Hey there my awesome Splinterlands community,
I hope you're in good health and happy mood.
The season ending is near and I'm very excited about the reward chest collection of my Alt account. I managed to grab 99 reward chests so far and it's still 1 day left.
Let's see how many reward chest I can accumulate till the season ending.
I couldn't participated in this week's 'Social Media Challenge' due to health issue. Gets caught in the seasonal flu. Feeling a bit better today and tried to write this week's 'Share your Battle Challenge' with the Portal Spinner.
Just like the previous challenges, I'll share my best battle of this week using the Portal Spinner in my team.
I'll also share my strategy, team combination, and thoughts about the Portal Spinner.
So, read on...
BATTLE STATS AND ABILITIES OF THE PORTAL SPINNER
Before I share my strategy and battle, let's talk about the stats and abilities of this card.
The Portal Spinner is a Rare Life unit card from the Chaos Legion edition.
This card costs 5 mana to use in the battle which makes this card a mid mana-cost card.
Talking about the abilities, this ranged attack monster has the 'scattershot' ability starts from level 1, which makes this card able to perform attacks on random enimies.
From level 5 it gains the 'snare' ability. With this ability, it removes the flying ability of the opponent's monsters and do not miss any attacks.
Stats of this card also increases through levels, from 2 ranged attacks, 2 speeds, 1 armor, and, 3 health in level 1, to 3 ranged attacks, 2 speeds, 2 armor, and 4 health in level 5.
At the highest level, the stats of this card are 4 ranged attacks, 3 speeds, 2 armor and, 5 health.
What is the best ruleset and summoner to use Portal Spinner ?
As it's a ranged attack card, therefor the best rulesets to use Portal Spinner are based on ranged attack, like 'close range'. Apart from that we can use the ranged attack cards in any battles except 'broken arrow' ruleset.
About the summoner, General Sloan is the good combo with this card that increases its ranged attack to +1.
Alternatively, the summoner Selenia Sky from the Dragon splinter is also a good choice as it does the same buff +1 ranged attack.

Did your strategy work? What will you try differently next time?
My strategy works good in this battle. Combination of low mana cost monsters with high ranged attack monster synchronized good.
The low mana cost moderate health monsters soaked the attack from the opponent while the main attack monster continues to do their jobs.
General Sloan did its best by increasing the ranged attack +1 thus increasing the attack power of my ranged attack monsters.
Due to this, I secure my victory.
My Takes On The Portal Spinner
The Portal Spinner is a good card with mid mana cost and good ranged attack power.
Combined with the summoner General Sloan will increase its attack power.
Its armor helps him to withstand the first melee/ranged attack.
Also the scattershot ability makes him to attack random opponent card.
It's a good cost effective card.
So that's all for today, guys.
I'm happy to share with you the strategy and team combination as well as the gameplay of the good battles every week.
Due to my health issue, the quality of this article may not be the same like the previous ones. I hope you can bear it with.
