As you can see I have used low mana cards in my battle because of the Equalizer
ruleset. I used only four cards because allowed mana was only 13.
Battle Ruleset

The ruleset was of
Equalizer
. The mana cap was 13
and Fire, Water, Death, Dragon Summoners were active.![linebreak.png](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmajjFjSnQwSsHB4B8jvVDFfAfZa6FeJy4HKtJcSdwkKC6/linebreak.png)
Battle Summoner
![Bortus_lv3.png](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmSSMC4HtkEmtHcwNvkySwvhbJrENvq7WCTDJhvEda8thJ/Bortus_lv3.png)
I choose
BORTUS
as a Summoner for this battle, which is an Untamed edition Rare Water Summoner. The ability of this Summoner is that It reduces -1
Magic attack of all Magic attack Monsters of the enemy team. Currently, I have level 3.
1. FURIOUS CHICKEN
![Furious Chicken_lv3.png](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://images.hive.blog/DQmUvVyVYHYXVDCRYkTdGjmy2YQ1kFagMC2n7uecadLz22J/Furious%20Chicken_lv3.png)
In the first position, I used
FURIOUS CHICKEN
which is a Rare Neutral Monster. I used it in the first position because of Equalizer
ruleset and also it costs 0 mana so it will stay for a while in the first position. I have upgraded to level 3 for the melee attack.
2. ICE PIXIE
![Ice Pixie_lv1.png](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmah2H8LeDBJ45C3SaonyYc7SSkEecU7yhSLzAxxReMECR/Ice%20Pixie_lv1.png)
In the second position, I used
ICE PIXIE
which is a Magic attack Rare Water Monster. Mostly I am using this Monster in the Earthquake
ruleset because it has a Flying
(Has an increased chance of evading Melee or Ranged attacks from Monsters who do not have the Flying ability) ability. I used it in the second position because I was thinking if FURIOUS CHICKEN
dies it will come to the first position. At level 5 it gains one more ability Shatter
.
3. CRUSTACEAN KING
![Crustacean King_lv3.png](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVyynhZ4nkWnTYGH41SxmNYkHydJrZbjhM74frnLnz3wL/Crustacean%20King_lv3.png)
In the third position, I used
CRUSTACEAN KING
which is a Ranged attack Common Water Splinter Monster. It has Tank Heal
(Restores a portion of the Monster in the first position's health each round) ability. I used it in the third position because of its ranged attack and will restore health of the monster in the first position. I have upgraded it to level 3 for -1 ranged damage.
4. GIANT SQUID
![Giant Squid_lv1.png](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmWiXZDGiGPrxZg3pJu6fki1tpozngJoW5qivyaebSiuw9/Giant%20Squid_lv1.png)
In the fourth position, I used the theme of the weekly challenge
GIANT SQUID
which is a Ranged attack Rare water Splinter Monster. At the lower level, it has no ability and gives -2 ranged damage in each round. I used it in the fourth position because it is a ranged attack Monster and can only attack from distance. I have currently level 1 and will soon upgrade it to level 4.![linebreak.png](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmajjFjSnQwSsHB4B8jvVDFfAfZa6FeJy4HKtJcSdwkKC6/linebreak.png)

Did your strategy work?
Yes, my strategy worked very well and I won this battle.

Do you use the GIANT SQUID often? Why or why not?
No, I don't often use GIANT SQUID
in my battles because I was not aware of this Monster that it really exists and secondly, I have upgraded WATER ELEMENTAL
to level to 3 which gives -3 Ranged damage so mostly I am using it in my battles whenever I am playing with the Water Splinter. The GIANT SQUID
looks very promising at the higher level by gaining Blind
and Weaken
abilities. I will upgrade this Monster for Blind
ability when I upgrade my Summoner to level 4.
