The Battle

Battle Rulesets	Description	Info
KEEP YOUR DISTANCE	Monsters with Melee attack may not be used in battles.	Keep no attack or higher HP monsters in the front. Keep higher speed Magic monsters with abilities like Flying, Dodge, Blind in the front
REVERSE SPEED	Monsters with the lowest Speed attack first and have the highest chance of evading attacks.	Try to pick monsters with 1 speed because they have the best chance of evading Melee and Ranged attacks. Beware of monsters with Enrage and Last Stand, these abilities increase speed when activated
ARMORED UP	All Monsters have 2 Armor in addition to their normal Armor stat.	Use magic attacks, but the opponent will do the same, so focus on HP. Is countered by Rust or Wizard of Eastwood's summoner ability.

Lineup

It was a low mana game without melee monsters, and slow speed is preferred.

Card	Strategy
	Lux Vega - My default choice in most of the games. As most of the time, her stats are ideal for this game. Unfortunately, the speed boost is a disadvantage in this game.
	Chaos Agent - I use it a lot in low mana games cause it has a good mana price/value ratio. It can survive or dodge some attacks and only cost 1 mana. It is a little speedy for this game, but I had no better choice.
	Merdaali Guardian - My ideal support monster of every water team, especially in Armored Up games. With healing, health increase, and repair she can fix every problem :) Her position was the biggest mistake, I should move to the back cause without melee there is not too much snake monster.
	Angelic Mandarin - Very good ranged monster with good support skill and only cost 3 mana. In lower mana water games I use it very often.
	Spirit Hoarder - Good magic damage and very useful support skills. And the 1 speed is ideal for this type of battle.
	Doctor Blight - One of the best camu monster for the last position. He can grab a lot of health until appearing in the front. Poison is an extra top of this as the 1 speed in this time.

Battle - Replay

Did your strategy work? What will you try differently next time?

No, there were some mistake in strategy, with a better positioning, mainly move Guardian to the back, she can survive the whole game and I get much more better chance to win the game:

Battle Results

Which cards are good/bad for Armored Up ruleset? Why or why not?

• I think monsters with repair or void armor are the best for this ruleset.
• On the other side, monsters with shatter or rust can counter this.
