My Opponent had a Better Secret Weapon

My opponent outplayed, outsmarted, and out-arrowed me... and my opponent didn't even use General Sloan.

My winning strategy if Life was in the cards is to use the Shield Bearer as my tank, Scavo Hireling to follow, and lastly Venari Crystalsmith. This ensures that my Shield Bearer's health AND armor will replenish.

However, my opponent was able to diminish both my Shield Bearer's health and armor faster than I could replenish it. See for yourself.

My opponent made good use of the Time Mage.

The Time Mage is nice, because she has both magic attacks and the ability to reduce the speed of their opponent... me in this case.

Lastly, my opponent used Pelacor Arbalest.

Pelacor Arbalest is strong, as it does 2 damage AND has the ability, Double Strike, which allows it to attack twice in a round.

No wonder my opponent was able to whittle both my armor and health so fast!
