You know there are battles you will like to use some monsters to gamble with. The afternoon, when Scattershoot ability was given me, I began to rack my brain on the best strategy to use. This was because the last Scattershoot battle I played, I was defeated because of a little mistake I made.
I did not use New Beluroc Aegis and my opponent use Vengeful Monk which deleted and eliminated little sister. The moment Little Sister was eliminated, I knew I lost the battle already, and I skipped it.
The moment I saw the same battle rule I was given, I didn't hesitate to use another strategy. What I learned in the previous battle was the reason I used another strategy.

Monsters Arrangement
Nim Guard Captain
Splinter: Death
Level: 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Speed: 🚤🚤🚤
Ability: Void
Health: 4 ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Armor: 5 🪖🪖🪖🪖🪖
Attack: Melee
Mana: 7
Since I don't have a monster like Djinn Oshannus in this league, it is of my best interest to use my monster that was available. My best death monster to lead the lineup is the Nim Guard Captain; though I have other monsters which I can use in the first position, but the best out of them is Nim Guard Captain.
It was eliminated in the round 5, about 2 monsters I love the most were eliminated before Nim Guard Captain.
Black Widow
Splinter: Death
Level: 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Speed: 🚤🚤🚤
Ability: None
Health: 4 ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Armor: 2 🪖🪖
Attack: Range
Mana: 7
I like to use Black Widow in the second position because of its health and armor. It was very cleared at round 7 when Nim Guard Captain was eliminated, and Black Widow lead the lineup. It became difficult for the opponent's monsters to eliminate it due to its health and armor. Though it could not attack in the first position but was able to lead the battle to victory.
Sorrow Harvester
Splinter: Death
Level: 2 ⭐⭐
Speed: 🚤
Ability: Weaken
Health: 2 ❤️❤️
Attack: Magic
Mana: 7
I have to very clinical when using Sorrow Harvester and Little Sister. One of the strategies I use whenever I used Sorrow Harvester and Little Sister was to used New Beluroc Aegis, if not because of this monster Vengeful Monk would have eliminated both monsters.
Sorrow Harvester was eliminated in the second round of the battle; I believe that if it has more than 5 health, it won't be easy for the opponent's monsters to eliminate it.
Little Sister
Splinter: Death
Level: 3 ⭐⭐
Speed: 🚤🚤🚤
Ability: Life Leech and Flying
Health: ❤️
Attack: Magic
Mana: 6
Little Sister was the first monster that was eliminated in my lineup. Before it was eliminated, it attacked opponent’s Nim Guard Captain. Looking at the previous battle, I like to use Little Sister because of its magic attack and leech ability.
New Beluroc Aegis
Splinter: Death
Level: 3 ⭐⭐⭐
Speed: 🚤🚤
Ability: Taunt
Health: 4 ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Armor: 4 🪖🪖🪖🪖
Attack: Melee
Mana: 8
The purpose of bringing New Beluroc Aegis was the Taunt ability. Without the monster, Vengeful Monk would have attacked and eliminated Little Sister. Little Sister wouldn't have had a chance to attack in this battle. If not because of the Scattershoot rule in this battle, Little Sister would have not been eliminated.
If you watch the battle very well, New Beluroc Aegis was not eliminated in this battle.
Kanaaq Miner
Splinter: Death
Level: 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Speed: 🚤🚤🚤
Ability: Sneak
Health: 6 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Attack: Melee
Mana: 5
After carefully selection, only 5 mana was left for me to decide and I picked Kanaaq Miner. That was one of the monsters that fits this battle.
I wanted to pick Grand Consul Minion, but I realized it cannot that its health is not up to Kanaaq Consul Minion*, and I can not attack in the front position.
If it was Grand Consul Minion, it would have been eliminated in this battle.
In conclusion, I believe a player can replicate another player strategies; the previous one I played, I did not use New Beluroc Aegis and by the end of round 3, all my monsters were eliminated. The moment I watched the strategy my opponent used, and applied the same strategy when I was given Scattershoot, I won the battle.
This battle was important for me, because I was left with a battle to claim the third reward for today.
