Today I am here to share my first winning battle at #Splinterlands. You are going to love it.

Lineup That I used for this battle.

But first, I would like to describe about the monster I used in the battle

1st Place

"CHAOS KNIGHT" is a Common Life Unit Monster Equipped with 2 Melee attack power, 2 Speed, 4 Health, and 3 Armor. Because of their dominance, these creatures are frequently encountered at the front lines of the Chaos Legion's conquering soldiers. They are fully armored and carry gigantic combat axes capable of slaying even the most powerful opponents.

But yes why this one?

There were a lot more Melee attack monsters that could be used at the first position in this battle, right? But I chose to utilize "CHAOS KNIGHT" That is because he has the "Shield" ability.

Now What are the advantages of having this "Shield"* ability?

Monsters with "Shield" ability took less damage when targeted by any Melee or Ranged attack monster. Like when a monster that has only 1 Melee or Ranged attack power hit the "Shield" ability monster, it would do zero health or Armor damage. If a monster that has only 2 Melee or Ranged attack power hit the "Shield" ability monster, it would do one health or Armor damage.

As all the monsters with Melee or Ranged attack power will target the first positioned monster, I chose "CHAOS KNIGHT" as a monster for the 1st Place.

2nd Place

"HERBALIST" is a Common Life Unit Monster Equipped with 1 Ranged attack power, 1 Speed, 2 Health. He spends the majority of his time in the jungles of Azmaré and Splinterland gathering exotic plant species. He makes wound medication from each of these plants. They bring a wide range of items with them wherever they travel. Herbalist bags often include a broad array of lethal poisons, despite the fact that their collections are primarily focused on healing plants.

Basically, I used this monster in this battle because it is a ranged attack monster. Though he is weak in terms of stats, It would do a perfect job. Because the main powerful Ranged attack monster of my team is "PELACOR ARBALEST" whose life would be in damager if my opponent used any "Opportunity" ability monster. Because he comes with Only 2 Health and monsters with "Opportunity" ability always targets the lowest Health enemy monster. But if I use "HERBALIST" it would be the lowest Health monster of the battle and "Opportunity" ability monsters will target him instead of "PELACOR ARBALEST".

3rd Place

"TRUTHSPEAKER" is a Common Life Unit Monster that has no attack power but 2 Speed, 1 Health. According to rumors, they have the power to interact directly with the Heaven World by speaking in tongues. They are renowned as worship heroes, with Language as their primary subject of research.

Now, this might be a question that though he has no attack power, why I use him in this battle. That's only because of his "Protect" ability that can confer an extra +1 Armor bonus on all allied creatures. You won't believe it until you see yourself that a single Armor could be so much beneficial for the monsters. A creature with only one health can be killed with one attack. Taking Armor from "TRUTHSPEAKER", however, the opposing monster had to assault twice to kill the creature's 1 health.

4th Place

"PELACOR ARBALEST" is a Rare Life Unit Monster Equipped with 2 Ranged attack power, 2 Speed, 2 Health. He wields formidable crossbows that have been altered to discharge bolts at incredibly long ranges. They've been taught to use a crossbow in each hand and to shoot both at the same time with lethal precision.

The main point of using this monster in a battle is its "Double Attack" ability. The monster with this ability can attack the targeted monster twice in each round. So after "PELACOR ARBALEST" get extra +1 Ranged attack power from the Life Summoner "GENERAL SLOAN", his Ranged attack power becomes 3 and he strike the enemy monster twice dealing a total of 6 health damage. That's a lot, isn't it?

5th Place

"Scavo Hireling" is a Common Life Unit Monster that has no attack power but 2 Speed, 1 Health. He excels at simple chores that do not necessitate much time or effort. As they adore learning new things, he has a desire for data, tales, and gadgets, so whether you pay him a coin or not, you must offer him one of those.

I know this monster has no attacking power still, I like to use him in most of my battle because of his "Repair" ability. He can restore some armor to the friendly Monster whose armor has taken the most damage in each round. That is mean when the Armor of any friendly monster is damaged by the enemy monster, he will repair back +2 Armor each battle.

6th Place

"GARGOYA SCRAPPER" is a Common Life Unit Monster Equipped with 1 Melee attack power, 2 Speed, 2 Health. The Chaos Legion infiltrated the Splinterlands through the gap in Mount Praetorius and destroyed the great palace of the Gargoya, resulting in an epic conflict. The stone gargoyles lost the war and retreated to neighboring continents across the ocean. Now, they've set up workstations to expand their numbers and progress their civilization, resulting in gargoyas of all shapes and sizes.

Battle Shots:

ROUND 1

The summoner first exercises their power over a friendly monster or an enemy monster, according to the rules of battle. So the Life Summoner I used has the ability to give extra +1 Ranged attack power to all the allied monsters. I used only two Ranged attack monsters. Two of them get extra +1 Ranged attack power.

