The most useful monster.

I also think that if you pit Minotaurs (there aren't many of them) against Medusas (there are many of them) in the original game, and try to defeat the Medusas using save-loading and BLOCK, it won't work! Although you can choose a block each turn to defend against the Medusas' arrows, the additional effect that comes with the arrows (gas, stone, poison) will kill the Minotaurs. So, ideally, 1 Minotaur can theoretically defeat 100 Cyclops, but 1 Minotaur cannot defeat 50 Medusas. And it's funny that 50 Medusas cannot defeat 100 Cyclops either. How everything is so interconnected and confusing!

Theoretically, 1 Minotaur can defeat 1 Cyclops, but in reality, it can't.
Let's say its block chance is 100%. During the Cyclops' attack, the Minotaur will use its block. But does the Minotaur have to attack? Yes, it does. When the Cyclops attacks, it will deal damage in return, and the Minotaur's corpse will lie on the ground for a long time.
Second option. Again, 100% block. The Minotaur will skip its turn and block the Cyclops' attacks. This won't last long. The Cyclops will eventually increase its morale (zeal). And it will attack twice in a row. And again, the Minotaur's body will lie on the ground for a long time.)))
