DETAILED Review of the ACTUAL Battle Video - Steem Monsters Gameplay Mechanics

Hey all,

I've performed a deep analysis on the gameplay battle video that @steemmonsters added to their Gameplay Mechanics post.

Here's the video, just in case you somehow missed it or would like to view it again:

After going through each "round of attack", I created a spreadsheet of a step-by-step of what is happening throughout the entire battle.

If you're trying to understand what's happening in the video or simply like to see an overview of what happened, then this post is for you! 😃

I hope you find it interesting, as I certainly had fun creating the breakdown.

(C) = Common
(R) = Rare
(E) = Epic

As you can see in Attack #8, I found a visual bug that shows a fireball coming from the Goblin Shaman's last position, when it should be coming from where he currently sits. If you would like to see this bug, click here to see it at the exact timeframe it appears in the video (which is at 0:36).

To the left is a screenshot, if that's your cup of tea.

As you read through the attacks above, you'll notice that I've attempted to discover which abilities these monsters have. I believe what we can discern from the video is the following:

Monster	Abilities
Pit Ogre	No Abilities!
Goblin Shaman	No Abilities!
Serpentine Soldier	Dodge Monsters with Dodge have a higher chance of evading Melee and Ranged attacks.   I'm guessing Dodge here, as he evaded an attack... but it's possible his "Speed" is just very high (we did not see the word "Dodge!" overlayed).   Thorns When hit with a Melee attack, Monsters with the Thorns ability will do guaranteed Melee damage back to the attacker.
Haunted Spirit	Magic Reflect When hit with a Magic attack, Monsters with the Magic Reflect ability will reflect a portion of the Magic damage back to the attacker.   Heal Monsters with Heal will restore a portion of their Health at the start of each round.
Enchantress of the Night	No Abilities!
Skeleton Assassin	Sneak Monsters with Sneak will attack the last Monster on the opposing Team instead of the first, and may Melee attack even when not in the first position.   Again, this is a guess because he attacked first, even though he's not in first position nor has the highest "Speed".

So, there you have it!
I hope you enjoyed reading through all this, as there's a lot of information here.

As @yabapmatt, @aggroed and @steemmonsters stated though, this is all just "Alpha" right now, so things are highly subject to change.

I'm going to tag a few people here that I think would love to see this post,
and if I'm wrong, I apologize greatly!!
