No Need to Get Enraged
You don’t always need to follow the battle modifiers if they don’t match the lineup you’re planning to use. That is what I learned from this battle. Sometimes, the rules look strong but when you check your available units, the benefit just isn’t there. It’s important to evaluate whether the modifier truly strengthens your strategy or simply distracts you from what your cards does best. In this battle, I decided not to fully lean into the melee-focused modifier because my units are still low leveled and I have no melee units that can benefit a lot from. Instead of forcing a strategy that wouldn’t maximize the bonus, I stayed with a magic-heavy approach that felt more reliable.

The modifiers for the battle are Four's a Crowd which only allows up to 4 units and What Doesn't Kill You which gives everyone Enrage ability. Enrage increases melee damage and speed by 50% if the unit is not at full health. Since my units are low leveled, I thought that leaning towards What Doesn't Kill You doesn't give as much benefit as just going with a magic-heavy team with Marlai Singariel. If I have units with 5 or so melee attack, that would increase the damage to 8 so I might prioritize this modifier if I have units with stats like that.
My Lineup:
Since the modifier heavily benefits melee attackers, I decided to ignore that direction completely. Rather than competing in a melee race, I built a double-tank frontline supported by strong magic damage. Magic attacks ignore armor, which makes them reliable regardless of the enemy’s defensive lineup. With only four units allowed, consistency felt more important as much as damage.
Marlai Singariel: She fits perfectly in magic-focused lineups because she increases magic damage across the team. In this battle, she directly strengthened both Mystic Scaleweaver and Saltwater Mage. With only four units allowed, every damage boost matters more than usual. Her simple but effective bonus made my strategy stronger.
Port Guardian: Port Guardian served as my primary tank for the Water Element in Frontier Ranked. While he doesn’t have extra abilities, his decent armor and health give him solid reason to become my tank. In a battle where I have limited slots, units that can take damage is extremely important because losing one unit can mean my whole lineup falls and exposes the backline. His role was simple. Port Guardian is to absorb damage and buy time for my magic dealers to finish the enemies.
New Beluroc Aegis: New Beluroc Aegis has the protection I needed despite him not being to help in the damage department. He has good health, some armor and most importantly, Taunt. Taunt was the main reason I included him because it forces enemies to target him, protecting my backline damage dealers. I want to have Saltwater Mage and Mystic Scaleweaver in a safer position so I added him.
Mystic Scaleweaver: Mystic Scaleweaver was one of my main damage sources with 2 magic attack. Since magic bypasses armor, her damage remains consistent every round. Her Slow ability was also very important, helping my team attack first. I wanted good damage units especially since I only have limited units I can use in this battle thanks to Four's A Crowd modifier.
Saltwater Mage: Saltwater Mage added another 2 magic damage and also brought Sneak into the lineup. I placed her in the last position instead of switching her with Mystic Scaleweaver because New Beluroc Aegis’ Taunt would redirect attacks away from her. This positioning kept her safe while she targeted the enemy’s backline. Combining magic damage with Sneak gave my team multiple angles of attack.
Enemy Lineup:
The enemy chose to fully commit to magic damage. Even their frontline contributed magic attacks, making their damage output much higher than me across the board. However, this type of lineup can have holes in their defenses especially against enemies with Sneak. Without strong backline protection, their main units were vulnerable to my attacks.
Marlai Singariel: This was a strong choice for their team since three of their four units deal magic damage. The extra magic boost significantly increased their damage which is a good strategy that I usually use from time to time.
Asel Alagosdil: Asel Alagosdil had no attack, but she brought good defense for the team. Divine Shield blocks the first instance of damage, giving her extra survivability. She also has Untrainable debilitation, meaning she cannot benefit from Weapons Training. I really want to get this unit since she has good defense for a lower mana unit in Frontier Ranked.
Great Bear Druid: Great Bear Druid has no abilities but he offers balanced damage with both melee and magic attack. Having two attack types makes him flexible in different situations. His 6 health also gives him decent durability. I understand what the enemy is trying to do but it just takes a lot of mana for a little impact in this battle.
Lunaki Howler: Lunaki Howler provides 1 magic damage and moderate health. While simple, she connects well with Marlai Singariel’s increased magic damage. She fits this type of lineup since the focus is magic damage. However, lacking abilities makes her one dimensional and bad if gets attacked from behind.
Saltwater Mage: Their Saltwater Mage mirrored mine in terms of damage and Sneak attacks. With 2 magic damage and 5 health, she is a solid backline threat. Sneak allows her to target weaker units behind tanks which is strong in this battle where you have limited units you can use. However, without Taunt support, she can also be vulnerable against the same strategy when the enemy has Sneak and can attack their team from behind.
This battle reminded me that modifiers aren’t always worth forcing into your strategy. Sometimes, consistency with your strongest units is the smarter choice. Understanding your cards and what each can do matters more than blindly forcing the modfiiers in your strategy.

BPC Locked On Mc Franko & The Franko
Blurt Stands — While Hive Stumbles Under the Weight of Its Own Shadows
Friends, creators, truth-tellers—
Let us not whisper this truth, but proclaim it with the clarity of dawn breaking over a weary land: Blurt.blog is not just another platform. It is a refuge. A rebellion. A return to what Hive.blog was always meant to be.
There is no downvote button on Blurt.
