Giant Killing Chronicles: Chapter 10

Hi! @Saydie here, playing Splinterlands everyday.

I come up with a new content which I called "Giant Killing Chronicles" where I share battles but unlike my Weekly battle challenge, it does not have a featured monster but instead show battles that I at first seems to be at disadvantage due to the level gap between my team and the opponent but still prevail at the end just like in sport where an underdog team wins over a powerful opponent.

As we know, Splinterlands is a card game where in we can level cards and as we level- up this cards, their stats increases and they also gained some abilities which will give it more chance to win the game but it also comes down for one to have the skills to counter your opponent's line- up and luck so there are times that even if you have a low level team as long as it was takes opportunity of the rule set and completely counters your opponent, then even an underdog line- up has the possibility of winning. Of course it does not happen every time but it's very satisfying when they do.

Common

Rare

Epic

Legendary

As you can see, each summoner type has different levels of monster that you can play defending on their level cap and defending on the type of the summoner your opponent has, there are times that even if we play the same level of summoner, there will be a difference on the level of monsters due to the summoners rarity. The accounts that I will be using for this content are mainly playing at between silver and gold on the modern league with bronze cap level deck. This means that the monster I can use is cap at level 3 for common, level 2 for rare (level 3 for epic summoners), level 2 for epic and level 1 for legendary and I can only use level 2 rare and epic summoners and level 1 legendary summoner.

Rule Set

Conditions	Description
Gold League Modern Format	60 Mana Cap Available Elements: Fire, Earth, Life, Death
Weak Magic	Magic attacks hit Armor before reducing Health.
Spreading Fury	All Monsters have the Enrage ability.

For this battle, I am using the Earth summoner Obsidian which gives + 1 magic damage while my opponent is using a level 4 Kelya Frendul that gives +1 speed and +1 armor to all ally monsters. Level 4 is the max level cap for Silver league.

With the rule set making magic to hit armor first before the opponent's health, I still choose to use a magic team then I use Queen Mycelia which have the Protect ability that gives all ally monsters +2 armor, together with Mycelic Slipspawn that have the Taunt ability which attracts all able attacks towards this card. Meanwhile, I also use Disintegrator for my main tank since it has Demoralize which will reduce the melee damage of the opponent by 1 and since the enemy has many melee monsters, this reduces much of their damage. Since most of my monsters uses magic, their attacks are focused on a single target and that means that only 1 monster at a time will be Enrage which I think is the reason for the defeat of the opponent.
The Result

It was a close match as I was only left with Goblin Psychic but because it can use Tank Heal, it was able to survive and tell this story.

And that is all for now for this battle. Thank you for reading.
