Social Media Challenge | My strategy playing in a low mana battle. 🤔

This week I brought a **Wild Ranked** battle, where the mana cap will be the only limiting factor building a lineup capable to defeat my opponent. 😊

The mana cap was 24, which is not too much mana at all and I need to use a lot of budget monsters with low mana cost in order to fill up my lineup completely. 😊 There will be no rulesets modifying the battle in either way, so only the monsters and their ability will change the outcome of the battle. That is why it is important to bring more budget monsters with few or at least one solo key monster whom is able to take advantage of the enemy monsters. 😇

The **Pembrook Nymph** cost 6 mana, which means that she is quite expensive compared to some of the cheaper **Summoners**, but her ability is to give +1 **Health** to all of her friendly monsters, which is also not that strong. On the otherhand her last ability is to bring one additional **Gladiator** monster into this battle which is quite amazing, because that would be a huge advantage over my opponent if I pick that monster carefully. 💪

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. 😜

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. 🤗

The **Musa Saline** cost three mana, but her **Magic** damage is only one. She has the **Scavenger** ability, which makes her to increase her own **Health** by one every time a monster dies on the battlefield. She also has the **Shatter** ability, which means that if shehit her target she will destroy all of their **Armor** at once. 💪

The **Venari Marksrat** is always a good option to any team, because he cost only three mana and has +1 **Ranged** attack, which is not much, but his mana cost is only three. The most important ability of him is his **Martyr** ability, which means that he will increase the stats of his nearby monsters if he dies. 😁

**Isgald Vorst** will be my most important **Gladiator** monster in this battle and that is why I brought **Pembrook Nymph** as my **Summoner**. He is a **Melee** attack monster and he has the **Opportunity** ability, which means that he will be able to attack the lowest **Health** monster from the enemy team and on top of that if he manages to kill them he will increase his own stat by one using his **Bloodlust** ability. 😉

The **Venari Wavesmith** is one of my favorite monster, because he is a good damage dealer with amazing protective ability, which is the **Protect** ability, which means that he will increase the **Armor** to all of his friendly monsters by two until he is alive. He also has +2 **Magic** damage, which is pretty good and makes him a perfect choice for this battle for his 5 mana cost. 😋

My opponent brought **Kelya Frendul** who is also a **Water** Summoner and his ability is to give +1 **Speed** and **Armor** to all of his friendly monsters. 🤓 In the first round my **Hardy Stonefish** too a huge amount of hit, but luckily the first kill was made by my **Isgald Vorst**, which was important, because in this way he managed to increase all of his own stats by one. Soon after my tank also killed their **Gibbon** off-tank, which was amazing. Right after the first round finished in the beginning of the second round their **Deeplurker** finished his job killing my **Hardy Stonefish**. 😒 **Musa Saline** helped a lot to kill their **Cruel Sethropod** just before the second round finished and such their **Mar Toren Trader** who is a **Ranged** attack monster became their new tank, where she was unable to attack from. 😊 In the third round their **Deeplurker** killed my tank and right after that my **Isgald** also killed their new **Ranged** tank. That is why their **Sergeant Grauzral** became their tank who was also a **Ranged** one, so he also lost his ability to attack from there. In the fourth and fifth round my team was finally able to kill their last two monster and my team was able to win this battle for me. 😇
