Imagine all of your melee monsters having the Charge ability. The idea is the same which is really good if you're fan of melee monsters and their high health and stats.
My build wasn't exactly on point this battle, to be honest, but I am sure you will understand the goal I am building on as I choose each monster from each position

Tarsa is quite affordable right now so this time, I got my Gold foil instead. Gold Foils gives a 10% increased in rewards that you can see at the end of the reward screens each matches. It only costs $1.8 for a singular card which starts at level 2 and at $36.41 at max level.

Renting a Gold Foil though is a little more expensive in my opinion since you get charged per day of use. The cheapest I found is priced at 23.45 DEC per day but the regular max price is around 70 DEC per day for the max level.

This card is a soulbound rewards card from the Chaos Legion Series and can only be obtained by daily rewards chests and end of season rewards chests.
If a card is soulbound, it cannot be transferred, rented/delegated, burned, bought or sold until the cards go out of print. It is tied to the account that has earned it through gameplay/chests.

Tarsa is a Rare summoner from the Chaos Legion Series.
Level 2 Rare summoners allow the use of:
Level 1 Legendary monsters;
Level 2 Epic monsters;
Level 2 Rare monsters;
Level 3 Common monsters.
Tarsa is a good summoner and is very compatible with Fire Splinter's abundance of good melee monsters. Her abilities are very useful and it is up to the player on how they can abuse this powerful compatibility.
+1 Melee. [Stat Modifier] [Positive Status] Friendly monsters has their melee damage increased by 1.
Since Melee Mayhem rules of combat affects melee monsters only, then increased melee damage can benefit your team in abusing this rule of combat.
+1 Health. [Stat Modifier] [Positive Status] Friendly monsters has their Max Health increased by 1.
Any extra health is a good thing, especially, in a Splinter where Tank Heal is very hard to come by.

Stats | Ferox Defender
![Ferox Stats.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/konaqua/23uEzQZgyxfEDUykwuLqnATWgNPoGuVMqsoTwTkuPgM8pfr6akbcpPnfd6j3iWjmDboAd.jpg)
While Ferox Defender stats aren't that good for a tank, his abilities are. I compare him to Grimbardun Smith at max level. Not only Ferox Defender gives armor to all of his team through Protect ability, he also has Repair ability to restore any damaged armor.
![Protect.png](https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/konaqua/23uEzR3QrBj9hYmSPBcnwKwwfmJKc2A7uQLRqxGNzcuNGhZDvWmU7JvsD3rayhM1NGWWM.png)
At level 1, Protect is unlocked. [Support] [Stat Modifier] As long as this monster is alive, all friendly monsters has their max armor increased by 2.
An ability that is becoming more and more of my favorite. This gives armor to all allies
![Repair.png](https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/konaqua/23tbPFW8gsz7zT4gzXm7qbTQP9HX4Lprgtkovm9FzmF5mKLVDj7MeP1L68gH9dCZZnoDy.png)
At level 6, Repair is unlocked. [Support] At the start of this monster's turn, restore the friendly monster's armor by 2. This ability will prioritize the monster with most damage to its armor
It is the Tank Heal for armor. Restores 2 armor per round but the advantage is it works not only on your tank in the 1st position but all monsters you control. The priority is the one who has the most damaged armor.
![Shatter.png](https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/konaqua/23tvVYh3kMtFPA6pwKXiRhtvRweY4zf83iynFpbwSTFZmj62JARzaBgRsk4vhtZVed9ry.png)
At level 9, Shatter is unlocked. [Damage] Remove excess armor after this monster hits the opponent.
This makes sense when you include the characterr design. Since Ferox Defender is made of fire and lava, any armor he touched will be removed. Unfortunately, this can still be restored with the Repair ability.

Tarsa: Tarsa is a good option in Melee Mayhem since she buffs the melee monster's damage and also their health.
- Tusk the Wide: He is required to be used when using Fire Splinters due to the Void ability. The combination of high health and Void ability makes him a good defense against magic damage. At higher levels, he also gets Inspire ability which increases the melee damage for all your monsters.
- Disintegrator: The complete opposite of Inspire. His Demoralize ability reduces all of the opponent's melee damage punishing them if they try to abuse Melee Mayhem rule of combat.
- Torch Vizier: A Melee 3 with Opportunity ability that has good compatibility with Tarsa.
- Arkemis the Bear: Another melee monster with Protect. The Protect ability is good against opponent's melee and range damage. Unfortunately, it wasn't higlighted this game since my opponent used Magic damage instead.
- Ferox Defender: Another melee monster with Protect ability. The Protect ability stacks. This means that since I am running two Protect ability for this battle, all of my monsters get 4 total bonus armor,
- Uraeus: A very low mana cost monster with Sneak ability. His melee damage is also furthermore increased by Tarsa.

π«π πππ ππππ Tarsa and Ferox Defender in Melee Mayhem Rules of Combat? πΎππ ππ πΎππ πππ?
Yes. This rule of combat gives melee damage a good chance to show off without the melee mechanics limiting their actions. Normally, melee monsters are not allowed to do any attacks when not in 1st position except if they have a compatible target modifying abilities such as Opportunity, Sneak, Reach or Charge abilities.
