THEME: CAVE SLUGS

Edition: UNTAMED
Rarity: COMMON
Element: LIFE
ATTACK: MELEE
ABILITIES: Opportunity at level 1; Scavenger at level 6; Slow at level 10

Why should you consider using "CAVE SLUGS"?

5 Mana worth of weakness termination

Strategic Reason

~ The skill "Opportunity" is just insanely good, it will always attack the monster with the lowest health, be it the enemy tank, or just their crazy chickens. And the best part will be taking down the heavy hitters of the enemy team because most of the time they are the ones with the lowest health.

~ Some might say killing the chicken which is not even in the 1st position is just a waste of turn, not to the cave slugs because of their skill "Scavenger", one of the best synergy of skills, opportunity will make him attack the lowest health and scavenger will increase its health per monster that dies.

ENTER BATTLE :

Also a glimpse of what I am thinking and not thinking when picking my lineup

Here are the Rules for the Battle

Mana : 30
Silenced Summoner : Using 2 mana Summoner would be Ideal
Odd One Out : Only monsters with odd mana may be used

Lineup Positions :

Summoner : KIARA LIGHTBRINGER

• Choosing 2 mana summoner with those rule set is a great advantage.

1 = LORD ARIANTHUS

• One of the best tank with little downside. Using it here is good with the amount of mana given.

2 = CAVE SLUG

• High Base attack damage to simply end the misery of low hp enemy. Placing it at position 2 means that I also intend it to tank a little if my main tank dies.

3 = SILVERSHIELD SHERIFF

• High damage monster using snipe skill with great supporting capabilities. The skill protect is good to use to cusion some damage all over the team.

4 = LONE BOATMAN

• Another monster with snipe for good measure. Decent damage with Repair which have good synergy to the support skill protect.

5 = FERAL SPIRIT

• This is just to make the backline suffer. It can be a source of opportunity to cave slug.

6 = CREEPING OOZE

• It is always a good idea slow the enemy and to strike first.

Commence Battle
ROUND 1

Click image above to watch Replay

I am a little bit concerned about the enemy tank since it got high damage output with 2 monsters having a tank heal.

ROUND 2

Almost nothing change except for breaking enemy armors.

ROUND 3

I got a good progress since I've wasted enemy resurrection, it got used on Creeping ooze.

ROUND 4

The sniping duo plus cave slug killed one of the enemy healers and on this round feral spirit got his prey. Although my silvershield sheriff met his end.

ROUND 5

I was smiling at this point since the enemy got little to no chance of winning

RESULT

Kept my winstreak.

Cave Slug is just plain insane since it got good skill synergy. Opportunity is like the embodiment of the aim of each battle, to kill all of enemy forces.
