The Goblin Mech is a good frontline due to his tough basic attributes. This monster can really effective when defending most of those lower health ally monsters as it has decent armor and well as health. Aside from being a good defender, he is considered as a dangerous enemy especially when frontline has low armor or health as it has the ability of piercing which damages the armor and then its health if the armor is not enough to sustain its damage. 

If the Goblin Mech is upgraded to Level 6 then he can be more deadly than ever as it has a stun which unable the enemy monster to take a turn to an attack. With this, the advantage belongs to Goblin Mech where most defender will having an issue especially if those monsters are vulnerable to its Stun ability.

## Details 

One battle that I consider that Goblin Mech is really powerful and overpowered all the enemy monsters while taking most of the damage from any attack type.  Aside from that the attack boosts coming from Summoner Daria Dragonscale really help a lot and also Exchanted Pixie who contributed additional attack damage to most of my monsters especially Goblin Mech who takes the most dangerous position of all.

The Goblin Mech is covered by friendly monsters who are really a reliable backup which I include Ferocious Chicken as well.

## My Line Up

<center>https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/card_art/Goblin%20Mech.png</center>
<center>[Image Source](https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/card_art/Goblin%20Mech.png)</center>

In the first position, I take Goblin Mech in charge as he can be a good defensive and offensive monster. Even if its mana cost is 10, still I would consider this monster as the bargain is quite good. It has a decent attack, speed, armor, and health. A good way to defend monsters of any attack type.

<center>https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/card_art/Grumpy%20Dwarf.png</center>
<center>[Image Source](https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/card_art/Grumpy%20Dwarf.png)</center>

In the second position, the Grumpy Dwarf is always ready for a necessary backup as he has a reach activity in which it can attack direct to the enemy even if he is at the back. A throw of an attack coming from Grumpy Dwarf is a headache to the enemy monsters as they are unable to retaliate. The effectiveness of Grumpy Dwarf is really favorable for me.

<center>[Image Source](https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/card_art/Furious%20Chicken.png)</center>

In the third position, I put up Furious chicken as I consider that it can his job if ever both Goblin Mech and Grumpy Dwarf are eliminated early. Aside from that this monster is also considered as dangerous too as it has an additional attack which increases to 3 melee attacks. 

Furious Chicken is a good hold off to the enemy considering that it has a 0 mana cost which we might consider as a free monster. Keeping him in most battle is the best you can do especially when you have still a slot and you don't have available mana anymore for selection of monster. I can consider Furious Chicken as my last option of monster.

<center>[Image Source](https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/card_art/Enchanted%20Pixie.png)</center>

In the fourth position, I put up Enchanted Pixie as it can be an effective magic monster and a good backup especially when you only need a 3 mana cost with the benefit of Flying and a boost of additional melee attacks with its Inspire ability. It has 3-speed attribute also which helps her to have the opportunity to attack early.

<center>https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/card_art/Serpentine%20Mystic.png</center>
<center>[Image Source](https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/card_art/Serpentine%20Mystic.png)</center>

In the fifth position is Serpentine Mystic where it can attack from afar plus it has Affliction skill which prohibits monster to heal whenever it damages it. A good magic attack type monster which just a 3 mana cost the same with Enchanted Pixie.

<center>https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/card_art/Elven%20Cutthroat.png</center>
<center>[Image Source](https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/card_art/Elven%20Cutthroat.png)</center>

And lastly, Elven Cutthroat a good assassin that silently eliminates the enemy monsters one by one whenever it has the opportunity. Eliminating those monsters at the back that are usually in low health. But since the battle is an equalizer, Elven Cutthroat cannot do it but still, it can be a good contributor as a backup melee attacker.

## The Battle

In Round 1, my Enchanted Pixie is being targetted aside from my Goblin Mech. My Goblin Mech now down to armor 1 due to massive attack coming from Undead Rexx who has a 5 melee attack. His Twisted Jester has the opportunity of Sniping my Enchanted Pixie as well as its Death Elemental.

I have no healer on my line up so toughness of Enchanted Pixie and Goblin Mech is what I am relying on for now.

At Round 2, two of enemy monsters were eliminated, Undead Rexx and Cursed Slimeball which eliminates two of its melee attacks. Now remaining monsters are both magic and ranged which still can be considered as a threat since I am looking for a no casualty victory.

In Round 3, both Twisted Jester and Death Elemental are heavily attacked which resulted in their defeats. Now remaining enemies are Creeping Ooze which is not a threat anymore but Boogeyman is still waiting for a good kill towards my Goblin Mech who has only remained 2 life. 

The survival of my Goblin Mech is at stake if it can get a backup from allied monsters are the back.

In Round 4, luckily Creeping Ooze was eliminated fast which gives the opportunity for backup monsters to hit Boogeyman. The Goblin Mech is not that merciful as he finishes Boogeyman as an overkill.

## Analysis

The combination of Goblin Mech, Grumpy Dwarf, and Elven Cutthroat are really good especially when they get boosted up for additional melee attacks. I consider this as an advantage battle as I have enough boosted attacks even if I got only two magic monsters with 1 attack. 

Even if my monsters are get slowed, still they manage to retaliate and finish the battle with a victory.
