0.000 HBDBattle Mage Weekly Challenge: Up Close and Personal
 ## Introduction Hello everyone! Welcome back to my Battle Mage Weekly Challenge post featuring the **Up Close and Personal** ruleset! ## Battle Ruleset  This ruleset allows only the monsters with Melee attack to be used. If monster has more types of attack and Melee is one of them, that monster can be used in the battle. (Example: Quora, Drybone Raider)  Featured battle allowed Fire, Water, Earth, Death and Dragon elements to be played with a total mana cap of 54. The ruleset combination was complete with **Lost Legendaries** ruleset. ## My Team  **Possibilus the Wise** is my favourite Chaos Legion summoner. It provides my whole team with **Trample**, **Reach** and +2 Health. It is especially valuable in **Up Close and Personal** ruleset since it allows for 1 extra monster to attack in most cases due to the **Reach** ability.  **Diemonshark** offers a lot of value for 8 mana. 10 Health and 6 Armor unbuffed by the Summoner is pretty good. While **Enraged** this frontliner is devastating.  **Coastal Sentry** is the perfect partner for **Possibilus the Wise** teams. She rocks **Double Strike** and **Piercing** and with Summoner's **Reach** and **Trample** is a deadly monster hitting from the safe position behind a frontliner.  **Arkmeis the Bear** provides additional +2 Armor to my whole team due to the **Protect** ability. Once my frontliner is knocked out, the Bear will be attacking from the Reach position and reduce opposing teams damage due to the **Halving** ability.  **Flying Squid** was added for the **Blind** ability. It always feels good to rely on RNGJesus!  **Deeplurker** is a deadly **Opportunity** attacker with **Poison**. **Trample** makes it even scarier to face in the battle.  **Pelacor Bandit** is a beautiful distraction of opposing **Opportunity** monsters due to the high speed and **Flying** ability. ## Battle Strategy My battle strategy was to use as much mana as possible on good Melee monsters. **Reach** from the summoner will allow **Arkemis** and **Flying Squid** to attack once the frontliners are down. Hopefully I'll be able to proc a lot of **Tramples** and win that way. **Blind** and **Protect** will also help me greatly in the battle.

It is always fun to see **Tramples** go on left and right. This time RNG was on my side! **Flying Squid** and **Blind** for the win!
