Battle:
20 mana Reverse speed and Equalize HP

My opponent made the critical error of positioning mosters that spread the damage around, as you can see the forgotten one is the only monster that will hit the lead tank on my side, while positions two and three do nothing but wait to be meat shields, and the back two are going to focus on my rear line. Good choice to focus on melee monsters with Tarsa as the summoner of choice, just not advantageous to split up te damage.

I chose Obsidian, and since magic ignores armor I can have all my attackers focus on the first line tank to pop him right away, and then start swinging the odds in my favor. Also since one of my highest damage dealers has camoflage he is going to be safe from the sneak onslaught.

Round 2:

As you can see here my opponent is down one monster and i have yet to lose one, this is thanks largely to the focus fire of my magic damage; and since it's reverse speed all of my monsters are going to be able to give swipes before one can fall.

Round 3:

Now my opponent is down yet another moster and i have only lost my first; again due to the reverse speed mine are going to move first and swat before they get chewed on.

Round 4:

I took out one, they took out one and even trade so to speak; but again mine move first and will be able to once again make them split their damage slowing the onslaught of their attacks while I focus fire them.

Round 6:

Skipping ahead to round 6 you can see that focus fire has the upper hand leaving my opponent with just one monster after mine move and finishing them off easily.

In conclusion, it is equally important to think about your positioning as it is the ruleset and honestly it is a good tactic to use the low mana meat shields to hold off your attackers, i do feel that I may have been in some serious trouble had this opponenet say used another meat shield to buy time and then position a third sneak this may very well have turned the tide against me drastically.
