Hello everyone, welcome to my newest segment, "BATTLE FROM THE PAST". This segment was created because when I want to make a post for another Challenge (Social media and Secret Battle Mage Challenge) I always save all the battles I win. So that when the theme is determined, I don't have to bother to do a lot of fighting again because I have saved some of them.
Since the unused battle links are piling up, I decided to create this segment to share those battles with you all. For this time, the struggle that I will be sharing is...
The ruleset for this battle is NOXIOUS FUMES, where all units have received poison effects since the beginning of the battle and will only activate at the end of each round.
I'm using Pelacor Mercenary because he has the HEAL 
ability that can keep him safe from poison effects. It also has a RETALIATE 
ability that has a chance (50%) to counterattack if it is hit by an attack from the opponent's TANK (if the opponent uses a Melee unit as a TANK).
Then I brought Venari Marksrat which will be useful when he loses. At that time, he will activate the MARTYR 
ability which gives an additional 1 point in all stats of units placed near him. And next to him is Runemancer Florre who has Dual-Attack and high Health points. Even though he doesn't have any abilities, he can still survive as long as he doesn't become the target of the opponent's units.
Vampiric Blossom has the IMMUNITY 
ability that can negate debuffs that will be given to her, especially poison effects that come from the NOXIOUS FUMES ruleset. Then there is Uloth Dhampir who has the STUN 
ability that can stop the opponent's movement in one round if the effect successfully hits the target. It also has the TRIAGE 
ability that can heal one of the units that are not in the first position.
The unit that Uloth Dhampir will heal in this battle is Mycelic Slipspawn. The reason is that he has the TAUNT 
ability which causes almost all of the opponent's units to direct their attacks at him. So Mycelic Slipspawn must be able to maintain his HP so that the opponent's units continue to attack him, and that is the task of Uloth Dhampir healing him using the TRIAGE ability.
In the first round, Djinn Oshannus, Kulu Mastermind, Deeplurker, and River Nymph attacked Mycelic Slipspawn. Unfortunately, the attack from Deeplurker only deals 1 point of damage to Mycelic Slipspawn due to the FORCEFIELD 
ability. Meanwhile, Diemonshark failed to land its attack on Pelacor Mercenary.
On my side, Pelacor Mercenary, Runemancer Florre, Vampiric Blossom, and Mycelic Slipspawn attacked Diemonshark and put it into RAGE mode. Uloth Dhampir heals some of Mycelic Slipspawn's Health. However, the attack he performed together with Venari Marksrat failed to hurt Diemonshark.
The poison effect of the NOXIOUS FUMES Ruleset began to reduce some of the HP of almost all monsters in the arena except Diemonshark which was healed by River Nymph and Vampiric Blossom which had the IMMUNITY ability.
In the second round, Diemonshark damaged Pelacor Mercenary's ARMOR before being defeated by Vampiric Blossom and Runemancer Florre*. Runemancer Florre also attacked Baakjira using Range Attack.
Djinn Oshannus and Kulu Mastermind defeated Mycelic Slipspawn. Meanwhile, Deeplurker defeated Venari Marksrat. His defeat earned Pelacor Mercenary and Runemancer Florre an additional 1 point in all of their stats.
Pelacor Mercenary and Baakjira* attacked each other. But when Baakjira attacked, Pelacor Mercenary countered back his attack using the RETALIATE ability. River Nymph dispels the poison from Baakjira and attacks Pelacor Mercenary. Meanwhile, Uloth Dhampir attacks Baakjira.
The poison effect again reduced some of the monsters' HP. Baakjira is now safe from the poison effect because in the previous round, she was healed by River Nymph. Meanwhile, River Nymph herself lost due to the effects of the poison.
In the third round, Djinn Oshannus attacked Pelacor Mercenary. Meanwhile, Kulu Mastermind and Deeplurker defeated Uloth Dhampir. Baakjira was defeated by Runemancer Florre so Kulu Mastermind is now in first place. Pelacor Mercenary and Vampiric Blossom attacked Kulu Mastermind.
In the fourth round, some monsters still lost some HP due to the toxic effects of the NOXIOUS FUMES Ruleset. Djinn Oshannus attacked Pelacor Mercenary. Runemancer Florre defeated Kulu Mastermind using Magic Attack. Then he attacks Deeplurker using Range Attack.
Deeplurker attacked Pelacor Mercenary but was immediately countered using the RETALIATE ability, so Deeplurker lost due to the counterattack. Pelacor Mercenary healed some of his HP and attacked Djinn Oshannus along with Vampiric Blossom.
Since Djinn Oshannus is the last monster on the opposing team, the attack by Vampiric Blossom should deal twice the damage because of the DEATHBLOW 
ability. However, Djinn Oshannus also has the FORCEFIELD ability, so the damage he receives is only 1 point.
After the HP reduction due to the poison effect, Pelacor Mercenary was immediately defeated by Djinn Oshannus and left Runemancer Florre in the first place. Runemancer Florre and Vampiric Blossom defeated Djinn Oshannus on the spot.

Review
The original purpose of using Mycelic Slipspawn was just to distract the opponent for as long as possible while defeating their units that were in the lead position. But unexpectedly the opponent brought Deeplurker. And that made Mycelic Slipspawn's FORCEFIELD ability triggered, making the damage he received only 1 point.
This also happens when Djinn Oshannus which is the last unit of the opponent receives an attack from Vampiric Blossom which activates the DEATHBLOW ability. All attacks worth above 4 points will only deal 1 point of damage to units that have the FORCEFIELD ability.
That's one of the battles that I shared in Battle from the Past this time. Hopefully, you will get a little idea about the strategy after seeing this battle. Thank you for visiting and reading this post until the end. See you in the next post.
