THE BATTLE

This battle is a 61mana battle with broken arrows battle ruleset against a very strong opponent . My opponent uses eternal tofu as his archon summoning legendary dar 'gottem' gearnut, bera dallin, janni rebel, thanalorian blade, olivia of the brook and harbinger of chaos while i used cryptic as my archon summoning commander slade, giant alpine skink, helheim demon, baron fyatt, arachne weaver and thornmaw berserker.

In here my team is not a representation of a single monster but it is a team synergy using taunt, corrupted healing, halving and poison strategy where my team unleashing poison and causing halving while my opponent targeting my taunt monster and tank. As you can see the difference in health is husge while my opponent uses taunt with triage strategy but arachne weaver corrupted healing done a very good job while my team cause poison to multiple opponent that let my team catch upp on my opponent advantage and turn the battle in my favor.

MY STRATEGY AND POSITIONING

ARCHON	UNIT 1	UNIT 2	UNIT 3	UNIT 4	UNIT 5	UNIT 6
Cryptic	Commander Slade	Giant Alpine	Helheim Demon	Baron Fyatt	Arachne Weaver	Thornmaw Berserker

In this 61 mana battle with broken arrows battle ruleset against a very strong opponent my strategy is to used a taunt (helheim demon at 3rd position) , poison ( commander slade as tank and thornmaw berserker at last position ) with the help of corrupted healing (arachne weaver at 5th position ) to sustain my team health and halving ( baron fyatt at 4th position ) specially my opponent using high health monsters. Supported by giant alpine skink as secondary tank. The synergy of using taunt, poison , halving to opponent with corrupted healing to friendly unit works in here that i was able to get the lucky win.

.... Have a Great Weekend, Summoners! .....
