Hello, Splinters, I'm Lagnarok, Welcome to my Splinterlands Weekly Social Media Challenge. In Today's article, I want to share again about the Epic battle between my enemy and me, and I found this battle really worth enough to share with you guys. The Battle started with a wide variety of Splinter choices while mana was limited, and the Summoner itself could not do anything because the Splinterlands God didn't allow it.

Tale of Xia Seachan

Of all the water-breathing summoners of ΛZMΛRÉ, Xia Seachan is the least predictable. She grew up an orphan Mer-child, forced to make it on her own in the wilds of the Dark Water. Xia wishes to make a lasting impact on the world, no matter how much chaos she must spread in the process.

The Battle of Talentless

This Epic battle happened in Wild Format Silver League within the Ranked Battle match. The battle details are Silenced Summoners and Close Range rulesets with only 15 mana caps allocation, with relatively many splinters available: Fire, Water, Death, and Dragon. With these battle detail, I decided to choose Water as my Splinter.

I have chosen Xia Seachan the "Talentless Summoner" this time, and I believe at this moment, in this battle, Xia Seachan, the "Talentless summoner," will outshine her peers.

Battle Preparation & Strategies

Card	Ability	Plan
	No Ability	Xia Seachan is an Epic summoner from the Beta expansion pack. I decided to choose this Epic summoner who has no ability or talent because of Silenced Summoners Ruleset and only consumes 2 mana, it would be a waste of Mana allocation if I use another summoner since Silenced Summoners ruleset will drag it to the mud, This time The "Talentless Summoner" will be shining so brightly.
	No Ability	Torrent Fiend is a Legendary monster from the Chaos Legion expansion pack. I decided to put this Torrent Fiend in the first position for the purpose of sacrificing this monster as cannon fodder. I really like this Torrent Fiend because there is no extra mana to use it,
	No Ability	Cruel Sethropod is a Common monster from the Chaos Legion expansion pack. Cruel Sethropod is a very nice tank for a low mana caps battle, especially for Water Splinter. With decent Hit points and Armor to kill this Cruel Sethropod, they would need to put in an extra effort.
	Slow	Creeping Ooze is a Common monster from the Reward series. With Creeping Ooze here, the Enemy speed will be downgraded; thus, my lineup has a greater chance to start the battle first.
	Sneak	Sabre Shark is a Common monster from the Beta expansion pack. Even without no extra buff from the summoner, this Sabre Shark is already equipped with decent damage and speed and with the Sneak ability, this Sabre Shark from the back will bite the enemy.
	Flying, Sneak	Pelacor Bandit is a Common monster from the Reward series with a very low mana caps battle. I decided to use this Pelacor Bandit instead ranged-type monster. With 4 speed and flying ability, this Bandit should be agile enough to avoid IF the enemy decided to use Sneak Meta like me.
	Sneak	Uraeus is an Epic monster from the Reward series. Uraeus is another piece of key from my strategies; instead of using Elven Cutthroat, who has more speed than Uraeus, I decided to use this Uraeus because this Epic monster has 1 armour protecting it, with this Armor present. At least The enemy would need another attack to kill this Uraeus. With Uraeus protecting me at the back, I feel safe.

The Match Detail

A single piece of Image and Video is worth more than ten thousand words.

Did my Strategy Works?

Fortunately, my strategy works perfectly, I have learned my share from my last fight with nearly the same rulesets, and I'm not panicking anymore like before as old says "1 match is worth than reading ten thousand of books", I have become more experienced than before.

With Silenced Summoners and Limited Mana Caps allocation, I decided to use Sneak Meta instead of Ranged-type Meta since most people will put ranged-type or magic-type monsters on the back, I thought I should clean the enemy's from the back instead of frontal.
