Splinterlands Weekly Challenge - Broken Arrows Ruleset
Hello everyone, I'm back with a new post for the Splinterlands Weekly Challenge.
The topic of the week is the Broken Arrows ruleset, let's get into it:
| Broken Arrows: |
|---|
| Ranged attack Monsters may not be used in battles. |
Only
Melee and 
Magic attack monsters can be used.Also, monsters with 2 or more attack types that include ranged attack such as
War Chaang cannot be used.You can play aggressively with summoners and/or monsters that boost your Melee or Magic monsters like
Valnamor, 
Tarsa, 
Demented Shark or 
Brownie.
Also
Silence, 
Demoralize, 
Magic Reflect or 
Thorns abilities to counter melee or magic attacks would be great.Playing monsters with
Shield/ 
Void abilities reduces the damage of enemies' Melee/ Magic attacks.
This battle the following rulesets are active:
 Broken Arrows |  Counterspell |  Healed Out |
| Ranged attack Monsters may not be used in battles. | All Monsters have the Magic Reflect ability. | All healing abilities are removed from Monsters and Summoners. |
Team Lineup
| Summoner | Ability | |
|---|---|---|
 | +1 Melee Attack | Daria Dragonscale. Since the Broken Arrows and Counterspell ruleset are active, I decided to play Melee monsters and the summoner Daria not only allows me to play Dragon monsters, but also all allied Melee monsters gain +1 Attack. |
| Monsters: | Abilities: | |
|---|---|---|
 | Shield | Chain Golem. On the front line, I wanted to play a monster with the Shield ability, so I chose this Golem that is excellent at resisting some attacks. |
 | Reach and Double Strike | Carnage Titan. A powerful monster capable of attacking twice per round and thanks to Daria this Titan will do 3 damage per attack, it can also attack from the second position. |
 | Sneak and Double Strike | Silvershield Assassin. Another monster in the battle with the Double Strike ability and also deals 3 damage per attack, but this time this assassin is capable of attacking the back line monsters. |
 | Flying and Opportunity | Dragon Jumper. This monster will destroy weaker enemy monsters thank to its Opportunity ability. |
 | Sneak | Dumacke Exile. This warrior only attacks once per turn but deals 4 damage, it will help the assassin ally to defeat the back line enemy monsters. |
 | Dodge | Time Meddler. In last position, I decided to play a magic monster even though the Counterspell is active, it will only deal 1 damage to it. It is also a great card to resist possible attacks from Sneak monsters, it has a 25% chance to evade melee or ranged attacks thanks to its Dodge ability. |
Battlefield

Round 4
-Marisol Contuma defeats Carnage Titan with her mighty sword gaining +1 to all stats.
-Dumacke Exile finally defeats the enemy Runi.
-Time Meddler avenged the death of my Carnage Titan by eliminating Marisol Contuma.

-My remaining 3 monsters attacked the Titan but it survived with 2 HP.
Round 6

Full Battle:
Conclusion:
Not being able to play Ranged monsters and because Counterspell is active, Magic monsters are not a good choice, making it easier to pick Melee monsters.
I really like playing aggressive strategies and this time it worked by having a lot of attack damage thanks to the Daria buff.
The enemy lineup didn't work very well, although two monsters with the Reach ability sometimes work, but they lacked attack, which allows my monsters to destroy them faster.
