Hello again, my coffee loving friends. It's been a while. I've been focused on a group project this last 2 weeks and unable to touch the hive part of my Splinterlands account. I was only able to play a few games per day though due to the internal problems of our group in school.

The good thing is that's out of the way now and my schedule is back to normal. I managed to stumble a weird interaction in Up Close and Personal so I wanted to use it in this week's post.

STRATEGY

---

Pick high health high damage melee units. You can also use units with dual attacks like War Chaang as long as they have a melee attack. They can use both of their attacks if able.

Even though all the abilities are unusable due to Back to Basics, it doesn't mean the attacks are. Since War Chaang also has melee attack, it can be used in this this battle.

Up Close and Personal only limits the picking phase, and not affects the actual battle. That is why War Chaang can still attack using range attacks during this battle.

CARD POSITIONING

---

In this battle, I used the summoner, Mother Khala, and units, Drybone Barbarian, Gargoya Scrapper and War Chaang .

---

Quick Stats

---

Level 1: Rare Summoner. Allows level 1 common, level 1 rare, level 1 epic and level 1 legendary. +1 Health: All friendly Units have increased Health.

	No abilities in this battle due to Back to Basics rule set.
1. Level 1: Drybone Barbarian has high health and boosts 4 melee damage. He is perfect for this battle.	2. Level 1: I have an extra 1 mana so I put Gargoya Scrapper in. It's better than nothing.	3. Level 1: War Chaang can still use his range attack so he is placed at the back.
