⚔️ THE BATTLE ⚔️
| RULE SET |  |
|---|---|
| STANDARD | MODIFICATIONS TO THE RULES AND MECHANICS |
| MANA CAPACITY | 46 |
| AVAILABLE ELEMENT | only Fire🔥, Death☠️ and Dragon🐲 elements allowed |
This was a high-mana cap battle with the EARTHQUAKE and KNOCKOUT rule set. Meaning 'All non-flying monsters take 2 melee damage at the end of each round', and 'All monsters got the Knock-out ability'. Although it did not support a much better ruleset like Target Practice, it was still nice to have a few Melee and Spell casters holding down fort while the accurate range attackers caused damage to the enemy.
⚔️ TEAM LINE-UP ⚔️
🔥CONQUEROR JACEK
The great CONQUEROR JACEK, a summoner with the supernatural ability to grant the Piercing and Scattershot ability plus added +2 Speed points. This summoner buffs is so deadly that when he grants monsters fighting alongside with him, they become very dangerous and target Ranged & Magic Enemies. He is a latest release to the Chaos and i was thrilled to engage him in battle.
👉WHY I PICKED CONQUEROR JACEK
Summer CONQUEROR JACEK is disabler and Nullifier, hence, he is particularly effective in breaking my enemies resistance with minimal cost. 🔥MOLTEN ASH GOLEM🔥 would become even more powerful with the added double speed point and breaking through enemies defense easily with the added Scattershot and Piercing abilities.
This summoner is such a very valuable card to have cause of this LEGENDARY fact, implying he will almost always fits 85% rulesets and battle mana cap.
🔥 ANTOID PLATOON - 1ST POSITION
In front line comes the formidable defense squad of ants known as the 🐜ANTOID PLATOON🐜. The front position suits this monsters well, as they have decent defense and health to act as both resistance and tank unit. A 5-star⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ army of monsters who fully deserve their moniker. They can Shield against melee and range attack monsters, while Scavenging the health of any monster that dies.
This card attack type is Melee, a powerful card and it is part of the Fire unit. It costs absolutely 4-mana to use in battle.
👉WHY I PICKED 🐜ANTOID PLATOON🐜
I picked 🐜ANTOID PLATOON🐜 because being a Melee attacker, it can cause great damage even at a lower levels, not to mention a zero mana card. Best when paired with summoners like CONQUEROR JACEK to make it fully resistant to enemies trying to bridge lineup. This card will help 🔥MOLTEN ASH GOLEM🔥 by giving it opportunity to deal with enemies, the enemies will literally have to go through 🐜ANTOID PLATOON🐜 to get to him, thereby securing a win.
🔥DJINN INFERNI - 2ND POSITION
DJINN INFERNI is the eldest of the ancient wardens of fire spirits of flame that dwell in the deepest lava. Second only to Lord Janai himself, he is prideful and cunning, but fiercely loyal. DJINN INFERNI can only be summoned to battle by a powerful summoner like CONQURER JACEK. His Giant killer does double damage to over powered monsters who cost 10+ mana in battle. A 3-star ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Epic warrior who has demonstrated his prowess. His Magic attack will do well to help this team.
This cards attack type is Magic, and it is part of the Fire unit. It costs 7-mana to use in battle , as a result, it will be an excellent card for both mid & high mana ruleset battles.
👉WHY I PICKED DJINN INFERNI
I picked DJINN INFERNI because he peers perfectly well with 🔥MOLTEN ASH GOLEM🔥. This monster does great Exploits by turning enemies strategy against them. He is a definite add to any fire deck🔥.
🔥BEETLE QUEEN - 3RD POSITION
Then comes BEETLE QUEEN emerging through the cracks of the Molten Mountains. Not only can she thrive and multiply in the hot, acidic air, but she has also evolved into this terrifying kind well known across the Splinterlands. BEETLE QUEEN is equipped with the same naturally replenishing supply of nape juice as Fire Beetles, but with one key difference, she has wings. A 4-star⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ warrior with powerful magic.
This cards attack type is Magic, and it is part of the Fire unit. It costs 4-mana to use in battle , as a result, it will be an excellent card for both mid & high mana ruleset battles.
👉WHY I PICKED BEETLE QUEEN
I picked BEETLE QUEEN in other to outlast my enemies. I precited my opponent will come at me with magic spell casters, and in other to gain advantage, I brought her in for her great speed point and defense. One can never tell what the enemy will do, got to come ready.
