Uriel vs Kralus.gif

Introduction

Knowing how to use the skills of the cards when building your team requires a lot of learning, but we can't forget the basics of evaluating the status of each one. I recently won a battle with a lot of cost due to a flaw in my strategy, so I thought it would be interesting to bring it up for discussion to highlight the mistakes made and what could have been done to ensure a easy victory.

The strategy before the battle

The battle had 32 MP available for use and only Water and Life Splinters. In my opponent's history there were no battles with these splinters, but I noticed that their focus was on the classic strategy of eliminating the tank and then attacking the backline. In this way, I sought to strengthen my front line by placing Uriel The Purifier which, after fixing the bug that made it only heal when it had its Recharge ability activated, became excellent for occupying the tank slot, unlike what was commented on in Greengineer (2022-a).

I sought to ensure the survival of my tank by placing 02 monsters with the Heal Tank skill (Divine Healer and Venari Crystalsmith), 01 monster with Cleanse (Herbalist) and 01 monster with Repair and Ressurect (Adelade Brightwing). With the remaining 02 MP I put the Halfling Alchemist with his Halving ability to reduce part of the damage received by Uriel.

Once assembled the team was to hope that my opponent didn't abuse the Snipe, Opportunity or Sneak skills, which could eliminate the supports before my tank.

The battle

My opponent used Summoner The Peakrider, which reduces ranged attack by 1 and provides 03 plus Shield to his allies. As a tank, he selected Kralus, with his Immunity, Flying and Heal skills, in second position he put the Gargoya Scrapper, in the third position he used the Armorsmith with his Repair skill, in the fourth position he used the Doctor Blight with Poison and Affliction and in the last position he used the Shieldbearer with your Taunt skill.

He was looking to eliminate my tank while my backline were wasting time on the Shieldbearer. Doctor Blight was a key part of his strategy, preventing the healing of my tank, but he was countered with my Herbalist's Cleanse. My Halfling Alchemist was also rendered useless by Kralus's Immunity ability. I soon realized that the battle would be long and could result in a draw or defeat if the twentieth round passed.

So much so that at the end of the first round no monsters had fallen.

At the end of the fourth round the enemy Shieldbearer went down, but both tanks remained standing.

Until the eleventh round my monsters missed several attacks due to the movement speed difference and Kralus' Flying ability. My tank received some scratches but soon healed.

During the twelfth round my allies managed to remove Kralus' Shield so that my Uriel's merciless attack hit him, knocking him out of the game.

In the fourteenth round, it was Gargoya Scrapper's turn to leave the match, but not without giving some work with his Void ability and Armorsmith's Repair.

In the fifteenth round the monster that delayed Kralus' elimination, Armorsmith, was eliminated.

In the sixteenth round Doctor Blight was defeated, securing my victory.

Evaluating the match there were errors on both sides. Firstly, none of the teams used characters with the Snipe, Sneak, Opportunity or Scattershot abilities, making both teams depend on the elimination of tanks to access the enemy backline. My Halfling Alchemist for example could have been replaced by Celestial Harpy. In the case of my opponent, he set up a strategy that was even superior to mine, because it took me four rounds to start attacking his tank with all my monsters, but he depended on the Affliction ability to eliminate my tank.

Another point is that the Resurrect ability was an unnecessary luxury and my Adelade Brightwing could have been replaced by the Silvershield Assassin in a way that would speed up the elimination of my opponent. But it's easy to criticize the past, the lesson is not to abuse monsters with low movement speed in games that don't have the Reverse Speed ​​rule.

Hope you enjoyed this strategy with the indestructible tank. To see the match in detail you can go to this link: Greengineer (2022-b).

Introdução

Saber utilizar as habilidades das cartas ao montar seu time exige bastante aprendizado, mas não podemos esquecer do básico que é avaliar os status de cada uma. Recentemente ganhei uma batalha com muito custo devido a uma falha em minha estratégia, logo achei interessante trazer a mesma para discussão para evidenciar os erros tomados e o que poderia ter sido feito para garantir uma vitória mais tranquila.

