Hi, today I'm about to write a post featuring a battle in Melee Mayhem ruleset from analyzing a top battle from bronze league.
The battle that I'm about to analyze was between Viviana13 and Cactus.Flower where Viviana13 won the battle.
A little info about the battle:
With Waka Spiritblade as summoner, Viviana13 used six monsters which are: Lord Arianthus, Shadowy Presence, Corpse Fiend, Therosa Nightshade, Disintegrator, Doctor Blight.
And with Zintar Mortalis as summoner, Cactus.Flower also used six monsters which are: Lord Arianthus, Haunted Spirit, Lord of Darkness, Furious Chicken, Carrion Shade, Corpse Fiend.

Melee attackers normally can't attack from the first position as per the game rule without having any special abilities like reach, sneak, opportunity (maybe there's more). But this particular ruleset allows melee attackers to attack from any position no matter if it has any ability or not.
Summoner of Viviana13 provided poison ability to all their friendly monsters and the summoner of Cactus.Flower decreased a melee damage of a monster of Viviana13. Both team chose melee attackers for various places and when Cactus.Flower chose a summoner that decrease melee damage of opponent monsters, Viviana13 chose Disintegrator who decreased one melee damage of two opponent monsters.
The Battle
Both team chose their lineup with great strategies according to the ruleset. After Therosa Nightshade of Viviana13 took its chance to poison the opponent's Lord Arianthus, both teams Corpse Fiend attacked opponent Lord Arianthus and all these attacks brought zero damage as both Lord Arianthus had shield and void ability that reduces damage from melee and magic attacks.
Then Lord of Darkness of Cactus.Flower damaged one health of the opponent Lord Arianthus and then two more melee monsters attacked the same opponent monster but brought zero damage. Now the rest two monsters of Viviana13 attacked the opponent Lord Arianthus but failed to damage anything.
The first round ended, only Lord Arianthus of Viviana13 lost one health and nothing else changed except all monsters of Viviana13 poisoned the opponent Lord Arianthus.
The new round started with Lord Arianthus of Cactus.Flower losing two health to poison and then the same damn concept repeated in this round where only Lord Arianthus of Viviana13 lost one health to the damage of the opponent's Lord of Darkness and all other attacks were evaded by both Lord Arianthus.
The same thing happened in the next round as well including the Lord Arianthus of Cactus.Flower losing two health to poison and I noticed Lord Arianthus of Viviana13 was losing one health in each round when the other one was losing two so that's a plus point for Viviana13.
Lord Arianthus of Cactus.Flower died in the fourth round the concept now started having different twists. Now Haunted Spirit of Cactus.Flower lost four health throughout the whole round and did healing of two health as well when the opponent Lord Arianthus lost only one health again.
There was another round where the Haunted Spirit was almost killed if it was not for its heal ability but it didn't come to any help as this monster died at the very beginning in the next round for poison damage. And in the same round, Lord of Darkness killed the opponent Lord Arianthus and lost itself two health and two armor. The monsters of Cactus.Flower started damaging the health of Shadowy Presence.
After losing two health to poison damage in the next round, Lord of Darkness killed the Shadowy Presence. Then I thought monsters of Viviana13 would kill Lord of Darkness but unfortunately, Viviana13 lost two monsters next.
Doctor Blight damaged one health of Lord of Darkness and Disintegrator also tried to do some but there was no damage. Then the Lord of Darkness died to poison damage in the next round. Now Cactus.Flower had only two melee attackers with tiny health portions when the opponent team had one melee monster with three armor and good health along with another monster.
Disintegrator was missing its melee damage on Carrion Shade with flying ability and the poison was not working on this Carrion Shade so Doctor Blight kept damaging one health of Carrion Shade each round and then killed it after all. Then Disintegrator finished off the last opponent monster.
Disintegrator of Viviana13 did the last attack and went for victory and the strategy of both team was really great. Viviana13 did better choosing the summoner that provides poison ability otherwise this team was sure to be the loser.
I'll analyze another battle later.
