Hello guys!

Yeeeeey I'm back again with my Splinterlands post. I'm writing this post to follow Splinterlands Mage Secrets Battle Challenge Aim True. This isn't the first Mage Secrets with this theme, as a few weeks ago this theme was also out. But that doesn't mean this reduces my enthusiasm to take part in this challenge.

Well, I'm not a professional player or a tournament hero. I merely like to discuss battles and strategies that in my opinion are worthwhile. I participated in this combat using my Scholarship account with IGN BLTZR-WIZARD-700. I played in the Diamond league at modern rank while using a Full main Chaos Legion edition card and several Reward cards. The battle strategy that I shared may not be effective in other leagues because of the different levels of each league.

Ok guys, without further ado, let's get straight to the main point of this post!

BATTLE PREPARATION

Challenge Rules

RULESET: AIM TRUE

Description:
Melee and Ranged attacks will always hit their target.

This applies to magic attacks even if the Phase ability is in play.

Battle Rulesets

The rulesets in this battle are:

• Stampede (The Trample ability can trigger multiple times per attack if the trampled Monster is killed)
• Aim True (Attacks always hit their target)
• Up to Eleven (All monsters have the Amplify ability)
• Mana Capacity 57
• Active Element Fire, Water, Earth, Death and Dragon.

Line Up and Strategy

The best battle is to make perfect use of rulesets. From the rulesets above, I strategized

Monster	Position	Abilities	Strategy
Possibilus the Wise	Summoner	+2 HP, Trample, Reach	Considering that the rules in this battle are Stampede, then I think Possibilus the Wise who will provide a buff in the form of Trample abilities for all friendly monsters is the best Summoner. Another buff ability is Reach, so Melee a monster that previously could only move in the first position, can now also become an attacker if it is in the second position. This will show an epic scene if the Trample of some monsters is active.
Diemonshark	First	Trample, Enrage, Retaliate	I chose Diemonshark who has great HP and Armor, high Speed and Enrage, Retaliate and Trample ability in first place. This monster will act as a Tank as well as an attacker, because this monster also has great damage. Moreover, if the Enrage of this monster is active, then the speed and damage from the initial stats are already high will increase by 1.5x from the initial stats. The weakness of this monster is the Magic attack, where the magic attack will directly hit this monster's HP, so in anticipation I will also use a second tank to help this team's defense.
Coastal Centry	Second	Double Strike, Piercing	Coastal Centry will be an ain attacker in this team, because it has a Double Strike ability with great damage and combined with Piercing ability. This monster will get a Reach ability buff from Possibilus the Wise, so even if it is in second place, this monster can still perform attacks.
Kulu Mastermind	Third	Weapons Training, Opportunity, Shield	I chose Kulu Mastermind in third place, with great damage and Shield ability, this monster is able to defend and attack. This is in anticipation that if the two monsters in front of him die, then Kulu mastermind will still be a good tank because Shield ability will reduce the Melee and Range attacks received by this monster. Well, I didn't use the Weapons Training ability in this battle, but the function of this monster as an attacker is already very good in this formation.
Deeplurker	Fourth	Opportunity, Poison, Demoralize	Just like Kulu Mastermond, Deeplurker who has a Chance ability with enormous damage equipped with Poison ability will duet with Kulu Mastermond to target the opponent's monster with the smallest HP, so it will make the attack on the opponent's atmosphere more deadly because of the consecutive attacks from the two monsters. In addition, this monster is also a support monster and Demoralize's ability will reduce all attack damage from the opponent's melee monster.
Nerissa Tridawn	Fifth	None	Although Nerissa Dridawn has no abilities, this monster has deadly damage, namely 5 magic attacks. In addition, this server also has quite a large HP, so I think the cost and stats are comparable, even without being equipped with abilities.
Wave Brood	Last	Taunt, Close Range, Void, Return Fire	As I explained above, Wave Brood who has Taunt ability will be another Tank besides Diemonshark. I melted this monster in the last position with the aim of minimizing the Blast from the opponent's monster attack, so it would only hit 1 monster in front of it. In contrast to Diemonshark, Wave Brood can withstand Magic attacks well because it has a Void ability, and can withstand attacks from Range monsters well because it has the Return Fire ability, but this monster is weak against Melee attacks, where this monster also has no Armor.

You can see the line-up of both teams from the picture below. The opponent also uses the Legendary Summoner from the Chaos Legion edition, Conqueror Jacek. Conqueror has +2 Speed, Scattershot, and Piercing buffs. At first glance, the opponent relies on the speed of the Conqueror to attack aggressively, and with the Aim True rulesets, there will be no punches, it means that all my monsters may die at the beginning because they get an attack from the opponent before they can counterattack.

In the first position, the opponent uses Grum Flameblade with Bloodlust, Void Armor, Void, and Giant Killer as tanks. The weakness of Grum Flameblade is its low speed, but with the help of buffs from Conqueror Jacek, this problem was resolved. The second position is the Legendary Souldbound monster, Ferexian Hero with the ability of Weapons Training, Reach, and Reflection Shield. The third position is Lava Launcher with 5 Damage Range equipped with Close Range ability, and Stun. A terrifying attack, especially if combined with Piercing, the attack will be difficult to handle. Then in fourth position there is Djinn Inferni with the ability of Giant Killer and Stun. This monster is also very scary, because it has 5 magic attacks. Unfortunately, this monster only has a small HP. So if you don't attack at the beginning, it might already be an easy target for the Opportunity monster, before you can gear up with its attack.

The fifth position is Runi, Opoortunity a monster who has the ability Rebirth, True Stike, and Reflection Shield. Just like Grum Flameblade, this monster also has a low speed. Even so, this monster is helped by buffs from Summoners. And in the last position there is Countess Sinash, an Opportunity monster who provides support to other friendly monsters with the ability Swiftness.

BATTLEFIELD ARENA

I've also included a youtube video of this battle that you can play right away.

This battle is very interesting because it only takes 2 rounds to determine the winner. Interesting performances took place several times, where the Trample of my monsters was active several times. What is very interesting is the moment when the Coastal Centry kills several monsters at once in 1 round.

I got a crushing victory in just 2 rounds all the opponent's monsters ran out, so I didn't lose a single monster in this battle.

CONCLUSION

The strategy I applied worked very well in this battle. I won Battle II easily, giving me an epic view where the tramples of some of my monsters were active. In other battles, if I get rulesets like this I would consider using the same strategy.
