Hey Guys.
What’s Up? How are you all holding up?
I hope that you all are well by the grace of Allah.
As promised I'm back again with another post of splinterlands. It's a new entry for this week's share your battle contest. In this post, I'll be sharing one of my ranked battles of splinterlands played with the fire splinter. I'll be discussing the lineup and strategy of this battle in this post. I'll also be sharing each and every detail of the monsters that I've used in this battle. I think I'll be able to explain the whole battle and describe every possibility of it. I hope you'll like it and it'll be enough for anyone to understand the battle strategy.
Now, let's get back to the main topic. And today's battle is quite exciting. Because the enemy was stronger than me if we consider the power of the cards. More details are in the post.
Link to My Battle
The summoner I used is named OBSIDIAN. It's a rare earth summoner of the new chaos legion edition. This summoner costs 4 mana caps to use in ballet and its special ability is that this summoner can increase the magic attacking ability of all friendly monsters.
My Lineup
As you can see I used the UNICORN MUSTANG in the first position which is a rare untamed card that plays under the earth splinter This monster uses melee attacking ability to damage the enemy monsters. It has both strong attacking ability and attacking speed which makes it strong. But, I always try to use cards that have some sort of defending ability which would make it stronger and it will be able to hold the position longer than natural. Well, this monster also has a special ability like this. It's called the void ability. This special ability helps this monster to get half damage from any magic attacks of the enemy monsters. And that's how it can survive longer than expected. Also, the main attacking monsters of my opponent were all magic attacking monsters and that just made my winning the battle easier. Let me show you some screenshots of the battle. You'll see how my Unicorn Mustang got only half damage from all those attacks and was able to hold its position.
Now, I don't wanna spoil the fun and that is why I'm not adding all the clicks. You'll be able to see them all from the battle link that I've added.
Then in the second position, I used the HILL GIANT which is a common chaos legion card that plays under the earth splinter. It's a melee attacking monster and it has no special abilities because of that this monster cannot attack from any other position than the first one. I used it as a backup to the first monster. Also, it costs only 3 mana caps to use in battle and it has a good amount of life that makes it strong enough to hold the position. And it actually came to help many times before. It holds the position after the death of my first card. And in the battles with fewer mana caps, I use this monster in the first position as my main defending monster and it really does well.
Then I used the KHMER PRINCESS which is a rare untamed card that plays under the earth splinter. This monster uses magic attacking ability to attack the enemy monsters. And this one is one of my favorite magic attacking monsters. It costs only 2 mana caps to use in battle and yet it has the magic attacking ability.
Then I used the GOBLIN PSYCHIC which is a common chaos legion card that plays under the earth splinter. This monster recently came to the game and has already become one of my favorite monsters. First of all, it has 2 magic attacking abilities which increase to 3 with the help of the summoner that I used. And secondly, it has a special ability named the tank heal ability. With this ability, this monster can heal the monster that is standing in the first position of the lineup. If you see my battle, you'll see that it was not only the void ability of my first monster that helped it to hold its position against the attacks of the enemy monsters. It was also the tank heal ability of the GOBLIN PSYCHIC that helped it to hold position and that was the biggest help in winning this battle. And the strong blows of this GOBLIN PSYCHIC also was a huge help in winning the battle. And because of these abilities I now use this monster in most of my battles played with the earth splinter.
Then I used the REGAL PERYTON which is a rare chaos legion card that plays under the earth splinter. This monster uses the magic attacking ability to attack the enemy monsters. The main reasons I use this monster are, its super-fast attacking speed, which is really helpful to take an enemy monster down before that monster even gets the chance to attack. Then comes the flying ability of this monster. With the help of this ability, it can sometimes dodge melee and ranged attacks. Also, it has a good amount of life capacity that helps it stay alive for a more long time.
After setting up my full lineup, I still had 1 mana cap left and then I choose the MYCELIC MORPHOID which is a common chaos legion card that plays under the earth splinter. It costs only 1 mana cap to use in battle and has melee attacking ability. I used this as just a sacrificial pawn to defend my monsters from sneak attacks from the opponent.
It was all about my lineup and also about the reasons to put each card in its position including the abilities of the cards.
The Final Blow.
Strategy
In this battle my strategy was to hold the attacks using the UNICORN MUSTANG and by the time my other magic attacking monsters will kill the opponent's monsters. My strategy worked and I won the battle.
The question may have already appeared that I’m writing a post to join some contest. But where are the details about the contest?
Here are the details.
There amazing thing is ongoing in this blockchain for almost 3 years maybe and I'm a part of it for more than 2 years. So, it's not something new but I think there's still someone who doesn't know about it or isn't a part of it yet.
This amazing thing is the ongoing contest of splinterlands. By now I guess most of you know what SPLINTERLANDS is. It's an online card game. Though it's not only a game, in here you can earn by playing, trade by buying and selling. You will also get amazing rewards in the daily quests and also in season-ending quests. This is one of the best card games that I've ever played. The fun thing is, there's a lot of cards/monsters to use in battle. And when I say a lot, I mean it. And all of them have their own specialty, separate types of powers and so many types of special abilities. There are even some summoners under those the cards play. These summoners also have their own ability which affects the battlefield. This is really amazing. This gives you the chance to think of hundreds of strategies for your battle. Believe me, once you start playing this game you'll fall in love with it.
All of these are my personal opinion about

See you again in my next post. Till then stay happy, stay healthy. Take care. Also, stay at home and use a mask whenever you go outside. Because the second wave of covid-19 has started already and it's more dangerous than ever. Also, some of my relatives (my uncle, aunt, cousin) has been affected just a few days ago. So, we all should be careful about it. Good Bye.
