Double Trouble Double Strike in Unprotected Ruleset

Helliiaawww
what's up Splinter Player around the world how are you doing? I am sharing my battle this time in new format of battle challenge that discussion about using Double-Strike ability in Unprotected ruleset. while both parties does not having shield anymore lets barrage with melee attack and beating opponent faster from the frontline. This time the twin lizzards show down. But before entering how the strategy and the battle going lets see the explanation of the Unprotected ruleset first

Unprotected ruleset description is All armor is removed from units and one cannot gain armor.Shield and Divine Shield are unaffected. So basically both parties not getting armor from both monster and summoner. Nor armor buff too. Without armor anymore we should recalculating total damage and total health as a defence. Thats why this ruleset somehow is not harm but can be as a advantage too in some reason. For example when using double strike ability it will get full damage hit to health without worrying about shield anymore. So lets see what strategy i am using this time

Strategy Phase

As you can see in the picture above this battle just have 1 ruleset that is Unprotected only the description you can see above. The manacap in this battle is 57 which is pretty good manacap. Both parties can mix matching the huge manacost monster combined with medium and low manacost monster. The element that can be used this time is Fire,Earth,and Dragon element. With this element i am really confused with this ruleset. because all element need armor and shield to be survive and fit in the battle. But i am prefer using Dragon element in this case. Oh, before i forgot, in this battle i am using scholar account from Balthazar and playing in Diamond League Modern Format. And in this scholar account i am not having many choice of picking card since the completed max level is just all Chaos legion cards edition and some of rewards cards. So, with limited choice lets see what i am picking to my line up, you can see in the table below

Card	Position	Ability	Reason
	Summoner	-1 Range -1 Speed	I am using dragon element with this summoner because it will be adding my choice to choose my line up and with high manacap battle using dragon element is like advantage since the dragon monster is costing high mana to use in battle. And many Dragon monster is having pretty good status and damage. Thats why i need Dragon element in this battle
	Frontline Tanker		I am using Grund for the Double Strike ability that very helpfull to make a fast movement to opponent frontline tanker with double strike it will give damage twice and if Grund can defeat the opponent it will make this monster attacking thrice in one shot. Not only that Grund is having pretty good status to be a frontline tanker having high amount of health can make this monster survive many damage of the opponent attack.
	Secondliner Attacker		Carnage Titan is one of the best legendary monster in chaos edition, This monster can be as an attacker and as a tanker. Having shield ability make this monster will reducing opponent range and melee damage and it will make opponent hardly defeat this monster only by using magic damage this monster will easily defeated. But, not only that this monster can attacking opponent frontline too and it will be twice because having double strike ability. Especially when the ruleset is Unprotected combined with Grund it will total 4th times damaging opponent frontliner tanker.
	Attacker		I am using Venari Scout to helping hunting down opponent lower health monster so it will make opponent with health monster get defeated first. and with dodge ability this monster having chance to dodge any range or melee monster attack just in case if the opponent using opportunity monster too.
	Attacker		I am using Chaos Dragon as my main magic attacker because this monster having Scattershot that can attack random monster in opponent line up and this monster having blast ability too which is will make opponent adjacent unit that get hit by this monster also got damage too. Not forget this monster have Blind ability that can make opponent having chance to miss attacking me.
	Buff Attacker		Supply Runner is one of the chaos edition card that having pretty good buff when maxed out. Having swiftness ability that can make entire team got speed buff and strengthen give another additional health to entire team, not only that this monster also having pretty good status especially in speed. So this monster having high chance to attacking first and opening the war.
	Taunt Tanker		Using Taunt monster in this battle is very crutial because if opponent using range or magic monster that targeting my frontline it will make my strategi will not work, so i am using Mycelic Slipspawn as a first tanker to hold opponent damage while my twin lizards Grund and Carnage Titan can beating opponent frontline tanker first. And with Forcefield ability this monster will compress any monster that having damage above 5 to be just 1 damage only. With slow opponent speed will get debuff and make my team having opportunity to attacking first.

