MY STRATEGY

Before starting the battle, when I was going to review the last 5 battles of the opposing player and considering the ruleset of the battle, I guessed that the opposing player would prefer the Magic Attack Monsters and I set my strategy accordingly.

Since I thought it would be advantageous for all monsters in my team to have +1 Armor, Void Armor Ability and Amplify Ability in this battle, I chose Grandmaster Rathe as the Summoner because Grandmaster Rathe is a Summoner that gives +1 Armor, Void Armor Ability, and Amplify Ability to all friendly monsters.

In the first position I will use the Magic Reflect Ability, and on the backline I will use the Taunt, Void, Triage and Repair Abilities. In this way, it would be much more difficult to destroy both the Monster in the first position and the Monster with the Taunt Ability and Void Ability.

Additionally, since I thought it might be very difficult to destroy the monster in the first position of the opposing team, I added 2 Monsters with Sneak Ability to my team, in this way I planned to destroy the backline of the opposing team, starting from the last position.

Position 1 : BLINDING REFLECTOR

Blinding Reflector is a Monster that can attack the target with a Malee Attack and has Magic Reflect Ability at level 5. The main reasons I added Blinding Reflector to the team was because it has the Magic Reflect Ability and 4 Armor, so I put it in the first position.

Position 2 : URAEUS

Uraeus is a Monster that can attack the target with Malee Attacks and has Sneak Ability from level 1. The main reason I added Uraeus to the team was because it has the Sneak Ability, and I put it in the second position.

• Sneak Ability : Targets the last Unit on the enemy Team instead of the first Unit.

Position 4 : ADELADE BRIGHTWING

Adelade Brightwing is a Monster that can attack the target with Magic Attacks and has Flying Ability, Repair Ability and Resurrect Ability at level 2. The main reasons I added Adelade Brightwing to the team was because it has Repair Ability and Resurrect Ability, and I put it in the fourth position.

• Repair Ability : Restores a third of max armor to the friendly Unit whose armor has taken the most damage.

• Taunt Ability : All enemy Units target this Unit (if they are able to).
• Void Ability : Reduced damage from Magic attacks by 50%.

BATTLE COMMENTS

Battle Link

To be honest, the opposing player's strategy was also very good and the opposing team was quite powerful. But I'm glad there are no Monsters with the Void Armor Ability or the Scattershot Ability on the opposing team, because these two abilities could have messed up my entire strategy.

• Scattershot Ability : Ranged and Magic attacks hit a random enemy target.

Round 1

In the first round, monsters from both teams attacked their targets effectively, but the enemy monsters were much more effective, especially the enemy Sneak Monsters, thanks to the Inspire Ability, attacked much more powerfully. It was not good for Stitch Leech to miss the target, but Magic Reflect Ability, Triage Ability, and Repair Ability were of great use to my team. No monsters could be destroyed in the first round.

• Inspire Ability : Gives all friendly Units +1 Melee attack.

Round 2

In the second round, all monsters continued to attack the target with all their might to win. But the Sneak Monsters in my team were having a hard time destroying Pelacor Bandit, and it wasn't good that Uraeus missed it too. Fortunately, Stitch Leech managed to destroy the Pelacor Bandit, but was brought back to life with 1 health thanks to the Resurrect Ability.

Enemy Monsters managed to destroy Iziar. To be honest, I did not expect Iziar to die so early, but fortunately, it brought back to life with 1 health thanks to the Resurrect Ability. At the end of the second round, all the monsters were still alive.

Round 3

In the third round, the opposing team managed to destroy Iziar, but now the enemy magic attack monsters had a bigger problem because they would attack Blinding Reflector. In this battle, Blinding Reflector had the Magic Reflect Ability, Void Armor Ability, and Amplify Ability, making it much easier to destroy the enemy magic attack monsters. In the third round, while 3 monsters from the opposing team were destroyed, only Iziar from my team could be destroyed.

Round 4

In the fourth round, the monsters on my team were much more effective and dealt serious damage to their targets, and the magic attack monsters on the opposing team took much more serious damage with the back damage caused by Blinding Reflector.

Even if the opposing team managed to destroy Blinding Reflector, they had no hope of winning the battle. At the end of the fourth round, only 2 monsters remained on the opposing team and they only had 2 health, so it wouldn't be difficult to destroy them in the 5th round.

Round 5

In the fifth round, although both monsters on the opposing team hit their targets, they could not destroy them. Uraeus destroyed Nerissa Tridawn and Adelade Brightwing destroyed Uraeus, the last remaining monster on the opposing team, and my team managed to win this tough battle.

The battle lasted 5 rounds, my strategy worked very well in this battle, so my team managed to win a quite challenging battle. Frankly, the abilites of all the monsters in my team were very useful in this battle, so I can say that there was complete team solidarity. That's why I take great care to use Taunt Ability, Triage Ability, Repair Ability, Resurrect Ability and Sneak Ability in such battles. It was indeed a very interesting battle. I recommend you to watch this great and quite challenging battle from the Battle Link. I hope you will like it.
