Introduction
This week the Aimless ruleset. Not a favorite of mine this makes battles very unpredictable.
It certainly can give you some nice entertainment in watching the battles, some with many lucky strikes.
Mostly I try to avoid monster or summoners with scattershot.
This ruleset can also be forced by using summoner:
Same reason why I don't like the Aimless ruleset I also dislike this summoner because of the unpredictable battles
Ruleset
All friendly Monsters receive the Scattershot ability at the start of the battle, which affects Ranged and Magic attacks, melee attacks still use normal targeting rules)
Official ruleset information from splinterlands: List-of-In-Game-Rulesets
Abilities Synergies
All range and magic attack monsters are heavily impacted.
I try to find monsters with extra shield 
especially in combination with monsters or summoner that got void armor 
.
I like the monsters with double strike like the 
Strategies
There are 3 options that cross my mind
- Counter play and focus fire with a strong melee team with sneak opportunity
- Magic setup
- Ranged with magic protect
The magic team is somewhat risky because often magic has low health.
In the preferred team section I will give an example per suggestion
Select - Preferred teams
Really depended on other factors like:
- Other rulesets
- Mana cap
- What you opponent is often playing
- What cards and level do you own/rent
Here are some setups that I like to play. Viewed with the levels and stats that I own.
| Summoner | #1 | #2 | #3 | #4 | #5 | #6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Strong anti magic.
It will use the scattershot 
in combination with with doublestrike 
| Summoner | #1 | #2 | #3 | #4 | #5 | #6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Magic team, the taunt will have not much impact it still has high health and 3 damage in combination with Obsidian.
| Summoner | #1 | #2 | #3 | #4 | #5 | #6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 |  |  |  |  |  |  |
This team is more a counter play. I like to use with lots of melee to ignore the randomness of the scattershot.
Avoid
Avoid monster or summoners that that already have scattershot like
Also monster with taunt are not useful at least not for there taunt 
ability, monster like:
Example battles
This is battle where it just luck imo, pretty similar setups just did not waist many attacks on the chaos agent which is luck and quite some attacks with blast in the middle.
This battle show how taunt because less useful.
