This week, I'm sharing my game in Close Range ruleset using Lily Shieldpaw.
You can check out this BATTLE MAGE SECRETS Weekly Challenge link if you also want to participate.
Ruleset:
Weak Magic
Aim True
Close Range
Mana Cap: 52
Elements: Fire, Earth, Dragon
This is a Weak Magic ruleset game so Magic attacks hit Armor before reducing Health.
Protect, Repair, Rust are useful in this ruleset. Beware the opponent could choose only Melee and Ranged monsters, so keep a tank with Shield.
This is an Aim True ruleset game so Melee and Ranged attacks always hit their target.
Blind, flying, dodge are useless. This Ruleset doesn't give Ranged monsters the ability to attack from the first position. Choose higher speed or higher health combined with high damage output. Return Fire ability is great in this ruleset.
This is a Close Range ruleset game so Ranged attacks may be used in the first position in battles.
You can use high HP or high speed Ranged monsters at position 2 (or even at position 1 if it has Heal). Choose summoners that give a bonus to Ranged attack or to speed and then choose high damage Ranged attack monsters. Beware of the possibility that your opponent might pick Lir Deepswimmer as summoner or monsters with Return Fire. High HP and Heal is the way to go in this ruleset.
