BORN AGAIN
Resurrect is an ability that is very valuable in the splinterlands world but just a few units and summoners have the ability. Rebirth is even much more uncommon as it is found in just one special unit, the Runi. On a certain occasion, though, this ability can be granted to every unit on the battle field. In this week's challenge, we explore such occasion with the Born Again ruleset.
The Combat Rules
| COMBAT RULES |  |
|---|---|
| MODIFICATIONS | BORN AGAIN, BROKEN ARROWS |
| ACTIVE SPLINTERS | FIRE, EARTH, DEATH |
I like Rebirth because, just like resurrect, the dead unit comes back with full armor and negative effects cleared. So, I hope to maximize that armor advantage in this battle. Let's see how it goes.
LINEUP
| SUMMONER |  |
|---|---|
| NAME | OBSIDIAN |
| SPLINTER | EARTH |
| EDITION | CHAOS LEGION |
| RARITY | RARE |
| LEVEL | 4 |
| MANA COST | 4 |
| BUFFS | +1 MAGIC ATTACK |
Like I said, when a unit is reborn, he retains his armor. I want to use magic attacks to bypass the armor of any resurrected unit. I would have use Immortalis' shatter because it is possible to have some void armor but I did not have him and so I had to settle for Obsidian.
| UNIT 1 |  |
|---|---|
| NAME | TERRACEOUS HULK |
| SPLINTER | EARTH |
| EDITION | REWARD |
| RARITY | LEGENDARY |
| LEVEL | 1 |
| MANA COST | 11 |
| ATTACK | 4X MELEE ATTACK |
| SPEED | 1X |
| HEALTH | 9X |
| TOUGHNESS | 6X |
| ABILITIES | TAUNT, VOID ARMOR |
I want to maximize that rebirth ability so I have decided to use this monstrous unit because of his taunt and void armor. This guy is the type of monster you'd imagine when you hear the word "tank". He should do really well.
| UNIT 2 |  |
|---|---|
| NAME | MAGI OF CHAOS |
| SPLINTER | NEUTRAL |
| EDITION | CHAOS LEGION |
| RARITY | EPIC |
| LEVEL | 3 |
| MANA COST | 6 |
| ATTACK | 3X MAGIC ATTACK |
| SPEED | 2X |
| HEALTH | 6X |
| TOUGHNESS | 0 |
| ABILITIES | NONE AT LVL 3 |
Next is the Magi of Chaos. I like this unit mainly because of his 3x magic attack. He is an important part in many of my magic teams. Also, 6 health is a good guard against snipe and can take some hits when forced to the front.
| UNIT 3 |  |
|---|---|
| NAME | REGAL PERYTON |
| SPLINTER | EARTH |
| EDITION | CHAOS LEGION |
| RARITY | RARE |
| LEVEL | 4 |
| MANA COST | 5 |
| ATTACK | 2X MAGIC ATTACK |
| SPEED | 6X |
| HEALTH | 6X |
| TOUGHNESS | FLYING |
Of course I would put Regal Peryton in this battle. Normally, that 6x speed and flying can also guard against snipe but there are no ranged attacks that can miss. Well, at least he gets to attack pretty quickly which is nice.
| UNIT 4 |  |
|---|---|
| NAME | QUEEN MYCELIA |
| SPLINTER | EARTH |
| EDITION | CHAOS LEGION |
| RARITY | LEGENDARY |
| LEVEL | 2 |
| MANA COST | 4 |
| ATTACK | 1X MAGIC ATTACK |
| SPEED | 1X |
| HEALTH | 4X |
| TOUGHNESS | 0 |
| ABILITIES | PROTECT, AMPLIFY |
Queen Mycelia has always been a favorite unit to many players. In this battle, she has an important role to play. She will support the tank with an extra 2x void armor. The regular armor would also go out to other units in case of melee attacks.
| UNIT 5 |  |
|---|---|
| NAME | GOBLIN PSYCHIC |
| SPLINTER | EARTH |
| EDITION | CHAOS LEGION |
| RARITY | COMMON |
| LEVEL | 5 |
| MANA COST | 6 |
| ATTACK | 2X MAGIC ATTACK |
| SPEED | 1X |
| HEALTH | 5X |
| TOUGHNESS | 0 |
| ABILITIES | TANK HEAL, AFFLICTION |
The tank would need some more support especially when resurrected with 1x health. Well, I have Goblin Psychic with the tank heal to help out. He also has affliction that can stop enemy units from getting healed. The perfect combo of abilities.
| UNIT 6 |  |
|---|---|
| NAME | DJINN BILJKA |
| SPLINTER | EARTH |
| EDITION | REWARD |
| RARITY | LEGENDARY |
| LEVEL | 2 |
| MANA COST | 3 |
| ATTACK | 2X MAGIC ATTACK |
| SPEED | 1X |
| HEALTH | 2X |
| TOUGHNESS | 0 |
| ABILITIES | CAMOUFLAGE, VOID |
Lastly, we have Djinn Biljka with the camouflage and void. 3 mana for a potential 3X magic attack is something I just cannot pass on. Let's see how he performs.

CONCLUSION
Well, my plan for this battle worked out quite well if you ask me. I was able to maximize the ruleset with the void armor and I also had really powerful fire power.
I like this ruleset. It is quite challenging but also really fun to play. At least, I get to experience the Runi experience without having to play my Runi.
