Giant Killing Chronicles: Chapter 9

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
Holy Protection	All Monsters have the Divine Shield ability.
Melee Mayhem	Melee attack Monsters can attack from any position.

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.

With the rule set allowing melee monsters to attack regardless of thier position, I choose to use Nectar Queen for my tank which is followed by Grund with the Double Strike that allow this card to attack twice per round for my secondary tank as this monsters have high damage output as well as huge amount of health then the rest are magic monsters and Runemancer Florre who both have magic and melee damage so that makes me have two monsters that can attack twice per round. My opponent on the other hand also 3 monsters including Mycelic Infantry with the Shield ability that reduce melee and range damage, Unicorn Mustang with the Void ability to reduce magic damage and Disintegrator with the Demoralize to reduce melee attack of the opponent by -1. We also both have Mycelic Slipspawn with the Taunt ability to lure attacks towards this monster. The reason that the opponent was defeated despite having higher level monsters is that I just can attack more compared to my opponent, having Grund and Runemancer Florre.

The Result

The round ended at round 5 where only Mycellic Slipspawn and Nectar Queen was defeated.

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