Magic Reflect? I don't care! / Eu não ligo! (Splinterlands Battle Mage Secrets: Counterspell) [eng/pt]

Translated by chatGPT and adjusted by me. Original logo abaixo.

Greetings, consecrated ones! We're here in action, with another Battle Mage Secrets.
This week's rule is one of those fun ones, allowing for some interesting strategies, and I intend to show two of them to you:

RULESET: Counterspell
Description: All units receive the magic reflect ability at the start of the battle. Enemy units that attack with magic receive damage back. Damage returned is equal to the damage of the attacker divided by 2, rounded up. Magic units with the reflection shield ability do not take damage from reflected magic attacks. The amplify ability increases damage.

The first strategy I bring to you is precisely the use of Void to avoid damage, and Mimosa Nightshade, a legendary summoner of Death, is going to lead this battle:

Unfortunately, Mimosa will be leading the enemy team in this match 😥:

My xbot said "screw it" to Magic Reflect and sent Skok Duskblight training Riftwing and Will-O-Wisp with 2 magic damage, along with Cursed Windeku on the frontline and, in the backline, Ravenwood Warden (one of my favorite Death cards) and Chaos Lackey, a new card from Rebellion, right?

@djoesch comes with Harklaw, Aracne Thug, Furious Chicken 👀, Revealer, Venari Bonesmith and Cursed Windeku in the backline.

Activated Abilities

Thadduis Brood will take 1 health from enemy monsters, Ravenhood will give 2 armor to my monsters, Mimosa will poison them, and give Void to hers.

What we'll see more of are situations like the detail below: Enemy monsters taking zero damage on the Reflect Shield, while mine will suffer the effects of the rule.

Round 3

My Cursed Windeku has already fallen, and the opponent's Harklaw will fall at the beginning of round 3.

Round 4

We start round 4 with an apparent advantage, but the Void and Mimosa's poisons will be crucial for - ⚠️spoiler alert - the opponent's victory.

Round 5

Looking at this screen, would you think we'd be defeated? It's 3 against 2. The problem is Venari Bonesmith increasing its Health with Life Leech.

Final Rounds

Round 6 was a straightforward exchange, with no casualties. At the beginning of 7, it seems like Venari will fall, but no... He finishes the game more alive than before, and we only have the ranged ones to attack, which will die poisoned. It was a "comeback" victory, I'd say...

And that was my first Mage Pablito's Secrets of the week: Mimosa Nightshade is extremely powerful and doesn't care about Magic Reflect with her Void!

In the next post, a classic strategy against Magic Reflect, in a battle where we came out victorious.
Don't miss it!

Salve consagrado! Tâmo aí na atividade, com mais um Battle Mage Secrets.
A regra dessa semana é daquelas divertidas, permitindo algumas estratégias interessantes, e pretendo mostrar duas delas pra vocês:

RULESET: Counterspell
Description:All units receive the magic reflect ability at the start of the battle. Enemy units that attack with magic receive damage back.
Damage returned is equal to the damage of the attacker divided by 2, rounded up.
Magic units with the reflection shield ability do not take damage from reflected magic attacks.
The amplify ability increases damage.

A primeira estratégia que trago pra vocês é, justamente, o uso de Void pra evitar o dano, e Mimosa Nightshade, summoner lendária de Death, é quem vai liderar essa batalha:

Infelizmente, Mimosa vai estar liderando o time inimigo nesta partida 😥:

Meu xbot ligou o "dane-se" pra Magic Reflect e meteu Skok Duskblight treinando Riftwing e Will-O-Wisp com 2 de dano mágico, além de Cursed Windeku na frontline e, na backline, Ravenwood Warden (uma das minhas cartas preferidas de Death) e Chaos Lackey, carta nova de Rebellion, né?

@djoesch vem de Harklaw, Aracne Thug, Furious Chicken 👀, dois mágicos (Revealer e Venari Bonesmith) e Cursed Windeku na backline.

habilidades ativadas

Thadduis Brood vai tirar 1 de Saúde dos monstros inimigos, Ravenhood vai dar 2 de Armadura pros meus monstros, Mimosa vai envenená-los, e dar Void pros seus.

O que mais vamos ver será situações como o detalhe abaixo: Monstros adversários tomando zero de dano no Reflect Shield, enquanto os meus vão ´sofrer os efeitos da regra.

round 3

Meu Crused Windeku já caiu, e o Harklaw adversário vai cair no início do round 3.

round 4

Começamos o round 4 em aparente vantagem, mas o Void e os envenenamentos da Mimosa vão ser cruciais para a vitória adversária.

round 5

Olhando pra essa tela, você acharia que seríamos derrotados? São 3 contra 2. O problema é Venari Bonesmith aumentando sua Saúde com seu Life Leech.

rounds finais

O round 6 foi trocação franca, sem baixas. No início do 7, parece que o Venari vai cair, só que não... Ele termina o jogo mais vivo do que antes, e nós só temos os ranged pra atacar, que morrerão envenenados. Foi uma vitória "de virada", eu diria...

Assista a partida completa pra ver os efeitos de Void e Poison atuando: https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=sl_b33f7386c7116639d374e296bdeb31e0&ref=pablito.saldo

E este foi o meu primeiro Segredos do Mago Pablito da semana: Mimosa Nightshade é poderosíssima e não dá bola pra Magic Reflect com seu Void!
