CLOSE RANGE RULESET implies that Ranged attacks may be used in the first position in battles.

🐲DARIA DRAGONSCALE - SUMMONER

DARIA DRAGONSCALE is one of my favorite Dragon summoners because of her extra Melee attack points she offers Melee attack monster(s), something that can quickly deplete their life points so that the battle lasts a few rounds but not too long. Of course, I know when to use her, but for this battle, I needed her and her inherent ability to grant me a +1 Melee attack point, as my front attacker is a Melee attacker LORD OF DARKNESS. I reasoned that the ruleset will make my enemy pick loads of ranged attacker, so I decided to come with melee which can prove resistant.

☠️LORD OF DARKNESS - FIRST POSITION

 High HP and Heal is the way to go in this ruleset. ^(a)

LORD OF DARKNESS is the Lord of battle, and he leads the team to victory with his amazing abilities. When he is injured, his Enrage ability is activated which gives increase Melee and speed attack . He Stuns his assailant, leading them to lose control of the situation, losing a turn to strike. A 3 star⭐️⭐️⭐️ warrior with the Shield ability, which shields him from melee attacks. I have employed him solely for this purpose, to absorb hits.

🐲RUNIC SKYCLAW - SECOND POSITION

In final position in placed the amazing flyer Skyclaw. Because of her high 10-shield, RUNIC SKYCLAW can deal considerable Range damage to the enemy. The ruleset clearly supports her entry into battle. She is mainly a Range attacker that can attack from any position. Her Flying ability will destroy non-flying melee and ranged attack enemies. Her Snipe ability targets monsters with range, magic or no attack type at all, causing great damage to them and her Reflection shield will not take damage from Blast, Magic reflect, Thorns or Return fire.

Without further ado, let us now enter the battleground.

• My Enemy also used the Dragon Unit, ENEMY-DARIA DRAGONSCALE as Summoner. ENEMY-HAUNTED SPIRIT in first position, ENEMY-UNDEAD PRIEST in second, ENEMY-FALLEN SPECTER in third, ENEMY-UNDEAD ARCHER in fourth, ENEMY-WEIRDING WARRIOR in fifth and ENEMY-MAGGOTS in last position. Came at me with double Melee, double magic and double ranged attack monsters, which I expected and well, nice team line-up. I was abit concerned but then, I sorta believe my two lineup will do the job. So let's see how that went🤞.

A RECAP OF THE CLOSE RANGE RULESET

---

In battles that use the CLOSE RANGE ruleset, ranged attacks may be used in the first position in battles. This can make battles more challenging, as battle mages must deal with the possibility of ranged attacks from the very beginning of the battle.

To succeed in Close Range, Mages should consider using high health point or high speed ranged monsters at the second position, or even at the first position if the monster has the Heal ability [LORD OF DARKNESS & RUNIC SKYLAW PERFECTLY SUIT THIS RULE AS SEEN IN THIS BATTLE].

Additionally, Mages should choose summoners that give a bonus to ranged attacks or to speed, and then select high damage ranged attack monsters to take advantage of the battlefield.

However, battle mages should also be aware of the possibility that their opponents may pick Lir Deepswimmer as summoner or monsters with Return Fire, which can make battles even more challenging.

To counter this, mages should focus on using monsters with high HP and the Heal ability, to help them outlast their enemies and be victorious.

That will be all about my battle with CLOSE RANGE as focus. Thank you for stopping by😊
