Battle Details

I believe I got carried away with my summoner choice which made me select a wrong team.

Summoner buffs, debuffs and unit buffs and debuffs took effect and the battle began with my enemy's last monster attacking my first monster with 3 range. I attacked with my last monster reducing my enemy's first monster's health to 7. Attacks flew from my enemy and my first monster died.

At the start of round 2, my Gargoya Devil which stepped into first position was killed. My third monster, Acid Shooter who stepped into first position after Gargoya Devil was killed also died leaving me with three monsters.

The next monsters to die were from my team leaving me with only one monster which was my last monster. At that point, I knew I was done and had lost the battle.

At the start of round 3, I killed my enemy's first 2 cards, managed to take the battle to round 4, and lost in the fourth round.

Here is my battle link. Watch here how I took my enemy to battle and lost.
