MY LINEUP

Card Image	Debuff	Element	Strategy
	-1 magic attack & -1 health	Death	Taking into account the ruleset and monster options that I had. I chose to use Death splinter because in that splinter I had monsters that were effective for the earthquake ruleset such as Riftwing and Lira the Dark. The opponent most likely will use Death splinter and Waka as the summoner based on his previous battles.

Position	Name	Card Image	Ability	Strategy
1st	Cursed Windeku		Heal & Thorns	Cursed Windeku lv6 has 3 melee attacks, 3 speeds, and 10 health. Besides his great stats, he also has Thorns and Heal abilities. He is my mainstay and favorite tank in the Death splinter. Hopefully, he could survived at least until round 2.
2nd	Silent Sha-vi		Sneak & Cripple	Silent Sha-vi lv 6 has 3 attacks, 5 speeds and 6 health. He also has Sneak and Cripple abilities. He will attack the opponent's monster in the last position.
3rd	Riftwing		Flying, Scavenger, & Backfire	Riftwing lv6 has 4 speeds and 7 health. He has Flying and Scavenger abilities that really useful and effective in the Earthquake ruleset. He would not be affected by the earthquake ruleset and his health would increase every time a monster died no matter allies or opposing monsters. I put him in the 3rd position as a backup tank for back-line Monsters.
4th	Lira the Dark		Opportunity, Snare, & Swiftness	Lira the Dark lv3 has 3 ranged attacks, 3 speeds, and 6 health. She could remove the opponent's monster flying ability with her snare ability. I believe the opponent will use monsters with the flying ability. Besides the snare ability, she also could increase the speed of her allies. As we know that speed is important to determine the chance of the first attack in the battle except for reverse speed ruleset.
5th	Dhampir Stalker		Truestrike & Deathblow	Dhampir Stalker lv5 has 4 Ranged attacks, 3 speeds, and 6 health. He is a huge damage dealer and his attack could not miss because of the truestrike ability. He will focus on attacking the opponent's monster in the first position.
6th	Supply Runner		Swiftness	Supply Runner lv6 has 2 Ranged attacks, 4 speeds, and 6 health. He could increase the speed of his allies with his ability. A combination of the Swiftness ability from Lira the Dark and Supply Runner will increase their and allies' speed up to 2 levels.

ROUND 1

• The opponent used the Death splinter.
• The opponent's lineups are Waka Spiritblade lv3 (Summoner), Dark Ha'On lv3 (1st position), Haunted Spirit lv6 (2nd position), Phantom Soldier lv5 (3rd position), Silent Sha-vi lv8 (4th position), Lira the Dark lv3 (5th position ), and Doctor Blight lv3 in the last position.

• Round 1 started with buff and debuff process by both team as follows :

• My Lira the Dark attacked first and managed to destroy Dark Ha'on's armors. She also managed to remove the Dark Ha'on's flying ability.
• My Monsters focus on attacking Dark Ha'on as he has the taunt ability.
• Cursed Windeku managed to kill Dark Ha'on.
• Riftwing and Doctor Blight gain 1 additional health after Dark Ha'on died.
• Haunted Spirit attacked Cursed Windeku and gave 4 damage but he also got 2 damage back because of Cursed Windeku's Thorns ability.

Summary :

• My Lira the Dark did a great job. She managed to eliminate the flying ability of Dark Ha'on. Otherwise, there's a chance that my monster's attack will miss when they attacked Dark Ha'on.

DID MY STRATEGY WORK?

• Yes, my strategy is working effectively even do the opponent's has higher level Monsters.

• The difference in speed level is one of the decisive factors for victory in this battle.

CONCLUSION

• Lira the Dark is a really good Monster with her stats and abilities. She is one of the best Monsters from Chaos Legion edition.
• Combination of cards from Chaos Legion edition and previous edition will create a new strategy, combos, and of course new headache😂.
