Splinterlands Battle Of The Week: Low Mana Cap Debilitations

With the ruleset and element pick that I got picking summoner was kind of easy but little different than in a regular ruleset battle
Firstly Silenced Summoners was active so all summoner abilities and buffs did not matter at all
Which mattered was the mana cost, summoner level and summoner element
When it comes to mana I wanted to play lowest mana cost summoner possible as my mana cap for this battle was really low
As I wanted to play water element I had to pick from 3 mana cost level 2 summoner and 4 mana cost level 4 summoner
So in my case I went with Kelya Frendul as he was water element decently low mana cost and high enough level so I could play higher level monsters and get by Might Makes Right

Halfling Refugee was my main tank for this battle
The reason why I wanted to play water element was that I had two selfharm monsters there
And I wanted to play them because the mana cap was really low and playing the selfharm monsters was the only way to get some real stats on my board for low mana
Weary - At the beginning of round 1, Weary units have a 10% chance to become Exhausted. This chance increases by 10% every round, up to a maximum of 80%. Exhausted units skip their turn and cannot Retaliate

I actually picked Deeplurker as the last monster for my team
And the reason Why I had to play him was that I just did not have any other lower mana monsters who had high enough damage to be played as Might Makes Right was active
Deeplurker also had quite decent stats for being only 6 mana
I got great damage, decent speed, quite high hp and the Opportunity ability so he was able to attack from any position
Opportunity - Targets the enemy unit with the least health

For last but not least was my second selfharm monster
As stated earlier I needed to play them to get even some kind of stats on board as the battle mana cap was really low
And as you can see for 4 mana I got 4 magic damage, 4 speed and 5 hp
Sadly it came with a cost of Electrified ability but I was fine with it as hopefully it was going to be a fast battle
Electrified - Deals 1 damage to all allied Units at the beginning of each round

Already after seeing the starting board I was confident I would win because my enemy had lower level summoner and therefor his whole team was lower level than mine
Also my team was kind of perfectly build to counter my enemies whole team
My magic monster and Deeplurker was going to make a fast work of him 1st position tank and then his magic backline monster
But my predictions could still be off by a mile so lets start the battle and have a look

The first round did not really go in my favor really
I had lost my frontline tank while my enemies team was still standing whole
But everything was going to hopefully fall into place in the next round so lets keep watching

Well the battle ended really quickly as I somehow managed to miss my enemies Electrified damage which started from the 2nd round
The Electrified damage took down his tank and damaged his magic monster to 4hp which meant my first 4 magic damage also took down his last monster and ended the battle really quick
After his Giant Alpine Skink and Shock Trooper had fallen I took the victory

This battle came out to be heavily one sided but still fun to watch
The strategy to take away from this battle in my opinion is to play as many selfharm monsters in a low mana cap battles as you can
That why you are going to get a lot of stats on board for low mana and also the selfharm effects does not really have the time to start hurting you own team
