This match is between ranking champions. The following rule sets were included in the game: Broken Arrows, Explosive Weaponry, and Lost Legendaries. Only Water and Life were inactive in this 28-mana game. Lorkus and I moved ahead and put Halfling Refugee in front. I followed up with Umbral Elemental and Ujurak Elder. Kelan Gaines was the last person on the team. In the final spot, they also selected Kelan Gaines, Lorkus, and Halfling Refugee. But they used Dark Arborist, Chaos Animator, and Arachne Weaver in place of Ujurak Elder and Umbral Elemental.
I gave Halfling and Kelan Affliction and Life Leech. They assigned Kelan and Weaver the same strategies. Their Dark Arborist was reduced to 4 HP and afflicted by my Kelan's assaults, but the nearby troops also sustained some damage. My Umbral was set to 4 by their Kelan, yet Affliction was not triggered. Arborist's Magic Reflect caused Umbral to kill their Refugee and drop to three. My Refugee completed it after Ujurak reduced the Arborist to two. After being attacked by the Weaver, the Umbral managed to live at 1 HP. My Kelan reduced the Weaver to just 2 HP in round two. In the end, their Kelan attacked my Kelan and murdered Umbral. Only Kelan remained on their side after Halfling's strike destroyed their two units. Their Kelan dropped to two in the next round, increased its HP to six, and avoided Ujurak's strike. The refugee became tired as well. It did not matter, though, because my Kelan got rid of it in round 4.