Okay this is my strategy, i am hoping that the twin lizards Grund and Carnage Titan can defeated as fast as they could for opponent frontliner tank. That will make the rest easy to defeat. And hopefuly my Taunt Tanker Mycelic Slipspawn can holding 1 round damage from opponent line up so my entire team can beating opponent line up first.

Battlephase

Okay this time i am encountered with opponent that using the same summoner that is Quix The Devious, Hoping that the opponent did not bring the overpowered monster such as Kralus or Agor So lets see how the battle going

Round 1 Part 1

As usual in round 1 both parties got buff and debuff from both summoners and monster.
In my team got

• 1 Speed Debuff from opponent summoner Quix The Devious
• 1 Range Debuff from opponent summoner Quix The Devious
• 1 Speed and Health buff from my Supply Runner ability Swiftness and Strengthen
• 1 Magic attack Debuff from opponent Goblin Psychic ability Silence
• Blind effect from opponent Chaos Dragon ability Blind

In opponent team got

• 1 Speed Debuff from my summoner Quix The Devious
• 1 Range Debuff from my summoner Quix The Devious
• 1 Speed Debuff from my Mycelic Slipspawn ability Slow
• Blind effect from my Chaos Dragon ability Blind

After buff and debuff the battle started and the first monster that attacking is my Supply Runner attacking opponent Pelacor Mercenary and following by my Venari Scout attacking opponent Goblin Psychic then my Chaos Dragon attacking opponent Goblin Psychic and give blast damage to opponent Pelacor Mercenary and Uloth Dhampir.After that my Mycelic Slipspawn attacking Pelacor Mercenary and then my Carnage Titan attacking Pelacor Mercenary too and got retaliate but miss the attack then we continue in part 2

Round 1 Part 2

Lets continue the round 1 Carnage Titan continue the second attack since Carnage Titan having double strike ability and what the pretty badass RNG opponent has, 100% Retaliate even though the first one is missing attacking. And because of that opponent Pelacor Mercenary can be defeated. Then my Grund defeated opponent Goblin Psychic in the first attack and activate the trample ability but it missing attacking opponent Uloth Dhampir maybe due the blind. then The second attack still missing attacking Uloth Dhampir. As usual my RNG is pretty bad. I dont know what happened with the RNG stuff. kinda bored that i am always writing about the bad RNG of my gameplay. But yeah Welcome to my Life got cheated by the luck. Then opponent Runemancer Fiore attacking my Mycelic Slipspawn and then followed by Opponent Chaos Dragon attacking my Supply Runner and then opponent Dr Blight attacking my Mycelic Slipspawn.

Round 2

My Supply Runner attacking opponent Uloth Dhampir following my Venari Scout attacking Uloth Dhampir but opponent Uloth Dhampir still having health left and not defeated. Then my Chaos dragon attacking opponent Chaos Dragon and make blast to adjacent unit that make opponent Uloth Dhampir got defeated. then combination attack from my Mycelic Slipspawn and Carnage Titan can defeated opponent Chaos Dragon and make blind effect gone. then the second attack of my Carnage Titan attacking opponent Runemancer Fiore then following my Grund attacking twice and defeated opponent Runemancer Fiore. Then Grund activate the trample ability and givind damage to opponent Dr Blight. And opponent Dr blight hit my Grund and gives poison Damage. But it will be very hard to beat my whole team with just leaving Dr Blight only.

Round 3

In round 3 after my Grund got poison damage no need wait to long that my Supply Runner and Venari Scout can defeated opponent Dr Blight. Thats make me the winner of the battle.

Twin Lizards Double Trouble

Conclution

After experiencing this battle i think my strategy using Double Strike and penetrate fast is one of the good strategy in Unprotected ruleset battle. So the opponent will not had time to counter back my team mates. And if the opponent using range or magic attack it will be attacking my taunt monster that is Mycelic Slipspawn. And because of that my twin Lizards Carnage Titan and Grund can make high damage to opponent frontliner. And even i win the battle, I do not like the outcome because there still a lot missing opponent even though my speed faster than opponent but with just blind only opponent hard to get attacked. But yeah still my strategy of double trouble using twin lizards can work in this ruleset battle. And for my opinion using Melee attack in Unprotected ruleset is still the best way.
