This week I brought a **Guild** battle, which is quite important in order to get some crunchy points to beat the enemy **Guilds** and to get a nice rewards. Usually I like these kind of battles, because it allows me to use one **Gladiator** monster, whom are one of the strongest monsters in the game, but the low mana cost will make my decision more difficult what to use. ๐



Ruleset |
Description |
Super Sneak |
All Melee attack Monsters have the Sneak ability. |
Aimless |
All the Ranged and Magic attack monsters will have the Scattershot ability. |
Equalizer |
The initial Health of all Monsters is equal to that of the Monster on either team with the highest base Health. |
The mana cap was 17, which horrible, because it limits heavily the available monster pool. Usually it is not worth to use one or two higher mana cap monster unless they are really good and lucky, because the more monsters you have the more attack you can block. ๐
The **Equalizer** ruleset also helps to pick up more monsters, because all of them will have the same **Health** matching to the highest **Health** monster.
The **Aimless** ruleset will render all the **Magic** and **Ranged** attack monsters to attack randomly, which is bad, but the **Suepr Sneak** ruleset will provide a work around this problem, because if I would use only **Melee** attack monsters they all of them will attack the last monster from the enemy team. ๐

My lineup and the decision behind it!
Summoner
Kelya Frendul

**Kelya Frendul** is an all time favorite **Summoner** for me, because he is cheap costing only four mana and he provides two stats to all of his monsters, which is to give them +1 **Armor** (*to block one **Ranged** or **Melee** attack completely*) and +1 **Speed** for the entire battle (*higher chance to evade an attack and to attack quicker*). ๐

Main Tank
Halfling Refugee

The **Halfling Refugee** **Melee** attack damage is plus two, which is nice as a tank and compare to his one mana cost. This will allow to him to have a huge drawback, which is his **Weary** ability, which means that from round one these monsters will have 10% chance to became **Exhausted** whenever he triggers this ability. As soon as he will be **Exhausted** he will skip his actual turn. ๐

Off-tank
Hardy Stonefish

The **Hardy Stonefish** also cost one mana, which is quite affordable hence I used him as my off-tank, because compared to his mana caost he has quite a lot of **Armor** and **Health**, which makes him an excellent off-tank to protect my backline from the incoming enemy **Melee** attacks. ๐ค

Armored Monster
Frost Lion

The **Frost Lion** cost only two mana, so he is a very good budget monster. On his own he has low **Health**, but the **Equaliser** ruleset helps him a lot to increase his **Health**. He also has **Armor** and one **Melee** attack damage, which is perfect combined with the **Sneak** ability. ๐ค

The Repairer
Scavo Hireling

The **Scavo Hireling** is the only monster who doesn't have any attack in my team, but in return he has a very important ability, which is the **Repair**. This means that in every round he would be able to restore some of the lost **Armor** on one friendly monster. ๐

The Real Sneaker
Uraeus

The **Uraues** is an original **Sneak** attack monster, because he has that ability on his own, but I used him because he cost only three mana and has +2 **Melee** attack damage. This makes him my main damage dealer for this battle. ๐

The Last Damage Dealer
Tide Biter

The **Tide Biter** will be my second damage dealer as well, because his attack damage is also two, which is perfect with the **Sneak** ability and together with my **Uraues** they might be able to get rid of the enemy backline quickly. His **Reach** ability is useless in this battle, but he will attack anyway and I brought him because of his high attack damage. ๐

My opponent brought **Fithe Bladestone** who is a **Fire** Summoner and one of the new one who has the **Bloodline Dominion** perk, which means that he will give his two ability to only the monsters who has the origin of a **Dwarf**. He has two of those monsters, so he will provide them the **Void** ability and +2 **Armor**, which is quite good for only four mana. ๐
The enemy monsters consisted from a lot of **Ranged** and **Magic** attack monsters, so they were prone to attack randomly through the entire battle, because of the **Aimless** ruleset, but my monsters were a **Melee** attack one, so all of them were attacking the last monster from the enemy team thanks to the **Super Sneak** ruleset.
In the first round none of the monsters died, because the we all played with budget monsters with low damage and the **Equalizer** ruleset increased their **Health** quite a lot. ๐
Luckily in the second round their last monster was badly damaged, so my team started killing him and just before the round finished they managed to kill my tank as well.
In the third round my team killed their **Kha'zi Conjurer** who had enourmous **Ranged** attack damage with a weaknes damaging himself and his team mates, which was a good sign. The enemy monsters weren't able to kill any of my monsters in this round, because all of them was heavily **Armored**.
The fourth round started with the burn from their dead **Conjurer**, who put the burning on them, which helped a lot to my monsters to kill their last **Ranged** monster from their backline.
My tank stood firm in my first position and with the help of the burning curse on the enemies my team managed to kill two of their last remaining monster at once, which allowed me ot win this battle for me and for my guild. ๐
