Today, I want to share a battle with all the strategic and deck-building skills from an arsenal of monsters. That is why, this battle deserves to be on the *battle of the day* spot with the other top-tier posts.

Without further ado, let's begin!

### **Battle Conditions**

\
The mana cap is 44 and there are 4 summoners to choose from: Fire, Nature, Life, and Death. 

***Battle Rules:-***

- **Are you not entertained?:** *One additional gladiator cad may be used in battle.*
- **Blood and Sunder:** *All units gain corrosive ward.*
- **Rise of the commons:** *Only common and rare monsters may be used in battle.*

Using the battle rules and keeping the mana cap in mind, any party can easily make up the deck with the vicious monsters in a certain lineup that could be centered around 3 or even 4 monsters which is more than enough, given that they might cost a huge mana, to carry a team.

### **Battle Details**

Let's start from my side:

Summoner: **Thaddius Brood**(Ability: *Decrease in Hp and magic damage by 1 for all enemy monsters*)(level 5)

Tank: **Cursed Windeku**(Ability: *Thorns, Heal*).

Melee Attackers: **Arachne Thug**(Ability: *Reach, Trample*), **Silent Sha-vi**(Ability: *Sneak, Cripple*).

Ranged Attackers: **Queen of Crows**(Ability: *Close Range, Headwinds*), **Liza Fox**(Ability: *bloodlust*), **Dhampir Stalker**(Ability: *True strike, Deathblow*).

My strategy was to hit the enemy deck from all sides while trying to decrease his overall damage using the *headwinds* ability. I took a chance with the *bloodlust* attacker and hoped it would get to finish up the enemy team by triggering that ability. Most importantly, I ensured a sustainable tank with strong support hence I chose **Windeku** as a tank and **Thug** just behind it. 

My overall damage per round is 21 and 3 healing.

Now for the opposition's turn.

Summoner: **Thaddius Brood**(Ability: *Decrease in Hp and magic damage by 1 for all enemy monsters*)(Level 4)

Tank: **Cursed Windeku**(Ability: *Thorns*).

Blocked Melee attacker: **Disintegrater**(Ability:  *Demoralize, trample*).

Melee Attacker: **Silent Sha-vi**(Ability: *Sneak*).

Ranged Attackers: **Supply Runner**(Ability: *Swiftness*), **Daigendark Hunter**(Ability: *Sneak*).

Magic Attacker: **Helheim Demon**(Ability: *Flying, Taunt*). 

His strategy was to reduce my overall melee damage by 1 while diverting all the incoming damage toward a single tank and attacking me from the back and front with equal damage. 

His overall damage per round is 13.

### **Major Events**

![Round 1]()

![Screenshot (2034).png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/allama/23t7BUQ3Vj6oPEH8TXiRifmTLonJKiCFmdhtmV6pBtqk2BZwv58wg9FQnfrR9woMne6qz.png)
\
The first enemy to fall was my **Sha-vi** as his damage from the backlines along with the increased speed, made his deck a force to be reckoned with.

\
At the end of the round, his **Demon** falls thanks to my **Fox**, and thus a *bloodlust* was triggered. My overall damage was down by 2 only.

\
Next, it was my **Stalker** who fell thanks to his *sneak* attackers of the round that had started.

\
Soon after, his tank followed my ranged attacker and bit the dust thanks to my **Fox** and triggered the *bloodlust*. Thus, both of our overall damage per round was lowered significantly.

\
**Fox** shot first at the start of the round and triggered the *bloodlust* again. Thus, my original melee damage was restored.

![Round 4]()

\
At the very start of the round, **Liza** eliminates his **Sha-vi** and gains a stats boost, thus his **Supply Runner** was a mere pawn with 0 defense.

![Round 5]()

\
And finally, **Liza** deleted the last standing enemy with a crushing damage of 8 and triggered her bloodlust* again.

### **Results**
At first glance, his deck is super realistic except for the **Dinintegrater**. That used up the space of a potential attacker who could've supported his tank like my **Arachne Thug** did to my tank. His strategy to hit me from the back was a huge success and if my **Liza** had missed one shot, it would've been game over for me long ago. And, I got an edge with the tank as mine could *self-heal*, therefore, it could always return to its full HP.
