Hello Splinters, I'm Lagnarok, Welcome to my Weekly Secret Battle Mage section. Life Faction decided to start expanding their territory, and for the first step, Life Faction decided to dispatch the best scout group to collect intel from their surrounding territory before they could create plans to conquer them all. Ilthian is the best graduate ranger from the Temple of Light. After some consideration, Life Faction's Elder dispatched Ilthian to do this important task.

Ilthain Story's

Pledged into service by the Silver Shield, Ilthain was a warrior trained in martial arts. She spent her days working in communities and helping those less fortunate. At night, however, she acted on behalf of the Silver Shield to rid the land of the corrupt, using her unique abilities to bring peace to Khymeria by purging it of its lawless rebels. She became so well known among the people that when she passed on, thousands of mourners followed her body as it was carried to the Peace of Light Monastery and entombed within a great mausoleum. Following many supplications from the people, Ilthain was eventually named a saint on the first anniversary of her death. There was much rejoicing. Every year, celebrations were held to honour and remember her deeds—that is, until the Chaos Legion invaded. Read more.

The battle happened on Wild Gold League in a ranked match. The battle details are "Close Range", "No Legendaries", and "Briar Patch", with 22 mana caps, with only 3 Factions participating in the weekly faction Wars.

With the Briar Patch ruleset, I doubt my opponent will use Meele-type monsters against me, and I suspect he will be using Magic-type or Ranged-type monsters this time. So, I decided to set up my lineup, hope able to counter my opponent with double Magic Reflect monsters as my Tank and Healer right behind them. My strategy focuses on Counter Defensive rather than a frontal attack.

Did my Strategy Works?

Fortunately, my strategy worked perfectly this time, my opponent acted according to my counter-plan, so the battle ended faster than usual.

Note: I tried to change my writing style from a long and tedious version to a shorter and more descriptive one. I hope. You can enjoy it.
