There are normally better options than these cards but like other monsters, using them in a suitable rule of combat, allows them to shine.

These two monsters are something I really like using in Equalizer rule of combat. I am glad I were able to show them off since they deserve better.

Stats | Dumacke Orc

_{𝔓𝔥𝔬𝔱𝔬 𝔣𝔯𝔬𝔪 𝔪𝔶 𝔖𝔭𝔩𝔦𝔫𝔱𝔢𝔯𝔩𝔞𝔫𝔡𝔰 𝔞𝔠𝔠𝔬𝔲𝔫𝔱.}

At 6 Mana cost, 2 Melee damage, 1 Health and 3 Armor at level 1, this monster is quite weak. Fortunately, this is a common monster which means that you can get him fairly easy and level it up. I have mine at level 3 which provides 5 armor except of 3 and at 6 mana cost, this is fairly decent given he has Shield ability.

_Abilities

At level 1, Shield is unlocked. Monsters with Shield halves the damage from any melee and range attacks, rounded up. If the damage is 1 before the effect applies, the damage turns to 0 and is negated.

---

At level 5, Retaliate is unlocked. Retaliate gives this monster a chance to do an attack to a melee monster that attacks this monster. The damage is equivalent to its current melee damage when the ability is triggered.

---

At level 9, Thorns is unlocked. Thorns inflicts 2 melee damage to any melee monsters that successfully attacks this monster

Stats | Clockwork Aide

_{𝔓𝔥𝔬𝔱𝔬 𝔣𝔯𝔬𝔪 𝔪𝔶 𝔖𝔭𝔩𝔦𝔫𝔱𝔢𝔯𝔩𝔞𝔫𝔡𝔰 𝔞𝔠𝔠𝔬𝔲𝔫𝔱.}

An epic monster from the Soulbounds Rewards series. He has a decent mana cost for a 7 armor monster. The glaring weaknesses are the 1 health and no damage types making him incapable of attacking unless partnered with a specific ability.

_Abilities

At level 1, Swiftness is unlocked. Swiftness gives extra 1 speed to all monsters on your team as long as this monster is alive.

---

At level 4, Rust is unlocked. Rust reduces opponent's armor by 2. Armor can be reduced up to 0.

---

At level 6, Strengthen is unlocked. Strengthen increases all of your monster's max health by 1 as long as this monster is alive.

Summoner: Camila Sungazer: My go to general summoner that decreases all opponent's melee attack by 1.

1. Dumacre Orc - 1 Health, 5 Armor, 2 Melee. Good front line with Shield.
2. Kra'ar Xoc - 1 Mana, 2 Health, with Scavenger. A scavenger monster with 1 mana is a very strong monster.
3. Aves Sturges - 3 Health, 1 Armorr, 2 Magic damage. Has Weapons Training ability that gives 1 magic damage to monnsters with no damage beside him.
4. Clockwork Aide - 1 Health with Swift. A low mana monster with high armor to protect from possible Sneaks.

ᗪIᗪ YOᑌᖇ ᔕTᖇᗩTEGY ᗯOᖇKEᗪ?

Yes. It was a very close call since if Ave Sturgis dies, both of the monsters won't be able to attack anymore.

Good thing, Dumacre Orc has great defense due to Shield ability and Equalizer Rule of combat solves his low health issue.

---

ᗯᕼᗩT ᗯIᒪᒪ YOᑌ TᖇY ᗪIᖴᖴEᖇEᑎTᒪY ᑎE᙭T TIᗰE?

None. But Kra'ar Xoc can be changed to Scavo Hireling if you are not using a Dragon Summoner. Scavo Hireling provides armor restoration but also requires higher mana.

Dumacke Orc and Clockwork Aide in Equalizer Rule Set

? 𝑾𝒉𝒚 𝒐𝒓 𝑾𝒉𝒚 𝒏𝒐𝒕?

Yes. Dumacre Orc and Clockwork Aide are two of the monsters I really like. The only problem is, like what I've said, very low health. However, on a Equalizer rule of combat, this weakness is eliminated.

Furthermore, Weapons Training ability gives Clockwork Aide extra attack so he won't just stand there during the battle.
