Hello guys,
Today I am going to share with you another battle in @splinterlands.

I played with water splinter. And my opponent also used a water splinter against me.

And my opponent had his/her cards as BORTUS level 8, LORD ARIANTHUS level 3, ELECTRIC EELS level 8, SEA GENIE level 8, CRUSTACEAN KING level 8, RULER OF THE SEAS level 4 and PHANTOM OF THE ABYSS level 2.
Let me talk about monsters that I used in this battle.

This monster is a great first tank/ second tank/ or a tank in the last position. It is a shame that it doesn't have healing but it still is a fine monster that doesn't cost too much mana.

After selecting my team I still had a free spot left. So I added monster that cost 0 mana.
On the battlefield.
I was not very happy when I saw that my opponent has a good tank and a healer. But my team had a lot of magic power so I was not too worried.
At this point my opponent's tank and his magic reflect was still a problem. But I was confident that my mages will overcome this obstacle.
After my team killed my opponent's tank this battle was already decided. Destroying the rest of his monsters was just a formality. And soon I won.
In this battle I won 13.026 Dec and 10 League Rating. My strategy worked well-HYDRA protected my images and they destroyed my opponent's team.
Retaliate is a great ability and I like monsters who have it.
I would like having CRUSTACEAN KING in my team because LOBSTRADAMUS could use some healing and shields would be nice for all my monsters. But I don't think that I would be willing to replace anyone in this team.
