I know that you want to start immediately the battle. So without further ado let the chaos begin!

THE GAME STRATEGY

For this battle, my strategy is to eliminate the monsters with low life because for sure, they are the one who has greater damage. Also, I plan to eliminate first the back line monsters so that there will be no extra attacks coming from that position. In defensive state, I plan to reduce the damage while creating greater attacks toward the opponent.

THE BATTLE RULES

This battle is only 14 mana fight and No Standard. Meaning, players may use any cards and elements they want as long as it is fitted to the required mana cap. Normally, the No Standard battle happens in the Bronze III and below rank.

THE CARDS

CARD NAME	ABILITY	STATS
MOTHER KHALA	Gives additional life to all friendly monster	-

MOTHER KHALA is a Rare Life Summoner that gives an additional health to other monsters. This Summoner is very helpful to use against the Dark Splinters because there are summoners there that can reduce the health of all the opponent's monsters. That could be a tragedy if it is not combatted properly. Another perks of using this card is its low mana. To afford this card, you only need to consume 3 mana. Mana are very important in the game because the higher the mana limits, the more cards you can afford. Also, this summoner is super perfect to use with CHAOS KNIGHT because it will increase its health, making it more valuable in the battle. The longer the Chaos Knight stays in the game, the more damages will be resist and the larger the attacks that can be made. With that, the combination of this summoner and the Chaos Knight could be lethal.

CARD NAME	ABILITY	STATS
CHAOS KNIGHT	SHIELD	2 melee attacks, 2 speed, 3 shield, and 4 health

The tank for the battle is the Chaos Knight. CHAOS KNIGHT is a Common Light Monster with Shield ability. Monsters with this kind of ability reduces the melee and range damage receives from the opponent. The original attack of the opponent is turn into half. This Monster has 2 melee attacks, 2 speed, 3 shields, and 4 health. Looking at the overall characteristics of this monster, we can say that this s one of the most reliable card in the field. This monster can cover lots damage in the field and can bring lots of damage towards the opponent. Its speed can is not that reliable because it is only 2 but I think that is better compared to other monsters with 1 speed. Also, the other down side of this monster is the 6 mana needed to afford the card. The 6 mana is pretty high because on other elements, it can already produce two strong cards. But as this monster continue to level up, it gains more ability.

At Level 5, this monster gains new ability called Giant Killer. Monsters with this kind of ability does double damage against targets that cost 10 or more mana. At this level, this monster has 3 melee attacks, 3 speed, 3 shields, and 5 health. As this monster continue to level up until Level 9, it gains new ability again called Inspire. Monsters with this kind of ability gives all friendly monster an additional melee attack. At that level this monster has 3 melee attacks, 3 speed, 5 shields, and 5 health.

CARD NAME	ABILITY	STATS
STITCH LEECH	SNEAK	2 melee attacks, 1 speed, and 3 health

For the second position monster, I decided to use Stitch Leech. STITCH LEECH is a Common Life Monster with Sneak ability. Monsters with this kind ability targets the back positioned monsters. This monster has 2 melee attacks, 1 speed, and 3 health. Looking at the overall characteristic of this monster, we can say that it has a major role in the game. Normally, players position their strongest monster in the last position and also these monsters mostly has low health. With that, attacking the back position would be a great way to ruin their offense. Another perks of choosing this monster is its low mana. Also, this card is perfect along with Chaos Knight because the damage towards the Chaos Knight could be lessen. The negative thing for this monster is its low speed and its low health.

CARD NAME	ABILITY	STATS
CELESTIAL HARPY	OPPORTUNITY AND FLYING	1 melee attack, 2 speed, and 2 health

For the third and last position, I decided to use Celestial Harpy. CELESTIAL HARPY is a Rare Life Monster with Flying and Opportunity ability. Monsters with Flying ability has increase chance of evading attacks of monster with no flying ability. Monsters with Opportunity ability targets monster with the lowest health in the battle. This monster has 1 melee attack, 2 speed, and 2 health. Looking at the characteristic of this monster, we can say that its ability is the most useful in the game. Placing it in the last position is a good strategy because it can surely avoid the attacks of monster with Sneak ability. Also, this card can eliminate the strongest monster in the field. Another thing is that this monster is so powerful even it has only 2 mana cost. The only downside of this monster is its low stats.

THE FIGHT

THE DEADLY EFFECTS

At the beginning of the round, the two summoners contest their effects. They both negate the effects of each other. Mother Khala gives an additional life but the summoner of the opponent negates it as it reduce the life of my monster by 1.

The first monster that attacks comes from the opponent. It successfully creates damage towards the Chaos Knight. Chaos Knight takes revenge and it also creates damage, but sadly due to Thorns, the health of Chaos Knight was reduces again. As the battle continues, some of my monster avoid the attacks and the other one eliminates one of the monster in the field.

THE GIFT OF LIFE

Round 2 started and the monster of my opponent attacks first. Monsters takes revenge and still Chaos Knight creates damage and reduces its life in exchange of it. My other two monsters focuses on eliminating the other monsters in the back, and they did it successfully. Now, only 1 of my opponent monster left and my monsters still complete and ready to fight for their life.

LIGHT PREVAILS

The round 3 starts and the monster of my opponent attacks first again. All of my monster takes revenge but Celestial Harpy cannot withstand the consequence of its action, leading it to its elimination in the game. My two other monster continue to fight and finally, they take down the darkness in the field.
