TOURNAMENT GUIDE : RUNNER-UP AT WILD SILVER (540 SPS REWARDS) AND GIVEAWAY #58

about 1 year ago (Edited)

~ 😘 Hello Splinterlands lovers around the world 😘 ~

Welcome back to my blog, @queen-silvia. In today post, I am going to share to all of you 5 epic battle strategies I used to be a Runner Up at SPS Wild Silver Tournament. The race between the winner and second place is very tight and thrilling. The difference was just 1 point only as I have 20 Win and 1 Lose while the winner has 20 Win and 1 Draw. The winner was @teejays. He is such an amazing player who can win 10 matches in just around 10 minutes 😆. He beats all of his opponents at the final round. Well, my strategy was worse than him so I have to be satisfied at the second round. Anyway, The top 4 have the same prizes (540 SPS), they are : @teejays, @queen-silvia, @ueyuey and @hellslash. Both ueyuey and Hellslash are regularly having remarkable result in Silver and Gold Tournaments.

Alright, The top Wild Bronze Gold Foil tournament strategies that we are going to discuss in depth are :

Second tank monster is very important in high mana battle
Yodin will never win against "well-organized" Ilthain
Unicorn Mustang, The Magic tamer
Put Thorn ability in 6th position to counter sneaky monster
Use 2 mana summoner in Silence Summoner ruleset

At the beginning of this article, I will share the result of the first and final round of the tournament and... at the end, there will be a giveaway #58 to grab so Let's get started !

- TOURNAMENT RESULT -

Here is the result of Round 1 tournament :

In the first round I was lucky to do clean sweep although some of the opponents were pretty skilled. Let say two of the strongest players in Japan, @ueyuey and @zombie569. Some other strong opponents are @superc0w and @fudou. I fought my guildmate also in Guardians of Glory, @bandano. he is a GoG officer, just like me. Another person that I know is @choonie. He hosted Presidential Tournament where the winner receive NFT as the reward. For those who have played with me in the first round (@the4thworld, @macha-tw, @no2, and @esquoret), Thank you very much and see you in the next tournament.

And here is the result of final round :

Well, I got 1 L from 10 matches and win the rest. I had led the standings for several hours and then @teejays took the first spot in the very last minutes. It's fine for me to lose against him since there's new lesson to learn and put it in my note. The battle between I and teejays will be explained in the next chapter. There will also the other top 4 strategies that will be explained. I wish those strategies can be useful to all of you guys. Alright, I would like to say thank you very much to all of the players above : @headchange, @krma, @costanza, @sp3cial3d, @jannikkb, @momojuice, @markus.journey, @justenjoy and @wer-gewinnt. That was a good game and see you in the next tournaments.

- SECOND TANK MONSTER IS VERY IMPORTANT IN HIGH MANA BATTLE -

Ruleset	Mana	Element
Holy Protection, Weak Magic	58	Fire, Water, Death, Dragon

BATTLE LINK

This is the most important battle in the tournament. The battle that decide who will be the winner and the runner up lol ha ha. In the battle, I thought teejays is going to use Yodin since mana is high and fire splinter is available but I was surprised to see he was using Kitty As well. So, it's about Kitty vs Kitty. The main reason why I lost the battle is because he has double healer (Kitty & Crustacean King) and 2nd strong tank monster (Carnage Titan). Those formation has very strong defense, my attack could not penetrate and I ended up losing because of Axe Master and Phantom of the Abyss.

- YODIN WILL NEVER WIN AGAINST "WELL-ORGANIZED" ILTHAIN -

Ruleset	Mana	Element
Fog of War	34	Fire, Life, Earth

BATTLE LINK

This is the battle against @ueyuey. One of the strongest player in Japan. After the match, he said that the reason he was using Yodin is because He didn't see any Ilthain in my deck and then once I filled my match, he was really shocked to see that his Yodin has to fight against Ilthain. I used double tank monster in this match. The first tank monster is Lord Arianthus as he can reflect magic. The second tank monster is Chain Golem because he has shield and void just like Lord Arianthus. I equip my team with Dax Paragon to give amplify effect (increase the damage of the returned ranged attack) and defensive monster like Adelade Brightwing, Divine Healer and Lone Boatman.

- UNICORN MUSTANG, THE MAGIC TAMER -

Ruleset	Mana	Element
Super Sneak, Broken Arrows	38	Earth, Life, Death, Dragon

BATTLE LINK

Unicorn Mustang is one of my favorite Earth Splinter card because he has 12 Health Points, 4 Melee damage and 4 Speed at Lv. 4. Very good tank against magic unit and also pretty great to destroy opponent tank monster with his 4 melee damage. I always equip the Unicorn with the tank healer such as Goblin Psychic, Khmer Princess or Wood Nymph. To deal with the opponent's magic attack, I also equip my team with silence monster such as Mushroom Sheer or Elven Mystic. In the above battle those opponent monsters who have 1 magic damage has no impact against Unicorn Mustang who has Void ability.

- THORN ABILITY IN 6TH POSITION TO COUNTER SNEAK ATTACK -

Ruleset	Mana	Element
Tis but Scratches, Broken Arrow	29	Fire, Life, Death, Dragon

BATTLE LINK

This is one of the most exciting matches in the whole tournament battle. We have the same thought that as the ranged attack would not be available due to the broken arrow ruleset, so the kind of attack only melee and magic. So... we put a monster who have thorn ability in the sixth position. I am a bit worried at first since the opponent might not using that card but I am glad after seeing Dhampir Infiltrator and Silvershield Assassin. The Thorn ability would not come to a waste. I think the key to win this match is to put a summoner who can give additional speed as who attack first, he / she will win it.

- USE 2 MANA SUMMONER IN SILENCE SUMMONER RULESET -

Ruleset	Mana	Element
Silenced Summoner, Broken Arrows	24	Earth, Life, Fire, Water

BATTLE LINK

In Silence summoner ruleset, any summoner has no impact on how the battling will be going on so it's very important to use summoner who has the lowest mana cost, in modern format the lowest mana for summoner is 3 so try to use that instead of using 4 mana summoner. In wild format, there are 2 mana summoners, mostly the epic ones, using small mana summoner will give additional mana to the monster so we can build up better team.

- FINAL RESULT -

Well, there is a big gap points between the 1st & 2nd and the 3rd - 5th. there's only 1 point difference for the 1st and second since both players got 2 Win. ueyuey came at the third place with 18 win, followed by @hellslash with 17 wins and @jayemm3 with 16 wins and 1 draw. For all of those top 5 players congratulations and see you at the next tournament.
