    The Ruleset

    • Rulesets - Maneuvers, Aim True & Aimless
    • Mana Cap - 48
    • Active Elements - image.png image.png image.png

    Here's my starting lineup

    Summoner: Immortalis

    • With the ruleset and element pick that I got I felt like the best possible summoner for me needed to be useful in any kind of battle
    • So in my case I went with earth element and Immortalis as his Void counters magic teams and -1 hp and Shatter both are useful in any battle that should come my way
    1st Position: Mycelic Infantry

    • Mycelic Infantry was my main tanks for this battle
    • Main reason I like Mycelic Infantry here a lot is his Shield ability
    • Combined with my summoners Void my Mycelic Infantry was going to take only half the damage my enemy might come with my way
    • Shield - 50% less damage (rounded up) from physical attacks or 0 damage from physical attacks of 1 power
    2nd Position: Grund

    • Grund was my main damage dealer in this battle
    • I really do like using Grund in battles with Maneuvers active as in any other type of battle I feel like he just dies too fast in the first position but now I had tank in front of him
    • Double Strike - Attacks twice each turn
    3rd Position: Mycelic Slipspawn

    • Mycelic Slipspawn was my secondary tank
    • Main idea for him was that he was going to tank some attacks so my first position tank could live longer
    • Mycelic Slipspawn also had Forcefield and a lot of hp which makes him a great tank
    • Taunt - Draws the attacks of enemy units. Does not affect Reach, Scattershot, Wingbreak, or enemy units in the first position
    • Forcefield - Attacks dealing 5 base damage or more instead deal 1 damage
    4th Position: Mushroom Seer

    • Next up in line is my take on countering my enemy playing magic based comp
    • Mushroom Seer does not have the greatest stats for being 5 mana but his ability makes it fine with me
    • Silence - -1 magic power to all enemy units
    5th Position: Wood Nymph

    • Wood Nymph was my first healer for this team
    • His stats were not great at all but the only thing I wanted was his Tank Heal ability
    • Tank Heal - Each round, restores 1/3 of max health (rounded down) to the allied unit in the first position
    6th Position: Goblin Psychic

    • Goblin Psychic was my second healer and the last monster for this team
    • Not like the last healer Goblin Psychic had some great stats on him and also the Affliction ability which I really like
    • Tank Heal - Each round, restores 1/3 of max health (rounded down) to the allied unit in the first position
    • Affliction - 50% chance to apply Afflicted after a successful attack. Afflicted units cannot be healed

    Starting board

    • The starting board was looking quite sad for me as his team had much high level monsters
    • I managed to counter his magic monsters with my Silence and Void combo but it felt like it was not enough to win this battle for me
    • But my predictions could still be off by a mile so lets start the battle and have a look

    Here's how the battle went

    1st & 2nd Round

    image.png

    • After first two rounds the board was still looking quite over yet for me
    • I had lost my tank but got back his Ravenhood Warden and his first and second position monsters were standing with 1 and 2 hp which looked super great for me
    • But anything could still happen so lets keep watching
    3rd Round

    • After 3nd Round my amazement was huge when I saw that my enemy only had monsters with 1 magic damage each left
    • That meant there was no way I was losing this battle
    • Now I just needed to wait and take down my enemies last 3 monsters
    4th Round

    • In the 4th round nothing interesting really happened other than all three enemy monsters losing some hp while my Grund gained hp
    • The next round should be the last before I claim my victory
    5th Round

    • It took me 1 whole round to kill my enemies last standing monsters
    • After the rest of his team had fallen I took the victory

    Summary

    • This battle had definitely a interesting outcome
    • The two strategies to take away from this battle are the Void + Shield double heal combo and the standard Void + Silence combo
    • Both of these strategies managed to brough me the victory even when my enemy had much higher level cards than I did
