Hi everyone, Welcome to my BATTLE MAGE SECRETS post. BATTLE MAGE SECRETS itself is a replacement for SHARE YOUR BATTLE CHALLENGE, where if SHARE YOUR BATTLE CHALLENGE takes 1 monster as its weekly theme while BATTLE MAGE SECRETS takes 1 Ruleset as its theme. And the theme for this week is...

LOST LEGENDARIES

"Legendary units may not be used."

LOST LEGENDARIES is one of the rulesets that limits the use of monsters in a battle. Monsters or units that cannot be used in the LOST LEGENDARIES Ruleset are units that have Legendary Rarity. However, this prohibition only applies to monsters or units, while Legendary Summoners can still be used in the LOST LEGENDARIES Ruleset.

Although we cannot use Legendary units, we can still rely on units with Rarity below Legendary (Epic, Rare, and Common). But we need them (Units) with a higher level because, at the highest level, they have abilities that are no less useful than Legendary units.

RULESET & FORMATION

In addition to LOST LEGENDARIES, the Rulesets in this battle are...

WHAT DOESN'T KILL YOU

WHAT DOESN'T KILL YOU is one of the rulesets that provides additional abilities in the form of ENRAGE . ENRAGE is an ability that gives an extra 1.5 times Attack power and SPEED to the ability owner when their Health points are below 100%. This addition only applies when Health points are below 100% and will return to normal if the owner of this ability heals Health points (healed) to 100%.

My Line-Up

Cards	Ability	Reason
	- Give a reduction of 1 Attack Power to All Enemies Magic monsters - Give a reduction of 1 Health point to All Enemies monsters	I chose Thaddius Brood because I wanted to use some units from Death Element, some of which have abilities that can regulate speed. Also, I used Thaddius Brood to prevent my monsters (mainly in the first position) from taking huge damage from the opposing monster's magic attack.
	THORNS + HEAL + SLOW	I am using Cursed Windeku because it can heal itself (HEAL ). In addition, Cursed Windeku also has the THORNS ability which can be used to deal damage to the opponent's Melee monster when it gets attacked by them. Cursed Windeku also has the SLOW ability which can slow down the opponent's speed (as I discussed before).
	CLOSE RANGE + HEADWINDS + SLOW	Besides Cursed Windeku, SLOW ability is also owned by Queen of Crows to reduce the speed of the opponent's monsters to make the difference bigger. Another reason I chose Queen of Crows is because she has high Health points and HEADWINDS ability that can reduce the Attack power of the opponent's Ranged monsters.
	RECHARGE + BLIND	In addition to lowering the speed of the opponent's monsters, I also use the BLIND ability possessed by Insidious Warlock to reduce the attack accuracy of the opponent's monsters so that the chance to avoid the attacks of the opponent's monsters is higher.
	SNEAK + POISON	I will use Uraeus to weaken the Health points of the last opponent's monster using the SNEAK ability. Uraeus also has the POISON ability which, if successful, will deal 2 Health points of damage each round to the target it attacks.
	STUN + IMMUNITY + REFLECTION SHIELD	I'm using Revealer because I want to utilize his STUN ability. This STUN ability will be useful to stop the target's attack for one round (if the effect activates successfully).
	DODGE + PHASE + BACKFIRE	The use of Chaos Agent is to deal with attacks from opposing monsters that have the SNEAK ability. Because it has the DODGE ability that allows it to dodge the Melee and Ranged attacks of the opponent's monsters, and coupled with the reduction of Speed and the granting of the BLIND ability to all opponent's monsters will allow it to attend more opponent's attacks. Chaos Agent also has the BACKFIRE ability which is useful when the opponent's monsters fail to attack it.

BATTLE STARTS!!!

The opponent used Conqueror Jacek which gave him an additional 2 points of SPEED. This made the debuff (2 SPEED reduction) that I wanted to give to the opponent useless.

In the first round, the opponent's monsters with SNEAK abilities (Uraeus and Tenyii Striker) tried to attack Chaos Agent. However, Uraeus's attack failed to hit him and ended up taking damage through BACKFIRE. Meanwhile, Tenyii Striker managed to defeat Chaos Agent. Lava Spider targeted his attack at Revealer. Meanwhile, Venari Spellsmith and Radiated Brute attacked Cursed Windeku. Radiated Brute takes damage from the effects of the THORNS ability.

On my side, Uraeus tried to attack Tenyii Striker but failed and ended up taking damage through BACKFIRE. Cursed Windeku, Queen of Crows, and Revealer attacked Tusk the Wide and gave him a STUN effect.

In the second round, Radiated Brute who was in RAGE mode defeated Cursed Windeku. The opponent's Lava Spider and Uraeus defeated Revealer. Venari Spellsmith targeted his attack at Insidious Warlock. Meanwhile, Tenyii Striker failed to attack my Uraeus.

My Uraeus successfully attacked Tenyii Striker. Insidious Warlock defeated Tusk the Wide using the RECHARGE ability. And Radiated Brute who was in first place was defeated by Queen of Crows.

In the third round, my Uraeus was defeated by Tenyii Striker. Uraeus, Venari Spellsmith, and Lava Spider attacked Queen of Crows and gave her a POISON effect.

Meanwhile, Queen of Crows attacked the opponent's Uraeus who was in first place.

In the fourth round, Insidious Warlock was defeated by Tenyii Striker. Uraeus and Queen of Crows failed to land their attacks on each other. Venari Spellsmith and Lava Spider attacked Queen of Crows.

Queen of Crows was defeated by Uraeus in the fifth round.

Review of this battle

I didn't expect the opponent to have and use Conqueror Jacek because, in the previous five battles, the opponent had never used this Summoner. This made my strategy to reduce the opponent's SPEED by 2 points futile and the attacks of the opponent's monsters would be more successful with Conqueror Jacek.

The opponent who used more Melee monsters also made some debuffs that reduced Attack power for Ranged and Magic monsters completely useless. The opponent who brought monsters with INSPIRE abilities and the absence of ARMOR on all my monsters made the damage inflicted even greater and some of their attacks could immediately defeat my monsters.

Maybe in the future, I will be more careful in choosing monsters and prepare monsters that have ARMOR or monsters that have PROTECT abilities to avoid huge damage like what happened in this battle.

That was the post BATTLE MAGE SECRETS for this time. Thank you for visiting and taking the time to read. See you in the next post....
