Splinterlands Battle Of The Week: Forcing my enemies attacks

With the ruleset and element pick that I got I wanted to force my enemies Blast damage where it will benefit me more than him
So in my case I went with earth element as I had a Taunt + 2 Martyr combo in there
Also Immortalis is always a great pick when the rulesets does not point you in any direction at all
Void - 50% less damage (rounded up) from magic attacks or 0 damage from magic attacks of 1 power
Void Armor - Magic damage hits armor before health

Mycelic Infantry was my main tanks for this battle
Main reason I like Mycelic Infantry here a lot is his Shield ability
Combine him with my summoners Void and that makes Mycelic Infantry take only half damage
Shield - 50% less damage (rounded up) from physical attacks or 0 damage from physical attacks of 1 power

Venari Marksrat was here just to get killed by Explosive Weaponry and buff adjacent units
Martyr - When this Unit dies, adjacent Units get +1 to all stats

Mycelic Slipspawn was here only because of his Taunt ability and that so my enemy is forced to kill both of my Martyr monsters
Taunt - Draws the attacks of enemy units. Does not affect Reach, Scattershot, Wingbreak, or enemy units in the first position
Forcefield - Attacks dealing 5 base damage or more instead deal 1 damage

Next up in line is my second Martyr monster
Same goes with him as Venari Marksrat
Martyr - When this Unit dies, adjacent Units get +1 to all stats
Blind - All enemy Melee & Ranged attacks have a 15% higher chance of missing their target. Blind also affects units with phase

Last but not least is my only healer
For 6 mana his stats are not the worst but speed could be better
Alongside the decent stats is his Tank Heal ability and also Affliction ability
Tank Heal - Each round, restores 1/3 of max health (rounded down) to the allied unit in the first position
Affliction - 50% chance to apply Afflicted after a successful attack. Afflicted units cannot be healed

After seeing the starting board I was both happy and sad at the same time
My enemy played ranged monsters which meant my Taunt and double Martyr combo was going to be in play but what made me sad was that my enemies team was much higher level than mine
That level diff was going to make this battle really hard and possible even lose me this one
But my predictions could still be off by a mile so lets start the battle and have a look

After first round the board was already starting to look in my favor somehow
I had managed to take down is first tank and meanwhile I only lost my first Martyr monster
Also I was about to lose my second one in the next round which makes my team even stronger
But anything could still happen so lets keep watching

After 2nd Round I was really happy and all of the panic was gone as the battle was basically over
I took down my enemies last two melee monsters in a single round with a magic Blast attack
The next round should be the last for this battle as I just have too much magic damage and my enemy only has weak ranged monsters

This battle was definitely heavily one sided but still fun to watch
The strategy to take away from this battle is the Taunt + double Martyr combo in a Explosive Weaponry ruleset battle
