Top Summoners for Close Range: Modern Format

Summoner
Description

image.pngQuix The Devious: This summoner is a ranged counter, it reduced the ranged damage of your enemy by 1.
image.pngLir Deepswimmer: If you think your opponent will be taken advantage of the close range ruleset and choose all ranged monsters, this is the best summoner to counter those ranged attacks. This summoner gives 2 additional armor, and has the Blind ability which is all enemy ranged and melee attacks increased the chance of missing their target. And most useful ability is the Return Fire, when a ranged monster hit any of your team the reduced damage will return to the attacker.

Description

image.pngRise of the Commons: Only Common and Rare monsters may be used in battles.
image.pngEven Stevens: Only monsters with even mana costs may be used in battles.

Mana Cap: 34
Active Splinter: Water, Earth, Life, Death, and Dragon

Battle Prediction

There is a limited number of monster we can use because of the Rise of the Commons and Even Stevens. So it is hard to choose which monsters to pick or use. But most of the ranged monsters are common and rare. And most of it is in the water and life splinter. So my opponent will choose either water or life.

The key to winning this battle is having a tank that has the Return Fire ability. Most of my opponent's monster is taken a lot of damage because of return fire. It increased my chance to win against my opponent. Plus having a monster that can heal your tank or support your tank. GG Zeeshannqvi71.
