Compliments of the season

It's been a good year so far and as it comes to an end today, I present to you all the last battle battle-mage secrets of the year 2023. For my viewers, readers, and supporters, I thank you all and hope that we continue the great work come 2024. The 2023 battle mage secrets comes to an end with the "Aimless ruleset as the theme. Here is the announcement post. Those who wish to participate, do well to visit it and get acquainted with the guidelines as stipulated. As I begin the discussion of today, I say a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year to you all.

Ruleset; Aimless

The Aimless ruleset gives all monsters on the battlefield the scattered shot ability. With this ability, ranged and magic monsters can target any team member of the opposition irrespective of their ability. This means that no ability is exempted from being attacked and this includes the camouflage ability. Melee monsters on the other although gain the scattered shot ability, still battle using their abilities. This is to say that a melee monster with the sneak ability does not neglect its ability for the scattered shot and this is also the same with the opportunity ability and others.

There are three ways in which scattered shot ability is gained in the spl game. The most conventional are the monsters with it as their inbuilt ability. The other two ways are through the ruleset and stat from the summoner. Battling with scattered can be both good and bad at the same time. For the fact that they attack randomly, they can target and take out their biggest threat on the opposite side, at the same time, due to their random target system, the opponent with a particular area of focused attack can easily take them down.

Strategic team selection and positioning

These are the ways my team was selected and the reason behind their selection. Do note that the selection was not only based on the aimless ruleset but also put into consideration the other that accompanied it.

CONQUEROR JACEK
The first choice was that of a summoner which Conqueror Jacek was selected. This summoner gives three key advantages. They are speed, the ability to pierce, and scattered shot attack. In this battle where both teams had scattered shots, the advantage was mainly speed and piercing. Giving teammates two speeds in addition with piercing made this summoner my best choice for this battle.

GRUM FLAMEBLADE
The choice of Grum as the defender was based on four things. The large number of health, the large of melee weapons, the bloodlust ability, and the number of the armor. Also with the piercing offered to the monsters by the summoner, this high number of weapons can cut through armor and affect the health of their targets.
