Splinterlands Social Media Challenge: Battlefield Breakdowns!

Hello to all Splinterlands warriors, I hope you all are happy!

Original Challenge announcement post is here

In this post, I'll share a story about a battle where I used a Healer card for the first time, which was quite exciting. This card may not be new to you. As far as I know, it's a basic Level 1 card, so hopefully everyone has used it. But as a new player, this was a new and exciting card for me.

It's called "Meriput Magician." I'd probably stayed away from it until now because the powerful, higher-level cards delegated by @bravetofu were of a different element, so I hadn't explored this element. Even today, I had the option, but I decided to learn something new. This isn't my best battle, but it's a great story about winning while exploring something new.

All the cards on the battleground are basic, so this battle might not seem all that impressive. However, at the front of my lineup, I've placed a melee card I won from the reward shop. Behind it, I usually see a card with the Reach ability, but I didn't have many options in this element, so I've deployed another melee card with the Sneak ability. Behind that is a Magic card that will make its melee counterparts more powerful with its Inspire ability. Then, in fourth place, is a Healer, followed by another Magic, and finally, a slow but powerful Hippo. Overall, my team has a good mix of almost every type of card.

No card suffered significant damage throughout the first round, but with the final attack, my slow but powerful Hippo took down one of my opponent's cards. It's a real underdog. The heal ability hadn't kicked in yet, and honestly, I had no idea how it was going to work, but before the second round even began, Meriput Magician healed his front-line brother with +1 health. Wow, the +1 seemed a little small, but it did heal, and technically, I still have the upper hand on my opponent.

I suffered a slight loss in the second round, losing one of my top cards. However, in the third round, my team again put pressure on my opponent, killing another of their cards. Now, in a way, we're taking each other's cards one by one, so it's hard to say who will win.

However, by looking at the number of cards remaining on the battleground and their ability to perform attacks, it's clear who has the upper hand. In most of my battles so far, the battles often seemed one-sided because of the monster cards delegated by Brave, but in this battle, you can't do that because both the opponent and I had basic cards of the same level.

So far, with only one card loss, my team is standing strong. After the first round, my Healer card healed my front-line brother by +2 health each round, which was a good support. That's why I'm going to explore this ability a little more now, as it can play a crucial role in tough battles, and it might even help you win a lost game. When you watch this battle, you'll see how I used all my cards in the lineup. However, the outcome of this battle could have been reversed if the enemy had included units with the Thorns ability or one or more a little heavy attackers in their team.

I believe that every battle is a kind of opportunity for us to enjoy the game and also learn some different tips and tricks so that we can play better next time. As I learned this time, I should have considered the possibility that Thorn units on the enemy side will also look for more cards with healing ability. You know what, sometimes when I lose the battle, then I replay the same and I try to find out what went wrong and what good could have done to avoid this Situation on the battleground. And I would also advise all of you to watch your battles in repeat mode and learn a lot from your own mistakes. I'm hopeful that over a period of time, I will improve my win rate.

This is my little game knowledge. I may be wrong, and in that case, I will be happy to learn from all of you. Thank you! :)
