I love the idea that the Weekly Battle Challenge changed instead of featuring a monster to represent a ruleset. It is so good to do something different than usual and I hope they will continually do this in the future. The best way would be to mix these challenges, so every week would be more interesting.
This week we need to show a ruleset, which is the Explosive Weaponry and the way I used it to my (dis)advantage in the Battle I played. 😇
My only problem with this new system is that it is very difficult to do battles with the specific ruleset featured for the week challenge, because it is random what you are going to get and even if you have that ruleset you need to win it somehow, which is not always easy. 😏
Additional damage is equivalent to main damage divided by 2, rounded up. Include a unit with Reflection Shield in your lineup to absorb blast damage and protect your back line. |
I like this ruleset a lot, because it is possible to create crazy combos throughout the battle. The Blast damage will deal extra damage around the target, so it is very important a good positioning in a bttle where all the monsters has this ability. 👍
Ruleset | Description |
---|---|
Aimless | All monsters have the Scattershot ability. |
Explosive Weaponry | All Monsters have the Blast ability. |
The mana cap is 46, which is more than enough to setup a nice team and try to counter the enemy monsters. The main problem in the next battle will be the Aimless ruleset, because it will be impossible to predict where the monsters will attack and do their extra damage.
Even the Taunt ability is useless, because the Scattershot will overwrite that easily and counter that.
Using a monster with the Reflection Shield and Triage might help a lot to mitigate the incoming indirect damage from the Blast ability. 🤫
Conqueror Jacek
Conqueror Jacek is a Fire Summoner and he has the best abilities for this ruleset, because he will increase the Speed of all of his monsters by two, which is amazing.
He also gives Scattershot to all of his monsters, which is irrevelant using the Aimless ruleset, but the Piercing ability is a very good addition to damage the enemy armored monsters. 💪
Grum Flameblade
Grum Flameblade is a high mana cost tank, who has excellent abilites to be a tank. Even though his Speed is the lowest in the game, but if he manages to kill with his Bloodlust ability he will increase all of his own stats by one per kill permanently until the battle last.
His abilities are great against the Magic attack monsters, because he has the Void Armor ability from level one where he can use his Armor against the Magic attacks as well and on from level two he will get the Void ability as well, which will halves all the incoming Magic attack. 🤗
The Venari Marksrat has a special place in this battle, because I used him on the second position. The trick is to try to kill him as soon as possible against the Blast damage and to take advantage of his Martyr ability to buff up the monsters next to him. 🤭
The Lava Launcher is an amazing damage dealer, because he is a Ranged attack monster, so he will be able to deal huge damage from my backline. He also has the Close Range ability, so he will be able to attack from the first position as well and on his level four he will get the Stun ability and he will also increase his damage to four. 🤯
Firecaller
The Firecaller is another Martyr ability monster in the game and she is one of the best amongst them, because she has three Ranged attack damage instead of the one, which is usually is on the other ones.
Her main role is either damaging my opponent monsters and use her Martyr ability in case she dies, so she will also increase the stats of her neighbourghs by one. 😆
Tinderlock
The Tinderlock cost a lot of mana, but he has a lot of Ranged damage and Health. The main strength of him is his abilities, because the first is the Last Stand, which means if he will be the last monster standing on the battlefield he will get increased stats.
The Close Range will allow him to attack from the first position as well even though he is a Ranged attack monster and the Silence on his level 3 will makes him to decrease the Magic attack of all the enemy monsters by one. 😇
Xenith Archer
The Xenith Archer is just a low cost filler monster, because she cost only two mana and she has one or two Ranged* attack if you level her up. The Explosive Weaponry will help to increase her damage a bit, so it is worth to use her. 😜
My opponent brought Kelya Frendul from the Water Splinter, because he wanted to take advantage of the +1 Armor and Speed to try to counter at least one Blast damage from the ruleset.
The random attacks will make the battle completely unpredictable, so the luck factor was quite high in this game. Luckily my opponent brought a lot of Magic attack monster, so as long as my Tinderlock is alive I will have a slight advantage throughout the battle. 🤩
The enemy team was a bit quicker than mine, so they attacked first and in the first round they killed my Firecaller easily. That was a good news in the bad news, because she used her Martyr ability to level up the monsters next to her. Sadly when my monsters attacked they couldn't kill any monster fro mthe enemy team, but instead we lost our Xenith Archer due to the Blast damage.
In the second round something horrible happened, because I lost almost all of my monsters except Grum and my chance to win was very slim.
From now on the most important thing would be to hit his Djinn Oshannus, because without hitting him it will be difficult to win the game.
Luckily Grum was succesful to hit the Djinn Oshannus three times in a raw and he managed to kill his Baakjira, which counted as a kill, so his Bloodlust was triggered and saved him for another round. From now on he must to kill an enemy monster in order to survive the battle.
It was amazing that his Speed was also increased with every kill, so it was more easy to hit their high Speed tank. He was on the edge to die every round, but his Bloodlust ability always saved him from dying. 💪
The result of this battle was a huge surprise for me, because I killed all of their monster with only one and Grum was the clear winner for the MVP title in this battle. 👍