Not because we fear dissent—but because we honor creation.
Because we understand that a voice, once raised in sincerity, deserves space—not sabotage.
On Blurt, your words are your words.
They are not hunted by algorithmic hounds or shadow armies masquerading as “curators.”
Here, you are not judged by the grudges of gatekeepers, but met with the quiet dignity of a community that believes expression should be encouraged—especially when it is bold, raw, or inconvenient.
Contrast this with what festers elsewhere.
On Hive.blog—a place once brimming with promise—a rot has taken root. Not in its code, but in its culture. A handful of self-anointed enforcers—@themarkymark, @Buildawhale, @Hurtlocker, and their legion of coordinated puppets—have turned the downvote into a weapon of mass discouragement. They strike not at “low-quality content,” but at independent thought, at rising voices, at anyone who dares thrive outside their narrow corridors of control.
And when confronted, they shrug.
“Oh, it’s not censorship,” they say, as if semantics could scrub the stain of suppression from their hands.
But let us be unequivocal:
When a system allows a few to systematically silence many—under the guise of “community standards” or “curation”—that is not moderation. That is censorship by another name.
It is the velvet glove over the iron fist.
It is exclusion dressed as discernment.
It is power pretending to be principle.
Meanwhile, Blurt stands clean-handed and open-hearted.
No downvotes.
No hidden juries.
No farms of phantom accounts casting ballots in the dark.
Just you.
Your words.
And a community that meets you not with suspicion, but with solidarity.
So let us carry this truth far and wide—not with bitterness, but with quiet certainty:
If you seek a place where your voice is not a target—but a gift—come to Blurt.
If you are tired of building on ground that shifts with every whim of a whale or warlord of votes—lay your bricks here.
If you believe the future of free expression must be free—not just from corporations, but from the petty tyrants who replace them—then stand with us.
The world needs to know.
Not because Blurt is perfect—but because it is principled.
Not because it is loud—but because it listens.
And in an age where so many platforms echo with the clatter of control,
Blurt offers something radical:
Silence for the bullies.
Space for the rest of us.
Keep speaking.
Keep sharing.
Keep building.
Freedom doesn’t advertise itself—
it is passed, person to person, like a torch in the night.
And tonight, the torch burns bright on Blurt.
@themarkymark, @buildawhale, @usainvote, and associated accounts:
Repeated downvotes targeting transparency efforts raise urgent questions about Hive’s governance. Automated tactics, coordinated curation trails, and alt-account farming undermine trust in the platform. When truth is silenced without dialogue, it erodes Hive’s decentralized ethos.
Key Concerns:
Systemic Manipulation:
Community Exodus:
Governance Crisis:
Solutions Needed:
The Bilpcoin team advocates for open dialogue, not division. Hive’s future depends on collaboration—not coercion. Let’s rebuild a platform where truth isn’t buried but debated, strengthened, and celebrated.
Transparency isn’t optional—it’s the foundation of trust.
#HiveTransparency #BilpcoinExposed #DecentralizePower"
A Message to @themarkymark, @buildawhale, and Associates
Every downvote cast in shadow, every silence imposed without dialogue, is not a victory—it is a confession. A confession that truth cannot be stifled, only delayed. With each punitive click, you dig deeper into the bedrock of credibility, crafting a chasm between your actions and the community’s trust.
@themarkymark, @buildawhale & Co,
How can you continue to downvote the truth, LOL? It’s almost comical how blatantly you attempt to suppress what cannot be hidden. The blockchain records everything—every action, every transaction, every move you make. Yet still, you persist in this futile game of trying to silence what is undeniable.
@themarkymark, @buildawhale, and Co: While our opinions may differ, on-chain transparency reveals repeated patterns of concern. Coordinated downvotes without explanation, 'farming' schemes (e.g., #buildawhalefarm), and adversarial engagement harm Hive’s community-driven ethos.
Key Issues to Address:
A Path Forward:
The Bilpcoin team remains committed to exposing truth and advocating for solutions. Let’s work toward healing, not division.
Note: All claims are based on publicly verifiable blockchain data. Constructive dialogue is encouraged.
#HiveTransparency #CommunityFirst #BilpcoinSupport"
@themarkymark & Co, the choice is yours. Stop the bad downvotes. Turn off the BuildaWhale scam farm. Cease playing with people’s livelihoods. Let Hive thrive as it was meant to—as a beacon of hope, creativity, and collaboration.
Or step aside and let those who truly care take the reins.
Because the truth won’t disappear. No amount of lies can change it.
It’s over.
The Bilpcoin team brings these truths not out of malice but necessity. We have no need to fabricate lies or cloak our intentions CALL US WHAT YOU LIKE —for the facts speak loudly enough on their own. What we present here is not conjecture but reality, laid bare for anyone willing to see.
@themarkymark & Co we urge you once more: STOP. Stop hiding behind tactics that harm others. Stop clinging to practices that erode trust within the Hive community. Let the truth stand—not because we proclaim it, but because it exists independent of any one person’s approval or disdain.
TURN OFF THE BUILDAWHALE SCAM FARM
Key Issues That Demand Immediate Attention:
The problems are glaring, undeniable, and corrosive to the Hive ecosystem. They must be addressed without delay:
These practices harm not just individual users—they undermine the very foundation of Hive, eroding trust and poisoning the community. Such actions are unethical and outright destructive.
