Splinterlands BATTLE MAGE SECRETS Weekly Challenge — ❌⚔️ KEEP YOUR DISTANCE ❌⚔️ "Victory in a single round!"

HELLO to all Splinterlands readers of my humble blog.👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻

Welcome to week 20 of the new iteration of the Splinterlands Weekly Challenges (at least, if I haven't miscounted so far, yet. 😜). For any old Hivers/Splinterland players who've just come back and are confused, fret not! Even with the name and format tweaks, right at it's core, battles are still the foundation of these posts.

In this week's edition of Battle Mage Secrets... Dear Passengers, please stand behind the yellow line. 😜 Well, at least that's the first thing which comes to mind when I think about this ruleset. It isn't quite as similar as what it does in game though. 🤣

No matter! I present to you the ruleset — KEEP YOUR DISTANCE ❌⚔️

The game's description of KEEP YOUR DISTANCE is as follows: "Units with melee attacks may not be used in battles."

This is a ruleset which removes an entire class of units from the game. Any unit with a melee attack will automatically not be available for selection. This means dual attack units with melee are also restricted, as are units which do not have any attacks at lower levels but gain melee attacks as they level up.

This also means one needs to have a good variety of cards in order not to be caught blindsided by this ruleset. If you've always focused only one certain attacks only, you will be in for a shock when almost nothing is available to you! 😱

That said, this also means anything units which buff/debuff melee are effectively pointless here too. So do pay attention to your choice of cards when setting up your team for battle.
