Ruleset
Super Sneak, all monsters have Sneak ability.
- Sneak ability: melee monster can attack the enemy in the last position from any position.
mana cap.
can use elements Fire, Water, Life, and Death element.
My Lineup and strategy
In this Super Sneak ruleset, I think you can do three different strategies:
- Using the best melee unit with high damage and good attacking ability.
- We assume that the enemy will use the strategy above and we counter it using the good unit and put it in the last position:
- Put units that have Forcefield ability (if the enemy damage is 5 or more the damage it receives becomes 1) or bring a unit with high HP and if possible (the mana still enough) several healers (Triage ability).
- Use the unit with Shield ability (decrease the enemy melee damage by 50%)
- Surprise the enemy by bringing many magic attacks and focus on attacking the enemy unit in the first position.
In this battle, we decided to use a unit with the Forcefield ability while still preparing for the enemy to use the magic attack and try to surprise us, and surprising the enemy by attacking the enemy unit in the first position ignoring the Super Sneak ruleset.
This is my lineup for this battle
| Summoner or monster | Abilities | Description |
|---|---|---|
 | Lux Vega, Give speed, armor, and speed +1 to all friendly monsters. | This summoner from the Neutral element is a stronger version of Kelya Frendul (summoner from Water element) with a higher mana cost. Armor buff will help in the battle with the Super Sneak ruleset because the enemy melee unit needs to destroy the armor first before can decrease the enemy's HP. With increasing speed, our monster has a chance to attack first, evade the enemy attack, and kill the enemy before the enemy can attack. The increase in HP gives us more chance for our unit to survive. |
 | Baakjira, 1st position, attacker and tanker. Has the ability Void, Slow, Strengthen, and Heal. | This monster is good against melee, ranged, and magical damage, we use this unit in case the enemy uses a magic attack. It has a high amount of health points, with good defense and support abilities such as Void (reducing magic damage by 50%), Strengthen (increasing the HP of all allied monsters by 1), and Slow (reducing enemy speed by 1). This unit's weakness it can't attack. |
 | Torrent Fiend, 2nd position, tanker, has the ability Headwinds. | We used this unit with zero mana cost because we don't have any more mana left, it's better to fill the slot. It has Headwinds ability which decrease all the enemy range unit damage by -1. We put it in this position in case our Baakjira die it may receive some attack to protect our attacker behind. |
 | River Nymph, 3rd position, attacker and support. Has the ability Cleanse, Amplify, and Swiftness. | We use this monster because it has a Cleanse ability that will remove any negative effects from our unit in the first position. The Swiftness ability which increases the speed of all our allied monsters by +1. This unit is weak against attack so we put it in this position. For the Amplify ability we don't use it in this battle. |
 | Spirit Hoarder. 4th position, attacker, and support. Has Triage, Dispel, and Blind abilities | We use this unit because has Triage ability will heal the unit with the most damage which is not in the first position (especially for healing Djinn Oshannus in the last position). The Blind ability increases the chance for all of our units to evade the enemy melee and ranged attack by 15%, this will help Djinn Oshannus to evade the enemy attack. The Dispel ability can erase the effect of the buff from the enemy monster in the first position (Swiftness, Bloodlust, Inspire, etc). I put this unit in the middle to protect it from front and back attacks because this unit has low speed and HP, easy to die. |
 | Angelic Mandarin, 5th position, attacker and support. Has Triage and Silence ability | Together with Spirit Hoarder this unit will heal our Djinn Oshannus with the Triage ability. Silence ability will decrease the enemy magic attack by -1. |
 | Djinn Oshannus, 6th position, attacker and tanker, have ability Void, Phase, and Forcefield abilities | We use this unit to counter the enemy melee unit with high damage 5 or more using the ability Forcefield, with this ability the damage will decrease to 1 damage. With Phase ability this unit can evade the magic attack. The Void ability will decrease the magic damage by 50 %. |
Our Formation is finished and we are ready to battle :
Conclusion
Usually, I only use the strategy using the Forcefield ability if I see the enemy can use Jared Scar (Life element) or Venka the Vile (Neutral Element) these two units have great damage and good ability. Especially Jared Scar every time it kills the enemy all base stats will increase by 1.
In the end, this strategy still worked although the enemy did not use high-damage melee units as we guessed it instead it mixed them with the magic attack, but we already prepared for the enemy using magic attack by using Baakjira, River Nymph to help Baakjira eliminate the negative status, and also Angelic Mandarin which decrease the enemy magic attack. With the tanker in the first position Baakjira and Djinn Oshannus in the last position with 2 support units that keep healing Djinn Oshannus the enemy can't defeat our tanker and we easily defeat the enemy unit in the first position one by one using our range and magic attack unit.
