This time we will talk about the Aimless condition, this condition activates the Scattershot ability, which allows the monsters to generate random attacks, that is, they would not have a fixed target. Normally I like to use magic or ranged attack cards to try to improve attacks, since I can reach any monster on the field, but in this battle I will analyze and describe a battle with direct attack cards and as an extra I will place a battle with magic cards.
For this battle the maximum mana was 42, so I used Possiblus the Wise as a summoner, because this summoner can give me many necessary abilities, mainly Trample; then I placed Sea Monster, this card increases life and can resist in the battle, in the second position I placed Coastal Sentry, this card can produce multiple attacks so it will be important in the strategy.
In the fourth position I used a filler card, I mean Hardy Stonefish, it would fulfill the mission of making attacks from behind, but when it will advance to the second position; then there was Merdaali Guardian, it would serve to heal the team's cards, further back are Deeplurker, the advantage of this card is that it can attack from anywhere and finally was Swamp Spitter, this card would restore the team's shield and could also make ranged attacks.
While my opponent used a water element team, the summoner was Kelya Frendul, plus Coastal Sentry, Flying Squid, River Hellondale, Merdaali Guardian, Deeplurker and Angelic Mandarin. In other words, my opponent and I had three identical cards, but the strategies were totally different.

In the first Round, the cards were in the process of wearing out, the first to be destroyed was Merdaali Guardian on my opponent's side of the field, but the card was resurrected by the power of River Hellondale. So no card was destroyed.
During the next round, on both sides of the field we lost the first card of the team, i.e. on my team I lost Sea Monster and my opponent lost Coastal Sentry.
The third round was similar, as only two cards were destroyed, in my team Hardy Stonefish was destroyed and in my opponent's side Merdaali Guardian was destroyed, from here the power of Coastal Sentry started to appear.
So in round four, my team's healing card was destroyed, i.e. Merdaali Guardian, but I was able to destroy Flying Squid, River Hellondale and Deeplurker. While in round five, I was able to finish off my opponent's last card, this was Angelic Mandarin.
Conclusion.
The Aimless condition offers many advantages, and if we use cards with the ability to attack several times or with the ability Blast, as we can cause more wear on the opponent, it is also advisable to use cards attacking distance or magic, so all will attack, but if we use direct attack cards, some will be limited and will not be able to attack. In the previous battle, I used a different strategy, but the objective was to use Trample and the double attack of Coastal Sentry, and in the end the strategy worked.
Now I will show an extra battle, this is with a magic team, this strategy is more common when the Aimless condition is present in a battle.
