Hello Everyone,

Good day everyone, Splinterlands is going to the moon with the introduction of Splintershards and the daily airdrop value is a good return as it's almost close to 0.8$ per SPS when I was writing this and yes, it may fluctuate, but the start is good.

We have a Earth splinter monster this week for the weekly challenge and the monster is Beatrix Ironhand.

Beatrix Ironhand is an epic ranged attack monster from Untamed version of monsters and it has 20 of the newest abilities introduced by Splinterlands few months ago.

Being a ranged attack monster, it can attack from first position as part of one of those 2 newly introduced abilities. let's see the details below.

The ranged attack for this monster is good as it starts with 2 attack and changes to 3 from level 2 itself and it gives a maximum of 4 ranged attack in final level i.e. level 6.

Infact, this monster is best on many aspects as it's speed too is good which is constant through out 6 levels with speed of 4.

Health is not bad too with starting at 5 and can go to a maximum of 6 from level 4 onwards.

Talking about abilities, this monster has 3 nice abilities like Close Range, Thorn and Cripple.

Close Range allows it to attack from front position in-spite of it being a ranged attack monster due to this ability.

Thorn is an old ability and we know it gets to throw thorns when a melee attack monster attack it.

Cripple is another new ability which makes it to reduce the health of the monster it attacks by 1 if the health is maximum for that monster.

As there was good mana cap of 32 for this battle and also there was Silenced Summoners ruleset, I used the monsters as mentioned below with some of the safe options.


Flesh Golem:

Being a healing monster, I felt this is the good option in this battle as it can give 3 melee attack and has good health of 9.


Kron The Undying:

I used Kron The Undying at second position to make it work as a front monster if the Flesh Golem gets removed and this is also a good one in first position in second line as it can take care of any snipe attack as well since this is also a healing monster.


Screeching Vulture:

Although my summoner denies it the chance of scavenge, I still use this in most of the battles as it checks those low health yet powerful monsters and gives advantage.

It's 4 speed makes it to attack early and being a flying monster, it can evade getting attacked by melee and ranged attack.


Beatrix Ironhand:

The theme monster, Beatrix Ironhand as we read above, is a good option and can even attack from front position.

Although don't use it much, but I will try to explore it thru these battles for challenge.


Wood Nymph:

Wood Nymph is a the tank heal monster with an option of a single magic attack and it is the only tank heal I have in Earth Splinter and will be a good choice in this lineup.


Furious Chicken:

Furious Chicken is the Zero mana cost monster and a good option to keep it at last position against any sneak attack.

Battle:

The battle went for 7 rounds inspite of Flesh Golem and Kron The Undying getting poisoned by Serpentine Mystic.

Overall, it was a good win and here I share few screenshots from the battle.

Did your strategy work? What will you try differently next time?

Yes, the usage of 2 healing monsters in Flesh Golem and Kron The Undying was a good option as it kept the other monsters from early exposure and usage of Beatrix Ironhand was good too with it's speed and ranged attack although I would have used some other monster as I am not accustomed to using it.

If I wasn't using Beatrix Ironhand, probably, I would have used Spirit Miner since it gives me 2 attack as well, but, it gives an additional speed to all friendly monsters, which would have changed the battle to get complete early.


Do you like BEATRIX IRONHAND? Why or why not?

Well, I like it for the ability of Close Range* for it's 2 attack and speed, but, as I said, haven't used it much, may be I will be exploring it more from now onwards.


Thanks and I hope you liked the way I presented this battle and if you liked it, include a message for me or may be an upvote as well for me to come up with contents like this with even more enthusiasm.
