Here's my starting lineup

Summoner: Immortalis

  • Whenever earth element is active I prefer to play it as I definitely have best cards in earth and also two of my favorite summoners being Immortalis and Mylor Crowling
  • So in this case I went with Immortalis as I was confident my enemy would play some kind of magic damage monsters
  • Also -1 hp and Shatter are great stats to get vs any team comp if my enemy should not play magic comp
1st Position: Mycelic Infantry

  • Mycelic Infantry was one of my main tanks for this battle
  • Main reason I like Mycelic Infantry here a lot is his Shield ability
  • Also paired with Immortalis Void my Mycelic Infantry was basically taking half damage from any monster my enemy could play
  • Shield - Reduced damage from Melee and Ranged attacks by 50%
2nd Position: Pelacor Mercenary

  • Pelacor Mercenary was my next tank for this battle
  • Main thing for him was his Flying ability and exactly 10hp as my next monster had 11hp and needed to be covered in case my enemy should go full all in to Equal Opportunity ruleset
  • Pelacor Mercenary also had 3 melee damage and 3 speed so he would definitely deal some damage
  • Flying - Has a 25% bonus chance of evading Melee or Ranged attacks from Units who do not have the flying ability
3rd Position: Grund

  • For last but not least is Grund my main damage dealer for this battle
  • As Equal Opportunity was active playing Grund into the backline and defending him was one of the best teams I could graft up from the ruleset
  • Also Grund had 11hp which he could use to tank a lot of attacks if the battle should come to it
  • Double Strike - This Unit attacks twice each round

Starting board

  • After seeing the starting board I was on the fence about the outcome of this battle
  • Even tho I predicted him playing some kind of magic monster and countering it with Immortalis Void plus countering the Kraken and Axemaster with Mycelic Infantry Shield I still had some thoughts as he did have a lot of damage
  • It seems like anything could still happen so lets start the battle and have a look

Here's how the battle went

1st & 2nd Round

image.png

  • After first two rounds we had traded my Mycelic Infantry for his Kraken
  • At this point I felt like I was a bit ahead as his Kraken was somewhat his only tank and I still had two 10hp tanks left
  • Also his Axemaster was now in the first position where it was not possible for him to attack
  • But anything could still happen so lets keep watching
3rd Round

  • The 3rd Round was a disaster for me as I missed two out of three attacks I had
  • But I was still confident I would win as I had 9 damage to my enemies 2 and also almost twice the hp
  • Lets keep watching the battle roll out
4th Round

  • At Round 4 my enemies Axemaster finally fell and now it was just his last standing monster
  • The battle was 100% decided as I just had so much more damage and hp left on my monsters
  • Now I just needed to wait for the start of the next round and then face my victory
5th Round

  • It took my Grund both of his attacks to kill my enemies last standing monster
  • After his Nerissa Tridawn had fallen I took the victory

Summary

  • This battle was definitely one sided but still fun to watch
  • The strategy to take away from this battle was definitely playing Grund in the backline when Equal Opportunity or Super Sneak are active and secondly the power of double protecting your tank monster in my case Mycelic Infantry with Shield and Void
