Double Strike
"Monster attacks twice each round."
Attack Accuracy rules apply
Notable Rulesets
| Top 3 Rulesets | Bottom 3 Rulesets |
| Super Sneak - Take out your opponent's back line with double strike. Adding an additional melee attack via summoner or the inspire ability will help you to achieve your aims! | Back to Basics - Monsters lose all abilities - consider whether a single strike from your monster warrants their inclusion in your lineup. |
| Heavy Hitters - all monsters gain the knockout ability - double damage to enemies that are stunned. Coupled with double strike, you can destroy your opponent's armor then go after their main health stat in the same turn! | Briar Patch/Counterspell/Fire & Regret - Ensure that your recharged monster can take what they dish out! While attacking every other round may be beneficial here, consider the possibilities before including a monster with Double Strike in your lineup. |
| Explosive Weaponry - What damage two strikes can do when your target and adjacent monsters take damage from blast! | Reverse Speed - Currently, no monsters with double strike and a speed of 1 exist. Within this ruleset, the slower the monster the better! |
Notable Abilities
| Top 3 Abilities | Bottom 3 Abilities |
| Inspire - +1 to all melee attacks. A melee monster with Double Strike can absolutely devastate your opponent. | Thorns - twice the strike, twice the thorns damage! |
| Sneak - attack the monster in the final position twice. Including multiple monsters with sneak will help you to take you opponent from behind. | Stun - If your opponent uses stun, your monster will not be able to attack. This could hamstring your strategy if you were reliant on a double striking tank for victory. Remember to round out your team with many attack types and abilities. |
| Shield/Void - Reduced damage from melee/ranged and magic attacks, respectively, will help to keep your double striking monster in the game longer. | Halving - If your opponent successfully attacks your monster with halving, it will still attack twice but the strength of attack will reduce by half (rounded down). |
