Today I brought a **Brawl** battle, where I will try to use one of my favorite monster in the whole game, because she is quite dangerous. She also has her counters of course, so it will be interesting to see that my opponent would be able to do just that! ๐ต



Ruleset |
Description |
Silenced Summoners |
Summoners do not give any stat buffs or debuffs or grant/use any abilities. |
Noxious Fumes |
All Monsters start the battle Poisoned. |
Heavy Hitters |
All Monsters have the Knock Out ability. |
The mana cap was 58, which is a lot and I will try to make a good use of it picking few high mana cost monsters. The **Silenced Summoners** ruleset will eliminate all the abilities of the **Summoners**, so basically the only important things is to pick the highest level **Summoner**, so you will be able to use the highest levelled monsters you have. ๐
It is very important to watch out for the **Noxious Fumes** ruleset, because that is the most dangerous one amongst the three and it will easily control the battlefield. This ruleset will give the **Poison** de-buff to all the monsters on the battlefield, which means that all the monsters (unless they will be cleansed) will take two damage at the end of every round. ๐
The **Heavy Hitters** ruleset will give the **Knock Out** ability to the monsters, which means that they will be able to deal double damage against monsters that are **Stunned**. ๐

My lineup and the decision behind it!
Summoner
Lobb Lowland

**Lobb Lowland** is an amazing **Summoner**, because he has the ability to bring an additional **Gladiator** monster into the battle and also be able to decrease the **Speed** of his enemy monsters. Sadly the **Silenced Summoners** ruleset will negate all that for this battle, but he is my highest levelled **Earth Summoner**, so it was a no brainer to choose him. ๐

Main Tank
Arkemis the Bear

**Arkemis the Bear** is an excellent tank, because he has a lot of **Health** and quite good **Melee** attack damage, but more importantly he has the **Protect** ability, which will give +2 **Armor** to all of his friendly mosnters as long as he is alive. This is important to stall the time until the **Poison** will take its tool amongst the enemy team. ๐

The first Martyr
Fungus Flinger

The **Fungus Flinger** is an excellent monster, because he has the **Martyr** ability, which means that he will increase the stats of the monsters next to him in case he dies. He also has the **Blind** ability, so all the enemy **Melee** and **Ranged** attacks have an increased chance of missing their target as long as he is alive. ๐

The Key Monster
Quora Towershed

I think **Quora Towershead** is simply the best monster in the whole game, because she has two different attack type (**Magic and Melee**) and the **Bloodlust** ability, so if she manages to kill a monster she will increase her own stats by one permanently. She also has the self **Heal** ability to further boost her sustainability (especially in the Noxious Fumes ruleset) and the two **Martyr** ability monster next to her will make her truly amazing. ๐ช

The second Martyr
Venari Marksrat

The **Venari Marksrat** is my second **Martyr** monster. Stats wise he is not that strong, but he doesn't need to be strong at all, because he has one important ability, which is the Martyr. It means that he will increase the stats of the monsters next to him by one in case he dies. The **Noxious Fumes** ruleset will kill him quick, which is good, so he will be able to activate his ability as soon as possible. ๐

Double Striker
Drybone Raider

The **Drybone Raider** is an excellent choice for this battle, because he has two different (one **Ranged** and one **Melee**) attacks, but more importantly he also has the **Double Strike** ability, which will allow the **Raider** to attack four times per round in this battle. ๐

The Decoy
Terraceous Hulk

The **Terraceous Hulk** is a very expensive monster, but the mana cap was so high that I could easily use him. He has a very important role in this battle, because he has the **Taunt** ability, which means that all the enemy monsters has to attack him, which will give enough time to my lineup to survive as long as possible. ๐


Click on the picture for the replay
My opponent brought **Possibilus the Wise** who is a **Water** Summoner and has amazing abilities, but fortunately the **Silenced Summoners** ruleset will deactivate his powers completely, so he can not give any to his monsters. ๐
In the first round my opponent monsters were a bit quicker, so they attacked first and started targeting my **Hulk** at the end of my backline. Both of our tanks had a lot of **Health**, so in the first round none of our monsters died. The **Poison** damage at the end of the round was quite powerful and many of the monsters damaged heavily by that. ๐
In the second round me and my opponent both lost our tanks and luckily my **Quora** was the final killer, so she increased her own stats already by one.
At the end of the second round the **Poison** also hit all the monsters on the battlefield and as a result my opponent lost his tank and I lost my two monsters with the **Martyr** ability, (*as I expected*) so they were able to increase the stat of my **Quora** even further.

In the third round I immediately lost my tank, because he had only two **Health** left, but **Quora** became so powerful that she easily killed two of their monsters in a row, which also boosted her up using her **Bloodlust** ability.
**Quora** became so powerful that she was basically invincible and she single handedly (*needed some help from her teammates*) won the battle for me and for my guild. ๐
