BATTLE MAGE SECRETS Weekly Challenge: BLAST BLAST BLAST

Greetings summoners!

I finally decided to participate in Splinterlands weekly challenge(s) and share some cool battles with you.

This week is all about blasting your foes as highlighted ruleset is: Explosive Weaponry. All units gain the Blast ability. Which just means that their attacks hit monster(s)/card(s) adjacted to the main target too; but only for 1/2 damage, rounded up thankfully. 😈

MY HUMBLE EXAMPLE OF A BATTLE:

We are in Diamond (modern league).
We have 28 mana to work with.
Rules are as follows: + 2 🛡, no magic monsters and highlighted explosive weaponry
Most splinters are open.
Fire could work, but mana is too low for Jacek play.🙁
Death seems too slow. 😣
Earth is just meh without magic. 🙃
Water always works. 👍

WHY? WHY? WHY?

• 

Baakjira in 1st position. Just look at that stats ... one of the craziest tanks in game. It has slow ability too, which always helps in explosive weaponry - you want to blast them first! 😈

• 
  In 2nd Tide biter. His second ability - reflection shield makes him immune to blast damage, obvious choice to complement frontline in Baakjira.
• 
  3rd comes Deeplurker his opportunity providing good chance of blast hit on 1+2 targets.
• 
  Gold (so beautiful) Pelacor Bandit in the 4th position in a way working as a core of my team. Attacking first and hopefully receiving benefits from martyr card positioned next to him.
• 
  Selfless rat also (rarely) known as Venari Marksrat comes 5th. As mentioned, its job is to block blast damage for Pelacor Bandit and die😇 providing him with + all stats due to martyr ability.
• 
  Lastly, in 6th Uraeus. Cheap when it comes to mana, doing similar job as Pelacor Bandit, but at the same time being more dispensable - protecting while attacking. 😈

HOW? HOW? HOW?

Here is how: Battle link

We both chose similar teams with biggest difference beining frontline and martyry vs no-martyry. So, lets focus on that while we glance over clutch moments.

At the start of 2nd round my **Venari Marksrat** sadly passed away 😵 - **activating martyry** on both Pelacor Bandit and Uraeus, refreshing their shields in the process.

In previous round(s) we managed to thin their defenses ...
+ Due to higher speed, we attacked first in 3rd.
= Clear victory 😍

Final blow ... almost. 😅

Conclusion:

Veni, vidi, vici? 😎
Use Venari Marksrat more often?🤓
Use reflection shield when they wanna blast your a**. 🤗
Baakjira does NOT die. 😌
Speed is the key. ♿️
I`m gonna upvote that post. 😈
