I took my usual spot, the second fray. I managed to secure 5 Wins for the guild and had 4 Loses because I didn't know some things. Let's take a look at each of them! You can view the video version of this on Youtube or just follow the links under each image.

Let's get on to the battles, shall we?

Battle 1:
🔵 25 Mana
📜 Rule Set/s: Reverse Speed, Rise of the Commons
Splinters: Fire vs Fire
Result: Loss

Do you know what made me lose this battle? I wasn't reading well. I thought the Bloodlust effect could speed Wallstop up and since this was a Reverse Speed match, I hesitated on picking him. Also note that that my Tenyii Striker and Scavo Hireling were in the wrong position. But then again, even if I did that, I'd still lose because FullCoverBetting is using Wallstop.

Battle 2:
🔵 23 Mana
📜 Rule Set/s: Back to Basics, Rise of the Commons
Splinters: Death vs Death
Result: Loss

This was a miscalculation. The Windeku was obviously a better option as a frontliner and the Dhampir Stalker wasn't really needed for this battle. I guess I wass really thrown off by the first match!

Battle 3:
🔵 46 Mana
📜 Rule Set/s: Target Practice, Earthquake
Splinters: Earth vs Earth
Result: Loss

Now that I look at it, I wonder if I could've had a chance if I used a Scavo Hireling and a Regal Peryton in here. I must've thought I was clever enough with the Quora but that Queen Mycelia sure had me crying...

Battle 4:
🔵 24 Mana
📜 Rule Set/s: Holy Protection, Noxious Fumes
Splinters: Earth vs Earth
Result: Win

This is one of the rule sets where Quora shines - well more like cards with Heal, but for this matter, let's give her the spotlight! Along with Quora, having the Mycelic Slipspawn to taunt any sneaky, opportunistic folks is handy. The Morphoid and the Fiend here are just there to fill some holes.

Battle 5:
🔵 14 Mana
📜 Rule Set/s: Healed Out, Spreading Fury
Splinters: Earth vs Water
Result: Win

I found this match funny as it was both disgusting and entertaining to watch. Letting Quora run a one woman show was very tempting but I threw my Fungus Fiend in there just in case it could save my ass.

Battle 6:
🔵 17 Mana
📜 Rule Set/s: Unprotected, Explosive Weaponry
Splinters: Earth vs Water
Result: Win

Again, Quora is good enough to handle the pressure of facing 4 enemies as long as she can heal herself!

Battle 7:
🔵 34 Mana
📜 Rule Set/s: Earthquake, Reverse Speed
Splinters: Earth vs Earth
Result: Loss

What's a good way to counter Quora? Someone with Affliction. I wasn't expecting to bump into any of these Doctor Blights but hey, Tier 2. Pius82 has a clear advantage over here as they have the Slipspawn on too.

Battle 8:
🔵 32 Mana
📜 Rule Set/s: Earthquake
Splinters: Earth vs Earth
Result: Loss

Queen Mycelia is definitely a royalty here. The extra shields she provided to her team helped them live through the earthquakes and Grund dished out the damage needed.

Battle 9:
🔵 20 Mana
📜 Rule Set/s: Close Range, Keep Your Distance
Splinters: Death vs Life
Result: Win

I recently realized that the Death splinter has nice ranged damage dealers. The Riftwing also has a nice amount of HP and with the Scavenger ability, it could survive a bit longer than these Light enemies. Whistling Damon is also great for battles with low mana caps. This was a good run.

With another 1,500 Merits in my pocket, I bought 2 Gladius Cases. Of course I opened them and look at these! I got my first Xulax Nightwind and a rare Relenor Cleaver among everything else.

Hope you've learned something from this Brawl Log just as how I have had a few realizations as well. If you have any suggestions and tips, I'd love to hear them too!

Thanks for stopping by and see you next brawl!
