Spirits' Guide - The Greenery King
Max Level Stats:
HP: 2798
Attack: 1062
RCR: 138
Total : 3998
Team cost: 35
EXP to MAX: 6,000,000
Active: Runestone Symphony - Beast - Dissolving three kind of runestones or above (except for heart) in 1 turn, Beast attack 200%. Min CD: 12
Leader: Authority of Beasts - Beast Attack x 250% and Recovery x 150%
Passive Skill: Blessing from the Beasts
Whenever a Paladuck's active skill becomes ready (immediately after activation), Greenery King's CD is reduced by 1. This will only occur when Greenery King is leader (ally/follower will not work) and there is at least 3 Paladucks in team.
Publicly recognized as one of the major letdowns among SM cards, more so with the release of PR Schemas. The hidden skill is not very useful either, since the main driving force of Beasts team are probably quick and powerful converts.
Still, the King of Ducks may still find his place in a beast team if you need either of his skills, which are really handy, but outclassed by other skills available.

Strategy:
Not too difficult battle as of present, given that this was one of the toughest SM at its first release. Most teams, will be able to clear this battle if you have the right cards to fill the different roles needed.
Stage 1 shouldn't be much of a problem, just kill the problematic ladybug, and pick 1 of the remaining 3 to stall on.
Stage 2 isn't too difficult if you dispose of the one which is strong against the race that makes up the majority of your team. The remaining two should not pose a problem. If needed, keep 1 alive and stall.
Stage 3 is a cakewalk given the capabilities offered by the teams today. Get an enchanted rune out manually or by an active skill and burst it down. If not, you can always slowly grind it down if you have the RCR for it.
Stage 4 is probably the most problematic stage in this battle. Destroy the Paladin Fighter (Fire), before he hits you. Either way, you probably won't be able to tank both hits together. Next up is the Tumbler Shield, which shouldn't be a problem if you have a Control. If not, active skills that provide massive heals work too. Or, you can rely on Elf Queen to carry you through this stage.
Stage 5, if you still have your bursts ready, makes for a supernova finish. Just use all your actives when the three required colors are on the board and finish him off. Bringing a time tunnel, or even better, a PR Starter will be helpful in putting the required runes together and searching for lacking runes if needed. Either way, if you have a good burst left, this stage is not a problem either way.
As I'm not too good with defensive teams, I'll try to find some videos and let them do the talking.
Good luck!
