Hi! Hive account@saydie here playing Splinterlands everyday!

The topic of my review for some time now was about the core cards of the Chaos Legion which is the third major card expansion of the game with over 100 cards and so far, I have come to finish with the core cards under the common, rare and epic rarity and have began with the legendary rarity, containing 29 cards including the airdrop cards.

Battle 1: River Hellondale

Conditions	Description
Diamond League Modern Format	47 Mana Cap Available Elements: Water, Fire, Death, Earth Link: https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=sl_f84812d82d679cd31ae2215c30553f16&ref=agonyaccepted
Weak Magic	Magic attacks hit Armor before reducing Health.
Target Practice	All Range and Magic attack Monsters have the Snipe ability.

This battle has 47 mana cap with the Weak Magic which makes magic attacks to reduce armor first before it can damage health and Target Practice that gives Snipe ability to all range and magic monsters.

The legendary card that I used in this battle was River Hellondale it could Dispel whatever buffs the target monster would have and at the same time, I have brought mostly melee monsters in my lineup which would benefit to the melee boost that Inspire gives and provide more damage on my opponent. Since my Wave Brood was defeated on the battle, River Hellondale used its Resurrect in order to revive it to once again provide a little back up with it's Taunt.

Battle 2: Torrent Fiend

Conditions	Description
Diamond League Modern Format	14 Mana Cap Available Elements: Water, Fire, Earth, Death, Life Dragon Link: https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=sl_4dcd4d4299b5520516e5760b00adc8b0&ref=agonyaccepted
Aim True	Melee and Range attacks always hit their target.
What Doesn't Kill You	All Monsters have the Enrage ability.
Silenced Summoners	Summoners do not give any stat buffs or debuffs or grant/use any abilities.

On this battle, no summoner abilities nor stat boost will be effective due to the effects of Silenced Summoner but monsters gain the Enrage ability due to What Doesn't Kill You and cannot miss their targets with Aim True.

With such a low mana battle, there were very few monsters we can add to the team so priority comes on cards with low man cost and with Torrent Fiend, even though we have no mana left, we can still place this card as this cost 0- mana and at the same time, it has the Headwinds ability which reduces the damage of all the range monsters of the opponent causing Weirding Warrior to only have inflict 1 damage and also during this match since my main attackers got defeated, with Torrent Fiend left in the first position, it was able to attack as it has melee damage and eventually defeat the opponent's monster which ended the match.

Battle 3: Baakjira, Torrent Fiend and Possibilus the Wise

Conditions	Description
Diamond League Modern Format	36 Mana Cap Available Elements: Water, Death, Life, Dragon Link: https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=sl_1ea5a39528e882b6e9680f79ff09771e&ref=agonyaccepted
Close Range	Range attacks may be used in the first position in battles.
Explosive Weaponry	All Monsters have the Blast ability.
Fog of War	Monsters lose the Sneak and Snipe abilities.

For the last battle, we have Close Range that allows for range monster to be able to attack at the first position with the inclusion of Explosive Weaponry that deals damage on monsters adjacent to the target on a Fog of War rule set.

In this battle, I used Possibilus the Wise as my summoner which gives +2 health bonus to all my monsters while giving the Reach and Trample ability that gives Coastal Sentry the ability to attack even at the second position and chance to attack again when it defeats its target while Baakjira serves to be my main tank that can Heal itself with its huge health and reduce the speed of all opponent monsters with Slow. Once again Torrent Fiend, while it cost 0 mana has provided its support with its Headwinds that reduces the damage of the range monster of the opponent which allows my monster to last longer.
