How I Stopped Katrelba Before She Gets Out of Control

Katrelba has become my favorite Sneam monster in the game, she gave me the reason to use my Earth Slinter a lot more that I previously did.

95% of the time when I use Katrelba, it results in a win for me, there are fights now and then when I get it wrong for using Katrelba, it could be a no nonsense opponent, that never leaves the backline exposed or other powerful opponent, too power enough to put me in my place.

If you haven't taken part in this week's BATTLE MAGE SECRETS Weekly Challenge you should it is fun.

Ferocity: All monsters have the Fury ability.

Back on Katrelba, how do I defend myself against her? I know her very well, she is trouble. I will take us through how I stopped Katrelba form getting out of control.

Equiped with Trample and Enrage abilities DIEMONSHARK led my frontline of attack. With a speed of 4 and with rich health and armor. Diemonshark never failes to demonstrate it's deadliness.
Diemonsharks are considered to be fearsome beasts that travel alone throughout the stars searching for prey and territory with with lightning-fast reflexes. Thees are the characteristics that makes it a very reliable Tank.

Being a Traget Practice ruleset I had VENARI MARKSRAT in the second spot so it can be eliminated but my opponent didn't take the bait as the opponent's strategy is centered around Katrelba. So Deimonshare and Deeplurker were unlucky to benefit from Marksrat's Martyr ability.

DEEPLURKER is as deadly as any beast on the battlefield and should not be given freedom to prey on the weakest, but can it be stopped? With the Opportunity ability Deeplurker feeling attacked the weak, from the third position in my lineup.

The Protection ability from VENARI WAVESMITH was one of the strength to my lineup against the Sneak attacks of the oppponent's Katrelba. The +2 Armor protection on friendly monsters is never to be underrated it goes a long way in giving my lineups the protection from range and melee monsters.

RIVER HELLONDALE occupis the fifth spot in my lineup with the Resurrect and Inspire ability, Hellondale's inclusion in my lineup helped with against the Demoralized ability from the opponent's Disintegrator as well as giving Swam Spitter a second chance on the battlefield.

In the backline was SWAMP SPITTER tasked with a very vital role that helped a great deal in making Katrelba's Sneak attack difficult for her, Katrelba's success depends on how fast and less resistant enemies, so with Swamp Spitter making the backline penetration difficult for the Sneak beast, it gave my lineup the edge to have the fight in control.

Yes Katrelba can be stopped. 😉
