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 Broken Arrows, which means that all units with ranged attacks cannot be used. 🙃

Units with 2 types of attack (which include ranged) cannot be used.

Consider utilizing units with Thorns or Magic Reflect, as your opponent will have to use either melee or magic units. 😉


The upcoming Battle ruleset

RulesetDescription
Broken ArrowsRanged attack Monsters may not be used in battles.
Equal OpportunityAll Monsters have the Opportunity ability.

The mana cap for my next battle was 29, which is not much, and only the Fire and Death Splinters were banned! The mana cap was not high at all and on top of that all the monsters on the battlefield will target the lowest health monsters thanks to the Equal Opportunity ruleset.

The Broken Arrows ruleset will eliminate all the ranged attack monsters from both sides, so it will be a bit easier to setup a team without them. Luckily all the melee attack monsters are a viable options, because they will able to attack from the backline as well using their Opportunity ability. 💪

My lineup

Possibilus the Wide is an amzing choice for htis battle, because he gives +2 health to all of his monsters and the Reach ability as well, so the second monster will be able to attack as well behind from the tank. The Trample is another amazing ability on him, which will allow all of his monsters to get an extra attack if they kill an enemy monster. 🤫
The Diemonshark is a very strong monster and even thought he doesn't have any defensive abilities apart from his high speed he is quite powerful. He has a high attack damage, which will be further increased when he is damaged thanks to his Enrage ability. He also has some armor to block few incoming attacks targeting him. 😜

The Coastal Sentry is the perfect damage dealer for this battle, because she is able to attack using her Reach ability or the takind advantage of the Equal Opportunity ruleset. Either way she is a killer, because she has got the Double Strike ability, which will enable her to attack twice in every round using her high damage output. 🤞
The Cruel Sethropod cost only 3 mana, which is very cheap for a monster who has a lot of armor and attack damage. He is also able to attack from the backline, so he is a perfect monster in this battle. 🤗

The Chaos Agent will be my decoy in this fight, because after the Torrent Fiend all the enemy monsters will target him, because he has quite a low health. 🤩
The Hardy Stonefish cost only one mana, which is very good and in return he has the same health like the Chaos Agent, but with some melee attack damage and armor to block the enemy attacks. 😆

The Torrent Fiend cost zero mana, so it is very easy to use him and he will be the main target of the enemy monsters thanks to the Equal Opportunity ruleset. 🤭

My opponent brought Helios Matriarch who gives +1 speed and she will be able to use any non-ranged Gladiator monster! The advantage of a Gladitor monster is that they have the Bloodlust ability, which means if they kill a monster they will increase their own stats by one.

He picked the strongest monster in the game, which is Quora Towershed, because she is simply too strong in a long run and if she start killing monsters. 😱

The Terraceous Hulk has the Taunt ability, so even thought the ruleset gave the Opportunity ability to my monsters they had to attack their tank, which was not a big problem, because my team had a huge damage output thanks to the Reach ability from the Possibilus.

In the first round my team almost killed their tank, but in the second round his Quora managed to kill my Hardy Stonefish and increased her own stats by one! 😰

Thanks to my monsters high damage they managed to kill all the enemy monsters on the battlefield by the end of the second round!

Only Quora left, but it is advised not to underestimate her, because if she goes out of control she will be able to win the battle single handedly. 🤭

Luckily 'most' of my monsters hit her in the third round and they managed to overwhelm her and therefore secure the victory for me! 😇

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

I like this ruleset a lot, because it helps to use different strategies than usual and try to take advantage monsters that normally I wouldn't use! 🤫
