Hi everyone, I hope you're having a great day! I just made my first post for this weeks Battle Mage Secrets challenge about an hour ago and because I need to take it easy today I'm going to post this one right after it, in the last weeks I was struggling to think about nice subjects for the Social Media Challenge, and while I made numerous, mainly explainers to help new players I didn't have the inspiration for nice new posts, and I didn't want to make anything that didn't look good, so last week for the first time I made two Battle Mage Secrets posts, I'm battling every day and tend to save my nice battles to make posts about so I generally have a nice collection to write about ??.
This weeks challenge is about the What doesn't kill you ruleset, in which all monsters get the enrage ability, boosting their speed, and for melee units also their attack damage.
All units gain the Enrage ability which multiplies their speed and melee attack by 1.5x rounded up.
The attack multiplier only affects melee units.
Units with Inspire will increase your melee attack; Demoralize will decrease your opponent's melee attack.
So you want to pick a nice beefy tank for this ruleset, in my last post, Grum Flameblade was my tank, other tanks that will fit this ruleset very nice:
- Unicorn Mustang
- Uriel the Purifier
- Diemon Shark (at low level it doesn't have enrage on it's own)
- Djinn Chwala
and undoubtedly there will be many more but this is just what comes to mind right away.
First look at the battlefield:
I got the Grund right! I think I'm okay with this opponent since my team has Void Armor and some reflect while I'm equiped a lot better against the poison than my opponent ??.
My Line-Up:
- : Grandmaster Rathe - reason: Void Armor to protect against magic.
- First position: Pelacor Conjurer - reason: Spell Reflect to kill magic glass cannons, I've put this is the first position because Uriel can't do anything in the first turn because of the recharge ability.
- Second position: Uriel the Purifier - reason: Good damage, good speed for enrage, self heal against the poison.
- Third position: Venari Marksrat - reason: Martyr, he's supposed to die from poison.
- Fourth position: Imperial Knight - reason: He can't attack but he can heal the poison damage, just to outlast my opponent.
- Fifth position: Adelade Brightwing - reason: Repair and resurrect.
- Sixth position: Evelyn Auvera - reason: Immunity and good sneak protection, again, outlasting is key.
The Battle:
For only 2 mana the Pelacor Conjurer brings a lot of problems for my opponent, yes it already died once but it's going to reflect more damage, killing one or two magic monsters before dying himself and it only costs me 2 mana.
Well that was fast, almost the entire enemy team died ??
One more down, easy win this time, it's not at all easy in Modern Silver so very welcome!
As expected, in round 4 the Centauri Mage died, ending the battle.
You can watch the battle unfold for yourself here.
Well that's it for the challenges for me for this week, I'm going to play some more ranked battles and think about what I'm going to do with my available funds to build my deck... Buy a level 2 Possiblus? I'm having great difficulties beating it when I meet him in battles, but it's also nice to save the funds for the Rebellion pre-sale only 6 days away!
Splinterlands has been my favorite game for over two years now, and the only time I skip playing is when I'm abroad once a year for summer vacation but damn, there are soooo many choices to make in this game and you just can't have it all!
Be safe and healthy out there boys and girls, I wish you a nice weekend and week and good luck and have fun in your battles, just not too much luck when you meet me in battle ??.
I hope to see you on my blog next week, c ya!
