Let's go to the current post, in today's Battle Mage Secrets event we have the Super Sneak rule, this is a very treacherous but very cool rule to play, with it, you can make a lot of amazing moves and surprise your opponent, this match was held in the silver league it is valid for the modern format.

🌟 SUPER SNEAK 🌟

Rule	Description
SUPER SNEAK	All melee attack monsters have the Sneak ability.

Super Sneak causes all melee units to gain the Sneak ability, meaning they will all attack the opponent's last card and will be able to hit even if they are not on the front line. With this in mind, a range of strategies can be adopted, such as placing units with Martyr in the last position, a unit with Thorn or even a unit with a lot of physical resistance, the martyr ability can be even cooler if you place a unit with Camouflage before it, so the martyr buff would hit 2 monsters, recently a new ability called Lookout was also released to help absorb some of the damage from this treacherous attack.

In this rule, it's unlikely that the frontline unit will be the target, of course the opponent can always surprise you, but generally all the attacks will be concentrated in the backline, so I always focus on the last positions, I try to place units with some skill that helps me face melee units like thorn, shield and martyr, followed by supports and good DPS.

This rule doesn't harm any skills, it just gives melee units a nice buff, so I haven't made a list of the worst skills.

Best Skills

Abilities	Nome	Description
	Demoralize	There is a high chance of several units appearing with melee attacks, so this debuff will reduce their damage.
	Dodge	A good option for dodging melee attacks.
	Protect	The chance of the opponent wanting to use the Super Sneak rule bonus is high, so this ability will be a great help, it will almost be a divine shield for the entire team.
	Martyr	As the attack will be very predictable, placing a unit with this ability in the last position could be a good move, it works well with camouflage, but then it would be in the second-to-last position.
	Double Strike	One of the best offensive skills, however the units they have are generally fragile, in this rule they will be able to attack well protected in the backline.
	Inspire	Excellent option if you want to explore the rule even further, buffing your entire team.
	Repair	It combines very well with protect, armor is always good against physical damage.
	Retaliate	An excellent skill for this rule, you'll be able to attack and counter-attack almost every opposing unit, even if you're in the backline.
	Rust	Excellent skill, it's good for taking away those little armor pieces from the opposing team, I really like using it in matches with this rule.
	Shield	Another defense for your team since most of the damage must be physical, it is very good in last position.
	Thorns	Another counterattack option like retaliate, but this one won't need chances to cause damage to the opponent.
	Triage	As your unit in the last position will almost always be attacked, this ability will always have a good target to heal.
	Lookout	New and very good skill in this rule, with it you can make a super unit with a lot of protection, especially if you combine triage, thorns, protect and rapair, it will be difficult to get through your back line tank with these skills in play.

⚔️ My Team ⚔️

---

A match with 23 mana and the Super Sneak/Healed Out rules, with this second rule taking any kind of healing out of the game, I prepared to be much more offensive, I opted for a robust unit like the Quora TowerShead, as it has an excellent snowball effect, and surrounded it with units with martyr, in the last positions I placed units to buy me time, I bet that my opponent would use several fragile units in this match.

Card	LineUP
	Summoner : Nothing special apart from being able to play with Gladiators 😍, his debuff is very weak.
	Tank/MeatShield : Excellent meat shield, it will hold back the front line a little and when it falls it will buff the powerful Quora TowerShead, it should take a while to fall since the opponent must attack the backline.
	Off-Tank: Extremely powerful unit that can obliterate the game if it kills several units, here it is losing an excellent healing ability due to the Healed Out rule, but it still attacks 2x and gets stronger.
	DPS/MeatShield: Another meat shield to buff Quora, it also has a good accuracy debuff that will help buy some time to strengthen Quora.
	DPS/MeatShield :Free unit that will attack freely due to the Super Sneak rule.
	DPS/MeatShield: This unit can deal a small amount of damage to the first attackers, but it shouldn't be able to withstand too many attacks.

🤜The Battle 🤛

Analyzing the match:I started with a slight advantage among the summoners, since my opponent's debuff didn't affect any of my units, as they didn't have a shield, my rival placed several fragile units in the backline that will help my Quora get stronger, my star of the match should only go to the front line after receiving the two martyr buff.

Round 1 - In my very first move Quora TowerShead manages to kill Scavo Chemist, making her even stronger, then I lose my first meat shield to the opposing Gladiator, and almost at the end my second meat shield is knocked out by Uraeus.

---

Round 2 - Once again, in the very first move, Quora takes two opposing units out of the game, and almost at the end, the opposing Gladiator kills my third meat shield, which at least buffed Quora with martyr.

---

Round 3 - Right at the start of the round, in a clash of Gladiators, Quora does better and knocks out Fina Voxon, and almost at the end, my last meat shield is knocked out, but this one has also buffed Quora, so victory is very close.

---

Round 4 - Victory has finally arrived, the Quora TowerShead is very powerful, and since only one magic hit eliminates the opponent's last unit, I'm victorious.

🎊 Conclusion 🎊

My strategy worked perfectly, my Quora TowerShead became extremely powerful and unstoppable thanks to the immunity skill, all my units gained enough time for her to get stronger in the end, as she had no healing due to the second rule these meat shields were essential for her to arrive in one piece at the end of the game.
As you can see, it's almost certain that your opponent will want to take advantage of the Super Sneak rule, so the first position will hardly be targeted, opening the way for you to place traps in your last positions such as thorn and martyr.
