My main strategy for battles in Splinterlands is to use cards with high speed, which is why I hate the Reverse Speed rule.
Reverse Speed
In this post, I'll show the strategy I use when the Reverse Speed rule is in effect during battle.
In my posts, I like to talk about Arcade Colony, so before continuing to talk about Splinterlands, let's learn a little about this game platform.
Arcade Colony
Arcade Colony is a web-based platform where mainstream games can deploy Web3 features. Newly created games, as well as previously released games, can now add tokens, digital collectibles, trading, renting, earning, and governance to their games. Thus, Arcade Colony hosts a series of published games similar to the Epic Games Store, Apple App Store, Google Play Store, or Steam, but unlike Web2 publishers, Arcade Colony augments new and existing games with Web3 features.
For more information about the platform, read the Whitepapper.
There are 4 games on Arcade Colony and they are:
The ones I play the most are Splinterlands and Moon Karts because in my opinion they are the most fun and profitable.
Remember that this is not an investment tip.

Let's continue talking about the Reverse Speed rule in Splinterlands.
In the Reverse Speed rule, my main strategy is to use cards that have low speed, preferably cards that have 1 speed.
I'll use the Shadowcomb Duskrose card as an example; it belongs to the new Reward Set and is perfect for the Reverse Speed rule because it only has 1 speed. It's the type of card you'll want in your battle under this rule because it deals a lot of damage and has great abilities; let's learn about these abilities.
Charge
Can use melee attacks from any position.
Rust
-2 armor to all enemy units.
Fury
Deals double damage if the target has Taunt.
Ambush
Takes an extra turn prior to the first round of battle.
These abilities make Shadowcomb Duskrose a great choice for dealing damage in battles and also making the opponent's cards more vulnerable because of the Rust ability.
You can get Shadowcomb Duskrose by opening Loot Chests or buying it on the market; it's an extra card from the Arcane Conclave edition.
When you receive Shadowcomb Duskrose in a Loot Chest, it's already a tradable card, and this is a great incentive to open Loot Chests in Splinterlands.
Although Shadowcomb Duskrose is a great card, I recommend using it only in the Reverse Speed rule because in other battles speed is very important, and for that reason I don't think Shadowcomb Duskrose is very useful in other battles.
