THE LORE

image.png

"The Chaos Legionnaires are ruthless warriors and the Chaos Legion's elite fighting force. Alvar Veralyn was conscripted into their ranks at a young age after his family was slain and his world conquered by the Chaos Legion. The harsh conditioning that all conscripts receive nearly broke the child, but in the end, his old, easy way of life was subsumed by the desire for battle and conquest. Alvar dedicated himself to his training, intent on reshaping his mind and his body until he had no equal on the battlefield. Eventually, he rose to the rank of General and now stands as the leader of the Chaos Legionnaires. Alvar is a most imposing sight on the battlefield. His armor is imbued to withstand the strongest of magical attacks, and even the mightiest of foes is no match for his massive, two-handed sword, which some say was forged in the Realm of Nightmare. He lives for battle, wading through his enemies and striking them down as he seeks out the strongest among them to engage in single combat. He enjoys nothing more than watching the life fade from his opponent's eyes. His conquests are legendary even among the Legionnaires, and he earned the title of Godkiller after the Battle of Dargnilat, during which he single-handedly defeated one of the Old Gods."

THE RULESET FOR THIS BATTLE

The first rule is called Equalizer which means that the initial Health of all Monsters is equal to that of the Monster on either team with the highest base Health. The strategy in this rule is not to use high HP monsters and focus on high damage. Try to use a lot of monsters as well. having a Tank Heal, Thorns, and Triage for defense helps a lot. The second rule is called Healed Out, all healing abilities are removed from Monsters and Summoners. You can skip monsters and summoners having Affliction. Life Leech is not impacted by this ruleset. The mana cap for this battle is 44 and the active elements are water, life, death, and dragon.

DID MY STRATEGY WORK?

Yes, my strategy did a great job in this battle. I used General Sloan as a summoner because it is the available card that I rented. Since the mana cap required in this battle is high, I was able use Legionnaire Alvar as a tank. It did a great job in the first-line position since it has void armor which is damaged first when attacked by a magic monster, luckily, the opponent used magic attack monsters. Adelade brightwing in the second position did also a great job in helping my tank to repair it's armor. In the Healed out ruleset, healing abilities may be removed, but Repair still works. On the third line is Time Mage which decreased the speed of the opponent, and the rest inn the backline was ranged attack monsters. Even if the opponent decreased the speed of my team, Supply runner managed to add speed because of its swiftness ability.

WHAT WILL I TRY DIFFERENTLY NEXT TIME?

Nextime, I will try to add a monster with melee attack in my team or a monster with opportunity ability which can attack from any position.

Overall, the game went great and my team won the battle!
