Battle Mage Secrets Weekly Battle Challenge! (Even Stevens)
I love the idea that the Weekly Battle Challenge changed instead of featuring a monster to represent a ruleset. It is so good to do something different than usual and I hope they will continually do this in the future. The best way would be to mix these challenges, so every week would be more interesting.
This week we need to show a ruleset, which is the Even Stevens and the way I used it to my (dis)advantage in the Battle I played. 😇
My only problem with this new system is that it is very difficult to do battles with the specific ruleset featured for the week challenge, because it is random what you are going to get and even if you have that ruleset you need to win it somehow, which is not always easy. 😏
 | Only units with even mana costs may be used. | |
I do not really like this ruleset, because it is effectively halves the available monster pool to choose from when I am setting up my team. The main idea behind this is that only even mana cost monsters are avaialbe, so the odd cost ones are completely banned.
Some of the Splinters are quite good in the Even Stevens ruleset, such as the Water or Earth and some of them is very good int the Odd Ones Out ruleset like the Fire or Life. Of couse you can use monsters from eitherSplinters, but they tend to have stronger monster in these specific rulesets at least what I experienced so far. 😆
| Ruleset | Description |
|---|---|
| Even Stevens | Only Monsters with even Mana costs may be used in battles. |
| Holy Protection | All Monsters have the Divine Shield ability. |
The mana cap is 30, which is not that much to choose anything I want and that will make this battle difficult, because there are less monsters to choose from. Only the Fire, Earth and thge Death Splinters were available and out of the three (like I said before) I think the Earth has the best even monsters.
The Holy Protection will give an extra layer of defense to all of the monsters on the battlefield, because it will gives them the Divine Shield ability, which means that the will be able to block one any kind of incoming attack entirely. 😇
Lobb Lowland
Lobb Lowland is an Earth summoner and he is quite special, because he is a reward card, which means that he is able to use the Gladiator cards whom otherwise will only be able to use in the Guild battles. Apart from the use of the Gladiator cards he also decreases the Speed of all the enemy monsters. 😁
Mycelic Infantry
The Mycelic Infantry is an excellent tank, because he cost only 8 mana has high Health and Armor.
His most important ability is his Shield, which means that he will be able to halves all the incoming Melee and Ranged attack damage effectively. The only weakness he has is his low Speed, because it is only one. 😜
The Fungus Fiend is my backup plan to block few attacks in case my main tank will die. Thanks to the Holy Protection he will be able to block two attack, which is quite good from a zero mana monster. ☺️
The Queen Mycelia cost only 4 mana and she is a Magic attack monster, so she works perfectly with the Obsidian, but in this battle I relied on one of her most important ability, which is the Protect and that means that she will increase the Armor of all her friendly monsters by two. 😁
Katrelba Gobson
Katrelba Gobson will be the key for my battle, because she is a Gladiator card, which means that she has the Bloodlust ability, which is one of the strongest in the game.
The Bloodlust means that if she manages to kill a monster fro mthe enemy team she will increase her own stats by one, (Yes! All of it!) which will make her amazingly strong.
She has the Sneak ability, so she will focus the last monster from the enemy team, which usually is weaker and on top of that she will attack twice in every round thanks to her Double Strike ability. 💪
Lurking Puffer
The Lurking Puffer is a non-attacker, which means that he doesn't have any attack on its own, but he has an important ability, which is the Silence and that might be crucial in a mirror match against the Obsidian. The Silence means that he will reduce the Magic damage of all the enemy monsters by one. 😇
Doctor Blight
Doctor Blight is one of the most popular monster in the game, because he cost only 4 mana, so it is easy to use and he has the Affliction (When a Monster with Affliction hits a target, it has a chance of applying Affliction on the target causing it to be unable to be healed.) and Poison (Attacks have a chance to apply poison, which does automatic damage to the target at the beginning of each round after the poison is applied) ability, which is amazing. 👌
My opponent brought the Obsidian, so he he will try to take advantage of his Magic attack team, because the Obsidian will increase their Magic attack stats by one. 🤗
In the first round my Doctor Blight made a lucky shot on his Gargoya Lion and managed to trigger the Affliction and Poison on him.
The second round started with my Katrelba killing their Fungus Fiend, which made my Katrelba a bit stronger thanks to her Bloodlust ability. At the end of the second round I have lost my Mycelic Infantry as well, because he doesn't have any protection against Magic attacks, so my situation became a bit worrying.
In the third round not much happened just we exchanged some damage with my opponent, but at least the Poison on his tank killed him at the end of the round. 😅
In the fourth round Katrelba finally killed their Goblin Psychic and made herself level up again than I lost my Queen Mycelia against the enemy fire. Katrelba became my tank and from now on she has to kill a monster every round if I want to win this battle.
The fifth and sixth round was amazing, because she managed to kill their monsters one by one.
Even thought my Lurking Puffer didn't attack a single time his role was essential to win this battle, because his Silence decreased my opponent damage a lot. 💪
