MY LINEUP

Card Image	Buff	Element	Strategy
	+1 Melee attack & +1 Health	Fire	Taking into account the Melee Mayhem ruleset, I chose Fire splinter and Tarsa as the Summoner. Tarsa's buff will give an advantage in the ruleset. I believe that the enemy will use Melee attack Monsters, so I will focus on Melee attack Monsters and will use 2 Monsters with Demoralize ability so the Melee attack of enemy Monsters will be reduced twice.

Position	Name	Card Image	Ability	Strategy
1st	Legionnaire Alvar		Void Armor, Giant Killer, & Demoralize	Legionnaire Alvar lv3 has 3 Melee attacks, 2 Speed, 9 Armors, and 6 health. He is a strong tank to withstand all kinds of attacks ( Melee, Ranged & Magic ) due to his stats and Void Armor ability. He also has Demoralize ability which is useful in the Melee Mayhem ruleset when people usually will use more Melee attack Monsters.
2nd	Disintegrator		Demoralize & Trample	Disintegrator lv 6 has 3 Melee attacks, 2 Speed, 3 Armors, and 6 health. He has the same ability as Legionnaire Alvar which is Demoralize ability. A combination of the Demoralize ability from 2 Monsters will make the enemy Melee attack Monsters reduced by 2 attacks.
3rd	Radiated Scorcher		Shatter	Radiated Scorcher lv6 has 1 Melee attack, 3 Speed, and 2 health. He has Shatter ability which could destroy enemy Monsters's armor in one hit. He is worthy for 1 mana cost.
4th	Antoid Platoon		Shield, Scavenger	Antoid Platoon lv 6 has 2 Melee attacks, 2 Speed, 2 armors, and 3 health. I put him in the 4th position to prevent him die earlier. He has Scavenger ability which could gain 1 health each monster died. Hopefully, he already has a lot of health when the frontline Monsters are killed.
5th	Scorch Fiend		-	Scorch Fiend lv3 has 2 attacks, 3 Speed, and 1 health. I put him in the last position in order to cover Antoid Platoon from the Sneak attack.

• Disintegrator managed to kill Demented Shark for the second time.
• Antoid Platoon gains total 2 health after Scorch Fiend and Demented Shark died.

ROUND 3

Summary of round 3 :

• Pelacor Bandit attacked Antoid Platoon but couldn't give any damage because of his low attack and Antoid Platoon's Shield ability.
• Cruel Sethropod managed to kill Legionnaire Alvar.
• Antoid Platoon managed to kill Cruel Sethropod at the end of round 3.
• Antoid Platoon gains total 2 health after Legionnaire Alvar and Cruel Sethropod died.

ROUND 4

Summary of round 4 :

• Antoid Platoon tried to attack Hellondale but missed.
• Disintegrator managed to kill Hellondale at the end of round 4.
• Antoid Platoon gains 1 health after Hellondale died.

• After Hellondale died, I ensured my victory in this battle because the opponent only left 3 Monsters that have low attack and health. I finished the battle at round 8 and still have 3 Monsters.

DID MY STRATEGY WORK?

• Yes, my strategy works effectively.

• Fortunately, I used Monsters with the Demoralization ability because it turned out that the enemy was using Monsters with the Inspire ability.

CONCLUSION

• Legionnaire Alvar is a really good tank but costs big mana.
• He is not recommended for low mana battle.
• We need to level up him until level 3 to have the Demoralize ability and it will cost around $42.7 at the current market price.
