Peace
Beautiful day,
What a windy weather on the plain area of Pretoria, I wish you a good day as explorer and magnificent warriors.
How was your journey during the past seven days of the season restarting?
I had a great time in the battle arena and learn how to use the newly released Reward Cards.
It was one of my strategies research activities that led to the powerful encounter of Arkemis against Sea Monster.
I am sure you have not seen anything as intense as this melee combat.

Overview of the combat as the first round started.
As I saw the rulesets and the importance of defensive measure, I understood why both players chose to bring Kelya on the board.
It was a serious battle where the unique strategy of defense healing while performing a brilliant offensive would make the difference.
Do you think that Speed and Armored shield only can help one team to take the victory in this game?

B - Hero in the arena
Sea Monster hold his position until the final encounter in the arena when this creature defeated Arkemis. I like the healing and thorns damage this card created to the enemy warriors.
His healing ability, large offensive weapons and thorns damage caused the balance of power in the arena to shift rapidly on the side of Sea Monster.
This melee only battle gathered sea warriors in the arena. It was interesting to analyze this combat. I observe the similarity in the position of specific fighters. The presence of special abilities such as inspire, thorns and healing are capital in the understanding of the winner strategy.
Arkemis team had a good plan with speed and ability that create the high probability for the enemy to miss their strikes. However, the opponent had healing and could recover until the last round.

My opinion on this battle
The strategy that consists of placing in a melee only battle warriors with the abilities to use thorns, Inspire, and Heal is the game winning selection.
Defensive measure like shield and speed can only buy the selection some time until the inevitable reality hit.
I have learned some new tricks during this battle. I hope that you did find something of value to build a more successful lineup.

Inspire ability gave a serious advantage to Sea monster team. The round 9 was the critical phase in this exchange of attacks.
Arkemis resisted as long as he could survive the damage from Sea Monster, and finally lost his stand in the 14th round.
