THE RULESET
The rule is composed of Explosive Weaponry and Reverse Speed. The available mana is 28 and the active elements are fire, water, life, and dragon.
The first rule is explosive weaponry. In this rule, all monsters will have the blast ability. The best strategy in this kind of rule is to have fast monsters with Snipe, Sneak, and Opportunity. Having monsters with shield and void abilities is such a great help in this rule.
Another one is the reverse speed rule. Monsters with the lowest Speed attack first and have the highest chance of evading attacks. the strategy in this rule is picking monsters with low speed ideally from 1 or 2 because they have the best chance of evading Melee and Ranged attacks. Beware of monsters with Enrage and Last Stand, these abilities increase speed when activated.
As you can see, the two rules have opposite strategies.
The strategy in explosive weaponry is to choose monsters with high speed whereas the strategy in reverse speed is to choose those with low speed.
Let's see how will my lineup defend my team in this battle.
MY LINE UP
My summoner in this battle is General Sloan who gives an additional ranged attack to its team members with the same attack.
My tank is Chaos Knight. It has a shield ability that reduces the damage from melee and ranged attacks. Luckily, my opponent also used General Sloan as his summoner, the additional ranged attack given by this summoner is useless on the part of my enemy because of this ability of Chaos Knight. It also does double damage against targets that costs 10 or more mana. It has a melee attack of 3.
Second in line is Portal Spinner with the scattershot ability. This ability enables a monster to attack a random enemy target, it can be in the front, in the middle, or monsters at the back. This monster's attack is ranged.
On the third row, I decided to put Truthspeaker which gives 2 armor to its teammates with its Protect Ability. This monster is truly a great help in this battle since only range and melee attack monsters were used in the game and the armor was the one who is damaged first before the monster's hp.
The fourth and fifth positions are monsters with the same statistics. Herbalist and Xenith Archer don't have any ability on level one but both of them have the range attack and their speed is only 1.
Last in line is Pelacor Arbalest with the Double Strike ability. This monster can attack twice in a round using a ranged attack.
