CHALLENGE RULES

RULESET: BACK TO BASICS

Description: Units lose all abilities.

Info: Summoner effects are still active.

The Battle

Battle Rulesets	Description	Info
BACK TO BASICS	Monsters lose all abilities.	Back row monsters are safe from enemy's Sneak, Snipe and Opportunity attacks. The ruleset places importance on Magic and Ranged attacks as melee attacks loose their ability to hit outside of the first position. Select monsters with high speed and choose a summoner that increases damage or defense against Magic or Ranged attacks. Lining up monsters in ascending order of their health is the way to go.
WHAT DOESNT KILL YOU	All Monsters have the Enrage ability.	Increase Melee attack and Speed when damaged. Values are multiplied by 1.5 and rounded up. Prefer Melee monsters with Sneak, Opportunity in the back row.
REVERSE SPEED	Monsters with the lowest Speed attack first and have the highest chance of evading attacks.	Try to pick monsters with 1 speed because they have the best chance of evading Melee and Ranged attacks. Beware of monsters with Enrage and Last Stand, these abilities increase speed when activated

Lineup

It was high-mana slow game so I decided I use some slow magic monsters.

Card	Strategy
	Immortalis - In back to the basic games the key is the summoner. Immortalis has 3 good abilities, -1 health always useful, and the void ability was the key in this game.
	Mycelic Infantry - Without abilities, it is a good monster for this game, especially cause the 1 speed.
	Grund - Also a big monster for this game, pure stats are strong enough.
	Terraceous Grunt - My third tank in this game, the conception behind this was that the enemy should defeat 10+13+12 health before rich my DPS monsters. I like this card, because it was one of my first maximum-level soulbound cards.
	Magi of Chaos - Natural magic monster with good base stats. Suitable for almost every back to the basic game.
	Hunter Jarx - Good stats and slow enough, perfect for this game.
	Goblin Tower - Big damage, low speed also great for this game.

Battle - Replay

Did your strategy work? What will you try differently next time?

Yes. Enemy magic-heavy team had no chance, I won't change anything next time.
