The Reflection Shield ability monsters were introduced to the game not long ago, they are a good counter to Zaku and Explosive Weaponry battles.  
Venari Marksrat's Martyr ability to the game brought a twist to how Explosive Weaponry battles are approached. <em>Kill a Martyr ability card of mine so monsters or gladiators adjacent to it can benefit</em> has become an approach to Explosive Weaponry battles players are utilizing on the battlefield.

Explosive Weaponry: All monsters have the blast ability. 

As seen below in the lineup Venari Marksrat's is to impact the fight a great deal. let us see how I got away with a victory.

For my lineup, AGOR LONGTAIL led the frontline with Flight, Taunt, and Void Armor [abilities](https://leofinance.io/posts/@leoglossary/leoglossary-abilities). It is a challenge keeping Agor in the battle without a Tank Heal but the Repair Ability from Brightwing, it helped a great deal. 

Even though Agor is a main target for the enemy [monsters](https://leofinance.io/posts/@leoglossary/leoglossary-monster), it is not one to get rid of easily, before the end of the first round Agor gained +2 damage of magic and melee, and with that, Agor was unstoppable.

For me and my opponent, it was a matter of wishing our VENARI MARKSRAT is eliminated sooner for the Martyr ability. 

As planned Agor and Celestial Harpy benefited from the Martyr ability of Marksrat.

It only costs 2 mana for CELESTIAL HARPY but the melee damage of 4 looks great on Harpy with a speed of 3. It is amazing how the power of these monsters is boosted with Martyr ability. 

CELESTIAL HARPY taking out DJINN RENOVA in the second round was a pleasing move for the team considering the Triage ability of RENOVA which potentially could be troublesome to deal with.

ADELADE BRIGHTWING provides the Repair ability from the fourth spot in the lineup. The Resurrection ability gave Marksrat a second chance on the battlefield which in turn was a benefit for Agor and Harpy as they both benefited from the martyr ability.

A notable beast on both opposing sides is CHAOS DRAGON with Flight and Scattershot abilities. Both attacked at random as they are known for. Even though CHAOS DRAGON has the Blast ability from level 2, using it in an Explosive Weaponry and Earthquake ruleset fight makes the might of the beast more damaging.

URAEUS was in the backline tasked to provide the Sneak attack on Uriel, it survived the battle being a none Flight ability monster.
