Hello Splintermates and Fellow Hiveans,
It is the end of the week and hope you are all doing well. It is uptober two months away to a christmas rally. Today's Splinterlands Community Engagement Challenge: Ruleset Riddles! i want to share an earthquake ruleset in a ruleset riddles where i am gonna share a battle using eternal tofu as the best option to my available archon to deal against the flying monster my opponent fielded in the battlefield. They say when earthquake comes it is a natural calamity that hard to avoid as it is a force of nature. In splinterlands fielding flying monster would exempt you in an earthquake ruleset and to deal with them you need to snare them to have atleast an even field.
(Prayers to the Cebuanos who are suffering from a recent 6.9 earthquake. Wish for your fast recovery)
The battle i am gonna share is one of the battle i selected in our guild brawl. This battle is a good example for this week challenge although not as perfect but this is the best example among the battle that shows how to deal with earthquake ruleset even if i don't have a flying monster.
This battle is a 47 mana battle with needs for speed, earthquake and now you see me ruleset where my opponent used to deploy one flying monster and a cleanse strategy. My strategy in here is to use eternal tofu for his snare ability that deals with the flying monster.
| RULESET | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
| Need for Speed - You can only summon units with 3 or more speed. | |
| Earthquake -All nonflying and snared units take 2 physical damage at the end of each round. Snared units are considered non-flying. Since the damage given is physical, it can be reduced to 1 if the unit has the shield ability. | |
| Now You See Me - All units have the Camouflage ability. |
In this round 1 my opponent gladiator marisol contura manage to illuminate my halfing refugee with his armored strike and melee reach attack but with my bera dallin also having its armored strike and melee attack he manage to illuminate my opponents bera dallin so now we have 5 aginst 5 monster ending in round 1.
In this round 2 my opponent marisol contura who illuminated my halfling refugee was illuminated by a collective effort by my whole team janni rebel, olivia of the brook, halaran huntress, bera dallin miss its armored strike and melee attack and katrelba gobson made the final blow which illuminated also my opponent mana warde due to katrelba gobson double strike ability (attacks twice each turn).Nothing is illuminated via earthquake in the beginning of this round.
At the beginning of this final round no monster was illuminated due to earthquake, but i prefer you replay this as the snare and cleanse happen in just two moves. In this round my katrelba gobson cause snare to my opponent flying monster pallus but then his anashth soothsayer cleanse it immediately , after that my halaran huntress illuminated the cleansed pallus that restore his flying ability. My olivia of the brook also illuminated my opponent halfling refugee and my janni rebel do the final kill on my opponent remaining anashth soothsayer

This battle put me into an 8 wins 0 loss where i got a multiple lucky wins in the just concluded guild brawl where our 
ETERNAL TOFU - is a very good archon to deals against flying ruleset due to its added snare ability that cause flying monsters loose their flying ability as once flying monster hit by snare, snared units will be considered non flying although can be cleansed as what happen in this battle.
| ARCHON | UNIT 1 | UNIT 2 | UNIT 3 | UNIT 4 | UNIT 5 | UNIT 5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Eternal Tofu | Halfling Refugee | Bera Dallin | Janni Rebel | Katrelba Gobson | Olivia of the Brook | Halaran Huntress |
In this battle 47 mana battle with needs for speed, earthquake and now you see me ruleset against a very strong opponent my strategy and positioning is to used eternal tofu as my archon for his added snare ability to counter any flying monster by my opponent. I then used halfling refugee as my tank and put bera dallin as supporting tank but used him as taunt for any magic and ranged attack. I then position janni rebel in 3rd for his added inspire ability specially to katrelba gobson at 4th position benifitting the added plus 1 melee attack with his double strike ability. Then i position olivia of the brook 5th and halaran huntress at last position where my team got a overwhelming win against a strong opponent.
