Splinterlands Battle Of The Week: How Much Melee Can You Handle

With the ruleset and element pick that I got I only had one summoner in mind
The summoner in mind was non other than Tarsa as the only active element was fire and playing magic was out of the question anyway so I planed to play melee and +1 melee damage and +1 hp played nicely into it

Grum Flameblade was my main tanks for this battle
Main reason I like Grum Flameblade here a lot is his Bloodlust ability
Even tho Grum Flameblade had two abilities which were almost useless as they countered magic and I was quite sure my enemy would not play any magic this battle but I still played him as he is just a great monster in my opinion even without my enemy playing magic based comp
Bloodlust - Every time this Unit defeats an opponent, it gets +1 to all stats
Void Armor - Magic attacks hit this Unit's armor before its Health
Void - Reduced damage from Magic attacks by 50%

Radiated Brute was my second monster for this battle and the main reason for him was his 3 melee damage for only 5 mana
He was also able to tank some hits if my Grum Flameblade should fall
Reach - Can use melee attacks from the second position

And for last but not least was Uraeus
Again main reason for him was that he costs low mana of 3 and has amazing stats both in general and also for my team
I put Uraeus as my last monster because he had one armor so if my enemy should play any backline attackers he would tank one more attack than my Kobold miner
Sneak - Targets the enemy unit in the last position

The starting board was looking quite scary for me at first sight
My enemy had 4 level higher summoner and therefor all of his team was nearly twice as strong as mine
But what caught my eye was that my enemies team was built a little weird and that might just give me the little boost I need to win this battle
Even tho my both Sneak monster were practically useless my enemy also played a magic healer which meant my Grum Flameblade Void and Void Armor were not totally useless
But my predictions could still be off by a mile so lets start the battle and have a look

After two rounds I had finally taken down his first line of defense
Now the board was already starting to look quite great for me as I still had my entire team alive and my Grum Flameblade was hopefully going to get a Bloodlust takedown in the 3rd round
But anything could still happen so lets keep watching

After 3nd Round was over the board was looking amazing for me and there was little to no way my enemy could win this battle
But my enemy did had a high speed monster with heal in front and if I managed to miss enough attacks this could be a problem but I felt like there was so little chance of this happening
Lets hope for the best and keep watching

Almost nothing happened in the 4th round and the board was still looking the same as it was after the 3rd round
But the board was still looking quite unwinnable for my enemy and therefore lets just skip to the victory screen which hopefully wound not be many rounds away

This battle was definitely scary at first sight but turned out heavily one sided
The strategy to take away from this battle is that you do not need the highest level cards to win matches, sometimes strong low level team is better than wrongly built high level team as this battle demonstrated
