effects in the enemy monsters. | |
| Adelade Brightwing, 2nd Position, Attacker and Support, has the ability Flying, Repair, Resurrect, Immunity, and Swiftness. | Placed in this position because I think the enemy will have a hard time to kill our tanker the Uriel and Iziarso this monster will be safe from any attack for a long time. The second reason is to protect our monster who will get a boost from Iziar Martyr's ability. The Flying ability will increase the chance of dodging enemy range and melee attack by 25%. TheResurrect ability which is very useful for reviving our monster Iziar, is the main reason we use this monster to double the effect of the Martyr ability. The ability Swiftness will help all our monsters to get a +1 speed boost so can increase the chance to attack first, evade the enemy attack, and hit the enemy. | |
| Spirit Hoarder. 3rd position, attacker and support. Has Triage, Dispel, and blind abilities | Triage ability can heal monsters not in the first position, this is the reason we use this monster to heal our monster with Taunt ability. The Dispel ability can erase the effect of the buff from the enemy monster, like the Martyr ability which is a very famous ability and has been used by many players in the battle lately. Blind ability will increase the chance for all our monsters to evade the enemy range and melee attack by 15%. | |
| Djinn Renova, 4th position, attacker and support. Has the ability Strengthen and Triage | Placed in 4th position because we want this monster to get a boost stats from the Martyr ability from Iziar. We use this monster to heal our Iziar. The Strengthen ability she has is another good ability that gives all friendly monsters +1 HP. | |
| Iziar 5th position, Attacker and Tanker. Has the ability Taunt, Void, and Martyr ability | Placed in the 5th position so the enemy damage can be split with the monster in the first position, another reason because the Triage ability (heal) needs the monster not in the first position. We brought Spirit Hoarder and Djinn Renova to heal this monster, and we want this monster Martyr ability (every time this monster dies will increase all stats of friendly monsters adjacent to this monster) to boost the stats of monster in the 4th and 6th place. This monster has a Taunt ability, which makes all enemy if can will attack this monster. With the Void ability, this monster is strong against magic. Void ability will half the damage of magic attack | |
| War Pegasus 6th position, Attacker. Has the ability Flying and Shatter | Placed in the last position because it has the ability Flying and has high speed, in case the enemy brings a monster with sneak ability hope this monster can evade 1 or 2 attacks before being killed. Shatter will destroy the enemy armor monster in one attack. This monster will receive the Martyr boost too. |
The Battle
- Round 1 :
The battle started with buff and debuff, as usual.
In this round, all our monsters attack the enemy monster Coeurl Lurker in the first position. The enemy attack split into our 2 monsters Uriel and Iziar. 2 enemy monster Coeurl Lurker and Flying Squid attacked our Uriel and 4 other enemy monsters attacked our Iziar.
- Round 5 :
We skip to Round 5 because no monster dies until Round 4. In this round, Iziar dies for the first time because of the poison effect from Doctor Blight and the Martyr effect actively gives a boost to all stats of Djin Renova and War Pegasus. The Iziar was resurrected again by Adelade Brightwing and got healed by Djinn Renova. You can see when Iziar resurrected the effect of Divine Shield active again, he does not receive damage when hit by an enemy Supply Runner.
- Round 6 :
Iziar died again got the poison effect and was hit by Supply Runner this give a second boost to Djinn Renova and War Pegasus. In this round, Coeurl Lurker dies. Surprisingly die attacked by our Spirit Hoarder who only has 2 speeds.
After Iziar dies Doctor Blight starts to attack our Uriel and give Poison effect and Affliction status, making our Uriel can't heal anymore.
- Round 8 :
The enemy Flying Squid dies killed by our Djinn Renova who has very high damage magic now after the boost. Our Uriel after getting poison and can't heal finally dies killed by the enemy River Nymph. With the death of Uriel the Redemption ability active and gives damage to all enemy monsters disabling the effect of the Divine shield ability.
- Round 9 :
Djinn Renova killed the enemy Merdaali Guardian with 1 hit. With Adelade Brightwing as a tanker, Doctor Blight Poison Attack and Affliction effects can't hit Adelade Brightwing because it has immunity ability.
- Round 10 :
In this round one again our Djinn Renova killed River Nymph with one attack. The enemy Supply Runner move to the first position so can't attack anymore.
- Round 11 :
I think no surprise anymore that our Djinn Renova killed the enemy Supply Runner with one attack. The enemy only left Doctor Blight, This monster can't kill our tanker Adelade Brightwing because the Adelade keeps repairing the armor.
- Round 12 :
With only Doctor Blight against 4 of our monsters, we easily attack and killed it. With the dead of Doctor Blight, the victory is ours.
Did your Strategy Work?
Yes the strategy work, Using Iziar the monster with taunt ability to split the damage gives chance for our attacker to decrease the enemy monster's HP. The Iziar Martyr ability gives a great boost to all stats of Djinn Renova and War Pegasus, this boost makes our monster can kill the enemy monsters easier.
Uriel Purifer Flying ability really great help to evade the enemy attack. At round 8 when Uriel dies the ability Redemption he has active and gives damage to all enemy monsters making the effect of the **Divine Shield **disabled from all enemy monsters.
The enemy brings a monster with a Taunt ability Coeurl Lurker this monster is expensive to rent and buy. With great speed and the ability he has combined with adding speed from the enemy monsters our monsters have a hard time killing this tanker monster until Iziar Martyr's ability gives twice boost stats to our monsters.
