ANTOID MAFIA PLATOON
ANTOID PLATOON
An Antoid Platoon typically consists of five to seven Fire Ants, each approximately the size of a man's fist. They are well armored and wield shields and spears that, while tiny, provide a formidable defense and offense against the antoid's foes. Operating through a shared hive mind, the Antoid Platoon is employed to defend Ant Miners, other workers, the colony, and its queen. They are also known to become aggressive when invaders encroach upon their homes and surrounding territory.
LINE UP AND POSITIONING
Summoner: TARSA
Reason for Picking:
I picked this summoner for the fire team as it provides additional one melee damage and one health to all friendly monsters. This is the best summoner that I can partner with ANTOID PLATOON and the rest of my monsters in this weekly battle challenge.
First Position: ANTOID PLATOON
Reason for Picking:
A very unique and low mana cost tank that provides shield ability with 1 melee damage, 1 speed, 2 armor, and 3 health for only 4 mana. This is the best tank for this low mana cost battle with a group of flexible attackers and support behind him.
Second Position: FURIOUS CHICKEN
Reason for Picking:
A rare neutral unit that is very flexible in any low mana cost battle that can be placed anywhere. I choose 2nd spot for this unit to provide support to other friendly monsters around.
Third Position: BATTERING RAM
Reason for Picking:
A 2 mana cost unit that has an opportunity ability with 1 melee damage, 1 speed, and 1 health. A very good fit with ANTOID PLATOON and TARSA for this low mana battle.
Fourth Position: CREEPING OOZE
Reason for Picking:
A 1 mana cost neutral unit that has no damage but provides slow ability against enemy monsters. This unit helps my team to get an additional boost in terms of speed.
Fifth Position: SERPENTINE SPY
Reason for Picking:
A 3 mana cost for the fire team unit that provides 2 melee damage, 3 speed, and 1 health. A perfect fit with ANTOID PLATOON and TARSA summoner. Also, this monster has an opportunity ability at hand.
Sixth Position: URAEUS
Reason for Picking:
An epic neutral unit that provides 1 melee damage, 2 speed, 1 armor and 2 health. This monster also has a sneak ability for only 3 mana cost. Another melee damage unit that best fits with TARSA.

Tell us about your lineup
My lineup consists of 2 fire units and 4 neutral units. I picked up four melees, and 2 combo units.
Did your strategy work?
Yes. It works well and we won the battle after 5 rounds.
What will you try differently next time?
For this kind of ruleset and mana cost battle type, I will stick with the same lineup and if have other powerful units around to exchange with another unit I will definitely try that option.
Do you like the ANTOID PLATOON? Why or why not?
Yes. ANTOID PLATOON is so slick and powerful for a low mana cost battle. One of my favorite tank in the fireteam.
