|Battle Rulesets|Description|Info|
|-|-|-|
|FIRE AND REGRET|All Monsters have the Return Fire ability.|Try to avoid ranged monsters.|
|EXPLOSIVE WEAPONRY|All Monsters have the Blast ability.|The best strategy is to have fast monsters with Snipe, Sneak, Opportunity. For defense, Shield and Void will come in handy.|
|EQUAL OPPORTUNITY|All Monsters have the Opportunity ability.|Speed and HP is the trick here: higher speed will let you target enemy's low HP monster first, opening the way for your slower monsters to deal damage to higher HP enemy monsters. Keep lower HP monsters in front. Monsters who have two attack types should always be preferred.|

### Lineup
It was a low-mana diamond league game with opportunity ruleset.

|Card|Strategy|
|-|-|
|https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_by_level/promo/Lux%20Vega_lv4.png|**Lux Vega** - My default choice in most of the games. As most of the time, her stats are ideal for this game.|
|https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_by_level/chaos/Chaos%20Agent_lv10.png|**Chaos Agent** - Good low mana tank or backline tank, but in this case cause the Opportunity ruleset I used it as a tank and hoped it can survive or dodge a lot of attacks.|
|https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_by_level/reward/Venator%20Kinjo_lv4.png|**Venator Kinjo** - Ideal choice for this game, low mana, can attack cause ruleset and not damaged by blast. Reflection Shield is always a good choice for blast games.|
|https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_by_level/chaos/Gargoya%20Scrapper_lv10.png|**Gargoya Scrapper** - I put it for fill the battle, but it was not a bad choice.|
|https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_by_level/chaos/Celestial%20Harpy_lv8.png|**Celestial Harpy** - One of my new favorite low mana Life card, in every low mana game I use it.|
|https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_by_level/reward/Vulguine_lv8.png|**Vulguine** - Good 2 mana Life monster, with high health it is a good fit.|
|https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_by_level/chaos/Time%20Mage_lv8.png|**Time Mage** - Nowadays teams with a lot of armor are very common. So decreasing armor and speed is always a good option. 3 magic damage for 4 mana is also a good value.|

### Did your strategy work? What will you try differently next time?
Very unluckily it didn't work (my enemy has only 2% chance to win), but I will not change anything next time. I will have more luck I think :)

### Do you like EXPLOSIVE WEAPONRY ruleset? Why or why not?
Yes, I like this ruleset. Opportunity monsters always one of my favorites and in this rulesets they can dominate :)
