Splinterlands battle mage secret: Armored up

Hello Splinter Nerds

This week's Splinterlands battle mage secret is Armored up

It is a rule set in which all monsters gain additional +2 armor apart from their normal armor stat, this rule set is a hindrance for melee and range attacks but has nothing against magic monsters unless the opponent uses monsters with special abilities that affect magic monsters.

We we given 2 other rules, Are you not Entertained & Equalizer, the first one allows the usage of one gladiator card in the battle while equalizer means all the monsters have the same health as the monster that has the highest health in either team

Based on the ruleset, I came with magic monsters as my attackers and used Lily Shieldpaw summoner so the opponent attacks could be directed to my tank[first monster in my team] which happened to be a monster with void and phase ability and hard for magic monsters to eliminate.

I made a silly mistake during the team selection and it was only after the battle was on that I saw my mistake glaring at me, glad I won the battle, so what was the mistake?

I am so addicted to this card and that is because of the weapon training ability it has, so I like to put it in between nonattack monsters.

Aside the weapon training, this monster also have swift ability which helps to boost the team speed by +1 and there is the triage ability too but it was not needed in the battle as the tank received all the hit.

In this battle, I was thinking of Merdaali Guardian only and I totally forgot that Baakjira could also benefit from its power, all I was thinking was using Baakjira as a defense so my team wouldn't be vulnerable once Djinn Oshannus the tank got eliminated.

The 3 magic power Baakjira missed could have been useful in taking down the opponent team faster but even though the victory was delayed, I won!

It was a flawless victory as the opponent was unable to eliminate my tank, I used two healers but one thing I noticed was that the opponent was also weapon training addict like me, he used 2 weapon training monsters and you can see the result on the screenshot shared above.

His Pelacor Conjurer was boosted by the two monsters with weapon training beside it, one gave it magic and the other gave it range.

It was an epic battle.
