So, bit ago, I brought the SteemMonsters window to the front of my browser window, figuring I'd get in a battle or two. Literally the first battle that I got I saw a familiar name, @teutonium.

So I think to myself, "Sorry buddy, but I'm gonna have to kick your ass."

I pick a fire summoner because I get a plus one bonus to melee attacks and I was kinda forced to play with them for a day a bit ago and I got kinda used to it a little.

I decided to lead with the Cerebus because it has healing, so it can hold out for a while...well...unless the enemy has overwhelming attacks and takes it out before it can heal itself.

Next I picked the massive bird dude, whatever it's name is, because it has reach, and can attack from the second position. That was pretty much the entire reason. The other option in that position is the dwarf, which might have been a better idea, since once he's upgraded to 4 stars he gets berserk or some shit, which raises his attack pretty massively.

Next I picked the dumb as fuck kobold, because it has sneak and 2 attack.

Then I picked the snake girl, because she has 3 magic attack, tons of life, and if worse comes to worse, she's a long range attacker that can still be in the front position if every melee attacker gets killed.

Next I picked an archer, because it gets 2 attack.

Lastly, I used the Cockatrace or whatever it is, because it only takes 2 points to summon and I had 2 left. A melee monster can attack from the last position as well, fortunately.

## Lets get ready to RUMBLE!

Out front he's got a pretty strong card. That Frankenstein troll or whatever the fuck is pretty tough. It also takes a lot to summon and doesn't have a super strong attack though. 2 isn't bad though.

He has one card that really gives him a clear advantage; fucking healer! FFS! They are the bane of my existence.

A bunch of ranged attackers combined with a healer and a tough front man is a pretty strong combo. If that front man can hold out against their attacks, then the healer can stitch him up and the opponents front man will probably be dead in a round or two. Some of your ranged attackers might also take out some other cards.

That's what happened to me. He basically devastated me. He ripped me a new one. He decimated my entire army. He taught me to say his name and called me Sally.

It hurt. It hurt a lot.

It was shortly before this that I realized it was all over.</center>

Notice how he ripped through every one of my cards and I barely fucking touched him? Fucking healers man!

Too bad you can't direct attacks. I'd fucking take out the fucking healer first. Almost every fucking time.

So, we all saw this coming. Well...I did...after I saw how I wasn't making enough of a dent in his main player and his ranged attackers were fucking devastating me. The healer kept undoing all my damage...or at least enough of it...while ripping me a new one.

Fucking hell. Good battle @teutonium. At least it was on your end.
