Welcome everyone👋, I'm back again with a new post for the Splinterlands BATTLE MAGE SECRETS Weekly Challenge!

Ferocity:
All Monsters have the Fury ability.

Each week there is a new ruleset for this challenge, this time it's the Ferocity ruleset, as the description says, all monsters will have the Fury ability, but what does it do?
Simply that all monsters on the battlefield will deal double damage to monsters with the Taunt (enemy monsters will target this monster) ability, so it's best in battles with this ruleset not to use those cards.

Some curiosities with the name of this ruleset: there is a card in MTG with the same name.
There is also a book called Ferocity, which is about a giant muskie that eats people in Mullet Lake.

At the moment, there are only 12 30x30 taunt.png Taunt monsters that we shouldn't use when the Ferocity ruleset is active:

Fire		Water

Earth		Life

Death		Dragon	Neutral

Ferocity	Are You Not Entertained?
All Monsters have the Fury ability.	One additional Gladiator card may be used in battles.

ALRIC STORMBRINGER

25x25 Mana.png Mana: 3 | 17x17 bluestarW.png Level: 4
Rarity: Rare | Edition: Alpha/Beta 25x25 Alpha.png 25x25 Beta.png
35x35 +1 magic.png All friendly Magic Attack Monsters have +1 Magic Attack.

In this battle, I decided to play a lot of magic monsters, so this summoner: Alric will increases his allies' magic attacks by +1, allowing them to deal a little more damage.

BAAKJIRA

25x25 Mana.png Mana: 6 | 17x17 bluestarW.png Level: 1
25x25 Speed.png Speed: 2 | Health: 11
Rarity: Legendary | Edition: Chaos 25x25 ChaosT.png

In first position, this whale monster will be my main tank monster, it has a lot of HP and will reduce the damage it takes from magic attacks thanks to its 30x30 void.png Void ability. In addition, it has the 30x30 slow.png Slow ability that reduces the Speed by -1 of all enemy monsters while this monster is on the battlefield.

Djinn Oshannus.png

DJINN OSHANNUS

25x25 Mana.png Mana: 8 | 17x17 bluestarW.png Level: 1

Rarity: Legendary | Edition: ChaosR 25x25 ChaosT.png 25x25 Reward.png

In second position, this djinn monster will my second tank monster thanks to its high HP, and like the whale monster it also has the 30x30 void.png Void ability. But unlike the whale, it can attack, which is why it's in the second row.

MEDUSA

25x25 Mana.png Mana: 4 | 17x17 bluestarW.png Level: 4
25x25 magic attack.png Magic: 1 | 25x25 Speed.png Speed: 2 | Health: 5
Rarity: Rare 25x25 rare.png | Edition: Alpha/Beta 25x25 Alpha.png 25x25 Beta.png

In third position, this medusa monster only deals 1 damage but has 50% chance to stun the enemy it attacks, causing it to skip its next turn thanks to its 30x30 stun.png Stun ability.

Venari Wavesmith.png

VENARI WAVESMITH

25x25 Mana.png Mana: 5 | 17x17 bluestarW.png Level: 2
25x25 magic attack.png Magic: 1 | 25x25 Speed.png Speed: 2 | Health: 4
Rarity: Rare 25x25 rare.png | Edition: ChaosR 25x25 Chaos.png 25x25 Reward.png

In fourth position, to defend my monsters a little bit, this unit will give all its allies, including itself, +2 armor while staying in the battle thanks to its 30x30 protect.png Protect ability.

Riverboat Captain.png

RIVERBOAT CAPTAIN

25x25 Mana.png Mana: 6 | 17x17 bluestarW.png Level: 2
25x25 magic attack.png Magic: 2 | 25x25 Speed.png Speed: 2 | Health: 4
Rarity: Rare 25x25 rare.png | Edition: ChaosR 25x25 Chaos.png 25x25 Reward.png

In fifth position, this captain is one of the best soul-bound water cards available. He will deal additional damage to monsters adjacent to the target monster (additional damage is equivalent to main damage divided by 2, rounded up) thanks to his 30x30 blast.png Blast ability.

Phantom of the Abyss1.png

PHANTOM OF THE ABYSS

25x25 Mana.png Mana: 10 | 17x17 bluestarW.png Level: 1
25x25 magic attack.png Magic: 3 | 25x25 Speed.png Speed: 6 | Health: 7
Rarity: Legendary 25x25 legendary.png | Edition: Untamed 25x25 Untamed.png

Finally, in the last position, this legendary phantom is very difficult to defeat by ranged and melee attacks, since it has the 30x30 dodge.png Dodge ability, increasing the probability of evading these types of attacks by 25%, and if attacked by non-flying monsters, it also has an additional 25% chance to evade them thanks to its 30x30 flying.png Flying ability.

My magic monsters gain Magic attack ,thanks to Alric Stormbringer's ability. Also, all my monsters gain +2 armor thanks to Venari Wavesmith's Protect ability.
Ranged enemy monsters get Ranged attack, all enemy monsters gain Health and the Blast ability thanks to Zaku's ability.
Also, all enemy monsters lose -1 Speed due to Baakjira's Slow ability.

MVP

Alric Stormbringer for giving my magic monsters +1 Magic attack.

CONCLUSION

Since neither my opponent nor I used Taunt monsters, the Ferocity ability didn't work this time. As in this battle, we should avoid using the Taunt ability when the Ferocity ruleset is active, except in certain circumstances where we have no choice but to play them.

This battle ended very quickly due to the high magic damage my monsters had, and the enemy didn't use any abilities to reduce my magic attack or defend against it, so their monsters were easily defeated.

I hope you have great battles and a great experience with it.

That's all for now, see you on the battlefield!
