Summoner: **Conqueror Jacek**

Abilities:
All friendly monsters gain +2 speed
All friendly monsters gain these abilities:
[Piercing](https://splintercards.com/abilities.php?ab=15 "Splinterlands Piercing ability") - If attack damage is in excess of the target's Armor, the remainder will damage the target's Health
[Scattershot](https://splintercards.com/abilities.php?ab=93 "Splinterlands Scattershot ability") - Ranged attack monsters will hit a random enemy target.
- This also applies to Magic monsters, but since this is Lost Magic ruleset, only Ranged attack monsters will utilize the effect of this ability.

<div class="pull-right">

Pos 1 Monster: **Exploding Rats**

Abilities:
[Blast](https://splintercards.com/abilities.php?ab=22 "Splinterlands Blast ability") - Does additional damage (equivalent to main damage divided by 2, rounded up) to Monsters adjacent to the target

[Redemption](https://splintercards.com/abilities.php?ab=67 "Splinterlands Redemption ability") - When an Exploding rat dies, it deals 1 damage to all enemy monsters
- this ability does not work well with ARMORED UP ruleset since its damage goes to enemy's armor first before health.

I chose Exploding Rats position 1 due to its high speed. Since there's no magic damage to kill it instantly, Exploding Rats can evade a lot of Melee and Ranged attacks due to its high speed alone. You can see this in action when you watch the battle.

[Weaken](https://splintercards.com/abilities.php?ab=1 "Splinterlands Weaken ability") - Reduces the Health of all enemy Monsters by -1, except when health is already at 1.

[Checkout this guide](https://support.splinterlands.com/hc/en-us/articles/9123215350548-List-of-In-Game-Rulesets)
[Camouflage](https://splintercards.com/abilities.php?ab=89) - She hides well she cannot be targeted for attacks unless she's in the first position
