Introduction

Prophet Rosa is one of the most balanced summoners in the game offering both offensive and defensive options. Her abilities make her really good for many different battle scenarios. Whether you need extra range damage or a shield to defend your team, she has you covered.

However, what really makes Prophet Rosa stand out is the difference between her two abilities. Unlike other summoners, she doesn’t focus too much on just offense or defense. This makes her a solid pick for players who want to abuse the Tactics Stage in setting up their wins.

If you’re looking for a summoner that complements a variety of team setups, Prophet Rosa is a good choice. She fits well with many combos making her a favorite for both new and experienced players.

Prophet Rosa is a Rare Summoner, so you don’t need too many cards to level her up. She provides a +2 range damage buff and the Shield ability to selected monsters for her team. These abilities make her a strong choice for both offense and defense whichever the situation requires.

Between the two abilities, Shield ability is what I most often used. It's very useful as it halves the damage of 2/3 of the damage type in the game. Range damage is also delayed by simply adding armor as it cannot pass through armor unless your monster has Piercing ability. This makes Shield a lot better in most circumstances.

💊 Abilities 💊

Prophet Rosa's Tactics: [Summoner Tactics] During the battle, you can choose one set of abilities to be applied to a number of monsters you control.

Set 1: Give Up to 2 Monsters ' +2 Range' Abilities

+2 Range
[Stat Modifier] Positive Status] A number of friendly monsters has their Range Damage increased by 2.

Set 2: Give Up to 1 Monster 'Shield' Abilities

Shield [Defense] Monsters with Shield ability reduces the incoming melee and range damage by half. If the damage is 1, before the effect applies, the damage is negated and becomes 0.

Pros

Most balanced Rebellion summoner in the game. Prophet Rosa is the most balanced Rebellion summoner in the game right now. She has both offensive and defensive abilities allowing you to adjust your strategy based on the battle and opponent's lineup.
Prophet Rosa complements any combo that includes a Void and Healer. Prophet Rosa works great with combos like Wave Brood and Angelic Mandarin or Baakjira and Merdaali Guardian. Her Shield ability adds to their survivability as the healer restores some of the damage they get.
Summoner Tactics have a lot of options. Water Splinter has monsters like Wave Brood with Void ability and Swamp Spitter with range damage. Prophet Rosa’s abilities enhance both their defense and offense, making her a versatile choice.

Cons

Not allowed in some rules of combat like Little League.
Prophet Rosa’s 5 mana cost means she can’t be used in Little League Rules of Combat. This can be frustrating if you rely on her for your strategy.
Expensive to rent for a summoner with no abilities that affect all monsters.
While not as costly as Legendary summoners, Prophet Rosa’s rental price can add up. Players on a budget might find it hard to rent at max level because of this.
Expose ability can remove both Shield and Void which threatens Prophet Rosa's combos.
Expose ability can remove Shield or Void which are key to Prophet Rosa’s combos. This makes her less effective against teams with Expose monsters. The good thing is that there's a not a lot of monsters that has Expose ability and I rarely see them in battle. The bad thing is they still exist.

	^{Going the Distance}	During this battle, only monsters with range damage type are allowed: Prophet Rosa’s 2 extra range damage shines here.

Rank	Monsters	Description
	^Baakjira	Baakjira’s high health, Heal and Void abilities pair well with Shield. This makes him a durable tank if you don't need Wave Brood's Taunt.
	^Diemonshark	Diemonshark becomes even better in melee only battles with Shield. It’s a strong anti melee option that can hold the front line on his own taking opponents as he does so.
	^{Wave Brood}	Wave Brood is a great match for Prophet Rosa. It uses her Shield ability for defense and extra range damage for offense.

Prophet Rosa is a very flexible summoner. She has both offensive and defensive abilities which allows me to use whichever is needed at the right moment. If I need more damage, add +2 range damage to both Wave Brood and Angelic Mandarine increasing their damage from 2 to 4 each. If I need more defense, put the Shield ability on either my main tank, Baakjira, or Wave Brood, depending on whom would take a more melee and range damage.

Lineup

^{Prophet Rosa}

A balanced summoner offering both offense with the +2 range damage and defense with Shield ability. She can adjusts to your team’s needs during the Tactics Stage.

^Baakjira

A strong tank with Void, Heal and high health. Shield from Prophet Rosa makes him even harder to take down if needed. He can also be a target for Weapons Training for further damage.

^{Daarg Deadblast}

Adds damage to Baakjira through Weapons Training. Triage helps support Wave Brood. Just a perfect monster to connect both tanks.

^{Daigendark Surveyor}

I had 2 extra mana so I added a filler monster for Weapons Training. Daigendark Surveyor can be replaced with Merdaali Guardian for more defense if mana allows.

^Deeplurker

Strong Opportunity monster that breaks through defenses. He is there to deal with the opponent's supports behind the tanks.

^{Angelic Mandarin}

Complements Wave Brood and Baakjira with Silence and range damage. He also has Triage to restore any damage for Wave Brood. Prophet Rosa’s buffs can enhance his damage if you need more.

^{Wave Brood}

A top-tier Taunt monster for Water Splinter. Shield and range buffs make it both offensive and defensive depending on what the situation demands.

In this battle, since the opponent only has 1 melee monster and I think Baakjira can outheal the damage, I just decided to increase Wave Brood and Angelic Mandarin's damage by adding 2 extra range damage to them.

My lineup usually considers all angles and that is how I like to play my games and Prophet Rosa compliments this strategy a lot. This is the main reason she is an S-tier for me as a summoner.