A estratégia antes da batalha

A batalha em questão possuía 32 de MP disponíveis para uso e apenas os Splinters de Água e de Vida. No histórico de meu oponente não haviam batalhas com esses splinters, mas percebi que seu foco estava na estratégia clássica de eliminar o tanque para então atacar a backline. Desta forma busquei fortalecer minha linha de frente colocando o Uriel The Purifier que, após a correção do bug que fazia o mesmo se curar apenas quando estava com sua habilidade Recharge ativada, passou ser excelente para ocupar a vaga de tanque, diferente do comentado em Greengineer (2022-a).

Busquei garantir a sobrevivência de meu tanque colocando 02 monstros com a habilidade Heal Tank (Divine Healer e Venari Crystalsmith), 01 monstros com Cleanse (Herbalist) e 01 monstro com Repair e Ressurect (Adelade Brightwing). Com os 02 de MP restante coloquei o Halfling Alchemist com sua habilidade Halving visando reduzir parte do dano recebido pelo Uriel.

Uma vez montado o time era torcer que meu oponente não abusasse das habilidades Snipe, Opportunity ou Sneak, que poderiam eliminar os suportes antes de meu tanque.

A batalha

Meu oponente utilizou o Summoner The Peakrider, que reduz 1 do ataque à distância e fornece 03 de Shield para seus aliados. Como tanque selecionou Kralus, com suas habilidades Immunity, Flying e Heal, na segunda posição colocou o Gargoya Scrapper, na terceira posição utilizou o Armorsmith com sua habilidade Repair, na quarta posição utilizou o Doctor Blight com Poison e Afliction e na última posição o Shieldbearer com sua habilidade Taunt.

Ele buscava eliminar meu tanque enquanto seus aliados perdiam tempo com o Shieldbearer. O Doctor Blight era peça chave de sua estratégia, impedindo a cura e envenenando meu tanque, porém o mesmo foi contra-atacado com o Cleanse de meu Herbalist. Meu Halfling Alchemist também foi inutilizado com a habilidade Immunity do Kralus. Logo percebi que a batalha seria longa podendo resultar em empate ou derrota se passasse vigésimo round.

É tanto que no final do primeiro round nenhum monstro havia caído.

No final do quarto round o Shieldbearer inimigo caiu, mas ambos os tanques continuavam de pé.

5 Round Evade.png

Até o décimo primeiro round meus monstros erraram diversos ataques devido a diferença de velocidade de movimento e à habilidade Flying de Kralus. Meu tanque recebia algum arranhão mas logo era curado.

12 Round Evade.png

Durante o décimo segundo round meu aliados conseguiram remover o Shield de Kralus de forma que o ataque impiedoso de meu Uriel o atingisse, eliminando-o da partida.

13 Round Evade.png

No décimo quarto round foi a vez do Gargoya Scrapper sair da partida, mas não sem dar um certo trabalho com sua habilidade Void e o Repair do Armorsmith.

15 Round Evade.png

No décimo quinto round o monstro que atrasou a eliminação do Kralus, o Armorsmith, foi eliminado.

16 Round Evade.png

No décimo sexto round o Doctor Blight foi derrotado, garantindo minha vitória.

17 Round Evade.png

Avaliando a partida houve erros dos 02 lados. Primeiramente nenhum dos times utilizou personagens com as habilidades Snipe, Sneak, Opportunity ou Scattershot, fazendo com que ambos dependessem da eliminação dos tanques para acessar a backline inimiga. Meu Halfling Alchemist por exemplo poderia ter sido substituído pela Celestial Harpy. No caso de meu oponente ele montou uma estratégia até superior à minha, pois demorei quatro rounds para começar a atacar seu tanque com todos os meus monstros, porém ele dependia da habilidade Afliction para eliminar meu tanque e não contou com a presença de Cleanse em minha equipe.

Outro ponto é que a habilidade Resurrect foi um luxo desnecessário e minha Adelade Brightwing poderia ter sido substituída pela Silvershield Assassin de forma que agilizaria a eliminação de meu oponente. Mas é fácil criticar o passado, a lição que fica é não abusar de monstros com baixa velocidade de movimento em partidas que não possuem a regra Reverse Speed.

Espero que tenham gostado desta estratégia com o tanque indestrutível. Para ver a partida em detalhes você pode ir neste link: Greengineer (2022-b).
