Prelude
Good day to all, how are all of you doing? With the Rebellion Soul Bound rewards live for some time now, have you gotten your hands on them? I saw a couple of them being really strong and I can't wait to add them to my collection to become stronger and have a better selection during my battles. Some time back I did a sharing of a fight with summoner Lorkus, today once again I would want to share another battle I had with Lorkus and a bunch of legendary cards that are really strong. Facing such crazy summoners with strong supporting cards are always a tough nut to crack, but the satisfaction of overcoming it always brings so much excitement. A summoner that has battle tactics that can be applied after lineup selection is no easy opponent to compete with as opponent will be able to plant the additional abilities to the right cards to gain the advantage to win the game. So let's get right on to the sharing proper.

Selection Analysis
In the selection for this, I opted for high attack lineup. And since we are able to use Gladius, I included a fast attacking Isgald Vorst to the lineup. Other than Isgald, the lineup was planned with Noa The Just to shave off opponent armour with Rust, Kulu Mastermind to take advantage of reduced armour to strike the backline together with its 2 partner in crime Isgald and Deeplurker. The lineup was completed with the ever reliable Oshannus and the hard hitting Nerissa Tridawn. All of which are rather balanced in stats and output.
On my opponent's end, opponent fielded Grum which is able to have Blood Lust on a non Gladius card followed by the hard hitting Chimney Wallstop which is a Gladius card which can smash from 2nd position with the reach and it does contain a very strong stat line. Following which is Sorriel The Bale which is one crazy card with double striking magic attack which upon boosted by Lorkus hits for a whopping 6 damage per turn. Next will be a crazy high damage melee opportunity card Mordeus. already 3 in a row of 6 attack cards, how am I going to win my opponent. Thankfully the last 2 cards fielded looks to be fodder and backline protection.
I foresee a super tough match facing the super aggressive frontliners from my opponent. And in terms of battle tactics, opponent gave life leech and affliction to Chinmey and Sorriel which is going to make it tougher for me which these card gaining health as they attack.
So let's battle!
Round by Round Synopsis
Round 1 - Game on. The 2 fodder was easily taken out by my opportunist with the front 4 now remain. A double zap from Sorriel left my Noa The Dust becoming dust while it gained a whopping 4 health, which essentially making it tougher to win it. Thankfully not all the attacks from my opponent side landed which I am thankful.
Round 2 - An interesting round where Isgald took out Mordeus and grew in stats. While assault went out towards Grum Flameblade and finally got taken out by Deeplurker. The crazy Sorriel continued its growth till 13 health. Let's hope I can out kill off Chinmey before it grow in stats.
Round 3 - I managed to slam in the kill right before Chinmey able to retaliate and this was done by Kulu Mastermind. However, The double zap from Sorriel once again did its marvel and took out my Kulu Mastermind, while it remained at 11 health. But the good thing is, this is the only card remaining on my opponent's lineup.
Round 4, everyone in my lineup contributed as all had higher speed than Sorriel and finally Nerissa land the fatal blow to secure the victory for me. A great win!
Battle Summary
With the kind of lineup and the boost the cards received from the crazy Lorkus, from the looks of it, it seemed really impossible to win. At many juncture when I look at Sorriel, the double strike gain it so much health. And each of the card can individually take out my lineup. However, Kelya is still amazing with the +1 Armour and +1 speed, to first absorb 1 damage and also to be able to strike earlier than my opponent.
Wrap Up
Feels really great to be able to overcome such a strong lineup with 4 cards capable of landing 5-6 damage on their own and what more, with the battle tactics applied, some can even gain health in such a big magnitude and making it harder to kill them. But nevertheless, a good placement and selection is able to help me overcome such a difficult enemy. The sense of achievement is just so amazing!
