Taunt is one of the most used Ability in battles. Ever since its inception, Taunt has been a staple in every strategy either as tank or back tank, with heal or as a sacrifice. So that got me thinking, of all the Chaos Legion Taunt monsters, which one is the best. Lucky for me I got this amazing battle that will somewhat prove it. This is Iziar vs. Mycelic Slipspawn - The Ultimate Taunt Battle.

For the newbies out there. Taunt is the ability that draws in all attacks to the monster. This means when the enemy are able to attack at any position (except for the first position), or due to Opportunity, Sneak and Snipe, it will target the bearer of this ability. Monsters with Reach, Scattershot and Wingbreaker will not be affected by this ability as they have rules of their own. Reach will only target the monsters at the first position. Scattershot randomly attacks others. Wingbreaker attacks the first Flying Unit it sees even if it is in the first position. If multiple Taunt monsters are use, the closest Taunt monster will be attacked first. Notable Taunters are:

In this battle, the enemy opted for the Mycelic Slipspawn build while I focus on the Iziar team. I placed Iziar in betwen Stitch Leech and Pelacor Arbalest for the boost when Iziar dies. My enemy placed Mycelic Slipspawn before the rangers in order to give time for them to attack. What's good about Mycelic Slipspawn is Force Field. It is a real counter to high damage dealers and good thing I didn't brought any monsters with +5 attack except for Corsair Bosun. As for Iziar, it's advantage is the Martyr which is a huge help for the damage dealers.

So which one is better? I personally think Iziar is the best Taunt monster. It's Martyr ability makes it stand out among all the Taunters out there. It is best used with the damage dealers to further boost their stats. For me, this is one of the best matches I had for this year. I am looking forward for more fun and amazing battles ahead. For now, I am maxing my Rebellion Reward cars to make me prepared for the next Modern format. That is all for me in this post. Hope this helps you in your future battles.
