SHARING A BATTLE Using A Monster with the BLAST Ability- My Splinterlands' Journey #29
Hello, Splinterlands!!!
The THEME for this week's battle challenge is BLAST, and this is my entry!

These are the Monsters on my Team that have the Blast ability
General Strategy
When I chose the lineup for a battle, I keep foremost in my mind that the objective of this game is to do as much damage to the enemy while reducing the possible damages on my own team.
This is the primary reason why my first choice of Monsters to field in battles are those with "offensive" abilities rather than "defensive" abilities. It is a the overarching strategy that I employ in all battles. Blast is an offensive ability.
In this battle, both teams had the same number of Monsters in play. The advantage of my Team was (a) all Monsters have abilities, (b) I had only one defensive Monster (Furious Chicken), whereas the opponent team had two defensive Monsters both of which have no ability and one does not have any attack (Peaceful Giant, Furious Chicken).
The Monsters I chose for this battle have abilities that either delivers counter attacks or delivers an added damage to the enemy Monster.
The Blast ability on a Monster (and a Summoner) is a very powerful tool as it will allow a Monster to do damage behind the tank as it directs damage to the tank. The primary target of both Range and Magic Monsters is the opponent's tank. A Monster with the Blast ability can potentially even take out a Melee, Range or Magic opponent. This is because a Monster with the Blast ability does additional damage to Monsters adjacent to the target Monster, i.e., two hits to two separate monsters for every attack!

I think I will stick to dcity because it's easier
That's what I thought and how I felt before I learned the game. quickly learned t considering that this was the first online crypto game that I ever played. But I will try dcity too!
Have a great evening and take care, my friend, @teenagecrypto 🥰🌺🤙

Nice victory, blast is usually very effective in low mana battles!
I like all of them. I think that my water team is much stronger when I field two blasters. I just got my Zaku and have not tried that summoner. Thanks fr stopping by, and leaving a comment. I am very encouraged! I appreciate you, my friend @revisesociology!
Have a wondeful day, and take care 🥰🌺🤙

It looks like you are having a "Blast" @silversaver888!!🤗
Congratulations on the win my friend, It looks like you have this game down pat!!!
Take care and enjoy the evening my friend!😍😍😀
There are several in SGS who are in the Silver Gold Stackers Guild of Splinterlands. THEY are very good at this game: @senstless, @monsterjamgold, @tbnfl4sun, @ronaldoavelino, @welshstacker, @knowledge-seeker, and myself... and this is the order of current levels. As you can see, I am trailing behind, hahaha.
Have a wonderful day, my dear friend @silvertop... I so appreciate your support. Take care 🥰🌺🤙

Wow, I had no idea everyone was into this game! I have to admit @silversaver888 It has me curious! I will follow your post on this, maybe sometime I'll give it a try!😀
Have a wonderful day my friend!😍😍😀
Let me know when you want to do some practice battles!😀
You can even sign up for free... try out the base level cards and see if you like it. If you decide to join and to buy cards and level up ... then you need to buy the summoner's spellbook. But that also lets you win reward cards that can be sold for as much as $50(Gold foil legendary) if you are lucky enough to flip that special card.
So, yeah.... it is fun and exciting too!! Give it a try!

All the blasting!
Yeah. I try to use monsters with abilities as much as possible.
And this ruleset (equalizer) makes blasters INSANE. Normally, with lower health they get picked off early... Not today, friends!
Another great post with excellent strategies. 😍
Exactly!!! We are both getting better in this game, and it certainly makes me happy when I win! I am so impressed by how others with low-level cards are at such high levels. They are truly very good at this game and must be very good at strategy. I wish they'd join us in your weekly battle challenge so that they can share their strategies with us!
Have a beautiful day, my lovely friend @carrieallen, and take care 🥰🌺🤙

Ya know... I like to think I'm getting better. And for real, I KNOW the strategies just from reading all these posts... But... it's still so much to remember! 🤣 And I need to start live streaming/recording my Daily Quests... but good lord, I feel like it will be a hot mess. I need the thoughts in my head to make my team. Add in SAYING the thoughts? I dunno... I foresee some hilarious losses in my future! 🤣
I also wish more would pop on the bandwagon and share their secrets. I think we'll start to see a LOT more in the coming days. Chris and I are hard at work with the onboarding side of things. Figuring out what works and what doesn't. We're bound to hit those money beets at some point. 😉
Have a fabulous day, yourself, pretty lady! 🥰
I turn up the volume when I battle. And when time is up to field one's lineup, the music gets me rattled and nervous, especially when I have to change the lineup the last minute lol 🤣🤣🤣!!!
Thanks for everything that you do, lovely @carrieallen! You are some cool dudette!!!🥰🥰🥰
