The Kraken Mages Strategy - The Answer to Target Practice

[kpgamingch]

---

Hello again, my coffee loving friends. For all those struggling in Wild Ranked Format, I had a surefire strategy that not only abuses the Target Practice Rule Set while also denying that advantage to your enemy. This requires you the use of Taunt ability while focusing on building damage on your own side.

With these factors on the board, then we have to go back to the past and pick up some very important units, mix and combine my two strats to get The Kraken Mages strategy.

Check how to completely dominate your enemies without breaking a sweat in this monstrous build. This build was able to take me from Bronze to Diamond when I was playing Wild format. Enjoy!

STRATEGY

---

This is my usual Water The Kraken-Mages strategy mixing the best of both worlds. It is very strong on all strategy and can dish out immense damage without relying to The Kraken.

Alternative Strategy: Another strat is to remove all mages and focus on Tank Heals. The disadvantage of that strategy is it would die when either The Kraken falls or Affliction was applied to The Kraken removing the ability to heal that unit.

CARD POSITIONING

---

In this battle, I used the summoner, Bortus and units, The Kraken, Phantom of the Abyss, Ruler of the Seas, Furious Chicken, Merdaali Guardian and Swamp Spitter .

Quick Stats

Level 8: Rare Summoner. Allows level 10 common, level 8 rare, level 6 epic and level 4 legendary. -1 Magic: Reduces the Magic damage of all enemy Units by 1

Taunt - Demoralize - Enrage - Retaliate - Return Fire	Flying - Demoralize - Dodge - Headwinds - Snipe	Blast - Swiftness - Silence - Snipe - Return Fire
1. Level 4: Still the best tank on this game due to the overwhelming anti-melee abilities he has. Damage, speed, armor, health, he got everything to the point that he can win on his own at times.	2. Level 4: [Return Fire] Demoralize and Headwinds helps further control enemy's melee and range attacks so The Kraken won't be overwhelmed.	3. Level 4: Silence is the main focus on this to have that reduced attacks from the enemy.

Return Fire	Tank Heal - Repair - Strengthen - Return Fire	Repair - Snipe - Return Fire
4. Level 3: Free rewards for the 0 mana cost is always good.	5. Level 8: The Kraken's partner. She has everything you need to support The Kraken, all in one unit.	6. Level 3: I wanted an extra Repair so I added him in the mix.
