Secret battle mage melee attack from any position
Melee attacking monsters can be categorized among some ranked formidable monsters in splinterland when given special abilities in ruleset like this to attack from any position they can be even more deadly with their attacking abilities, although playing such ruleset requires using some special strategies going all in with melee monster could be dangerous since the ruleset doesn't limit adding more monsters with other abilities, we can't overestimate our opponent strategy, if they eventually come up with more magic attacking monsters they can easily counter a player strategy therefore having a combo of some melee and magic monsters in this ruleset can increase ones chance of winning in the battle arena without further ado let's delve into the battle detail with some interesting playing strategy.
Battle ruleset
Melee Mayhem this week battle ruleset requires playing with monster with melee ability additional these melee monsters have ability to attack an opponent frontline monsters from any position, as such having good shield tank monster and shield repair can boost one's chance of winning the ruleset doesn't restrict only the use of melee attacking monsters which means one can come up with some additional magic, thorn and range attacking monsters to up their strategy.
Battle detail
For this battle ruleset each player were given 36 cost mana cap to come up with their lineup my opponent chose earth element monster for this ruleset while I came up with water element for this battle my opportunity monster did quite incredible during the battle although my double attacking soulbond monster did great with it's double strike attack coming up with an extra magic monsters which focus on monsters health instead of shield added to my victory.
Battle lineup
DIEMONSHARK this monster has good shield which makes it best suit for a frontline tank it also has additional health although not best for a tank if faced with multiple magic damage it shield will be of no use since there are good chance of my opponent coming up with some melee monster it will be a good placement in the frontline as tank, this monster have special ability of attacking another monster once it kill it first target giving more attacking chances it good speed and slashing attack can be dangerous when it hits an opponent.
DJINN OSHANNUS Next monster is a magic attack monster with void ability it is placed on the second row because of it good health and can also withstand multiple magic attacks should in case my opponent come up with some magic monsters it will also be used to support my tank with it good magic reflection and it good speed.
COASTAL SENTRY It has special ability to attack twice since it's a ruleset that allows striking from any position this monster can be used to easily eliminate more monsters from my opponent lineup it has good slashing attack although it health will not make it suitable for tank but can be used to take advantage of my opponent with it double attack ability.
DEEPLURKER an opportunity monster with melee attack, this monster was placed to eliminate monsters with magic attackers it's quite commendable to predict an opponent move and come up with different tactical moves that will nullify an opponent strategy.
My strategy
My strategy for this ruleset was to place a good shield monster as tank which will be followed by a subsequent magic monster that will support my tank the magic monster was also placed as an option B tank incase my first tank was to be eliminated, my COASTAL SENTRY monster will be doing the all position attack along with my opportunity monster that will be looking for my opponent weak link and eliminate them strategically as the battle is ongoing.
Did my strategy worked?
Sure, it did worked out although I underestimate my opponent ability they came up with a DISINTEGRATOR that reduce all melee attacking by -1 this reduces my damaging impact when attacking my opponent although turns out in the last lap my opponent was defeated leading to my victory.
Battle arena
The battle field is set and we are about to rumble with each melee monster having ability to attack from any position and my opponent DISINTEGRATOR's ability activated on my monsters. The battle lasted five rounds leaving me with only two monster to emerge victorious.
Round 1 at this first round my opportunity monster strike my opponent backline range attack monster and it was eliminated in one strike this can't finalize who will be the winner though.
Round 2 in the next round my tank was eliminated as well as that of my opponent their magic attacking monsters have made my tank shield to be of little use.
Round 3 my plan B tank was very helpful as it stood out to hold the battle ground while my double strike and opportunity monster continue to damage my opponent health stat.
Round 4 at the end of round four my opponent DISINTEGRATOR and magic attack monster were eliminated leaving my opponent with little or no chance of survival.
Round 5 was a quick rap my opportunity monster and double strike monster were left with my opponent healing monster which can't stand a chance against these two formidable monsters.