🔥DJINN APPRENTICE - 4TH POSITION
Next in line comes the formidable Theme Card 🔥DJINN APPRENTICE🔥. A very interesting magic card that is already introduced above, low mana of 5 points so ample possibility to use it in battles, excluding restrictions on monsters with magical abilities.
This cards attack type is Magic, a Rare card and it is part of the Fire unit.
👉WHY I PICKED 🔥DJINN APPRENTICE🔥
I picked 🔥DJINN APPRENTICE🔥 because of his decent magic points and speed point too. Although he does not have any ability at this level, Summoner CONQUEROR JACEK gives him 2 abilities and extra 2 speed points, making it 5.
🔥TENYII STRIKER - 5TH POSITION
A 4-star⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🗡TENYII STRIKER🗡 is a very useful card in battle mainly because of it's Sneak ability which allows him target and destroy the last monster on the enemy team instead of the first and then Dodge ability which gives him increased chance to evade and destroy melee and ranged attack monsters. Even though this card is a Melee attacker, which prolly should be placed in front or second line, I placed him in 5th because of it's abilities. I wouldn't want him eliminated so soon nor too exposed for enemy attack. This will give him more room to cause damage and the enemy wouldn't know where the hits coming from.
This cards attack type is Melee, and it is part of the Fire unit. It costs 5-mana to use in battle , as a result, it will be an excellent card for both mid & high mana ruleset battles.
👉WHY I PICKED 🗡TENYII STRIKER🗡
I picked 🗡TENYII STRIKER🗡 because his sneak ability which targets weak monsters will be very useful for 🔥MOLTEN ASH GOLEM🔥. Those little monsters can get allover the theme card, hence having a team warrior take them out is great IMHO. Thought to take out my enemy when they unprepared and least expect it.
🔥MOLTEN ASH GOLEM - 6TH POSITION
A 4-star⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🔥MOLTEN ASH GOLEM🔥 is the card of the week. A very useful card in battle mainly because of it's Close range ability which allows him cause damamge even in the front position. Ideally i should've placed in front, but the rule set made me place him at the back, I mean, either way he is very much effective.

⚔️THE BATTLE⚔️
- The Enemy came at me with the Fire element too but backed by Dragon ENEMY SUMMONER - DRAKE OF ARNAK. ENEMY-LIVING LAVA in first position, ENEMY-DISINTEGRATOR in second position, ENEMY-LAVA LAUNCHER in third position, ENEMY-GARGOYA DEVIL in fourth position , ENEMY-SPARK PIXIES in fifth position and finally ENEMY-NAGA FIRE WIZARD in last position. Although my opponent came at me with Level 1 cards, I have learnt never to look down on those cards as my butt have been whopped a few times with level cards in diamond league. So Let's see what happened.

DO I LIKE THE 🔥MOLTEN ASH GOLEM🔥?
🔥MOLTEN ASH GOLEM🔥? 
I think I do like this card 🔥MOLTEN ASH GOLEM🔥 card. It sure has a very useful ability for a Ranged attacker and high health, i mean it survived the Earthquake ruleset which was meant to serve as a huge disadvantage. Not only can it attack from behind, but can also attack from front position, plus the decent 6 mana cost can be helpful in battles with low to medium mana limits.
🔥MOLTEN ASH GOLEM🔥 ability of CLOSE RANGE is rare and important being a range attack monster, when placed at back position which maybe idle, but i now understand why it can be in front line cause of it's high health points of 10, he'll deal considerable damage to enemies and it'll be difficult for them to attack, it is one among the few chaos cards, hence, I am very optimistic about this particular ability. You can also employ it when feeling less positive about your lineup.
To be fair, I definitely am glad to have experienced it's amazing ability at Level 4, and would keep making use of in low mana Fire Splinter battles. It has decent range, Speed and good Health, that's already a slam dunk. This only demonstrates that if you play the Fire splinter and at decent mana cap such as this, then it is a card to have on deck.
In summary the battle was 4 rounds and interesting to watch. I will keep seeking more ways to buy and max out my owned card.
DID MY STRATEGY WORK AND WHAT LESSONS DRAWN FROM IT?
Yes, my strategy worked, maybe not idle as best. It was a good lineup and strategy for this 46 mana battle⚔️
What I learnt is that, 🔥MOLTEN ASH GOLEM🔥 being ranged attacker can be further enhanced with summoners that offer extra range points attack like Fire summoner Yodin Zaku, Would give this a go myself.
🔥MOLTEN ASH GOLEM🔥 is no doubt a decent card. This challenge has surely exposed his usefulness in battle.
😊That will be all about my weekly battle with 🔥MOLTEN ASH GOLEM🔥 as the themed card.
