almost 2 years ago

~ Hello all of my friends, Splinterlands Lovers ~

Welcome back to my blog, @queen-silvia, In this Social Media Challenge, I am would like to share How to build a perfect counter for magic team especially Llama and Kron Combo who has 5 magic attack when the last stand ability was activated. In order to activate the magic reflect ability, There are 2 skills which need to be used, the first one is amplify and the next one is either magic reflect, return fire or thorn. In this post we will mainly talk about the usage of amplify and magic reflect. How cool is that? check out this article

This article will explain about some of the following topics :

LINE-UP EXPLANATION TO COUNTER LLAMA & KRON COMBO

1. Pelacor Conjurer

Alright, This is the line up where we can beat the llama and Kron Combo. The first position, we have Pelacor Conjurer, as he has magic reflect ability to reflect all the magic attack he received from the opponent. He gets additional 1 shield from Grandmaster Rathe and 1 health point from Djinn Renova.

2. Adelaide Brightwing

In the second position, we have Adelaide Brightwing. She has lots of skill but the main skills which are used to counter Llama - Kron combo here are repair and resurrect. the repair ability will give 1 shield in every turn and the resurrect ability will make Pelacor Conjurer come back again to life after being killed.

3. Djinn Renova

The third Position we have Djinn Rennova. Her main ability is Strengthen which gives additional 1 health point to all of friendly monsters. this additional 1 health point is very crucial for Pelacor Conjurer as every 1 health point can give 2 magic counter attack due to amplify skill.

4. Venari Crystalsmith

In the forth position, we have Venari Crystalsmith. this card has an important role to keep Pelacor Conjurer alive as she recover Pelacor Conjurer's 2 health points in each round. all of life splinters are unique as they are not only attacking the enemies but also healing or repairing the shield of other monsters. those skills are triage, tank heal and repair.

5. Supply Runner

The fifth monster is Supply Runner. He has a role to increase the speed of all of friendly monster by 1. He has very high speed which allow hi to dodge sneak monster who has lower speed than him. Additional 1 speed is very important since monsters who attack first are (mostly) winning the match.

6. Lone Boatman

The last monster is Lone Boatman. I put him in the last position since he has the highest shield among all of other monster (3 shield). Not only has 2 ranged attack but he also has repair ability which recover the shield for monster whose their shield are broken. Shield become very powerful when we used Grandmaster rathe since it can protect us from magic attack.

The mana cost for this match is 56, pretty high. We can arrange many monsters with high mana. There are 2 rulesets, the first one is Aim True and the second one is Keep your distance.

Icon	Ruleset	Explanation
	Aim True	Melee and Ranged attacks always hit their target. Blind, flying, dodge are useless. Thorn and Return Fire ability are great skills in this ruleset since the opponent attack will always hit and the attack would be given back to the attacker.
	Keep Your Distance	Monsters with Melee attack may not be used in battles. The best tips in this ruleset is to stack monster with high mana in front and set monster with high attack in the backline.

- BATTLE ANALYSIS -

Round 1

In the first round, Pelacor conjurer has reflecting all of the magic attack by Scarred Llama Team. Grandmaster rathe team were attacking first and after reflecting Mycelic Slipspawn magic attack, Pelacor Conjurer has successfully killed Mycelic Slipspawn. In the end of round 1, Pelacor Conjurer has been killed by Goblin Tower and he got resurrected by Adelaide Brightwing.

Round 2

In this round, Pelacor Conjurer's health back to 3 with 1 shield, thanks to tank heal ability by Venari Crystalsmith and the repair ability from Lone Boatman and Adelaide Brightwing. Grandmaster rathe team has successfully killed Magi of Chaos as they are giving 5 magic attack and 4 ranged attack to him. At the end of the match Pelacor Conjurer died and being replaced by Adelaide Brightwing.

Round 3

In this round, The repair ability by Grandmaster Rathe team works pretty well to keep Adelaide Brightwing alive while Centauri Mage died after receiving lots of attack from Grandmaster Rathe team, including 5 magic attack and 4 ranged attack in total. On the other hand, Lone Boatman is keep attacking monster in the backline due to it's snipe ability.

Round 4

In this round, Goblin Tower has been killed and Goblin Psychic has received lots of battle damage. His health point is just 1 and looks like he will be killed after receiving Lone Boatman attack in the next turn. if it does happen then the last stand ability will be activated and Kron the Undying will become a powerful monster.

Round 5

In this round, Lone Boatman has killed Goblin Psychic and Kron the Undying has become stronger. He has 5 magic attack, 3 speed and 17 Health point. Unfortunately his 5 magic attack is worthless since the void shield negates his 5 magic.

Round 6 - 8

This round shows us how Grandmaster Rathe is a better summoner than Scarred Llama combined with Kron the Undying as we can see the 5 magic attack is pointless since it's just break the shield not the opponent's health while the Adelaide Shield is always being repaired by other monsters with repair ability. Kron is getting total 5 magic attack and 6 ranged attack. he died in the 8th round. The match is over, Grandmaster Rathe won the match.

- OPINON ABOUT GRANDMASTER RATHE -

Well, in my opinion this card is one among the best summoners in Splinterlands. another summoner which I think is the best is Chanseus The Great since he has resurrect, Triage and repair ability. The reason why I am thinking that he is the best is because of his ability to counter either melee, ranged or magic attack and rise the damage. This is very great as the monster do not need to do anything to give damage to the opponent and they died because of the effect of Thorn, Magic Reflect and Return Fire.
