Heyyy yooooo
what's up Splinter Player around the world how are you doing?
In this content i want to share about using Cryptic in unusual battle. Cryptic on Magic battle is kinda strange. Usually player will using Lorkus in magic battle. But,i have seen some battle in high tier that using Cryptic againts Lorkus and i want to bring it on low Level Champion Tier. Could this strategy work? especially i am not using Kelan Gaines.

Okay this time i am encountered with player that using Razi Clanktrap. In this battle the manacap that can be used is just 32 which is not too much especially for Rebellion army. since the cost of rebellion army is kinda huge overall. And this time the only element that can we used is just Death element. The ruleset is **Born Again** that means all unit can self resurrect once after death. The second ruleset is **High Five** that means both player can only bring 5 units. And the last is **Are you not entertained yet??** That means both player can summon only 1 unit from Gladius set card. 
And in this battle i am using Cryptic because the only archon that maxed level is just Cryptic. It is not because i am strong or smart. This is pure because i am poor thats why i kinda dont have any choices at all here.
Lets see what i am bring into battlefield  this time.

For the frontline tanker i am using Dark Arborist because i need to holding any magic damage that comes to my allies. And Dark Arborist is erfectly fit for this job since this uni having Magic Reflect ability. And also this unit having Void so magic damage will not give this unit much damage. And also this unit having Demoralize ability that can reducing all opponent melee units by 1 point. And of course since i am bringing Cryptic as Archon this unit will also get benefit due opponent having blind effects and getting slow by Cryptic.

Next i am still bringing any unit that can holding Magic damage. This Fenmoor Haunt is kinda weak at first with only 5 health as basic. But, this unit having Void ability that can reducing damage from magic type attack. And also this unit having scavenger ability that can give maximum health after other units dies. And with **Born Again** ruleset, this unit will get twice max health from the death. This monster also having great speed from the basic with 5 speed it can easily dodging any range and melee damage since the opponent got blind from Cryptic.

For the next line up i am still bringing tanker that not full function as tanker. I am using this unit because this unit having silence ability that can reducing opponent magic type unit by 1 point. And also this unit having immune ability. So, this unit will not get any debuff from opponent archon or unit.

<div class="pull-right">https://images.hive.blog/0x0/https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_by_level/gladius/Liza%20Fox_lv7.png</div>

For my main carry, i am bringing Liza Fox. Actually this unit is not only doing job as my main carry. But, this unit also act as my allies support because this unit have Silence ability too. Many of you will asking why i am bringing unit that having Silenced right?? If you are on Champion you will know that mostly player using Kelan Gainer as Main carry and thats why i need unit that having silenced ability. And this unit also already having 4 range damage which is kinda great damage. And if this unit can killing someone, this unit will activated the bloodlust.

<div class="pull-left">https://images.hive.blog/0x0/https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_by_level/soulboundrb/Arachne%20Weaver_lv5.png</div>

For the last unit, i am bringing Arachne Weaver, this is absolute Reward Rebellion card that can be as a key support unit in my line up. This unit having Corrupt healing that will healing all allied but costing 1 maximum health of the unit that healed. And also this unit having Scavenger too. Thats why this unit can be a great last defender.

For the battle, if you want to see the battle you guys can just click on the image it will make direct link to the battle. I am using Exposed and Poison ability to give to 2 units. And the units that i picked to used is Fenmoor Haunt and Liza Fox. I am place this ability on Fenmorr Haunt because i am kinda afraid that opponent bringing the same army as me that hunting from backline and with exposed and poison i will having chance to gives opponent backline poison effect that can gives damage each round and can destroying opponent backline. And of course Liza is my main carry thats why i am placing on her. It can destroy the frontline tanker too. So, my team having 2 opportunity to gives frontline and backline poison stats. 

As i predicted. Opponent bringing magic type attack mostly. And fortunately he did not using Lorkus in this battle. If he using Lorkus it can be different story. But, overall my strategy works. My Dark Arborist can defending opponent Magic attacker. And also my Fenmoor Haunt doing pretty well giving poison stats to opponent backliner. And also my Liza Fox also giving poison to frontliner tank too. 
This battle is not that simple it need much round to make one of us defeated. But, having Exposed and Poison ability. My line up is much better than opponent line up. I dont realized that opponent will using Razi Clanktrap instead Lorkus in this battle. But,yeah it can consider it as free win for me. 
So, did my strategy work?
Yep this time work. Even thought i  dont like at all with the line up. It is weird but that works. Funny isn't it?
