Splinterlands: Failing my first Pit Challenge and finishing the 3rd Battle Challenge

A while ago, I talked about how 1 month of Lux's Favor went here. After 3 weeks, I was able to get my 3rd battle challenge, and it includes a Pit Challenge. Apparently, this is different from the normal challenge. You can challenge a fighter once for an extra bonus of sparks, but you only have one chance. Unfortunately, I failed the challenge, but I was confused and rushed things at the end. Hopefully this helps people understand how it works.
Pit Challenge

You are given a choice of three different things to fight. I decided to go with the hardest, but I didn't understand what it entailed. Essentially, you are fighting just one mob. This mob has stats and abilities.

You can see an example of the fight above. I failed because I didn't realize that there was magic reflect on the monster, and the retaliation made melee monsters less effective. I should have gone with a ranged lineup to deal damage, as that wouldn't have any counter damage. Having a monster up front with dodge would have been more effective to keep my ranged monsters alive.
Battle Challenge 3

I did finish my 3rd challenge, but forgot to keep track of the description. It was a fight where all monsters gained the void and shield abilities. I went with a water magic lineup, and that was able to wipe out my enemy without any issues.
Conclusion
It's interesting to see that there are still things that I don't know about in Lux's Favor. I think the battle challenges are interesting, and I was just confused about what the fight was about. I misread the abilities and went with a bad lineup. I'll do better next time as I will understand what to do next time.
What do you think of this?

I had same experience. I lost as well.And another thing is that,the pit challenge is different from battle challenge. I am waiting for another chance from the Valor Wheel to fight again. Lastly,I have seen some users defeating the pit monsters,and they used magic monsters all through. Kudos.
Ah, I didn't realize they were different, but I guess I missed the spin when I got the battle challenge. At least I'll be more prepared next time for those pit challenges.
They are very different.The battle challenge are just like the frontier ranked battles. Why the pit challenge is one monster against your entire deck collection in the battlefield.
