I'm about to talk about a battle full of surprises where lobstradamus fought as a one man using its shield ability after battle mates died.
And this battle is definitely worth talking about.
The battle was covered with the standard ruleset (No modification to the standard gameplay rules or mechanics). This ruleset doesn't alter/modify anything so I was feel free to choose any monsters as I wished to.
The mana cap was only 15, which was hard for me to choose good cards but I didn't give up, I chose some cards from what I rented from the rental market according to this little mana cap. I had the chance to choose from any splinter and I chose water splinter for this battle where I had two water monsters with a neutral monster in my lineup strategy.
The summoners: Valnamor is the legendary water summoner that I chose for this battle. This summoner looks good with all the buffs it provides to the friendly monsters. It provides one extra health that's really important for any monster and it provides one extra speed to all friendly monsters, it provides one extra magic attack to all friendly magic monsters.
For the extra magic attack, I intended to choose only magic attackers and I chose two magic monsters first that already used 14 mana out of 15 so later I just used a zero mana melee attacker for the front place.
The opponent team used Lorna Shine for the life element which is a rare summoner providing divine shield ability all monsters of its team and the first time the monster with divine shield ability takes damage, it is ignored which means, all enemy monsters will evade the first damage.
I chose total three monsters where and the opponent team chose five monsters.
So, after choosing Lobstradamus for the first position that reduced damage from melee and ranged attacks, then I chose Spirit Hoarder for the second position that heals the friendly back-line monster that has taken the most damage but unfortunately it did not get to heal any friendly back-line monster as there's no back-line monster later I found out that the monster heal itself as its the back-line monster now.
Then I had only one mana left to use and I didn't have anything for one mana but I had this zero mana melee attacker Torrent Fiend that I chose and sent to the first position so the other monsters had changed their own positions.
This battle was not so cool like the previous one I talked about but we see the rage of Lobstradamus in this battle. We usually eat lobsters but this monster lobster shows how it can eat other monsters. So, at the beginning of the battle, the friendly monsters first got all the things that the summoner promised to provide.
Then the friendly Torrent Fiend started attacking although the first attack was a miss as the enemy monsters got divine shield from their summoner. The next attack from the friendly monster on the same enemy monster was also a loss as the enemy Pelacor Conjurer evaded the magic attack of Spirit Hoarder using flying ability. Then Lobstradamus changed the situation by damaging two health of the enemy monster.
Uraeus and Stitch Leech of enemy team targeted the friendly Spirit Hoarder as those enemy monsters targets the last monster on the enemy team instead of the first monster using sneak ability. Celestial Harpy and Dax Paragon targeted the friendly Torrent Fiend and killed it as well and then Lobstradamus had to take charge as the tank monster. Spirit Hoarder at a point killed the enemy Pelacor Conjurer.
After getting to the first position, Lobstradamus started showing its true face. It damaged the divine shield of an enemy monster and took two damages as well where one was evaded by its shield ability. Spirit Hoarder healed itself up with some health in the meantime. Till Spirit Hoarder was alive, two melee enemy monsters kept attacking that friendly monster but when it died, all enemy monsters targeted the only alive friendly monster Lobstradamus.
There were three enemy monsters where two of them had three health each and the other one had two when Lobstradamus had two magic attack. The friendly monster kept evading one attack from the enemy monsters using shield ability and after the enemy monster lost Celestial Harpy, Lobstradamus needed total eight turn to kill the remaining enemy monsters and the friendly monster had six health itself when the enemy monsters got total four attacks.
Lobstradamus killed the last magic enemy monster at a point and from then, only one enemy monster could damage one health of the friendly monster each round. At a point, attacks of both enemy monsters gone wasted and the friendly monster there got the chance to attack and kill the last opponent monsters.
