Prelude
Hi all, hope all is well for you and it is time for another Battle Mage Secrets. Last week, we looked at a ruleset that stopped all kinds of healing be it self heal, tank heal or triage. Today, we look at a ruleset that is actually not easy to pull off but will be scary if able to fulfil.
Ruleset Spotlight
Heavy Hitters
Description:
- All units gain the Knock Out ability.
- Be sure to include a unit with Stun in your lineup to trigger the knock out.
What thrives with this ruleset?
To be honest, this is not an easy ruleset to bring to any advantage because there aren't a lot of cards that has stun as an ability. Even if they do, most of them require higher levels which many do not have.
Cards that have stun at Level 1:
Fire
Septic Slime
Pit Ogre
Technowizologist
Water
Water Caller
Earth
Uloth Dhampir
Life
Runeslinger
Death
Revealer
Look at how lean the list is when we only consider cards with Stun ability at level 1. So chances of capitalizing this ruleset is rather small. This essentially mean that we need to level up our cards in order get access to more cards with Stun. And in higher leagues with higher level cards, that is where all the fun happens.
Otherwise, what we can do will be to protect ourselves with more armour, Immunity and other defensive measures if opponent somehow has a stun card. Then for our offence, just go all out and smash hard with all the damage we got so that we do not fall victim to opponent getting advantage.
Stats wise, the higher the better in all aspects be it health, attack, speed or armour.
With these in mind, let's start to talk about the battle proper.

Ruleset
Heavy Hitters, Fab Four, Equalizer
Mana Limit: 99
| Splinter | Mana Cost | Position | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lobb Lowland | 6 | Summoner | To end this game fast, I need to call upon Quora whom will become bigger and bigger to get the victory. |
| Grund | 10 | 1st | Big hitter with double strike and big health as well. |
| Quora Towershead | 10 | 2nd | A double attack card with Heal and Blood Lust. A game changer, a match winner. |
| Mitica Headhunter | 8 | 3rd | Fast, lethal and can just make any flying card fall to the ground |
| Arkemis the Bear | 12 | 4th | Included Arkemis to bring stability to the backline and also gives additional 2 armour to the whole lineup. |
| Total Mana: | 46 |
Opponent Lineup
- Summoner - Lobb Lowland
- Position 1 - Unicorn Mustang
- Position 2 - Wood Nymph
- Position 3 - Goblin Pyschic
- Position 4 - Katrelba Gobson
- Position 5 - NA
- Position 6 - NA
Prediction before pressing rumble
Interesting lineup that my opponent put up. He went with a double healer lineup which is very useful especially when everyone is with 12 health. Will healing do better or crazy brute force attack work.
Let's battle!
Battle Synopsis
Round 1, Things did started out fast with Grund nailing Unicorn Mustang after Mitica puts a spear through it. One down, three to go.
Round 2, The same cycle repeat with Mitica striking first with the spear and Grund to finish off the deal with Arkemis doing what it is needed to do by holding up the backline. 2 down, 2 more to go.
Round 3, We are steam rolling. How is that possible that we repeat the way of clearing opponent lineup the same way for 3 rounds. One last hurdle to go!
Round 4, And yes, we manage to do this yet again for the 4th turn. Katrelba taken out by Grund. Victory secured with 0 casualties on my side! What a way to win the match!
Post Battle Summary
I am really glad to see how my lineup steamrolled my opponent with the powerful consistency. Grund was exceptional in this matchup, landing kill after kill. A great win by the big guns in my lineup.
Did my strategy work? Yes, it didn't just work, it aced the match and showcase the strength of the 4 cards working in synergy. Both Grund and Mitica were killing it, taking down everything that stood in their way. While Quora didn't do her usual match winning antics, she was ready to come in and overturn the game once she stands at the first position. Arkemis was also critical due to the high health and additional armour it gave to the whole lineup.
What's the Battle Mage Secret?
For today, the Battle Mage Secret which was in view of lacking stun cards was to Protect and Smash. Arkemis did a good job with defending the backline from Katrelba's crazy attacks, its high health and protection ensured nothing went past it to reach Mitica Headhunter. Grund, Quora and Mitica formed the trio of onslaught to opponent with the consistent pushing of damage through to wreck every card that came to position with a combo attack that ensured they will be taken out. This combination onslaught is the way to smash right through any card that appears at the front line.
All in all, what is needed is to be fast, act fast and ensure opponent cannot fight back. If there is a card that has Stun ability, this onslaught can be amplified to a greater goodness.

Hello friend! Excellent analysis of the battle condition.
It's true that there are few cards with the Stun ability, but luckily there are some that have it available at level 1.
Lately when I use water, death, and fire element cards, I am constantly using cards with that ability, and they are really very useful. They help us a lot in battles.
Greetings.
