Hello Friends,
Source
Good day everyone, it's yet another mid week as we are on a Wednesday one more time!!!
That means, there is a new Social Media Challenge up on Splinterlands and here I am with yet another nice battle to share for the same and this time, it's a death splinter I used and the lineup I am sharing is by far one of the best.
I always write a blog for Social Media Challenge more than Community Engagement Challenge because it is like a free hit ball in Cricket, I mean, it gives me that freedom to write about anything about Splinterlands unlike a specific topic in community engagement challenge.
So, this blog is also like a free hit for me to write about my favorite battle I fought recently and I always feel more confident to write about a battle than write about some random topic.
Explaining about the monsters, I means lineup I used and also the way the battle went on is something I always enjoy writing about.
So, let me get you the details of the battle I want to explain.
Battle and Lineup:
https://splinterlands.com/battle/sl_a5947d46fe8a5e3aa570bd6850f83aec?ref=coolguy123
As you can see above, the battle I am sharing had 42 MANA cap with 3 rule sets in explosive weaponry(all monsters having blast ability), counterspell(attacks back when a magic monster is attacked) and Tis but scratches(cripple ability to all the monsters).
42 MANA cap is enough to setup some of the best monsters we have in Splinterlands and I used the monsters as mentioned below.
Lineup:
1. Harklaw:
Harklaw is, I could say, one of the underrated monsters and this rewards card monster is a melee attack monster with 3 attack and more importantly, it has some nice abilities like shield, immunity, demoralize which makes it to use as often as possible.
I had made up my mind to use Arachne Weaver in my lineup to heal this and other monsters as it is a monster with corrupted healing ability and that will definitely make Harklaw to make it stay longer in the battle.
2. Venari Marksrat:
This was used to enhance the stats for adjacent monsters as it is a monster with martyr ability and with 2 resurrect monsters, this was about to get re-instated and hence, will help in getting the enhanced stats for adjacent monsters more than once.
3. Riftwing:
Used this along with another no attack monster in Will-O-Wisp and Skok Duskblight in between those 2 as these 2 monsters will get the weapons training by Skok Duskblightand will get the magic attack.
This monster is also special for it's abilities of scavenger, backfire, headwind.
4. Skok Duskblight:
As I mentioned above, used this for getting 2 monsters with weapons training using this and also to utilize it's 3 magic attack along with the resurrect ability.
These monsters with martyr and weapons training are always special as they bring life into the no attack monsters, especially the weapons training ones and I always enjoy using those in the battles.
5. Will-O-Wisp:
And... this is the other no attack monster which will get magic attack from Skok Duskblight and this is also useful with it's abilities of silence, weaken and flying and it has huge health of Eleven!!!
Will-O-Wisp is best suited for the weapons training along with the Riftwing because of the versatile abilities these 2 monsters have.
6. Arachne Weaver:
Last but not least is this corrupted healing ability monster of Arachne Weaver which itself is also going to get it's health increased due to scavenger ability and it is useful with it's 2 magic attack.
Scavenger ability is a boon to monsters and it's a big boon to Arachne Weaver because it needs to survive more rounds in order to keep getting the health back to all the ally monsters from it's corrupted healing ability.
The lineup is a bit different from my usual lineup with Cursed Windeku at the front, as I planned to utilize the demoralize ability from Harklaw and also make use of that weapons training* from Skok Duskblight as usual. Rest of the monsters all look more or less same with the exception of Venari Marksrat.
Here are few screenshots from the battle as I continue battling and I hope you got a flavor of the battle I fought thru these screenshots.
That battle felt like fought for ages with so many resurrects but it was an interesting one and winning against summoner Conqueror Jacek is not an easy task but this lineup I used made it look so easy eventhough so many rounds of battle it was.
Thanks and Have a good day :)
