Pelacor Arbalest is a 6 Mana Life rare unit whose strength lies in its Double Strike. Below is her full stats from Level 1 to 10.
At level 1, it has a speed of 2 with 2 range attack and a miserable 2 HP 😆. Although a bit slow, its Double Strike ability make him a scary DPS unit. Its main weakness is his low HP and speed making him a glass cannon.
By the time it reached level 5, it will gain the Flying ability which would makes him useful in Earthquake ruleset.
Next lets take a look at how Arbalest will perform in the various rulesets:
| Rulesets | Pelacor Arbalest |
 | 🔮 Mana: 6,💗 Health: 2,🛡️ Armor: 0,⏩ Speed: 2 |
 | 👍Good for Arbalest as it means it wouldn't miss now even though it is slow. |
 | 👍Fantastic for Arbalest as it will help him absorb a hit or 2 from sneak attack. |
 | 👎No good. It will lose his Double Strike ability. |
 | 👎Can't be deployed. |
 | 👍Good as it can still attack even if it is the last unit standing. |
 | Bad before level 5, good from level 5 onwards as it gains Flying. |
 | 👍Fantastic as it will gives it equal health as every other units in the setup. |
 | Probably not good as its low HP means it would be one of the first to be targeted. |
 | 👍Can be deployed. |
 | 👍Good as it can attack twice and each attack will cause blast damage. |
 | 👎Can't be deployed. |
 | 👍Good as it means it wouldn't have to face sneak unit at the back. |
 | Neutral on this. Its low HP usually means healing or no healing makes no different. |
 | 👍Good if pair with a unit with stun. |
 | 👍Fantastic. Will protect Arbalest for one hit. |
 | No effect. |
 | 👎Can't be deployed. |
 | 👍Can be deployed. |
 | 👍Can be deployed. |
 | No effect. |
 | 👎Bad. Its low health means it wouldn't last long in this ruleset. |
 | 👍Good as it has low speed so this would turns that into an advantage instead. |
 | 👍Can be deployed. |
 | 👍If it can survive a hit without dying then it is good. |
 | No effect. |
 | 👎It will become vulnerable at the back. |
 | 👍Can be deployed. |
 | 👍Can snipe now but makes sure Arbalest itself is not in position to be snipe. |
 | 👍Good as units can be easier killed now by Arbalest. |
 | 👎Can't be deployed. |
Finally lets take a look at a modern ranked match I had using Pelacor Arbalest as one of the unit in the setup. The battle restriction is:
Explosive Weaponry plus Equalizer with a max mana limit of 50. The Video for the Full Battle can be seen here:

TEAM SETUP:
| Splinter | Mana Cost | Position | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| General Sloan | 4 | Summoner | General Sloan will give +1 ranged damage to all range unit. I am going for range in this match as I wanted to make use of Arbalest's Double Strike ability. |
| Uriel the Purifier | 11 | 1st | Needed a strong tank. Its either I go for Uriel or ShieldBearer. As this is a Equalizer ruleset, going for Uriel is better. |
| Venator Kinjo | 2 | 2nd | Put Kinjo here to deflect blast damage. |
| Time Mage | 4 | 3rd | One of the main issue with Life units are their speed. So added Time Mage to reduce opponent speed is important. |
| Supply Runner | 6 | 4th | My first ranged attacker. Supply runner at level 5 has Swift. It would be a very important unit when Riftwatcher units come into play. |
| Pelacor Arbalest | 6 | 5th | Main attacker. With General Sloan +1 ranged damage, the total damage Arbalest can dish out is 3 and it will hit 2 times each round making it a potential 6 damage per round! |
| Prismologist | 8 | 6th | Last ranged attacker. Prismologist is there for the damage and also to buffer Arbalest from Sneak attackers. |
| Total Mana: | 41 |
Battle Lineup:
My opponent went with Earth. It was quite a standard lineup with Unicorn Mustang as the tank and Mycelic Slipspawn to draw fire away from the Unicorn. The issue with this lineup is most of the units are without shield and thus very vulnerable to my ranged attack especially considering I have a unit that can dish out 6 damage per turn.
End of Round 1:
By the end of first round, the opponent has lost the back tank Slipspawn. The Unicorn wouldn't be able to hold out much too in the next round unless I keep missing.
End of Round 2:
By the end of round 2, half the opponent team is gone. Arbalest did indeed miss 1 hit but still the damage has already been done.
End of Round 3:
The entire fight only last 3 rounds. Do note that this is a high mana battle too. Arbalest's Double Strike is crazily good!
KEY STRATEGY
My main priority is to help Pelacor Arbalest hit its target and I do that by reducing opponent's unit speed with Time Mage. Without Time Mage, there is a much higher probability of it missing against units like Unicorn Mustang and Regal Peryton.
CONCLUSION ON PELACOR ARBALEST
A very important Life unit in my opinion. It is very scary in some situation but also very vulnerable. To use it well, it must be heavily protected. Otherwise it can be easily taken out by Opportunity or Sneak units.
