Hi Hivers! I hope you are doing well. I wish you all Hivers Good luck with your entries for the challenge.
This is my entry for Splinterlands Battle Challenge!
This challenged required wave runner. I usually rent all my cards. I checked PeakMonsters for card availability. It was not rented, so I canceled It and two other water cards as they might help me in the challenge.
Now I was all set and ready for the challenge so, I go to Splinterlands to start this battle. To my surprise, my SPS balance was increased by 10.
I had to check my SPS balance history and I saw that sent me 10 SPS from tomorrow's twitch stream Clove71's Twicth
At that time I didn't notice as I had to take my dad to hospital as he is suffering from cancer for the last few years.
Brain Storming Before Battle:
I was planning to use Alric Stormbringer Summoner.
I also added Water Elemental as It has heal, splendid attack speed, and a good back lane semi-tank.
I had to think of some front tank that I will decide with seeing mana cap of battle. One second number I will use wave runner as It had reach and a part of the challenge.

15 mana cap was low so I had to adjust according to it and forget about my plans. I used Frost Lion as it can take 2 times damage and a good low mana cap battle Tank.
Then I used Wave Runner as It was a part of a challenge plus it has Reach ability. More than that my front tank was not that strong either.
Then I added Enchanted Pixie and Ice Pixie. One reason was to fill my mana cap of 5. Secondly, I used Alric Stormbringer Summoner so using magical monsters was a good option. Although my back lane was not strong, It was still worth the gamble.
Final LineUp:
Start of Battle:
The enemy had one sneak and one opportunity monster. It was enough to make me lose by attacking my weak back lane.
Round 1:
In Round 1 my both Pixies attack living Lava ignoring its defense especially with the increased magic defense I really hurt. Wave runner also attacked Living Lava, their team's main monster was Living Lava. I was happy seeing monsters bring enemy Living Lava down. Enemy's opportunity monster attack my Front Tank Frost Lion and his sneak monster's attack got missed on my Pixie in back. After the enemy's tank attacked my front tank which can take two hits, my wave runner takes the lead. As my both Pixies were strong enough to take down Living Lava I had hoped to win the battle.
Round 2:
My Pixie took down Living Lava as soon as round 2 started. Enemy's monsters only needed some finishing moves. My Wave Runner and Neutral Pixie performed those moves. That's how I won this challenge. :)
I actually got smarter by using the copycat strategy of Kakashi, The Ninja who can perform 1000 Jutsu.
Conclusion:
Wave Runner is a good secondary tank but not for low cap battles.
