Let's get in the game!
The Rule Set for the battle featured below was Super Sneak/Lost Legendaries, Mana-35.
I chose the Earth Splinter using Daria Dragonscale as Summoner.
My strategy included:
- Putting three strong Monster cards (i.e., more lives and armor, and higher speed) in the first, second, and third positions to withstand attacks from both the opponent's tank and other Monsters.
- Choosing Monster cards with ABILITIES to attack from the back positions. Monsters with Melee attack only from the first position unless they have special abilities, such as SNEAK or REACH, and do so from the back positions. This may also allow time for back cards to utilize their abilities and damage or possibly eliminate the opponent's Monsters. When Monsters in support positions reach the first position and they will not be able to use their abilities on Monsters other than the one "tank" Monster in first position.
- The higher Mana of this battle was the primary reason for me to utilize GOBLIN MECH in this battle. I chose GOBLIN MECH for the first position for several reasons. This Monster has the advantage of having a high 8 of health/life plus he comes with 5 shields. He also has a high number of 4 Melee attacks with a speed of 3! The GOBLIN MECH can be an ideal tank, especially if there is enough Mana to use in the battle.
Here are the Monsters Line Up in this battle:
| Enemy Summoner: Lyanna Natura (Earth Splinter) | @silversaver888's Summoner: Daria Dragonscale (Earth Splinter) |
|---|---|
| Gold Enchanted Defender L5 | GOBLIN MECH L5 |
| Gold Wood Nymph L5 | Gold Flesh Golem L4 |
| Gold Creeping Ooze L5 | Manticore L3 |
| Gold Rusty Android L5 | Wood Nymph L5 |
| Gold Highland Archer L5 | Goblin Sorcerer L3 |
| Gold Grumpy Dwarf L5 | Minotaur Warrior |
Okay, so here we go!!! WATCH ME BATTLE!

I think that GOBLIN MECH in the first position worked very well!
I have used the GOBLIN MECH in the last position in a previous battle, and he was perfect! I wanted to show that battle as a second video for this article, but I can't seem to locate the battle in my file.
I also have used GOBLIN MECH in the second position while using a lower health Monster (such as the Furious Chicken in the first postion), or in the case really high 99 Mana battles, the GOBLIN MECH in a second position to Prismatic Energy.
I, personally, only start considering using GOBLIN MECH when the Mana requirement is over 22 Mana. Perhaps when I have a few more higher level cards with abilities, then I will be comfortable using the Goblin Mech in low Mana battles.
