Social Media Challenge | Planning ahead is always worth the time! 😉💀

This week I brought a **Wild Ranked** battle, where I will try to take advantage of the **Super Sneak** ruleset, because all of the **Melee** attack enemy monsters will target my last monster in my backline. 😁

The mana cap was 36, which is not that much, but it is enough to bring few key monsters in order to try to tackle the challenge of the **Super Sneak** ruleset. Even though only the **Melee** attack monsters will attack my last monster, there is a huge risk that my opponent will bring **Tarsa** from the **Fire** Splinter, because she is able to build an amazing **Melee** attack team. 😇 That is why my plan was to bring a backline protector and also bring some support for him to give him the chance to sustain as much as damage possible from the enemy team. The **Ferocity** ruleset will give the **Fury** ability to all the monsters, which means if a monster has the **Taunt** ability all the other monsters will deal double damage against it, so it is better not to bring this kind of monsters. 😁

**Octavia Shadowmeld** is a special **Death Summoner**, because she will decrease the **Health** to all of her enemies by one, but most importantly she is able to bring one additional **Gladiator** monster into this battle, which is pretty insane. 😊

Bringing **Kothripus Bayne** was the first reason that I picked **Octavia**, because as a **Gladiator** monster he is only available to play withing the **Guild** battles. Luckily **Octavia** is able to bring one additional **Gladiator** monster, so I picked him because he has a huge amount of **Health** and **Melee** attack damage, which is always good, but he possess the **Bloodlust** ability as well, so whenever he kills his target he will increase all of his stats by one and that is crazy! 😅

I used the **Dark Arborist**, because there was a huge chance that my opponent will bring a full **Melee** attack lineup, so I wanted to take advantage of her Demoralize ability, which will decrease the **Melee** attack of all the enemy monsters by one as long as she is alive. She also has one **Magic** damage, so apart from her de-buff she is able to deal one **Magic** attack damage, which will ignore the enemy **Armor**. 🤗

The **Ravenhood Warden** is a **Ranged** attack monster and I had to bring him with a very good reason! He has +2 **Ranged** attack damage with two very powerful ability. The first is his **Protect** and the second is his **Inspire** abilitiy. This is just too good to miss out, because he will give +2 **Armor** and +1 **Melee** attack to his friendly monsters as long as he is alive. 😁

The **Arachne Weaver** is a very interesting monster, because he can not heal himself, but he can heal others with his **Corrupted Healing** ability! Generally there is no healer in the **Death Splinter**, but **Arachne** is able to Heal 70% of his friendly and damaged monsters in the same round, but at the cost that they will lose one maximum **Health**. He also has +2 **Magic** damage, which makes him a very good damage dealer as well. 😎

I started to run out of mana, so I had to bring a low budget monster. Luckily the **Death Splinter** are full of them, so it was easy to pick the **Haunted Spider**, because he cost only three mana and two **Ranged** attack. As a low mana cost mosnter he doesn't have too much stats apart from his damage, so I needed to hide him in my backline really well. 😜

The **Will-O-Wisp** cost six mana and in return he has 10 **Health**, which is very good to sustain quite a lot of damage from the enemy **Sneak** attack monsters. He doesn't have any attack, but if he able to protect my backline it will worth bringing him. He also has the **Flying** ability, which will further help him to evade the enemy **Melee** attacks. 😇

My opponent brought **Lobb Lowland** who is an **Earth** Summoner and such he is able to bring some serious monster such as **Quora**, because he also has the ability to bring one additional **Gladiator** monster just like me. He also decreases the **Speed** of all of my monsters by one. 😒 In the first round not much happened, because my **Will-O-Wisp** did his job pretty well and my **Kothripus** almost killed their **Thane Newsong**, but he was blinded and he just missed that lethal blow. 😅 In the second round my tank and backline protector took some damage, but my **Weaver** healed them up pretty quickly at the cost of taking one maximum **Health** from them, while my team finally killed their tank. Sadly my team missed a lot against their **Halaran Huntress**, but in the third round she couldn't do much against my **Weaver** and his **Magic** attack. 😉 As soon as she died their **Thunderhoof Nomad** fell into the first position and she was also a low budget monster, so my tank easily killed her and allowed him to activate his **Bloodlust** ability, which increased all of his stats by one! In the fourth round their **Queen Mycelia** also died by my **Weaver** and their super powered **Quora** became their new tank. 🙃 Luckily my team was still in full in numbers and they had plenty amount of damage to deal with the **Queen** and won the battle for me. It is always difficult to play against **Quora**, but my strategy paid off to **Heal** my monsters in every round even if they lost one maximum **Health**. 😇
