Ruleset
Keep Your Distance, only magic and range monsters can be used.
Heavy Hitters, all monsters have the Knock Out ability.
- Knock Out ability, does double damage when attacking an enemy that is stunned.
Born Again ruleset all monsters have the Rebirth ability.
- Rebirth ability, when this monster dies it will self-resurrect with 1 Health/HP once per battle. If this monster has base armor before it will restore fully.
mana cap.
can use Earth, Life, and Death element.
My Lineup and strategy
Some of my thinking :
- Keep Your Distance and Born Again ruleset. Every battle needs a good tanker. Usually in the Keep Your Distanceruleset usually the enemy only attacks our monster in the first position, cause not many range or magic monsters that can attack our monster behind. Cause it can only bring range and magic monsters we need a tanker that is good for dealing with those 2 damage/units. For this reason, we choose to use the Life element cause have a good tanker that can deal with those range and magic attackers. Another reason why we chose this tanker in the Born Again is because it has Divine Shield ability. We will discuss it more in the lineup.
- Heavy Hitters ruleset, we don't pay any attention to this ruleset because we don't have a unit with the Stun ability.
The Lineup we use :
| Summoner or monster | Abilities | Description |
|---|---|---|
 | Lux Vega, Give speed, armor, and HP/Hit point by +1 to all friendly monsters. | This is the only summoner from the Neutral element with almost the same buff as the Kelya Frendul summoner from the Water element but with 1 more buff, the increasing HP, and 1 more mana to use, it needs 5 mana cost to use this summoner. With increasing speed, our monster has a chance to attack first, evade the enemy attack, and hit the enemy. We need the armor buff is important because it can block the damage from range monsters, the enemy needs to destroy the armor first before it can decrease the HP. The increasing HP will increase all ally unit HP make it hard to kill and it will buff the effectiveness of the Heal ability because more HP will increase the HP it restored. |
| Pelacor Conjurer, 1st position, Tanker. Has the ability Flying, Magic Reflect, Divine Shield, and Phase. | This monster is a favorite tanker in the low mana battle because has high speed and can evade all attacks including magic because has the Phase ability. The Flying ability can increase the chance to dodge enemy attacks by 25%. If attacked by a magic attack and hit, it will reflect the damage to the enemy. The ability Magic Reflect deals magic damage equivalent to the attacker's damage divided by 2, rounded up. It is immune to the first enemy attack that hits because has a Divine shield ability. With the ruleset Born Again when this monster resurrects it will have Divine Shield ability back. The weakness of this monster It can't attack. | |
 | Venari Marksrat, 2nd position, Attacker and Support, has the ability Martyr and Ensnare. | We used this monster to boost the stats of the Chaos Agent in the 3rd position with the Martyr ability. If this monster dies all the stats of the monster adjacent to it will increase by 1. If the enemy uses the same tanker Pelacor Conjurer the Ensnare ability will disable the Flying ability from the enemy Pelacor Conjurer, without Flying ability the Pelacor Conjurer easy to kill. |
 | Chaos Agent, 3rd Position, Tanker, Has Ability Dodge, Phase, and Backfire | This unit will got boost from the martyr ability. Same like Pelacor Conjurer can't attack but can reflect the enemy's attack if the enemy attacks this monster and misses, with the Backfire ability it will deal 2 damage. It has a good evade ability, the Dodge ability which increases the chance of avoiding enemy attacks by 25% same as the Flying ability from Pelacor Conjurer. Like Pelacor Conjurer can evade all kinds of attacks because has Phase ability. I use a double tanker cause I believe all enemies will attack from the front position and 1 tanker is not strong enough to handle it. |
 | Venari Spellsmith, 4th position, Attacker. Has the ability Dispels, Amplify, and Redemption, | The Redemption ability (after this monster dies will inflict 1 damage to all enemy monsters), in the low mana battle it may help to decrease the HP and kill the enemy monster. Dispel ability will delete all positive buff from the enemy in the first position, this is perfect for this battle, we need the enemy monster in the first position as weak as possible so we can kill it fast. I use this unit because of ** Amplify** ability. I will increase the damage of Magic Reflect from the Pelacor Conjurer. |
 | Dax Paragon, 5th position, attacker. Has the ability Amplify, Affliction. | Has same ** Amplify** ability like Venari Spellsmith. I used this unit because it has Affliction ability, if the enemy brings a monster with a heal ability, and hit by Affliction status it can't heal anymore. The chance of inflicting the Affliction status every time this monster attacks is 50%. |
 | Venari Crystalsmith, 6th position, attacker and support. Has the ability Tank Heal, and Dispel. | This is our Healer, it can heal monsters in the first position, and has Dispels ability like our Venari Spellsmith. |
Our Formation is finished and we are ready to battle :
Did your Strategy Work?
Yes, the strategy is working :
- After the enemy Pelacor Conjurer was hit by our Venari Marksrat the Flying ability was disabled making it easy to kill it.
- The enemy having a hard time killing our tanker Pelacor Conjurer cause we bring a summoner Lux Vega who can add speed by +1.
- After our Pelacor Conjurer Resurrects it brings back the Divine Shield again so the enemy needs many attackers to kill it again, while our attacker does not have too much trouble killing the enemy unit after the enemy Pelacor Conjurer die :
