Introduction
Hello there! @Saydie here, playing Splinterlands everyday!
I'm here for this week's Battle Mage Secrets with the featured rule set Aim True. It is a rule set that makes melee, ranged and magic attacks always hit their target.
The Battle that I will show to you this week was last seasons battle from my @agonyaccepted account that has max level Chaos Legion deck borrowed from NFTY Arcade and is currently playing on the Diamond League of the modern format but before I show you the battle, let us learn more about this rule set.
AIM TRUE
 |
|
    |    |     |      |
Blind, Dodge, Flying and Phase ability which increases the evasion chance will not work when played on Aim True rule set.
It will be good to have monsters with Inspire ability which increases melee damage of all ally melee monsters, Stregnthen ability which increases the health of all ally monsters and Swiftness that will increase the speed of all ally monsters for buffing abilities.
De- buffing abilities that is good to have includes Demoralize which reduce melee attacks of opponent monsters, Headwinds to reduce range damage, Silence to reduce magic,Slow to reduce speed and Weaken to reduce health.
Counter abilities will also help to deal more damage when the opponent attacks you such as Magic Reflect, Return Fire, Thorns, Backfire and Retaliate.

Conveniently rent or buy this team with my Peakmonster's Decks Lineup Link.
For this battle, we have the featured rule set Aim True which makes all types of attacks hit their target without missing together with Close Range which allows range monsters to attack at 1st position and Taking Sides which bans the use of Neutral monsters. Given this conditions, I choose the following line- up:
Summoner: I used Quix the Devious to reduce the range and speed of the opponent since the opponent can either go with only range and magic and so that I can use dragon splinters.
1st Position: I used Baakjira for my tank since it has very huge amount of health but also increases the health of all allied monster with Strengthen and reduce the speed of all opponent monsters with Slow. It also has Void which reduces damage from magic attacks and Heal to restore the damage that it has taken.
2nd Position: I placed the Kulu Mastermind which has the Opportunity ability to target the monster with the lowest health and Weapons Training which gives 2 melee attack to Baakjira.
33d Position: I placed the Deeplurker which also has Opportunity and also has Demoralize which reduces the melee damage of the opponent monsters and has 50% chance to deal Poison.
4th Position: I placed the River Hellondale which has the Inspire ability by which it increased the melee damage of my monsters by 1 and it also got Dispel which removes the buffs of the target. It can also revives a monster once with Ressurect.
5th Position: I used Angelic Mandarin which reduces the magic of the opponent by 1 and restores the health of backline monsters with Triage.
6th Position: I placed Wave Brood which also has the Void ability as well as Return Fire which returns range damage to the attacker. It has the Taunt ability which attracts all abled monster to attack this card. It also has Close Range but with the available rule sets, it can still attack at front position either ways.

Battle Recap
Here is a replay of the battle which at you can watch at 3speak or in Splinterlands.
Did your Strategy Work?
For this battle, I have most of the abilities that would help me to won the match with the Aim True rule set. I got the Speed and Armor Boost from my summoner and got to increase my health and melee damage with Baakjira and River Hellondale while also providing stat debuffs for my opponent. I also have Wave Brood which deals Return Fire to the range monster of the opponent. Speed was very helpful on this rule set but we can also see that having huge health would make it harder for the opponent to defeat my team just like with Baakjira and Wavebrood and despite their speed, their attacks will certainly hit, leaving the opponent with no way to escape.
