(Edited)


Hello everyone, if I am not mistaken tomorrow I think we start to see the Rebellion Card in battle, Yodin and Kitty will be gone 😀, hate to fight those two, when battle using my scholar account, very excited to see what new strategy we will develop in battle. Today will make a post again about the Splinterlands contest Battle Mage Secrets Challenge. This Week's Theme is about Up to Eleven ruleset.

I play in the modern format, Diamond League, using my scholar account from Balthazar.

Ruleset

  • Melee mayhem.png
    Melee Mayhem, A melee monster can attack from any position, it will attack the monster in the first position.
  • Up to Eleven, every monsters have Amplify ability.
    • Amplify ability, Increases Magic Reflect, Return Fire, and Thorns damage to all enemy monsters by +1.
  • firefox_pT5EI0OBsC.png Reverse Speed, Monsters with the lowest speed attack first and have higher chance to evade the attacks, and hit the enemy.
  • mana cap.
  • can use Water, Life, and Death element.

My Lineup and strategy

  • With Ruleset Up to Eleven and Melee Mayhem we prefer to focus more on the Melee Mayhem ruleset because in Life element we have a great melee monster who has so much damage that is so dangerous that we can ignore/prefer another ruleset for use this monster, that was I know at least before the Rebellion Card come out.
  • For Reverse Speed, we just make sure not to bring monsters/summoners who have abilities or buffs that can increase an ally's speed (Swiftness) or decrease the enemy's speed (Slow).

This is my lineup :

Summoner or monsterAbilitiesDescription
image.pngGeneral Sloan, Summoner. Can increase all friendly range monster damage by 1We used this Life summoner because we only have this summoner which don't buff/debuff any monster speed with the smallest mana.
image.pngPelacor Conjurer, 1st position, Tanker. Has the ability Flying, Magic Reflect, Divine Shield, and Phase.With this monster ability Magic Reflect we can reflect magic attacks to the enemy. The Flying ability can increase the chance to dodge enemy ranged attacks by 25%. This monster can evade the enemy's magic attack because has the ability Phase. The first time this monster receives an attack will Ignore the damage (Divine Shield ability). We put it in the first position because with high speed can handle all kinds of attacks, he can evade, melee, range, and magic attacks with good HP only cost 2 mana. The weakness of this monster is can't attack
image.pngVulguine, 2nd position, attacker. Has the ability Scavenger, Dodge, and EnragePlaced in 2nd position to be a tanker for our main attacker behind, with Scavenger ability this monster can increase the HP every time any monster dies. Dodge is like a Flying ability can increase the chance to evade the enemy melee and range monster by 25%, hope can evade several attack from the enemy monster before die. With Enrage's ability when this monster's HP decreases will increase the damage and speed. Because of the ruleset Melee Mayhem, this monster can attack from this position.
image.pngJared Scar, 3rd position, attacker. Has Bloodlust, True Aim, and Piercing AbilitiesThis is our main attacker, put in this 3rd position to protect it from the front and back attack, to give it the time to kill the enemy so Bloodlust (every time this monster kill enemy monsters all stats will increase) can be activated. This monster can't miss with the True Aim Ability, And the Piercing ability makes this monster more dangerous every time it attack after destroying the armor the left damage will hit the HP.
Chaos Agent, 4th Position, Tanker, has ability Dodge, Phase, and BackfirePlaced in the 4th position because it has the Dodge ability it increases the chance of avoiding enemy attacks by 25%, ability Backfire makes every attack successfully avoided by this monster the damage reflect to the enemy and deals 2 damage, Phase ability same like Pelacor Conjurer make this monster can evade the magic attack. Put it here to protect our Jared Scar from the attack behind (Sneak ability)
7.pngGargoya Scrapper, 5th position, Attacker and tanker, has Void abilitySame as Chaos Agent as a tanker against the enemy monster who has Sneak ability (if they bring it) it has 1 mana cost and can attack. Void ability decreases the damage of magic attack by half, but I think this battle will be useless, cause magic attacks usually attack monsters in the first position.

The Battle

  • Round 1 :
    After Buff and Debuff we can see that the enemy has increase speed because of the Summoner. They put the tanker Evelyn Aurera who has Thorns ability (everytime the melee damage attack this monster will give damage +2) and with the ruleset Up to Eleven will give extra damage +1 with the total damage of +3. in low mana +3 damage is good.
    Our Jared Scar attack first due to have the lowest speed hit the enemy Evelyn and give 7 damage but destroy our armor because of the Thorns effect. Then Gargoya Scrapper attack the enemy Evelyn and die because of the Thorns effect. Our Vulguine attack too got Thorns effect left with 2 HP but got damage and speed buff because of the Enrage ability, this make this monster speed become slowest in this battle. The enemy Jared Scar attack our Pelacor Conjurer but because of Divine Shield not give any damage.

  • Round 2 :
    Our Jared Scard with the lowest speed attack the enemy monster Evelyn killed it got Thorns damage and activated the Bloodlust ability. The enemy Jared Scar attacked our Pelacor Conjurer but can't kill it.
  • Round 3 :
    At this round the enemy Jared Scar attack first and killed our Pelacor Conjurer got buff from Bloodlust ability. Attack by our Jared Scar with 8 damage destroying the enemy Jared Scar 4 armor and hit 4 HP left it with 4 HP. Then the attack from our Vulguine kill the enemy Jared Scar and the victory become ours.

Did your Strategy Work?

Our strategy went well even though the enemy optimized the use of the Up to Eleven ruleset but Jared Scar's damage and abilities were too strong so we could beat him. For battles with low mana and we can use Jared Scar to attack from any position it is better to focus on using Jared Scar and forget about the Amplify ruleset.

Summary : the best use of Jared Scar is in low mana (maybe 17-25 mana cost), Reverse Speed ruleset and Melee Mayhem or Equal Opportunity (attacking monsters with the smallest HP), conditions where Jared Scar can attack from any position. Think this for the first option before using any other option.
