Battle Mage Secrets Weekly Battle Challenge! (Equal Opportunity)
I love the idea that the Weekly Battle Challenge changed instead of featuring a monster to represent a ruleset. It is so good to do something different than usual and I hope they will continually do this in the future. The best way would be to mix these challenges, so every week would be more interesting.
This week we need to show a ruleset, which is the Equal Opportunity and the way I used it to my (dis)advantage in the Battle I played. 😇
My only problem with this new system is that it is very difficult to do battles with the specific ruleset featured for the week challenge, because it is random what you are going to get and even if you have that ruleset you need to win it somehow, which is not always easy. 😏
 | All units gain the opportunity ability which allows them to attack the unit with the lowest health on the enemy team. | |
This ruleset is one of my favorite one, because it will allow all the Melee attack monsters from my backline to be able to attack from there. The most interesting part of this ruleset is the fact that all the monsters with the Opportunity ability will attack the enemy Monster with the lowest Health even from the enemy backline.
It is quite easy to counter this ruleset by using a monster with the Taunt ability, so instead of attacking the lowest Health monsters all the attacking monster will target the monster with the Taunt. (at least as long as he/she is alive) 🤗
| Ruleset | Description |
|---|---|
| Equal Opportunity | All Monsters have the Opportunity ability. |
| Broken Arrows | Ranged attack Monsters may not be used in battles. |
The mana cap is 45, which is more than enough to use whatever I want and in this battle the Life and Dragon Splinters were banned.
The Broken Arrows ruleset will eliminated the use of an Ranged attack monster, so it is best to use monsters with high Melee attack whom are otherwise useless in the back.
It is possible to control the enemy monsters attacking the monsters you want, becasue it is worth watching their Health and plan your team accordingly, because they will attack the loweset Helath ones first. 😇
Astral Entity
I didn't use the Death Splinter much recently, but the Astral Entity made me think about using him, because he has excellent abilities and monsters to de-buff the enemy team.
His cost is only 6 and he has three abilities. The first is to decrease the Armor of all the enemy monsters by 2, the second is that he gives the the Dodge ability to all his friendly monsters, which will give +25% dodge chance against the Melee and Ranged monsters.
His third ability is Resurrect, which means that he will revive one of his monster who died in this battle with Health. 💪
Harklaw
The Harklaw is one of the best Death tank monster for 8 mana, because he has the Shield ability, which means that he will halves all the incoming Melee and Ranged attack damage. He has the Immunity as well, so he will resist all the negativ effects targeting him. His third ability is Demoralize, so he will reduce the Melee attack of all the enemy monsters. 😉
The Cursed Windeku is also a tank and he should be in the first position, but in this case he will be able to attack from the second position as well thanks to his Opportunity ability. He also has the Thorns and Heal ability, so he will be quite resilient against the enemy damage. 🤗
The Djinn Muirat is an amazing Magic attack monster who is amazing against the enemy Melee or Magic attack monsters. One of his ability is the Void Armor, so he will be able to use his Armor against the enemy Magic attack monsters as well.
He also has the Giant Killer ability, which means that he will deal double damage against monsters that cost 10 or more mana. His Magic Reflect will damage all the incoming Magic attack monsters that would target him. 🤞
Cabalist
The Cabalist cost 7 mana and 3 Magic attack damage, which is quite a lot compared to his stats, but he also has the Giant Killer and the *Demoralize ability, so he will be quite dangerous to the enemy team. 😜
The Uraeus cost only 3 mana, which is nice, because I ran out of the mana already. He has only two Melee attack damage, but he is a Sneak attack monster, so he will target the last monster from the enemy team. On top of his normal attack if he is lucky he might be able to Poison his target, which will deal another two extra damage at the end of every round. 🤩
The Dumacke Orc will be my magnet against the enemy Opportunity monsters, because he has only one Health, so all the enemy monsters will try to attack him. He also has the Shield ability, which is amazing against the enemy Melee attack monsters and his Retaliate will make him to attack back to every Melee attack that he receives if he will be able to trigger it. 🤯
My opponent brought Tarsa who give +1 Melee attack and Health to all of his monsters. He tried to use her to setup a full Melee attack team, so hopefully my two monster with the Demoralize ability and the Retaliate on my Orc will handle that easily.
In the first round I was not that lucky, because his Uraeus poisoned my Dumacke Orc already, so at the end of the round he will die for sure. Luckily my two Magic attack monster killed their Uraeus, so even if my Orc would die he will be resurrected back and can not be poisoned again. 🤩
In the second round my team managed to kill his last two monsters (they had the smallest Health), so two of his big mana cost monsters remained on the battlefiled. (welcome Giant Killers)
Even though two of my monsters had Magic attacks his Tusk the Wide had the Void ability, so he was halved all the incoming Magic attack damage.
In the fourth round another two of his monsters died and only his Grum left on the battlefield. He couldn't kill anybody yet, so his attack stats were quite weak, but he had a lot of defensive abilities.
Eventually my five monster killed him before he could do any harm and they won the battle for me. 👍
