Explosive Weaponry: Weekly Battle Mage Secrets!

Hello Splinters Family, Welcome back
Another week Another Battle Mage Secrets challenge, Every week we have the challenge to share battle certain rulesets. We will explain the strategy we use for that ruleset. To join this weekly challenge just follow Splinterlands.

All units gain the Blast ability.
Additional damage is equivalent to main damage divided by 2, rounded up.
Include a unit with Reflection Shield in your lineup to absorb blast damage and protect your back line.

In this ruleset, All monsters have a blast ability. For every attack hit by the opponent the back line receives additional damage equivalent to the main damage divided by 2, rounded up.
To protect the back line monster from the blast effect you can use the reflection ability. Reflection ability can absorb blast damage. If the reflection ability is not available you can lessen the damage of the blast effect using additional armor for physical damage and Void for magic damage.
DEFENSIVE ABILITY
![]() | ![]() | ![]() | |
All this ability can lessen the damage of the blast effect to the back line monster.
OFFENSIVE ABILITY
![]() | ![]() |
For the offensive you can use the scattershot ability to avoid the monster with the reflection shield ability in the back line. The fastest you can attack the better.

MY BATTLE

RULESET
- Explosive Weaponry
- Lost Legendaries
- Earthequake
- 52 Mana Cap

I use Kelya to give speed and armor to all monsters. The additional armor can help to less the damage of earthquake and blast effects. While the additional speed gives an advantage for an offensive attack.
BATTLE LINE-UP

The speed of Diemonshark is also a factor because one of the rulesets is Explosive Weaponry I need a fast monster so that they will be first to attack.
