# Intro
Disintegrator. Nice monster to play when you expect a melee battle. I occasionally use this monster when the rule-set allows it. I more often play magic in the lower league. This is where i'm playing in silver III.

I own a level 3, it has a nice ability "demoralize" which reduces the opponent melee damage by 1. Even a good tank that can take some beating in the front. in combination with Tarsa it gets 3 melee damage which is nice :).

Medium mana game so still a chance we get an magic opponent so we need some opportunity and if we hit a melee team the disintegrator will help here

<div class="pull-right">https://images.hive.blog/300x0/https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/card_art/Living%20Lava.png</div>

**Living Lava (lvl 1):**
This monster I often place in my team. The shield reduces damage and it can withstand many punches.
When the battle has less mana I also often use Antoid Platoon, also with shield.

<div class="pull-left">https://images.hive.blog/300x0/https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/card_art/Scorch%20Fiend.png</div>

**Scorch Fiend (lvl 1):**
Meat shield in second place to prevent any opportunity monster from hitting my serpentine spy, at least for one round to survive.

<div class="pull-right">https://images.hive.blog/300x0/https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/card_art/Disintegrator.png</div>

**Disintegrator  (lvl 3):**
Star of this week, if the opponent also selects a melee team this will reduce his attack by 1. When my living lava monster is dead this will get in front, with a nice shield and good amount of health. With the melee mayhem it can also hit in the first round so that is extra incentive to select him.

<div class="pull-left">https://images.hive.blog/300x0/https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/card_art/Serpentine%20Spy.png</div>

**Serpentine Spy (lvl 1):**
I almost always play him when i play fire I like the opportunity skill.

<div class="pull-right">https://images.hive.blog/300x0/https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/card_art/Tenyii%20Striker.png</div>

**Tenyii Striker (lvl2):**
For me also a very often used monster in the back-line with the sneak attack in combination with the serpentine spy a good combination to hit the back-line of the opponent.

**Start :**
Pretty similar setup of my opponent i have some advantage of the level 2 and 3 monsters but he has selected more meat shields, with melee so they still can hit in this battle.


![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/beaker007/EoAYFuUUp6QYvycTUNTNF1oyFSq98tyLV5fxvvMxFWmEwedp7p27mVzhPYHVHKKXdKq.png)
**Round 1:**
Meat shield gone as expected and my living lava monster has taken a lot of damage. Hopefully my spy may hit first to kill his spy. Next round my living lava monster will die then the disintegrator will be in front.

**Round 2:**
Nice to see my spy has hit first which make it possible to win but my opponent also still is looking strong.

**Round 3:** 
Table is turning because i killed his disintegrator. My speed in now in my advantage first will my Tenyii Striker and my spy hit killing the living lava monster and the Radiated Scorcher. leaving the Kobold Bruiser to kill the disintegrator.

**Round 4:**
Nice to see that the speed is is helping me. also in the last round i will kill him first before he can hit me.

**Round 5:**
Win, because of the speed on my monsters i was able to almost always hit first and kill his monster before he could hit me.

# Conclusion
Strategy worked! Nice see the advantage when you have selected some monsters with some (not a lot) higher speed. 



Tanks all for reading until next week.
