Splinterlands Battle Of The Week: Battlefield filled with Arrows

The Ruleset

• Rulesets - Aim True & Going the Distance
• Mana Cap - 48
• Active Elements -

Here's my starting lineup

Summoner: Eternan Brune

• With the ruleset and element pick that I got I only had one summoner to play here as even tho I have the +1 ranged damage life summoner I just do not have a great team to go with that
• So in my case I went with fire element and Eternan Brune as my summoner because I have a great ranged team in fire element and also -2 shield + Conscript come in handy almost every battle

1st Position: Molten Ash Golem

• Molten Ash Golem was one of my main tanks for this battle
• Main reason I like Molten Ash Golem here a lot is his Close Range ability and high hp
• Close Range - Can use ranged attacks from the first position

2nd Position: Lava Launcher

• Lava Launcher was my second tank for this battle
• He was picked also because of his high hp and armor + Close Range ability
• Close Range - Can use ranged attacks from the first position

3rd Position: Firecaller

• Firecaller was just here do buff my next monster with his Martyr after his death
• Also for 5 mana Firecaller had some great offensive stats being 3 damage so until she was taken down she was going to deal great damage to my enemies monsters
• Martyr - When defeated, adjacent units gain +1 to all stats
• Fury - Deals double damage if the target has Taunt

4th Position: Tatiana Blayde

• Next up in line is my amazing Gladiator monster Tatiana Blayde
• Hopefully she could get some takedown until she is forced to the first position
• Sadly for this battle Dodge ability was totally useless as True Aim as active and every attack was going to hit no matter what
• Close Range - Can use ranged attacks from the first position
• Bloodlust - +1 to all stats after dealing a killing blow
• Dodge - +25% chance to evade physical attacks

5th Position: Supply Runner

• For the last two monster I run out for Close Range monsters so I went with monsters with Swiftness
• Even tho speed was not important for attack accuracy it was going to make my monster attack first and therefore just might turn the battle my way
• Swiftness - +1 speed to all allied units

6th Position: Countess Sinash

• Countess Sinash was the last monster for this battle
• She also was only picked for the Swiftness ability
• Alongside the Swiftness ability Countess Sinash also had Opportunity which might get me some sneaky backline kills
• Opportunity - Targets the enemy unit with the least health
• Camouflage - Cannot be directly targeted unless in the first position. Does not affect indirect attacks (e.g. Scattershot, Blast splash damage, or Trample) or Wingbreak
• Swiftness - +1 speed to all allied units

Starting board

• Already after seeing the starting board it looked like I was sitting in a quite good place
• My summoner and therefore also my team was high level than my enemies
• Secondly I had more monster with Close Range which meant I was going to have more damage for longer as after his first 3 monsters fall the next one in the first position would not be able to attack
• The one big thing that scared me was that my enemy had Headwinds ability which was going to make my whole team lose a single ranged damage
• But my predictions could still be off by a mile so lets start the battle and have a look

Here's how the battle went

1st Round

• After first round the board was actually looking quite sad for me
• I had lost my first monster and was about to lose my Firecaller as well in the next round
• Hopefully if my Fircaller was going to fall my Bloodlust monster could get some stack with that Martyr buff
• But anything could still happen so lets keep watching

2nd Round

• 2nd Round came and went without any big surprises
• My Firecaller fell in the 2nd round buffing my Tatiana Blayde and Lava Launcher which now meant my bloodlust monster was going to get a takedown in the start of the next round
• Also my Countess Sinash had done some amazing damage in the backline and my enemies second Close Range monster was almost dead as well
• Lets hope for the best and keep watching

3rd Round

• 3rd Round went super great for me
• If my calculations were correct the 4th Round was going to be the last for this battle as my Tatiana Blayde was going to get two take downs leaving my enemy with only one last monster with 4hp and me with two attackers left with 5 damage
• Lets see if my calculations were right and did I close this battle up in the next round

4th Round

• The 4th Round went exactly how I imagined it to go
• It took me 1 whole round to kill my enemies last standing monsters
• After his last three monsters had fallen I took the victory
• Battle Replay Link

Summary

• This battle seemed definitely heavily one sided but ended up scarier than I would have like but win is a win
• For this battle there was not really a strategy to follow other than the most basic Close Range which is self explanatory
• The thing that made this battle so scary for a second was my enemies Headwinds ability which I just did not have on any of my monsters
