MY LINEUP
MY LINEUP | Considering Target Practice and Close Range rulesets, Ranged attack Monsters are the most suitable. I choose General Sloan as the Summoner to boost the Ranged damage. Cornealus, Lensmaster, and Pelacor Arbalest are my choice of the Ranged attack Monsters. They are quite popular nowadays especially Cornealus because of its heal ability. |
 | Low mana tank with quite a lot of Armor and Health. He is the best choice if we want to save mana for other Monsters although he doesn't have any ability and low attack. It doesn't matter because I need him to withstand attacks only. | |||
 | The 0 mana Monster as the second tank to withstand the enemy attack. | |||
 | I purposely put him in the third position as the enemy's Ranged and Magic attack Monsters will target and attack him first due to the Target Practice ruleset. He will cover the backline Monster from the attack. Luckily, he has a lot of Health and heal ability so won't be easy to get knocked out by the attacks. | |||
 | Attack the enemy Monster in the first position with Ranged damage. As the low mana Monster, he has quite high Speed and is suitable as the filler Monster or for the low mana battle. | |||
 | He has a Double Strike ability which makes him could do twice an attack per round. So if successfully hit the enemy Monsters then he will deal 6 damage to them. |

DID MY STRATEGY WORK?
- Yes, my strategy works effectively. I didn't expect the enemy will Lir Deepswimmer as the Summoner and Poseidon. He used a counter strategy for Ranged attack Monsters.
- Luckily, I have Cornealus on my team. He keeps healing himself each round. He also managed to evade attacks from Frost Giant which is a critical point in the battle. If he fails then he will knock out by Frost Giant.
AFTERTHOUGHTS
- Cornelius is a good monster plus he comes from Neutral splinter so he can be used in any battle with other splinters except for the Taking Side ruleset.
- He is suitable for high mana battle and rulesets namely Target Practice, Close Range, Noxious Fumes, etc.
- He has 3 abilities that can do damage back to the attacker. Awesome!
- Actually, this is my first time using him in my team and I was really impressed.
- The current selling price is $100 per BCX while the rental price is very volatile nowadays as many people have started using it since the new reward system.
