Strategy

Nice mix of rule sets Noxious Fumes together with blast and equalizer. Definitely need some immunity and reflections shield is screams Corsair Bosun. This will be an battle with the life splinter.

Rulesets

Noxious Fumes:
This week battle mage secret All units are poisoned at the start of the battle. This can be cleansed.

Explosive Weaponry:
Every unit will gain the blast ability. meaning that all units do damage to adjacent units.

Equalizer:
All units will have equal health. This is equal to the highest unit on the battle field.

The Lineup

Summoner

Card	Reason
	As usual, in this case the +1 health is applied after the equalizing is done so I assume I have one more health that is very important

Monsters Lineup

#1	#2	#3	#4	#5	#6

Uriel the Purifier (lvl 3)
High health unit with health this will be cleansed by Corsair Bosun important unit to tank in the front.

Corsair Bosun (lvl 5)
Often selected unit and in combination with noxious fumes important with its cleanse.

Adelade Brightwing (lvl 3)
Strong unit in this team highly preferred because of the immunity.

Djinn Renova (lvl 5)
Very important heal when units are poisoned it can heal them

Supply Runner (lvl 8)
3 damage and the extra speed hopefully gives me an edge to attack first.

Venari Crystalsmith (lvl 6)
Third healer with equalizer rules important to heal up all units as much as possible

The Battle

Link to battle

Rounds

Start :

Analyze the battlefield: also an strong team. My opponent want me to attack the back and has placed an reflection shield with immunity next to it smart move.
Maybe my opponent has too few healing units, when my Uriel the Purifier hits it will hurt.
Lets view how it goes.

Round 1:

Did not see the snipe of the Silvershield Sheriff thas is placing his attack in the middle not nice with explosive weaponry.

Round 2:

My healing unit are helping a lot. No Units are dead yet. When Iziar is dead it will go faster.
Damn my Uriel the Purifier just took 2 armor down 😌.

Round 3:

One down no it will go fast. Focus fire on the front tank, no reflection shield this. my stronger unit will stay alive. My opponent has used its resurrection ability. I still got my resurrect ability only as it now seems to be it will not be trigger while my Adelade Brightwing is the first to die. But it will be healt somewhat.

Round 4:

Two more units died. Nice to see how important the placing of the reflection shield is.

Round 5:

What is just noticed in this round is the dispel of my Venari Crystalsmith removes the extra gained armor.
This round another two units died. one placed hit of Uriel the Purifier will take care of the Venator Kinjo

Round 6:

Victory!!

Conclusion

This demonstrates how important cleanse and immunity are for battle where the Noxious Fumes is in the mix. Also the placing of reflection shield is important.
