Hello everyone, today I wanna share a Battle where I was Defeated, but I felt it was worth of sharing to show the mistakes I commited to develop better strategies in the future.
DETAILS OF THE BATTLE:
- RULE SET: Keep your distance (Monsters with Melee attack type can't be used.)
- MANA CAP: 26
- ACTIVE ELEMENTS: Fire, Life, Death, Earth and Dragon.
MY LINE-UP:
My element for this battle was Death
• As Summoner, I choosed the Death Summoner Contessa L'ament that reduce the Attack of Ranged Monsters.
• Monsters (from First to Last position):
Peaceful Giant as the punching bag in the front: It was my only decent choice. Because of the Rule Set, all of the decent Death tanks were forbidden (Bone Golem, Harklaw, etc.).
🏃🏻♀️1 ❤️8
Elven Mystic in second place to make attacks without Missing and avoiding Rivals armor because it has Magic Attack
🎆1 🏃🏻♀️2 ❤️3
Boogeyman making my rivals slower and with a good 2 Magic attack, but costing too much Mana (6) and being slow as an old snail.
🎆2 🏃🏻♀️1 ❤️4
Slow ability (Reduces the Speed of all enemy Monsters by 1)
Twisted Jester, one of my essentials (until the change of cards) when using Death because of the Snipe ability and decent Speed it has.
🏹2 🏃🏻♀️3 ❤️4
Snipe ability (targets enemy Monsters with Ranged, Magic, or no attack that are not in the first position)
In the last spot, Venari Bonesmith. I put it here because it has Life leech which make it heal after attacking, and in case my rival has a Splinter with Sneak , it won't kill it that quickly.
🎆1 🏃🏻♀️2 ❤️3
Life Leech ability (Monster's health increases each time it damages an enemy Monster's health in proportion to the damage dealt)
RUMI58 LINE-UP:
• Lyanna Natura as summoner giving +1 of health to every Monster.
• Monsters (From First to Last):
- Failed Summoner
🏃🏻♀️2 ❤️4
Magic Reflect (When hit with Magic damage, does reduced Magic damage back to the attacker)
✥—————————✥————————-✥ - Earth Elemental
🏹1 🏃🏻♀️1 ❤️6
✥—————————✥————————-✥ - Goblin Chariot
🏹2 🏃🏻♀️3 ❤️3
✥—————————✥————————-✥ - Mantoid

✥—————————✥————————-✥ - Child of the Forest

RESUME:
With all the abilities of both Summoners and Monsters taking effect, the stats of all the participants become this:
Round 1:
• Centaur takes out Elden Mystic
Round 2:
• Failed Summoner succumbs after an attack of Venari Bonesmith
• Centaur again takes out one of my Monsters, this time Boogeyman making RUMI58´s team recover 1 of Speed.
Round 3:
• Mantoid takes out Twisted Jester
Round 5:
• Centaur eliminates Venari Bonesmith and because this was my last monster with the capacity of attack, it is matter of time to be beat up.
Round 6:
• Child of the Forest puts an end to this contest ultimating my Peaceful Giant.
Analyzing this battle I commited a lot of mistakes, starting with the selection of the Element and Summoner. I was dubitative in choosing between Pyre (Fire) and Contessa L'ament (Death) because I got Lava Golem, a card that works well as tank, but the rest of my other Fire Non-Meele Attack Monsters had low Health (Goblin Fireballer, Fire Elemental or Spark Pixies); which is the reason I choosed Contessa.
Other point is that I choosed mostly Magic Attack Monsters and RUMI58 put Failed Summoner in the first position, Reflecting most of the received attacks and weakening my monsters. And then, when finally Failed Summoner disappeared, the damage was already done.
Meanwhile, three of RUMI58 Monsters had Snipe ability and were capable of attack Venari Bonesmith, Twisted Jester (the only with Snipe), Boogeyman, Elven Mystic and not centering in Peaceful Giant like I planned.
The other strategy that I wanted to use but failed miserably was putting in last place Venari Bonesmith because of Life Leech, and in case my rival got a Monster with Sneak; it would be difficult to take it out of contest.
