Hello guys, welcome again to my Splinterlands post. This is my last entry this week about Equal Opportunity ruleset. I already talked alot about this ruleset on my first, so in this round I will focus on the additional approach here... Which is a negate of those opportunity, which is the Sneak Attack!!!

As you can see on the thumb pic above, I have two small monsters I often employ them in my team during small mana. They are Uraeus and Stitch Leech

These two are a good pair of sneak attackers. Their attack damage are similar, their defense a bit the same, and both have 3 mana requirement. Both are not the best for Equal Opportunity ruleset, however under certain condition, they can be a great solution for this ruleset...

What certain condition? well, lets see the battle then.

THE BATTLE PREPARATION

These rulesets represented the condition I am talking about.

A small mana battle. In this one, we only had 22 mana available. So this made us under big strain if we brought big mana units, because it would force us to bring 1-2 mana only units.

This was one of the case where I believe those two sneak attackers could excell. The another case was the unprotected ruleset, which made units who gave armors would be obsolete. I had no worry from Queen Mycelia because her protect ability would not work in this battle.

So here was what happened next

THE BATTLE PROGRESS

This was supposed to be a tough battle for me, because my opponent came with higher level cap than me. My was at max bronze cap level and they were at max silver cap level.

It was a BRAWL battle and we were fighting on the Silver Gold Foil fray, thats why you could see all of the units were blink-blink... Gold Foiled.

I gambled everything with using melee only line up. It would be a fix lose if somehow my opponent came with Mylor. But luck was on my side, it was not and I believe my opponent summoner was picked due to 4 level only because his ability was useless due to unprotected ruleset.

I saw 1 mana unit Brownie and 2 mana units Khmer Princess there. They were not fit on this ruleset, who wanted to heal the tanks when the backline was the ones who got bombarded. Brownie was good but he would get killed first. I believed that the cost they had to pay for employing two mid size units, Flesh Golem and Katrelba Gobson.

• The battle started with both of us buffing up our team and debuffing our opponents.
• My opponent came with 6 melee damge, and 1 range damage. It's a combined 7 damage per round with an extra 2 melee damage from Katrelba Gobson double strike ability.
• My team had 17 melee damage per round. Silvershield Knight inspire ability played great part here.
• The big concern was the speed my opponent had. they were faster than me.

• Things changed drastically on the start of second round. It was a 4 vs 5 condition and their Katrelba Gobson was almost dead... and died as soon as possible from Silvershield Knight attacks.
• With Brownie gone and Katrelba Gobson gone, their lineup started to crumble.

• Now it turned to be 1 vs 4. Flesh Golem was very tough, but alone vs 4 units? Although he could heal himself, but this round was the end for this battle.

• Good Game

CLOSURE AND DISCUSSION

The battle supposed to be a tight one however it turned to be a fast 3 rounds brawl. The problem was Uraeus and Stitch Leech canceled their Martyr Meta.

You know, when two units have the same health point, the one who get hit first is the front one. In this case, I should have hit the Mushroom Dude (fungus flinger) first then the fungus dies and buffs up the Katrelba Gobson.

However Stitch Leech denied that rule and my leech hit the gobson first. This was the game changer in this battle, which canceled their main strategy and all were crumbled at that time.

If I did not use sneak, their martyr would die and made Katrelba Gobson having 3x2 melee damage and 4 speed... and each time she killed someone, she got buffed up too. It would be 50:50 chance for both side to win this battle.

However my gambling on taking two sneak attackers was paid well... I won easily in this battle... Do you know what was my second gamble? Its not to bring any Gladius units in this brawl battle.... because I could not find how they could mix in well with this amount of mana cap.

Ok that's all for today, I hope we all having a great BRAWL next season!!!
