Why are Snipe Monsters Very Useful to the Team?

Monsters with the Snipe Ability target enemy Monsters with Ranged, Magic, or no attack that are not in the first position. It is indeed one of the best abilities so Snipe Monsters can be very effective in battles and very useful to their teams. They do a great job in battles, especially in destroying Ranged and Magical Monsters that are in the opposing team's backline. Most players usually put Monsters with the best abilities on the backline of the team. Especially Monsters with the Heal Ability or Monsters with abilities that reduce your team's attack power. That's why it's so important to destroy Monsters on the opposing team's backline. When you use it in this direction, Snipe Monsters can play a big role in winning the battles.

Before starting the battle in the video, I reviewed the last 5 battles of the opposing player and they had pretty good Magic Monsters NFT cards. When I looked at the last 5 battles of the opposing player, opposing player was using Monsters with more than one Heal Ability in the team's backline. The opposing player also had the Kron the Undying NFT card. Considering the rules of the battle and the mana value of the battle, I guessed that the opposing player would prefer the OBSIDIAN summoner and Magic Attacker. In particular, I knew that the opposing player would use Kron the Undying in this battle. In this battle, I determined my strategy accordingly.

In this battle, I should have chosen either Ranged Attackers or Magic Attackers. But the opposing player's Magic Attackers were better than mine, especially the Mushroom Seer that the opposing player had, which worried me. Because Mushroom Seer reduces the Magic Attack of all enemy monsters by -1. Also, the opposing player could use 2 Heal Monsters on the back line. And Kron the Undying could be on the opposing team. Using only Ranged or Magic Attackers reduced my chances of winning the battle. I decided to apply a different strategy in this battle.

My strategy in this battle was primarily to reduce the opposing team's Magic Attack by -1 with the BORTUS Summoner. And it was to defend against the opposing team's Magic Attacks with DJINN OSHANNUS. Lastly, it was to destroy Magic Attackers on the opposing team's backline with Snipe Monsters. With this strategy, I could easily win this battle. And I formed my team according to this strategy.

Summoner and Monsters on My Team

BORTUS is an excellent Summoner that reduces the Magic Attack of all enemy Magic Attack Monsters by -1. I chose BORTUS summoner in this battle, my goal being to reduce the Magic Attacks of the Monsters on the opposing team. BORTUS NFT card price starts at $6.13 in the market.

DJINN OSHANNUS is a very powerful Monster with excellent abilities. With his Void ability, he reduces damage from Magic Attacks. Thanks to his Phase Ability, he is able to evade Magic Attacks. Indeed, DJINN OSHANNUS is a very powerful Monster that is very effective against Magic Attacks. He also Attacks targets with Magic Attacks. I put DJINN OSHANNUS in first position on the team, my purpose was to defend against Magic Attacks from the opposing team. DJINN OSHANNUS NFT card price starts at $1.94 in the market.

MERDAALI GUARDIAN is a Monster with the Tank Heal Ability. Although she has no offensive ability, she is very effective in battles and I add her to the team in many battles. Thanks to her Tank Heal Ability, she restores a portion of the Monster in the first position's health each round. The reason I chose MERDAALI GUARDIAN restore some of DJINN OSHANNUS' health each round. This would make DJINN OSHANNUS more difficult to destroy. MERDAALI GUARDIAN NFT card price starts at $0.31 in the market.

Sniping Narwhal is an excellent Monster with the Snipe Ability and attacks targets with Ranged Attacks. Monsters with the Snipe Ability target enemy Monsters with Ranged, Magic, or no attack that are not in the first position. SNIPING NARWHAL NFT card price starts at $0.37 in the market.

Monsters with the Snipe Ability target enemy Monsters with Ranged, Magic, or no attack that are not in the first position. Mantoid NFT card price starts at $0.82 in the market.

I chose 2 Snipe Monsters in this battle, my goal was to destroy the opposing team's back line monsters as soon as possible.

KULU SWIMHUNTER is a Monster that can attack the target with Ranged Attack. I chose it because it has low mana in this battle. KULU SWIMHUNTER NFT card price starts at $0.042 in the market.

GARGOYA DEVIL is a very powerful Monster with Flying Ability and Close Range Ability, and able to attack the target with Ranged Attack. That's why I put the GARGOYA DEVIL in the last position in this battle. GARGOYA DEVIL NFT card price starts at $0.023 in the market.

My strategy worked pretty well in this battle and we managed to beat a pretty powerful team with good strategy. My strategy had frustrated the strategy of the opposing player. Snipe monsters in particular did a great job.In the video you can watch how useful Snipe Monsters are for the team and how effective they are in battles.
