Battle Ruleset:

There were three rulesets in this battle which were Equal Opportunity, Explosive Weaponry, and Going The Distance. The allowed mana cap was 26 and all splinter summoners were active in this battle.

Battle Summoner

I choose QUIX THE DEVIOUS as a summoner for this battle, which is a Chaos Legion edition Legendary Dragon Splinter Summoner. It costs 4 mana and has two abilities(-1 range and -1 speed). I used this summoner because of the battle ruleset Going The Distance in which we can use only monsters with the range ability so using this summoner will reduce the -1 range attack of all enemy team monsters. Under this summoner, I choose the Earth Splinter monsters in this battle. I have upgraded it to level 2 and under this summoner, I can use other splinter monsters of up to level 5 common cards.

1. FUNGUS FLINGER:

In the first position, I used FUNGUS FLINGER which is a Soulbound reward edition common Range attack monster from the Earth Splinter. I used it in the first place because of its Martyr ability so when it dies it will increase the stats of the adjacent monsters by +1. I have got it at level 3 from the focus rewards in the gold foiled version and it works fine for me when I use it in my battles.

2. TATIANA BLAYDE:

In the second position, I used TATIANA BLAYDE which is a Gladius edition legendary double attack Melee-Range attack monster from the Neutral Splinter. It costs 8 mana, has 5 speed, and gives -3 melee, and -2 range damage in each round. I used it in the second position because of its Melee attack and close-range ability. It has a high speed due to which it attacks first. In this battle, I mainly used it because of its Bloodlust ability and you know that it is a very dangerous ability. Currently, I have 2 bcx of this card that I got from the Gladius packs opening and I will upgrade it to level 2 when I got one more.

3. VENARI MARKSRAT:

In the third position, I used VENARI MARKSRAT which is also a reward edition rare range attack monster from the Neutral Splinter. It costs 3 mana, gives -1 range damage, and has Martyr ability. I used it in the third position because of its Martyr ability so if it dies it will increase the stats of the monsters in the 2nd and 4th position by +1. I have got it at level 2 from the focus rewards in the gold foiled version.

4. EARTH ELEMENTAL:

In the fourth position, I used EARTH ELEMENTAL which is a beta edition rare range attack monster from the Earth Splinter. I used it in the fourth position because of its Heal ability and to give -2 range damage. Also when It gets damaged from the blast it will recover its health. I mostly use it in my battles whenever I am playing with the Earth Splinter. I have upgraded it to level 4 in which its range damage increases from 1 to 2 and works very well for me.

5. HALFLING ALCHEMIST:

In the fifth position, I used HALFLING ALCHEMIST which is a Promo edition Epic range attack monster from the neutral splinter. It costs 2 mana and has a Halving ability at level 1. I used it in the fifth position because of its range attack and also because of its halving ability. Currently, I have one box of it and works very well for me.

6. FIRE SPITTER:

In the last position, I used the FIRE SPITTER which is a reward edition Epic range attack monster from the Dragon Splinter. It costs 4 mana and has a Flying ability with high speed. I used it in the last position because it has a high speed and will target the low-health monster in the enemy team. It will give -3 range damage along with -2 damage of bast. I have upgraded it to level 3 in which its range attack increases from 2 to 3.
