#### ```🐙GIANT SQUID🐙``` is a nice rare water monster and I wonder why I don't use it more often. It has good attack, health and even shield right from the level 1. At level 4 it gets the Blind ability(Corrosive Ink as the lore tells). Blind ability can be used quite effectively with High Speed and complementing abilities like Swiftness, Slow, Flying and Dodge.

###

Blind ability can increase the frequency of missed attacks by enemy melee and ranged monsters. One missed attack at a key moment in battle can really alter the outcome.

## **```MY BATTLE USING GIANT SQUID```** ####

This was a 21 mana battle with two battle rules, one Rise of the Commons and second Reverse Speed.

I used ```ALRIC STORMBRINGER``` summoner for the purpose of this challenge as GIANT SQUID is a water monster.

Upfront came my tank, ```SEA MONSTER```. It possess great attack, health with two awesome abilities Heal and Thorns. I sometimes wonder if it is a common monster.

--- ### **``` CRUSTACEAN KING```** ####

Next came the healer, ```CRUSTACEAN KING```. It is always good to have healer in the back to support your tank, if you can afford it. Apart from the heal ability , it also has Protect ability, providing all team members with 2 Armor. --- ### **```PIRATE ARCHER```** ####

Next came the ```PIRATE ARCHER```. A nice low mana monster with blast ability. --- ### **``` GIANT SQUID```** ####

In the end came the star of our show ```GIANT SQUID```. I upgraded my ```GIANT SQUID``` so that I can watch its blind ability in play. --- ![water.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/xabi/U1645JPu-water.png)

## **```BATTLE ANALYSIS```**

#### This was a simple battle. The enemy never stood a chance. My ```SEA Monster``` quickly took out the enemy tank. One mistake the enemy made was ignoring Reverse Speed battle rue and using ```CREEPING OOZE```. This amplified the effect of Blind ability and caused enemy to miss many attacks on my tank.
