THE SOLID ANTOID PLATOON

ANTOID PLATOON

L O R E

An Antoid Platoon typically consists of five to seven Fire Ants, each approximately the size of a man's fist. They are well armored and wield shields and spears that, while tiny, provide a formidable defense and offense against the antoid's foes. Operating through a shared hive mind, the Antoid Platoon is employed to defend Ant Miners, other workers, the colony, and its queen. They are also known to become aggressive when invaders encroach upon their homes and surrounding territory.

LINE UP AND POSITIONING

Summoner: TARSA

Reason for Picking:
The best summoner to tandem with Antoid Platoon and with a group of melee attackers.

First Position: ANTOID PLATOON

Reason for Picking:
One of the best tanks for a low mana cost battle for fire team units. The shield ability plus the 1 damage, 1 health, 2 armor, and 3 health for only 4 mana cost is too much to pass on.

Second Position: FURIOUS CHICKEN

Reason for Picking:
One of the most used zero mana cost units for the neutral team as it added another body to the lineup and will help to defend the back teammates.

Third Position: SERPENTINE SPY

Reason for Picking:
One of the best and most skilled 3 mana cost unit for the fire team as it possessed opportunity ability plus 2 melee damage, 3 speed, and 1 health. A perfect fit with ANTOID PLATOON.

Fourth Position: URAEUS

Reason for Picking:
One of the best epic neutral unit for only 3 mana that provides 1 melee damage, 2 speed, 1 armor, and 2 health plus sneak ability. This unit is best picked with a Tarsa summoner and with a group of melee attackers.

The battle of melee versus range attackers started and it seems the two teams are still figuring out ways to gain some advantage.

Reaction:
2 of my opponent's units were down after 2 rounds and now is my team's chance to finish this battle early.

ROUND 4

Reaction:
The beginning of the end for my opponent and my team remains intact after 4 rounds of battle.

Battle Results Reaction:

A very entertaining battle to watch as it was a fast-paced battle showcasing the summoner and monsters' abilities on the battlefield. The melee damage team wins the battle after a nonstop hard-hitting battle from round 1 to round 4. My team finished the battle untouchables.

Tell us about your lineup

My lineup consists of 2 fire units and 2 neutral units.

Did your strategy work?

Absolutely. It works perfectly well and the results are astonishing.

What will you try differently next time?

If this kind of ruleset and mana cost will be played, I will stick with the same lineup. If not, definitely I will pick more powerful units depending on the availability on my end.