The opponent uses the Death Monster that has the power to reduce one life of all the enemy monsters. Also, one attack power of all Magic attack monsters will reduce. I didn't use any of Magic attack monsters so that ability goes waste but all my friendly monster's Health was reduced.

The opponent's team monsters were the fastest. So they started to attack first. The reason I used the monster name "CHAOS KNIGHT" was a success. Four of the enemy monsters where one of them is Melee attack monster "CURSED WINDEKU" and the 2 others are Ranged attack monsters "SOUL STRANGLER" and "XENITH ARCHER" and one is Magic attack monster, targeted "CHAOS KNIGHT". "CURSED WINDEKU" attacked with his 2 Melee power but could do only 1 Armor damage. As the Rare Life Monster "CHAOS KNIGHT" has the "Shield" ability that reduces the damage from Melee and Ranged attack. The same thing happened when the other 2 Ranged attack monsters attacked him. Although "SOUL STRANGLER's" attack caused 1 damage to "CHAOS KNIGHT's" health, "XENITH ARCHER" strike did not cause any damage to "CHAOS KNIGHT's" health due to his attacking power being 1. But the monster of magic attack "LIFE SAPPER" doing great. Its magic attacks were directly harming the Health of "CHAOS KNIGHT". And Each time it damage the Health of any enemy monster, it gain extra +1 Health. That is because this magic attack monster has the "Life Leech" ability.

The opponent used two Melee power monsters with "Sneak" ability. So those two monsters were targeting the last position monster of my team "GARGOYA SCRAPPER". But those two monsters couldn't kill him because he has Armors. I was using 6 monsters but only 3 of them have the capability to attack the enemy monsters. 2 of those 3 monsters were Ranged attack and the other one is Melee attack. The Rare Life Monster "PELACOR ARBALEST" that has 2 Ranged attack power becomes 3 after getting an extra +1 Ranged attack power from the summoner. Also, he has the "Double Strike" ability. I am pretty sure that after hearing the name of this ability, you all understood what it means? Yes, he can attack the enemy monsters twice at a time in each round. So that is what he did in this first round. "PELACOR ARBALEST" strike twice on the enemy monster "CURSED WINDEKU" and damage 6 of this enemy monster's Health. The creature with the Melee attack power of my team "CHAOS KNIGHT" were hitting the first position monster of the enemy team. But the problem is enemy team's first positioned monster "CURSED WINDEKU" has the "Thorns" ability. Because of this ability When "CURSED WINDEKU" hit with a Melee attack, does damage back to the attacker. As a result every time "CHAOS KNIGHT" was damaging his Health, he damaged it back to him. But thanks to "Shield" ability that reduces the damage from that. But the matter of sorrow is I used Ranged attack monster and at the last strike of round 1, "HERBALIST" killed that enemy monster.

2nd Round

At round 2, finally, the "Sneak" ability monster of the enemy team "SILENT SHA-VI" killed the last monster of my row. honestly killing that monster wasn't beneficial for my opponent. After that, the monster with "Life Leech" ability "LIFE SAPPER" again targeted the first positioned monster of my row and earn extra Health. But that wasn't good enough against the "PELACOR ARBALEST" because he has 3 Ranged attack power and attacks the targeted monster twice in a row. So that enemy monster was slain by him at an instance.

As it happens, the Ranged attack monster of the opposite team "SOUL STRANGLER" targets "CHAOS KNIGHT". But it can't damage the Health because of having Armor. The Common Neutral Monster "Scavo Hireling" that has the "Repair" ability, notice that the Armor of his friendly monster has been destroyed. So with the help of his ability, he repair back some of the damaged Armor of "CHAOS KNIGHT".

At that moment, only 4 monsters were alive of the enemy team. "SILENT SHA-VI" which is a Rare Death Monster was the in-charge of the team. Due to having the 1st place position, it was targeted by 2 of my friendly monsters. First "CHAOS KNIGHT" attack and damage 2 of its Health. The next attacker was "HERBALIST". "SILENT SHA-VI" was barely alive with 1 Health only.

3rd Round

The 3rd round was total destruction for my opponent. Each and every attack from my team's monsters were killing the enemy monsters one by one. "SILENT SHA-VI" tried his best but my monsters were unbeatable. At the 3rd hit of this round, "PELACOR ARBALEST" take down the Melee attack monster "SILENT SHA-VI". Not finished yet because he will get another chance to attack and this time he targeted another Melee attack monster of the enemy team "UNDEAD BADGER" and that monster died.

The rest of the two ranged attack monsters had no chance at all. Even they didn't get a chance of attack at this round. "SOUL STRANGLER" were killed by "CHAOS KNIGHT" and "XENITH ARCHER" was killed by "HERBALIST."

And yes, that is a resounding victory.
