Introduction

As commented on Greengineer (2022-a), several powerful monsters were introduced to the game with the Riftwatchers Set release. In this post I will present a battle with the participation of the mighty Agor Longtail:

Agor Longtail Lvl 04

  • Flying: Has increased evasion against monsters that don't have this skill.
  • Taunt: Provokes enemies to attack the card that has this ability. Monsters with Scattershot are not affected.
  • Void Shield: Magic attacks reduce Shield before reducing this card's HP.
  • Heal: Recovers 1/3 of own HP, rounded down.

Agor Longtail is a very strong card, with abilities that allow it to take a lot of damage and make the opponent lose a few rounds to kill it. Its biggest disadvantage is its high MP cost, currently being the highest in the game, superior even to Chaos Dragon. Cards with Triage or Tank Heal (depending on the position you decide to place it) are good to help you deal with enemy attacks, as are Repair and Resurrect due to the presence of the Void Shield ability.

The strategy before the battle

The game had the Close Range and Holy Protection rules active, 48 MP available, and only the Water and Life Splinters were disabled. Being a high MP game I saw the opportunity to repeat the strategy presented in Greengineer (2022-b), where I used Mycelic Slipspawn with Taunt in the backline and Grund and Orc Sergeant in the first two positions. The only change was that I used Summoner Quix The Devious to exchange Mycelic Slipspawn for Agor Longtail.

Once the Summoner, the tanks and the backline were selected, I tried to put a monster with Reflection Shield next to Agor to hold a possible Blast. For this role I selected Runic Skyclaw. In fourth position I put Queen Mycelia with Protect, Amplify and Triage and with the remaining 1 MP I selected Epona with Strengthen in third position.

Once the team was assembled, I was hoping that there was no Affliction on the enemy team and luckily for me this did not happen:

The battle

My opponent came with Summoner Yodin Zaku, with Forgotten One as a tank with Immunity, Retaliate, and Piercing. In second position he had the Tortisian Chief with Tank Heal. In third and fourth positions he had Gem Meteor and Blood Maker with Scattershot. In fifth position was War Chaang with Retaliate. In the last position was Countess Sinash with Opportunity and Camouflage.

My opponent came with a very offensive and dangerous team. Despite my Quix reducing part of its advantage by decreasing the damage of the ranged attack and Agor attracting attacks to a position where I didn't have to worry about Blast, there were 02 monsters with the Scattershot ability that would be immune to Agor's Taunt . Also, Forgotten One's Retaliate could get me into trouble if I didn't eliminate it quickly.

In the first round, no monsters were eliminated.

In the second round I eliminated Forgotten One and Tortisian Chief.

In the fourth round Queen Mycelia was eliminated with Blood Maker's attack. The Meteor Gem was subsequently eliminated by Agor. The Grund eliminated the Blood Maker and activated trample, removing War Chaang's Divine Shield. War Chaang eliminated Grund and Orc Sergeant with the ranged attack and Epona with the melee attack.

In the fourth round, no monsters were killed.

In the sixth round Agor eliminated Countess Sinash ensuring my team's victory.

Agor had no trouble surviving throughout the match, relying on her Heal skill and Queen Mycelia's Triage. My front line didn't last long, but it managed to create the opening needed to finish the enemy team.

Introdução

Como comentado em Greengineer (2022-a), vários monstros poderosos foram introduzidos no jogo com o lançamento do Set Riftwatchers. Neste post apresentarei uma batalha com a participação da poderosa Agor Longtail:

Agor Longtail Lvl 04

  • Flying: Tem um aumento da evasão contra monstros que não possuem esta habilidade.
  • Taunt: Provoca os inimigos para que ataquem a carta portadora desta habilidade. Monstros com Scattershot não são afetados.
  • Void Shield: Os ataques mágicos reduzem o Shield antes de reduzir o HP desta carta.
  • Heal: Recupera 1/3 do próprio HP, arredondado para baixo.

A Agor Longtail é uma carta muito forte, com habilidades que permitem aguentar muito dano e fazer com que o oponente perca alguns rounds para abatê-la. Sua maior desvantagem é seu alto custo de MP, sendo atualmente o maior do jogo, superior até mesmo ao do Chaos Dragon. Cartas com Triage ou Tank Heal (dependendo da posição que decidir colocá-la) são boas para auxiliá-la a lidar com os ataques inimigos, assim como Repair e Resurrect devido à presença habilidade Void Shield.

A estratégia antes da batalha

A partida possuía as regras Close Range e Holy Protection ativas, 48 de MP disponíveis e apenas os Splinters da Água e da Vida estavam desabilitados. Sendo uma partida com MP alto vi a oportunidade de repetir a estratégia apresentada em Greengineer (2022-b), onde eu utilizei o Mycelic Slipspawn com Taunt na backline e o Grund e o Orc Sergeant nas duas primeiras posições. A única mudança foi eu utilizar o Summoner Quix The Devious para trocar o Mycelic Slipspawn pela Agor Longtail.

Uma vez selecionados o Summoner, os tanques e a backline busquei colocar um monstro com Reflection Shield ao lado da Agor para segurar um possível Blast. Para este papel selecionei o Runic Skyclaw. Na quarta posição coloquei a Queen Mycelia com Protect, Amplify e Triage e com o 1 de MP restante selecionei a Epona com Strengthen na terceira posição.

Uma vez montado o time era torcer que não houvesse Affliction na equipe inimiga e para minha sorte isto não aconteceu:

A batalha

Meu oponente veio com o Summoner Yodin Zaku, com o Forgotten One como tanque com Immunity, Retaliate e Piercing. Na segunda posição ele contava com o Tortisian Chief com Tank Heal. Nas terceiras e quarta posições ele tinha o Gem Meteor e o Blood Maker com Scattershot. Na quinta posição estava o War Chaang com Retaliate. Na última posição tinha a Countess Sinash com Opportunity e Camouflage.

Meu oponente veio com um time bem ofensivo e perigoso. Apesar de meu Quix reduzir parte de sua vantagem ao diminuir o dano do ataque à distância e da Agor atrair os ataques para uma posição que eu não precisasse me preocupar com o Blast, haviam 02 monstros com a habilidade Scattershot que ficariam imunes ao Taunt da Agor. Além disto o Retaliate do Forgotten One poderia me causar problemas se eu não o eliminasse rapidamente.

No primeiro round nenhum monstro foi eliminado.

No segundo round eliminei o Forgotten One e o Tortisian Chief.

03 Round Agor Longtail.png

No quarto round a Queen Mycelia foi eliminada com o ataque do Blood Maker. O Gem Meteor foi eliminado na sequência pela Agor. O Grund eliminou o Blood Maker e ativou trample, retirando o Divine Shield do War Chaang. O War Chaang eliminou o Grund e o Orc Sergeant com o ataque à distância e a Epona com o ataque melee.

No quarto round nenhum monstro foi abatido.

05 Round Agor Longtail.png

No quinto round o War Chaang foi eliminado, restando apenas um inimigo no campo de batalha.

06 Round Agor Longtail.png

No sexto round a Agor eliminou a Countess Sinash garantindo a vitória de minha equipe.

06-2 Round Agor Longtail.png

A Agor não teve dificuldade em sobreviver ao longo da partida, contando com sua habilidade Heal e o Triage da Queen Mycelia. Minha linha de frente não durou muito, mas conseguiu criar a abertura necessária para finalizar com a equipe inimiga.
