Hello again, my coffee loving friends. Today, we're going to talk about Reverse Speed rule set. This is a very interesting one because it's the only rule set in the game that can make the unit's strength become a limitation and their limitations become their strengths at the same time. It is a really weird rule set that you have to master if you want to continue winning.
RULE SETS
 | Available:  Water,  Life,  Death Unavailable:  Fire,  Earth,  Dragon |
|---|---|
 | Reverse Speed: Units with the lowest Speed attack first and have the highest chance of evading attacks. |

STRATEGY
Add a lot of mages as their attacks don't miss regardless of what speed they have. Magic attack also bypass armor making units like Diemonshark very easy to kill even though he has 6 armor.
The use of Martyr on Djinn Oshannus is something I picked up from my opponent before. The increase on speed made me miss a lot and made me lose some of my games.
On this battle, I don't mind getting increased speed on Djinn Oshannus because the extra magic damage makes up for it.
Alternative Strategy: You can also use Kelya Frendul instead of Bortus as the summoner. The extra speed given by Kelya Frendul and the speed given by Martyr gives Djinn Oshannus a lot of edge against melee and range units as the Void ability deals with mages. This gives you Djinn Oshannus as a perfect tank to deal with any damage thrown by your opponent.
Keep in mind though that both of these strategies become a hindrance on Reverse Speed as the rule set allows you to get hit more and miss more the higher your speed. Mages still hit 100% all the time and is not affected by the speed.
CARD POSITIONING
In this battle, I used the summoner Bortus and units Hardy Stonefish, Venari Marksrat, Djinn Oshannus, Nerissa Tridawm Venari Wavesmith and Riverboat Captain .

| 1. Level 1: Since my units are focused on magic, I put him in the front to soften the blow to Djinn Oshannus. | 2. Level 1: I placed him in front of Djinn Oshannus in order to increase his stats from Martyr when Venari Marksrat dies. | 3. Level 1: Serves as both defense and offense. His high speed, high health gives him defense against melee and range and Void gives him strong defense against magic damage that cannot be dodged by high speed. | 4. Level 1: Even with no abilities, her high damage and health earns her a spot in my team. | 5. Level 1: Protect adds armor to everyone on the team. | 6. Level 1: Inflicts bonus damage to units around the target with Blast. |
