Introduction
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.
Card Levels per Summoners
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.
The Battle
Rule Set
| Conditions | Description |
|---|---|
 Gold League Modern Format | 99 Mana Cap Available Elements: Fire, Earth, Life, Death, Dragon |
 Stampede | The Trample ability can trigger multiple times per attack if the trampled Monster is killed. |
 Reverse Speed | Monsters with the lowest Speed attack first and have the highest chance of evading attacks. |
For this battle, we both use the Earth summoner Obsidian which gives + 1 magic damage with the difference that I am using level 2 while the opponent is using level 5 which you can only use starting at Gold league.
As both teams uses the Earth summoner Obsidian, our teams uses both magic- dominant teams as there were lots of slow monsters on the Earth magic team and the slower the team, the better because of the Reverse Speed rule set. The one mistake that leads to the defeat of my opponent is that he uses 3 melee monsters for this battle. While they are also very slow monsters in terms of speed, they are monsters that cannot attack at any position but magic can do that.
The Result
The battle ends on round 6 with only Mycelic Slipspawn defeated on my team due to the opponents poor line- up composition. This proves that even if you have a high level team but don't know how to play, you will lose even on lower level decks.
