Good day to warriors and investors, how are you doing in your various endeavors.
I have seen different skills and strategies whenever I played ‘target Practice’ ruleset; and, I have seen different formations by players. One thing I do most times whenever I played with target practice was to use combination of Ulundin Overseer and Moxian Rebel.
Sincerely, the fighting target practice ruleset depends on the other rules accompanying the battle. In this battle played today, melee mayhem was the second rule in this battle. I knew my opponent would use more magic monsters in this battle; this was because of the availability of the summoners and monsters that were present while selecting monsters.
Water summoners were available, and I knew people often used Marlai Singariel than any water summoner. This was because of the ability of Marlai Singariel.
Why did I used Ulundin Overseer
The long health of Ulundin Overseer: I knew that magic and ranged monsters have snipe ability; it was important for me to use Ulundin Overseer to delay opponent ranged and magic ability to destroy my monsters. If I make a mistake of using Mystic Scaleweaver in the third position , it wouldn't have reached the second round, and would have exposed my lineup.
The main purpose of Ulundin Overseer was to delay the opponent's monsters.
Players prefer to use magic monsters than ranged monsters: players prefer to use magic monsters than ranged monsters when ‘target practice is given, except when magic monsters are not allowed in the battle. According to my perception, I don't like to use ranged monsters for the majority of the battle; though I used them sometimes but not in the first or second position; I knew that when a ranged monster led a battle, it would be able to attack.
Water summoner gave me the tip of my opponent: the moment I saw that water summoners were available, I knew that my opponent would use Marlai Singariel. In order to protect my monsters it was necessary for me to use Ulundin Overseer. I knew before Ulundin Overseer would be eliminated, more harm might have been done to my opponent’s monsters.
Rule of the battle
Melee Mayhem: Units can use melee attacks in any position.
This simply means that melee monsters can be used in any position in this battle; and such melee monsters will attack. Sometimes, I have used melee monsters with shield ability in the first and last position.
Target practice: All units with magic and ranged attacks have snipe (Magic and ranged attacks target the first non-melee enemy unit behind the first position)
Any non- melee attack monsters such a ranged or magic attack behind the first position would be first attack; and that was the reason Ulundin Overseer was attacked.

Monsters Arrangement
Commander Slade
Splinter: Water 💧💧💧
Level: 3 ⭐⭐⭐
Speed: 4 🚤🚤🚤🚤
Ability: Enfeeble and Dodge
Health: 9 ❤️❤️❤️❤️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Armor: 6 🪖🪖🪖🪖🪖🪖
Attack: Melee
Mana: 10
With the high number of melee attacks, bringing Commander Slade into the battle wasn’t bad. I wasn't sure whether my opponent would use magic monsters all through the battle. My thought was that he might use one or two melee monsters, and that was the reason I brought it into the battle. I knew the dodge and Enfeeble abilities would help.
Unfortunately, he used Shock Trooper; and I believe it was a mistake. My thought was that my opponent would use a monster with a high number of health in the first position. I used to see a weak monster in the first position once in a blue moon.
Though, an attack from Shock Trooper damaged 5 health from Commander Slade. I believe if Shock Trooper was in the fourth position, **Ulundin Overseer wouldn't have reached second position.
Warwall Juggernaut
Splinter: Water 💧💧💧
Level: 2 ⭐⭐
Speed: 2 🚤🚤
Ability: Reach and Armored strike
Health: 10 ❤️❤️❤️❤️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Armor: 2 🪖🪖
Attack: Melee
Mana: 9
I'm was pretty sure that after Commander Slade, Warwall Juggernaut would lead the lineup. Fortunately, after the elimination of Commander Slade, Warwall Juggernaut led the battle.
The Armored strike also worked perfectly, damaging the health of Shock Trooper; it was armored strike that eliminated **Shock Trooper
By the time Warwall Juggernaut** led the attack in the second round, it led the battle to victory.
Ulundin Overseer
Splinter: Neutral ⚔️⚔️⚔️
Level: 1 ⭐
Speed: 1 🚤
Ability: Flank
Health: 12 ❤️❤️❤️❤️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Armor: 5 🪖🪖🪖🪖🪖
Attack: None
Mana: 11
I knew that Ulundin Overseer would be the most attacked monster in this lineup. I placed it there because it was capable of doing the job. I knew it won't last long except if melee monsters are more in my opponent's lineup. In case of melee monsters, I placed Commander Slade in the first position.
Ulundin Overseer was eliminated in the second round. I was able to achieve my plan which was to damage majority of my opponent’s monsters- four monsters were eliminated from opponent’s lineup.
Moxian Rebel
Splinter: Neutral ⚔️⚔️⚔️
Level: 1 ⭐
Speed: 1 🚤
Ability: Weapon Training
Health: 1 ❤️
Armor: 1 🪖
Attack: Magic
Mana: 4
There was no other reason I placed Moxian Rebel in the fourth position rather than to give weapon to **Ulundin Overseer. I don't Ulundin Overseer to be in the battle without attacking. I needed Ulundin Overseer to attack. Just like the way I planned, 2 magic attack was given to **Ulundin Overseer; it attacked and eliminated opponent's Mystic Scaleweaver.
Captain Fellblade
Splinter: Water 💧💧💧
Level: 1 ⭐
Speed: 3 🚤5🚤
Ability: Sneak
Health: 12 ❤️❤️❤️❤️♥️♥️
Attack: Magic and Melee
Mana: 8
I like Captain Fellblade because of its sneak ability. Eliminating monsters from behind made this battle to be very fast and quick. With a high number of mana, the battle lasted for a few seconds; the battle was concluded in the third round.
Imagine a battle of 69 mana was concluded within a minute! It was the presence of Captain Fellblade that made the battle very fast.
Mystic Scaleweaver
Splinter: Water 💧💧💧
Level: 1 ⭐
Speed: 1 🚤
Ability: Slow
Health: 7 ❤️❤️❤️❤️♥️♥️♥️
Attack: Magic
Mana:9
Offered a rare ability in this battle. The slow ability is very rare and gives friendly monsters an upper edge to attack faster. When opponent’s Mystic Scaleweaver was eliminated, in the last attack in the first round; at second round, majority of my monsters attacked before my opponent’s monsters.
