Are you melee monster fan like me? If yes then this weeks ruleset is surely for you. I love adding melee monster to my battle lineup sneak and opportunity monsters are always a good choice option when carefully selecting my battle strategy.
This week's ruleset equal opportunity isn't for the weak it requires a good level of strategy to take out your opponent.
Hint
All monsters have the opportunity ability.
Opportunity monsters attacks weakest opponent lineup
Monsterw with low health stats are considered the weakling in a lineup.
Good shield and shield repairs can go a long way
Taunt monster can be a good distraction source.
There is no room for weakness in this ruleset as speed and attack are very essential.
In this ruleset I took out my opponent using fire element monster while my opponent came up with death element monster below is the battle link for this ruleset.
Battle ruleset
All monsters in battle arena have opportunity ability this ability allows lineup monster to attack monsters on each opponent side with the lowest health stat. The ruleset isn't just limited to melee monster all ability monster can he used in this ruleset which mean both melee, magic range and fire reflection monster can be used in the battle arena it hard in this ruleset to predict an opponent next move which makes it a very difficult ruleset to take out and opponent as all melee monster can attack from any position.
Battle detail
For this battle ruleset 39 cost mana cap was given each summoner to come up with their lineup monster its quite nice as both players can choose formidable monsters of their choice with easy my opponent came up with death element monster while I used fire element monster for this ruleset.
Battle lineup
IIDRI FYRE my first lineup monster as a tank is a taunt monster with good shield and health stat it has a good speed as well which can be used to counter attacks from low speed attacking monsters it does not attack but serves as a bait.
TINDERLOCK this monster gains additional health when it's the last monster standing in the battle arena against an opponent it's a range attacking monster that can also attack from any position.
CLOCKWORK AIDE for equal opportunity ruleset this monster also act as a bait because it has a one health stat all opportunity monster will likely be attacking my CLOCKWORK AIDE it shield now serves as a protection against opportunity monster attacks.
TENYII STRIKER these are my attackers TENYII STRIKER is a sneak attacking monster for this ruleset it will have additional opportunity ability which makes it to attack opponent weaknline and backline monster.
FEROX DEFENDER it gives my lineup monsters additional shield protection FEROX DEFENDER is a friendly shield monster and protect my lineup by giving them additional shield.
XENITH ARCHER my last lineup opponent is a range monster it can only attack an opponent tank and loose it attacking power when in first position.
Battle strategy
My first plan for battle strategy was to have good protection as much as I can with my FEROX DEFENDER giving all my lineup monsters additional shield my CLOCKWORK AIDE acting as a second bait monster because of its low health to attract all opportunity monsters and finally my tank taunt monster acting a real bait my opponent will be distracted by my lineup shield. While my attacking monsters strikes from all position as the battle is ongoing.
My strategy did workout perfectly as planned my protective shield and bait did workout as planned my opponent couldn't stand the battle heat as I emerge victorious at the end of the battle.
Battle arena
The battle arena lasted five rounds seem my lineup are very much more formidable than that of my opponent which means it very easy for me to take out my opponent with much easy.
Round 1 first round was a battle of six against six but my opponent loss two monster at the beginning of first round which kinda decided the battle.
Round 2 here no monster was eliminated on both sides although from the looks my opponent and my lineup did sustain some good side effects from the battle damage.

Round 4 more monster out of my opponent side the battle isn't going well for my opponent.
