The Molten Ash Golem is a monster I like so much especially because of its high health that starts at 9 and is immediately maxed to 10 at level 2. It does not have any shield but the health is ok for me. This monster's speed, however, is not so great because it starts at 1 and is maxed to just 2 at level 4. The damage is also not so great with the max damage at just 3x.
When it comes to abilities, the Molten Ash Golem starts with the Close Range ability which makes sense because of the high health. Later on, this monster gains debuffing abilities which are the Weaken ability and Demoralize ability. Not so bad if you ask me.

Victory!
At the end of the day, only one Tarsa can be the stronger one. The enemy had a good lineup but, clearly, mine was much superior.

Did My Strategy Work?
My strategy worked just fine. Just like I suspected, the enemy tried to cripple my team from the back but I was prepared for him. The Antoid Platoon were just there to take the sneaky hits and at the end of the day, they were just as strong as they started.
Using the enemy's strategy against him was also very smart. With an unprotected backline, the enemy's team was weak and I was able to exploit that weakness.
Do I like the Molten Ash Golem
Yes of course. I already mentioned that I really like this monster mostly because of the amount of health it has. This monster is one of the first fire monsters I ever bought. I also like the close range ability that this monster has. I have the card at level 4 and hope to level it up eventually.
