Hello everyone. Thank you for your time spending to read this post. Today I want to share a battle with Cruel Sethropod. Hope you would like it.
Introduction of Cruel Sethropod
Cruel Sethropod is a low cost melee attack monster in Water desk. With only 1 melee attack power and 1 speed mean that it is not a strong monster. No any ability added on it but its’ armor and health is very good. That’s mean it is a good tank monster placing at the front during low mana battle.
Here is a list of some monsters that suitable be a tank during low mana battle.
The Battle rule
It was a normal Mana battle that can be use 28 manas.
Target Practice: All Ranged and Magic attack Monsters have the Snipe ability.
Only Earth desk cannot be used in this battle. Because of the battle rules, select a no attack with high health, Magic or Ranged monster in position 2 with Shield, Void, Magic Reflect, Return Fire. Triage abilities will be good for the team.
Caladuum and Djinn Oshannus are one of High health Magic monsters with Void ability.
Lobstradamus and Poseidon, both of them were water desk monster with Shield. And a Lv3 Lobstradamus will add Magic Reflect ability
Centauri Mage and Lv2 Red Dragon had Return fire ability.
Furthermore, high speed and high magic or range attack power monsters will be my first choose. High speed always important in the battle. My team can destroy enemy’s magic or range monster as quick as possible.
So Water desk with Summoners Kelya Frendul is my choose, there are some high speed magic or range attack monster in my card desk. OK, let’s see my team lineup.
My Team
Summoners: Kelya Frendul (Level 3)
A very good and more affordable summoner in water desk. It can increase 1 speed and 1 armor for the whole team.
First position: Cruel Sethropod (Level 1)
The theme of this week. Cruel Sethropod is my tank in this 28 manas battle. Its’ low mana cost that can save more manas for my main attacker in the lineup. I wish its’ armors and health value can be given around 2 rounds protection for the team.
Second position: Djinn Oshannus (Level 2)
My first main attacker in my lineup. Djinn Oshannus had high health with Void ability, it can reduce 1 magic damage. That’s mean no damage will be provided if enemy’s magic monster had only one magic attack power. Furthermore, a level 2 Djinn Oshannus had Phase ability, it can help Djinn Oshannus dodges the magic attack. I also want it dodges the range attack by its’ high speed.
Third position: Creeping Ooze (Level 1)
After increase +1 speed by Kelya Frendul, I use Creeping Ooze to reduce 1 speed to my enemy. An important support monster that can increase the chance of the team monster to attack enemy first.
Fourth position: Spirit Hoarder (Level 2)
Another support monster. I need its’ Triage ability to heal the monster in the back. In this battle ruleset, Djinn Oshannus will be the first target of the magic or range attacker of my enemy. Spirit Hoarder can recover the health of Djinn Oshannus when it get hurt.
Fifth position: Axemaster (Level 1)
Another main attacker with high speed, I need its’ double strike ability. It can provide 4 damage to my enemy each round.
Last position: Ice Pixie (Level 2)
My last monster is Ice Pixie. One more high speed attacker in this lineup. I also want it can protect the back line of the team by its’ speed and flying ability.
Notes: The weakness of my lineup is the backline. If my enemy use many Sneak ability monsters, the backline of my team will very easy to break through.

At start, after all summoners/monster abilities added. My team had speed advantage, most of the speed of enemy‘s monster had reduced to 1. Their first three monster will be destroyed before round 2. They did not had any Sneak monsters so I had no needed to worry. My Djinn Oshannus only got 2 damages in this round, their range attack easy miss in slow speed. Those damages will recovered by Spirit Hoarder.
In round 2 to round 4, my team used three rounds to destory the Cornealus. My Cruel Sethropod was defending well at front. My enemy always missed their attack.
In round 5, after the Cornealus were down. Their remain monster was not the problem.
Finally, I win this battle.
Conclusion:
The main point that I can win this battle because of the speed different beteen the two team. Place the Djinn Oshannus at P2 also a main point too. It was given the team a well defense from my enemy. However, if I am facing another water desk that had high speed Opportunity ability monster in their lineup. The result will be different.
The Cruel Sethropod finished his mission be a little tank at front. Very nice.
