Drybone Hobgoblin is a melee monster unit with a Reach Ability that can support and help the front tanker attack in the battle's beginning unit. It is also one of the least used battle cards.

Since fire elements are good at both melee and ranged attacks, Ujurak Elder is also the least used card. In my experience, the majority of my attacks are offensive, distant, and melee; I rarely resort to magic, or if I do, it depends on the circumstances of the battle. If it's a magic-only battle, I use this card forcefully just to make a number and fight in the field.

Exploding rats are also good in battle, but I seldom employ this card very often because of its health. Its speed is good, but its offense is particularly potent, and its defense isn't very effective. The health points are what I'm worried about, and it's only one when it's level 4 since i only have a gold card level 4 on it, so i have to endure a 1 health card. Essentially, if there isn't an armor buff, it can die instantly if it is attacked, and if magic hits it deeply, it will die instantly because it has only one health. Moreover, this card is quite fast; it can essentially avoid attacks as long as they are close or far-away attacks. What I like best about this card is that it has an explosive weaponry attack.

When I talk about the cards that are the most used, the Forgotten One card is frequently used in battle as well because it is very helpful for tanking, melee attacks, and retaliation counterattacks. One of its many beneficial abilities is immunity, which is completely superior against noxious fumes. The next card is the Antoid Platoon, which is rather prevalent in Gold level and silver card leagues with minimal mana. It is beneficial since it has a shield to absorb damage and a scavenger that scavenges life to make him stronger in the late game. This allows him to absorb health every time a monster in the field dies.

Last but not least is Ferox Defender, a card that is frequently used in battle strategy due to its repair capabilities. This card can be used to restore armor. In the event of a sneak or opportunistic battle situation, this card is particularly useful.

Due to the opportunistic attack condition, which gives every melee monster an equal chance to attack, this battle is extremely difficult and challenging. Additionally, Poison damage is excruciating due to the toxic fumes that disadvantage us at the start of the combat, and it will be hard to survive if your card is immune-deficient. In order to survive the battle, I have the two cards here with Forgotten One as my tanker and Drybone Hobgoblin's reach attack. These two monsters possessed immunity, which is my hidden weapon. I highlighted Ujurak Elder, who improved my team's health and gave me a one-health advantage. The health boost is crucial since it gives you enough time to play in toxic fumes while suffering two damage at the end of each turn.

Exploding rats is one of the major impacts put in this battle because at the first fight, it was able to execute one opponent unit, Stitch Leech, and provided a positive explosion that damaged the nearby opponent enemy, which weakened their defense and health. Since this card has the team's lowest health, it is also a sacrifice card because it will typically be the target of an attack. I assumed that because of its speed, it could avoid some attacks, but it was unable to avoid the damage because my opponent's summoner granted its monster one speed ability that compete with the speed of my exploding rats, which had a direct impact that they hunt it and destroyed in one round and prevented me from maximizing its potential blast damage. As the fight goes on, my Forgotten One and Ferox Defender work together to heal armor while launching a fierce attack on my opponent, which allowed me to defeat him and destroy his entire army.
