Overview
The new Weekly ruleset Challenge is an amazing twist that I am enjoying so far and I hope there will be twists like that in the future to keep this Challenge's fresh. 😁
This week the ruleset is the Equalizer, which means that all unit start with the same health, based on the highest health on either team. 😊
Buffs and debuffs are done afterward - this impacts base health.
The upcoming Battle ruleset
| Ruleset | Description |
|---|---|
| Equalizer | The initial Health of all Monsters is equal to that of the Monster on either team with the highest base Health. |
| Taking Sides | Neutral Monsters may not be used in battles. |
The mana cap for my next battle was 28, which is not too much to use whatever I want, but the Equalizer ruleset will help a lot to utilise monsters that generally has low health, because all the monsters on the battlefield will have the same amount of health.
In my battle only the Fire, Life and Earth Splinters will be available and the Taking Sides ruleset will effectively removes all the Neutral monsters as well. 😇
My lineup
 | The Obsidian is an Earth Summoner and her ability is to increase the magic damage to all of her friendly monsters. She cost only 4 mana, which is amazing in a low mana battle like this one. 😋 |
| Usually the Fungus Fiend is just a decoy in any battle, because he cost zero mana and has only 1 health, but thanks to the Equalizer ruleset his health will be ten just like the other monsters on the battlefield, which will make him a solid tank. 🤞 |  |
 | The Fungus Flinger has a very intersting and overpowered ability, which if it is used correctly it can turn the tide easily in any battle. That ability is the *Martyr, which means if the monster with this ability dies it will increase all the stats of the monsters next to him by one. 😆 |
| Lord Thalanor will be the main spine of my lineup, because he has a lot of magic damage, which is further boosted by my Obsidian. He has the Scavenger ability, which means if a monster dies on the battlefield he will increase his own health by one. This ability paired with a tank healer in his back, will work wonders as long as the enemy team doesn't have the Affliction ability t ocoutner that. 💪 |  |
 | The Goblin Psychic will be my main healer for this battle, because he will tbe the perfect monster to give much more sustain to my Lord Thalanor. He also has the Affliction ability as well, which means that he will be able to turn off the enemy monsters heal if it triggers. The trigger rate for the Affliction will be 50%, so you need a bit of luck there. 🤯 |
| The Djinn Biljka is a perfect magic monster, because with the Obsidian he has +3 magic damage. His Camouflage ability will hide him from the enemy monsters as long as any of his friendly monster is alive. 🤫 |  |
The Battle
My opponent brought General Sloan and the Life monsters for this battle, which is also a good option, because he will give +1 ranged attack damage to all of his monsters.
The enemy monsters were much quicker than most of my minions, but at least my magic attack monsters will always hit their target. The first round didn't look good for me, because I already lost my 'tank' and even my Fungus Fiend, but luckily he survived this round and got some heal from my Goblin Psychic.
Luckily in the second round the enemy Pelacor Conjurer died, so no more reflected magic damage, but I also lost my Fiend as well, so at least my Thalanor got his stats increased by his Martyr ability. 🤩
In the fourth round my Thalanor could receive 15 damage, which would kill him, but I was lucky there, because the enemy monsters missed him thanks to his high speed and at the end of the round my Goblin healed him up with a nice portion of health.
In the fifth round his Pelacor Arbalest fell int othe first position and he was unable to attack from there, so my opponent didn't have enough damage overal to kill my Thalanor.
The combination of my Thalanor and Goblin was amazing and luckily my opponent didn't bring any monster to attack my backline directly and any monster with the Affliction ability. 👍
Battle Result
Did your strategy work? What will you try differently next time?
There are many rulesets, which I do not like, but this one if quite a good one, because it will be possible to use low health monsters whom I otherwise wouldn't play at all. 😇
