SHARE YOUR BATTLE Weekly Challenge! SCAVENGER
Hello guys,
Today I am going to share with you another battle in @splinterlands.
Battle details:
I played with death splinter. And my opponent also used a death splinter against me.
It was a battle of total 40 mana with two rules:
Unprotected: Monsters do not have any armor and do not get armor from abilities or Summoner buffs.
Up Close And Personal: Only monsters with melee attack may be used in battles.
I had my MIMOSA NIGHTSHADE level 3, DARK HA'ON level 3, CORRUPTED PEGASUS level 3, SAND WORM level 8, CREEPING OOZE level 4, FURIOUS CHICKEN level 4 and HYDRA level 3.
And my opponent had his/her cards as ZINTAR MORTALIS level 6, UNDEAD REXX level 8, HAUNTED SPIRIT level 3, CORRUPTED PEGASUS level 3, SKELETON ASSASSIN level 4, SAND WORM level 6 and SPINEBACK WOLF level 8.
Let me talk about monsters that I used in this battle.
~MIMOSA NIGHTSHADE. level 3
This legendary death summoner lowers all enemy ranged attacks by -1, gives Void ability to all friendly monsters, and prevents enemy monsters from healing. This is my favorite death summoner for battles with big mana cap because all those abilities are awesome. This card needs 7 mana.
Market.
I like preventing entire my opponent's team from healing. Other abilities of this death summoner are also very nice.

I used this monster and FURIOUS CHICKEN because I wanted a bit more protection from sneak attacks if my HYDRA would not be enough.

Only monsters with melee attack could be used in this battle. So chances of my opponent having monsters with sneak ability were high. And HYDRA is a good counter against sneak attacks.
On the battlefield.
I was right when I expected my opponent to have monsters with sneak attacks. But my opponent's team was strong so I was not sure if I did enough to to win this battle.
My tank was about to die but at least my HYDRA was doing a good job.
I lost my main tank and my second tank was barely alive. Things were looking quite bad at this point...
Now my HYDRA was the only tiny hope that I had left.
But surprisingly enough my HYDRA kept on fighting against all odds.
Now I became slightly more optimistic about outcome of this battle.
At this point I believed that I will actually somehow win this battle.
Strangely enough I won this battle.
In this battle I won 15.896 Dec and 15 League Rating. My strategy worked but not as well as I expected- I thought that my tank will survive longer. But my trump card(HYDRA) still won this battle for me.
I think that DARK HA'ON is the best monster with SCAVENGER ability. So I use him quite often.
I think that I had a good team in this battle. But I would consider replacing DARK HA'ON with THE GORLODON.
I hope that you enjoyed my battle. If you would also like to start playing splinterlands and earning by making posts about your battles or by making art inspired by splinterlands please consider using my referral link:

Also please consider visiting my art gallery. So far it has only two pieces that are inspired by splinterlands. But in the future I might add more works with splinterlands monsters.
Thank you and have a nice day.
