For this battle, I decided to use the Tarsa summoner. I went for Tarsa so I could use monsters with high melee attacks.

1st Position

For my first position in my lineup, I decided to go with the Forgotten One monsters because it is immune to negative effects. It has a melee attack of 4, health of 8, shield of 4 and a speed of 2. I felt it was a good choice.
