Defeating Strong Opponents Under Challenging Rulesets — A Brilliant Victory!

These types of rulesets are very good when you start getting double damage dealing in a battle and the monster with the highest power attacks first. These are very interesting rulesets and you have to select your monsters according to them.

Remember that in any battle understanding the rulesets correctly gives you a 50% chance of winning. If you understand the rulesets properly select your monsters accordingly and position them correctly then without any doubt you have already gained a 50% chance of victory in that battle.

Today's 52 mana battle was very interesting and confusing as well because monster selection is not an easy task in these types of rulesets. Now you need to select the best monsters from your deck and enter the battle with a proper strategy and planning.

In today's battle we saw three difficult rulesets that were important to understand first. So let's learn about these rulesets and then see which strategy I adopted and which monsters I preferred.

Ruleset 1: Heavy Hitters

According to this ruleset all units whether they belong to the enemy team or the allied team gain the Knock Out ability. With Knock Out if the target is stunned it will receive double damage.

This means that according to this ruleset your monster with the Stun ability becomes very powerful because whenever it stuns a monster that stunned monster will receive double damage.

Therefore under this ruleset you should select the monsters in your deck that have the Stun ability and position them properly.

Ruleset 2: Fallen Legends

According to this ruleset you are not allowed to summon Legendary Archons.

Apart from that you can select any of the other Archons you have and build your team accordingly.

Ruleset 3: Brute Force

According to this ruleset the unit with the highest attack power will attack first.

For example I have a monster in my deck whose attack power is the highest which is four. According to this ruleset that monster will attack first in the round. The advantage of this is that weaker units can be eliminated from the battle immediately.

Therefore under this ruleset it is important to adopt a strategy in which you must select the monster with the highest attack power. Its positioning is also very important.

What strategy did I plan according to these rulesets?

First of all I selected an Archon with the ability to provide +1 Health. This means that the health of all my allied units will increase by one giving them additional health and making them stronger.

After that I selected a strong tank monster for the frontline that also has two Melee Attack power. Then in the second position I selected a monster with the Reach ability. This allows it to continue performing Melee Attacks while remaining in the second position.

In the third position I again selected a monster with high health and heavy attack power.

In the fourth and fifth positions I placed a mixed combination of strong Ranged Attackers and Magic Attackers. Their job is to attack the enemy units continuously and aggressively while dealing heavy damage to them.

Finally I selected another Melee Attacker with the Opportunity ability. It will target the enemy units that have the lowest health.

On The Battlefield

When I looked at the lineups of my team and the enemy team on the battlefield the situation was quite confusing because both sides had selected heavy hitters. The good thing was that neither side had a monster with the Stun ability that could take advantage of the first ruleset.

Nevertheless it was an excellent monster selection.

From Round One to Round Two both teams delivered some excellent attacks. All the monsters on both teams remained alive for two rounds because in high-mana battles players usually select monsters with high health. As a result all the monsters survived.

As soon as Round Three started two enemy units had been eliminated by this stage and my frontline monster was also eliminated. However I made a mistake because I had positioned my Ranged Attacker incorrectly which prevented it from attacking.

In Round Four another one of my monsters was eliminated and one enemy monster was also eliminated. In this situation the battle was left with three of my monsters against four enemy monsters.

Even then my position was still quite strong.

In Round Five the entire situation of the battle changed because the strong attacks from the enemy side were coming from Kicking Roc. As soon as it came to the frontline it stopped being able to attack because a Ranged Attacker cannot attack from the first position.

At this point my victory became certain. By the end of the same round which was Round Five all the enemy units had been eliminated while four of my units were still alive.

This is exactly why if you understand the rulesets correctly and select and position your monsters accordingly you can achieve an excellent victory like this.
