Amazing Battles – When less is more

Welcome Splinter People! I am pleased to present yet another great battle!

Rule Sets: Weak Magic + Reverse Speed + Melee Mayhem and 99 Mana Cap.

I had to choose between Fire, Water, Life and Dragon elements, since it was a 99 Mana Cap, a Legendary summoner is better in most of the cases. So, let's analyze our options:

Kitty/Jacek: Bad idea due to their +2 Speed.

Camila Sungazer: Might be a good option, but she is a summoner focused in low-medium mana due to her 3 mana cost.

Lir Deepswimmer: Great option, since it is very likely to face melee monsters, so Blind and his +2 armor would be very effective. However, not very likely to face Ranged monsters and Water monsters in general are not slow.

Yodin Zaku: This one is the best option in these rulesets with many monsters wiith only 1 point speed, not only that, Fire element is known by his strength in melee attack type, which fits perfectly in “Melee Mayhem” ruleset.

Enemy Team

The Battle

ByzantineKitty is a strong opponent and thought the same about Yodin being the best option, he also added a Runi with Reflection Shield in the 2nd position to counter the Blast.

I had a great start killing the opponent’s Chain Golem in the 1st round without losing any of my monsters and keeping them with a decent amount of HP thankfully to the extra armor of Arkemis the Bear.

Besides that, his Forcefield was huge to counter Sand Worm with his incredible 6 attack power.

In round 2 Runi was killed twice and Mordeus was gone with him due to the blast, at this point the battle was over.

Conclusion:

Living Lava is the real MVP of this battle. His Rust ability diminished the Armor of Chain Golem, Living Lava, Grum by 2 and Runi to zero.

Against Chain Golem and Living Lava -2 Armor means that I needed to damage him at least an extra 4 attack power due to their Shield ability.

To take down Runi I would need 2 extra attacks: one to take down the armor for the first time and another after he resurrects!
