This week I brought a **Brawl** battle, which I just played and where it is very important to pay attention to the rulesets, because no matter if you have strong monsters and summoner the rulesets here are easily able to kill your team. ๐



Ruleset |
Description |
Lost Legendaries |
Legendary Monsters may not be used in battles. |
Even Stevens |
Only Monsters with even Mana costs may be used in battles. |
Explosive Weaponry |
All Monsters have the Blast ability. |
The mana cap was 50, which is a very good amount to pick up the mosnters that I want and also to try to take advantage of the rulesets. The higher mana cap also helps to ignore the two ruleset, which is limiting the available monster pool. ๐
While the **Lost Legendaries** ruleset bans all the **Legendary** monsters the **Even Stevens** will remove all the monsters from the battle whose mana cost is **Even**. Usually these rulesets are quite strong, but luckily the mana cap was high, so I could choose more expensive mosnters as well.
The most important ruleset in this battle is the **Explosive Weaponry**, which means that all the monsters will have the **Blast** ability, so they will be able to indirectly damage the monsters next to their target. ๐

My lineup and the decision behind it!
Summoner
Possibilus the Wise

**Possibilus the Wise** is one of my favorite and powerful **Summoner**, because he gives a lot of abilities to my monsters. The first is to increase their **Health** by two, which comes handy against the indirect **Blast** damages and the second is to give two ability to his friendly monsters. These abilities are the **Reach** and **Trample**, which means that if I use a **Melee** attack monster in the second position he or she will be able to attack from there. The **Trample** is also amazing, because if a **Melee** attack monster manages to kill its target they will get a free attack against the following monster in line. ๐

Main Tank
Commander Slade

Commander Slade became a very strong and resilient tank of mine, because he has quite a lot of **Melee** attack and also very high **Speed**, which will allow him to dodge more incoming **Melee** and **Ranged** attacks. On top of that he has a lot of **Armor** and **Health**, which will help him to sustain quite a lot of damage. He cost 10 mana, which is crazy expensive, but the mana cap was good to be able to bring him as my tank. ๐

Main Damage Dealer
Coastal Sentry

The **Coastal Sentry** is expensive, because she cost 10 mana as well just like my Slade. She has 3 **Melee** attack damage, which wouldn't be so high on its own, but she also has the **Double Strike** ability, which means that she will be able to attack twice in every round. Luckily the **Reach** ability from her **Summoner** will help her a lot, because it will allow her to attack from the second position and taht is why she is my main damage dealer. ๐ช

The Opportunist
Deeplurker

The **Deeplurker** is an interesting damage dealer, because apart from his nice amount of **Melee** attack he also has the **Opportunity** ability, which means that he will target the lowest **Health** monster from the enemy team. The **Opportunity** and **Blast** abilities are a very powerful combination, because if he is lucky he will be able to deal a huge amount of damage to the enemy backline. ๐

The Blaster
Shock Tropper

The **Shock Trooper** cost almost nothing compared to the other monsters and he has huge amount of stats compared to that. The main reason of that is the fact that he has a huge weakness, which means that he will damage all of his friendly monsters fro mthe beginning of the second round onwards. ๐

The Speeder
Clockwork Aide

The **Clockwork Aide** doesn't have any attack on its own and the main reason I brought him into this battle is the fact that he has the **Swiftness** ability, which will increase the **Speed** of all of his friendly monsters by one. He has only one **Health**, but a lot of **Armor**, so he is a perfect monster to sustain a lot of indirect damage from the **Blast**. ๐

Ranged Damage Dealer
Edith Emberstar

**Edith Emberstar** cost eight mana and she is a **Ranged** attack damage dealer and she is a very good one as well. She has +4 **Ranged** attack damage and as a **Gladiator** monster she has the **Bloodlust** ability, which means if she manages to kill her target she will increase all of her stats by one. ๐

My opponent brought **Helios Matriarch** who is a **Dragon** Summoner and such she will be able to bring any **Dragon** monster into this battle. She also gives +1 **Speed** to all of her monsters, which is amazing and also being able to bring one additional **Gladiator** monster if she wish. ๐
My opponent also used the **Coastal Sentry**, but in the tank position, which was a bit problem for him, because my lineup killed her and even the second monster behind her. She is not the strongest as a tank, but a damage dealer. ๐
Luckily my **Deeplurker** attacked their **Riverboat Captain** in the middle of their backline and alost managed to kill him.
In the second round my **Slade** attacked first and attacking their new tank the **Blast** damage killed their **Riverboat Captain** who had only one **Health** left. ๐ค
My **Sentry** was the second in line to attack and she managed to kill their **Arkemis** and by killing him she got a free attack from the **Trample** ability.
Only one monster left in their team and that was **Alfredo** who is a weak **Ranged** attack monster, so my team was able to kill him easily and win this battle for me. ๐
