Social Media Challenge | Sneak or not to Sneak, that is the question! 🤪

This week I brought a Wild Ranked battle, where I will try a different strategy than starting killing my opponent monsters starting with their tank and instead I will try to kill their backline monsters first to reduce their threat. 😅

Hope you will enjoy the battle like I did! 😇

The mana cap was 37, which is not much, but allows me to use few higher mana cost key monsters in order to creat a team, which I can use to destroy my opponent monsters. 😇

The Deflection Field ruleset will give the Deflect ability to all the monsters on the battlefield, which means that they are not going to take any reflected and Blast damage at all.

The Weak Magic is not that big of an issue, but it is worthwhile to think that the Magic attack monster will hit the Armor of their enemies, so it would be better to use different monsters instead of them unless you have a nice strategy in mind. 😁

The Pembrook Nymph cost 6 mana, which means that she is quite pricey for this ruleset, but her ability is to give +1 Health to all of her frendly monsters, which is also not that strong. On the otherhand her last ability to bring one additional Gladiator monster into this battle is amazing, which could be a huge advantage over my opponent. 💪

Noa the Just is quite cheap costing only 5 mana and compared to his mana cost he has quite a lot of Health and Armor in return, so he was the perfect choice to use him as my tank. He also has strong features such as his high Speed and the Rust ability, which will decrease all the enemy armors by two as long as he is alive. 🤗

The Kulu Mastermind is a very special monster, because he has the Weapons Training ability, so he will give his own attack to the non-attack monsters adjacent of him. Thanks to his Opportunity ability he will be able to attack any position of my backline to attack the lowest Health monster from the enemy backline. 😇

The Clockwork Aide doesnt have any attack on its own, so he relies solely on my Kulu Mastermind to get a nice amount of Melee attack. He has only one Health, but a loads of Armor, so he is a perfect monster with the Weak Magic ruleset. He also has the Rust ability to further remove the enemy Armors by two and also the Swiftness ability, which will increase the Speed of all of his friendly monsters by one. 😌

Isgald Vorst will be my key Gladiator monster in this battle and that is why I brought Pembrook Nymph as a Summoner. He is a Melee attack monster and he has the Opportunity like my Kulu Mastermind, so he will be able to attack the lowest Health monster from the enemy team and if he manages to kill them he will increase his own stat by one using his Bloodlust ability. 😌

The Pelacor Bandit is a very nice budget monster who doesn't cost a lot of mana, but offers great Melee attack damage and amazing Speed. His most important feature other than these is his Sneak attack, which means that he will always target the last monster from the enemy team. 😋

The Venari Wavesmith is one of my favorite low mana cost monster, because he cost only 5 mana and he has nice amount of damage, but on top of that he has the ability to provide +2 Armor to his allies, which makes him truly amazing. 😎

My opponent brought the Kelya Frendul who is a Water Summoner and such he has quite good monsters in every range. His ability is to give +1 Speed and Armor to all of his monsters, which is amazing, because he allows his monsters to block one full Melee or Ranged attack. 😊

In the first round my monsters with the Opportunity attacks targeted their Venari Marksrat who had the lowest Health amongst the other monsters. This tactic from my opponent was very good, because when he died he increased the stats of his adjacent monsters by one. On top of that their Hellondale got him back to life with one Health using his Resurrection ability, so he died and activated his Martyr ability twice. 😉

Luckily in the second round my Isgald Vorst killed their Swamp Spitter, so my opponent lost a very important monster and also made my Isgald stronger, because he was able to use his Bloodlust ability. Sadly I also lost my Noa as well just before the round ended.

In the third round Isgald managed to kill another monster from their backline further boosted himself up and even thought I lost my Kulu Mastermind their Diemonshark was badly damaged and died in the end of the round.

My opponent had their strong Ranged attack monster fell into the first position, so she was unable to fight from there, but they still survived the fourth round.

It was quite easy to finish their two remaining monsters in the sixth round and allowed me to win this battle. My strategy worked pretty well trying to kill their backline first and destryoing their squishy damage dealers using our monsters with the Opportunity and Sneak abilities. 🤗
