This is how I determine my strategy in battles. Before I start the battles, I review the last 5 battles of the opponent in detail, then I determine my strategy by considering the rulesets of the battle. But first of all, I can clearly say that I determined my strategy according to the opponent. Many players strategize according to the ruleset of the battle and some of those players can be very powerful in the current battle's ruleset, so I may need to strategize differently and better in order to win the battle. Let's examine this in a battle.

**Battle Ruleset**
- **Melee Mayhem rule** :  Melee attack Monsters can attack from any position.
- **Ferocity rule** : All Monsters have the Fury ability.

Because the Battle had the Melee Mayhem ruleset, Melee Attack Monsters would be able to attack from any position. So it seemed more logical to use Melee Attack Monsters in this battle. But when I reviewed the last 5 battles of the opposing player, I was sure that the opposing player would choose the Mylor Crowling summoner in this battle. Mylor Crowling is a summoner that gives the Thorns Ability to all friendly monsters.

- **Thorns Ability** : When hit with a Melee attack, does damage back to the attacker.

That's why it wouldn't be wise for me to choose melee attack monsters in this battle because otherwise I would have lost the battle. That's why I preferred magic attack monsters in this battle. If I had not strategized according to the opponent in this battle, I would have definitely lost the battle, but because I did not do this, I won the battle.
