The Lava Spider has that spicy little ranged snipe whilst boasting decent speed and health to make it quite troublesome from the backline. I personally like employing it to target the weaker backline of enemy teams.

The Strategy
It was a Silver League, 24 Mana battle with Close Range. I was initially leaning towards Pyre to take advantage of some higher speed monsters but my team composition came in at 23 mana. I opted for the Tarsa to then boost the health of the team as a whole.
| Position | Card | Level | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| Summoner | Tarsa | 4 | Extra Health and extra Melee damage for the team with more Melee monsters than Ranged. |
| Position 1 | Living Lava | 2 | High damage, high health and Shield to tank damage and hit hard. |
| Position 2 | Radiated Brute | 5 | Reach allowing attacks from the second position but also a viable option as second tank with decent hitpoints. |
| Position 3 | Scorch Fiend | 1 | Legendary Fire Chicken to take a hit before the rest of the team does. |
| Position 4 | Tenyii Striker | 4 | A very strong card with decent damage, sneak, dodge and high hitpoints |
| Position 5 | Lava Spider | 5 | Our star of the week with Snipe and decent damage to take out the enemy backline. |
| Position 6 | Furious Chicken | 1 | A zero mana cost to tank a hit for the backline monsters. |
The Result
The battle started with our Lava Spider taking out the opposing, Chaos Agent. Our Tenyii Stiker then took out the enemy, Radiated Scorcher in a swift blow. The enemy Serpentine Spy then destroyed our Scorch Fiend, whilst their Tenyii Striker slew our Furious Chicken. Our Living Lava held the front line.
Round 2 saw our Lava Spider taking out their valuable support, Scavo Hireling. Lava Spider was then succumbed to a double attack from their Tenyii Striker and Serpentine Spy.
Round 3 saw the slaughter of their Tenyii Striker by ours and their tank, Living Lava destroyed. It was all over for the enemy team not long after that.
Lava Spider is a good monster to target their backline if they have a particular strong tank or useful supports.
