The rules I got for this battle are 3, namely: 1.Stampede. 2.What Doesn't Kill You. 3.Close Range. ( 1.Stampede: the trample ability can trigger multiple times per attack if the trampled monster is killed. 2.What Doesn't Kill You: All monsters have the Enrage ability. and this is the essence of the rules that I entered into this battle in the Splinterlands challenge. 3.Close Range: Ranged attacks may be used in the first position in battles. )

card image	ability	explanation
KELYA FRENDUL	This summoner has the ability: All friendly monsters have +1 armor. and all friendly monsters have +1 speed.	hello, in this battle my choice of summoner is KEYLA FRENDUL. This is a summoner from the water element who is one of my favorite summoners. the reason I chose him in battle this time was the abilities he had and the mana costs I could use to summon him in battle. he is a summoner with a standard mana cost for a summoner for me. The 4 mana costs he has are my choice and the abilities I explain below are the reasons I chose him over other summoners with active elements in battle this time. straight away, here are the monster cards that I used in this battle.

TORRENT FIEND	monster card it has the ability: 1.headwinds and 2.Enrage in this battle.	Continue to my second monster card, TORRENT FIEND. he is a legendary monster card with 0 mana cost in the water element. Using him is a must because this time I can't be too wasteful with mana costs. Not that, I think he has abilities that I think are very helpful for this battle. I am sure that later my enemy will use several cards with range attacks. he has the ability to counter that with his Headwinds ability. It's very profitable and even though he can't attack in this second position, his ability will be quite helpful in my battle this time.
URAEUS	This monster card has the abilities: 1.sneak, 2.poison, and 3.Enrage in this battle.	For the third monster card in this battle, I chose URAEUS. this is a monster card with a neutral element. I chose him because of his small mana cost but has quite useful abilities like poison etc. In my strategy this time, the 2-way attack option was the main idea in my head. This time I will use 2 monster cards that have the same sneak ability as he has. the reason I chose him was that I wanted to finish off my opponent's monster cards from behind. where I think it is quite effective and I also hope that its poison ability can quickly hit my enemy in this battle.
BANDIT SLUT	This monster card has the abilities: 1.sneak , 2.flying, and 3,Enrage in this battle.	The fourth monster card in this battle I chose BANDIT SLUT. This is a monster card with the water element which I will combine with the sneak ability it has with the previous monster card. he is a very fast monster card with the stats he has. Plus he will get additional speed from my summoner this time. the reason I chose him in this battle was, I wanted him to be able to attack my opponent first. by attacking first I can get ahead of the enemy and I have a high probability of victory to defeat my opponent. quite confused about using him in the middle or end position to avoid my enemy's attacks. but I decided that putting him in the middle position was my thought this time.
ANGELIC MANDARIN	This monster card has the ability: 1.Triage , 2.Silence, and 3.Enrage in this battle.	The fifth monster card that I chose in this battle is ANGELIC MANDARIN. he is a monster card with a ranged attack that I use in the water element. the reason I chose him in this battle was the ability he has which I mentioned beside and it only costs 3 mana to choose him. he is one of the monster cards with a low mana cost but can gain quite valuable abilities such as triage to protect the health of the monster cards on the back. I really need him to be able to extend my strategy to survive attacks from my enemies who use attacks from behind or the sneak abilities they use.
IGOR DARKSPEAR	monster card This has the ability: 1.stun , and 2.Enrage in this battle.	and this is the last monster card I chose in this battle. The remaining mana cost is only 2 and I chose IGOR DARKSPEAR to join my battle this time. he is a monster card that has a low cost of course and has a fairly reliable ability, namely stun. with this ability I can withstand attacks from my enemies that hit him. I think he is a fairly valuable monster card and I can use him in battle at low cost using the water element in every fight against my enemy. I hope the stun he has can hit my opponent's monster card as soon as possible.

final

and finally I won.

talking about my strategy in this battle against the enemy is that I have to be economical with mana costs because the current rules only get 18 manacaps which is quite a bit in the usual battle rules. My choice of summoner this time is the water element. The reason I chose him was the monster cards in this element. I have quite a lot of monster cards with cheap mana costs, but in terms of the stats and abilities they have, I think they are quite capable. I saw my opponent's strategy this time also using this summoner. But there is a difference in our strategy this time. In my opinion, I was able to win the battle because I was able to place the monster cards more precisely than my enemy this time. We each chose cards with 3 attack ranges and tanks were the most striking difference in this battle. I was right to choose CRUEL SETHROPOD as a tank. because he has armor and health at his disposal. one of the reasons for my victory in this battle was the stats he had. I saw the enemy's strategy this time expecting me to miss attacking their tank. I'm fighting the same scholarship account this time. Look at the first round as usual which you can see above and the striking victory for me this time was in the 4th round. I was very optimistic about winning and finally I was able to win the battle this time with the 6 rounds that we took.

I won and got +27 points and +7.3 sps in this battle
that's my suggestion. Use the strategy that you think is best and don't forget to have fun.
