Battle Mage Secrets: Play smart in the Melee Mayhem with Tarsa

This is an Aim True ruleset game so Melee and Ranged attacks always hit their target.
Blind, flying, dodge are useless. This Ruleset doesn't give Ranged monsters the ability to attack from the first position. Choose higher speed or higher health combined with high damage output. Return Fire ability is great in this ruleset.

This is a Melee Mayhem ruleset game so Melee attack Monsters can attack from any position.
If you have melee monsters in the back-line with Sneak or Opportunity, those abilities take precedence. Select a summoner that increases melee attack or a summoner that reduces melee attack of enemies + a tank with Shield. Thorns, Inspire, Blast, Retaliate help in this ruleset.
