BATTLE MAGE SECRETS ✶ COUNTERSPELL

The ruleset for this week's challenge

• Counterspell - All units receive the magic reflect ability at the start of the battle

The ruleset that I managed to get

• Rulesets - Explosive Weaponry & Counterspell
• Mana Cap - 20
• Active Elements -

Here's my starting lineup

Summoner: Contessa L'ament

• With this ruleset I believed that my enemy would play either melee or ranged so Contessa L'ament was somewhat counter pick
• I also didn't really have any other summoners that would suit in this ruleset

1st Position: Harklaw

• Harklaw was my main tank for this battle
• Main reason I like Harklaw here a lot is hes Shield ability
• Shield - Reduced damage from melee and ranged attacks
• Immunity - This Unit is immune to negative status effects

2rd Position: Venari Marksrat

• Because Explosive Weaponry was active Venari Marksrat was perfect 2nd position monster
• The only reason for him was to get killed and buff 1st and 3rd position monsters
• Martyr - When this Unit dies, adjacent Units get +1 to all stats

3nd Position: Uraeus

• Love this card so much because of how many stats you get for low mana
• For 3 mana you get 2 melee damage (with Sneak), 2 speed, 1 armor and 2 hp
• Sneak - Targets the last unit on the enemy Team instead of the first unit

4th Position: Haunted Spider

• I picked Haunted Spider for two reasons
• First because of hes great stats + the low mana cost
• And the second reason was hes Poison ability
• Poison - Attacks have a chance to apply poison, which does automatic damage to the target at the beginning of each round after the poison is applied

5th Position: Corpse Fiend

• Next up in line is first lovely 0 mana card
• Nothing to say here other than why not play him if you have room for him he costs 0 mana

6th Position: Furious Chicken

• And for last but not least is another 0 mana cost monster
• The same applies as the last one
• they both serve a role as backline tanks

Starting board

• The starting board didn't really say anything about how the battle might end
• It seemed quite even so lets start the battle up and have a look

Here's how the battle went

1st Round

• After 1st Round my plan had worked
• My Venari Marksrat died and buffed my team
• Also I already managed to kill one of my enemies monsters and now all the Blast damage was going to hit his damage dealers

2nd Round

• 2nd Round was so big for me
• My Ureaus managed to out speed my enemies Cursed Windeku and got two kills with one attack
• And also I managed to deal a lot of damage to his Cursed Windeku and also poison him so was basically dead after 2nd Round
• This was also the round where I became 100% sure that I would win this battle

3rd Round

• In the 3rd Round my enemies Cursed Windeku finally died and now it was just down to defeating the last standing monsters
• I also managed to poison his last standing monster not that it would matter because the last monster was ranged damage and couldn't attack anyway

4th Round

• It took me 2 turns to kill my enemies last standing monster
• After hes Ravenhood Warden had fallen I took the victory
• Battle Replay Link

Summary

• This battle was definitely heavily one sided but still fun to watch
• I believe the strategy to take away from this battle is the Martyr ability in the 2nd position when Explosive Weaponry is active
• If you also would like to hop on the Splinterlands train feel free to use my Referral
