Battle Mage Secrets Weekly Battle Challenge! (Close Range)
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 Close Range 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 ranged attacks are allowed to attack in the first position. | |
This ruleset is one of the good ones, because it will allows me to use monsters that i am not usually use or the way and position they are being used. These monsters are the Ranged attack monsters, because normally they are not capable to attack (without the Close Range ability) from the first position. 👍
| Ruleset | Description |
|---|---|
| Earthquake | Non-flying Monsters take 2 Melee damage at the end of each round. |
| Close Range | Ranged attacks may be used in the first position in battles. |
The mana cap was 37 and only the Earth Splinter was banned from this battle, which means it is possible to use anything that I want taking advantage of the Close Range ruleset if it is possible.
The Earthquake ruleset will be another important factor to take it into account, because it will deal 2 damage on all of the monsters on the battlefield without the Flying ability. This can be countered by a monster with Flying or Heal ability to negate this effects. 🤗
Avina of the Wolf
Avina of the Wolf is a Life summoner and recently they got few quite strong Summoners, which makes the Life Splinter one of my favorite again. She is a special Summoner, because giving a fixed stats or abilities to her monsters there will be two options to choose from when you finished assemble your team.
The first is to give Shield to one of your monster, which will reduce all the incoming Melee and Ranged damage or you will be able to give the Heal abilty to one of your monster, which means that the monster will Heal itself in every round. This selection will create an entirely different situation to counter your opponent. 😉
Bera Dallin
Bera Dallin is the perfect pair with Avina, because he own the Shield ability already and the self Heal from his Summoner will be highly beneficial. His other speciality is his Taunt ability, which will direct all the incoming damage into him and protecting his backline whom will also protect him in return. 😆
Usually I wouldn't use the Marksrat with Bera, because his main role would be to die and buff up the monsters next to him, which he couldn't do in a team where there is a Taunt monster. Luckily taking advantage of the Earthquake ruleset I will be able to kill him without further issue, because the Earthquake will kill him in two rounds. 🤩
Celestial Harpy
When I am playing with Avina and Bera I always try to use another single damage dealer (because I do not have too much space left in my team) in order to try to attack the enemy backline if it is possible.
The reason is that many times Bera doesn't have enough damage with his supporters and my opponent could also bring a solid front and I need a monster to go around it and kill their backline slowly. 🤭
Adelade
I always use Adelade Brightwing with my Bera to give some heal for my backline, because she has the Triage and take advantage of his Repair ability, which means that she will repair some Armor to one of the most damaged monster, which is usually *Bera Dallin.
She also has the Resurrect ability as well, which is amazing to revive the first friendly monster who has fallen in the battle with one Health and all of his Armor. 😆
The War Pegasus is a Ranged attack monster and he is not a bad one, because he has +3 Ranged attack, which is paired with quite a good Speed and on top of that this monster is able to Fly, so he is able to totally ignore the Earthquake ruleset. 💪
The Albahoo Forester is a non attack monster, so he can not do any harm against the enemy monsters, but he is able to heal his own backline with his Triage ability, which might help a lot in the long run. Eventually he will die against the Earthquake, but his 2 mana cost is just enough to squeeze him into my team. 🤫
My opponent used Kelya Frendul as his Summoner, because he wanted to take advantage of his +1 Speed and +1 Armor, which is amazing to block one incoming Melee or Ranged attack and even the first round of the Earthquake damage. 😇
Both of our team was quite solid and it took two full rounds to kill their main tank, because he didn't got any support from their backline only one of his monster had the Repair ability.
The Shield on my Bera helped him a lot to sustain a lot of damage and in the end of the third round my team managed to kill their main damage dealer who was his Kulu Mastermind. 😉
At the end of the third round the Earthquake damage killed my Marksrat, so he was able to increase the stats of his neighbourghs than he was resurrected back to life by my Adelade. 💪
In the fourth round my team managed to kill their last two damage dealer and without them my opponent easily lost this battle. 😇
