Ruleset

Only units and summoners with a mana cost of 4 or less may be used.

Official ruleset information from splinterlands: List-of-In-Game-Rulesets

Abilities Synergies / Strategies

Life Leech/Scavenger - most of the units will have low health any extra health gained is important.
Noticed when writing this post many/most of the life leech units are low mana cost untis.

The next two I would not place often depending a bit on how many mana we could use. depending if i can fill the other spot with units that do damage.

Most played:

Avoid

In general select units with as much health as possible , avoid low health monster unless it got martyr.


recharge - I would avoid recharge monsters because these battle already going fast it takes an extra round before it can attack therefor i will not often/never select units like:

Example battle

Strategy

High mana battle which a complete waste in a little league battle the max amount of mana you can spend is, 6 units and 1 summoner, so 28 mana.

No legendary so will be missing some of my favorite units like:

Note that still legendary summoners can be selected that have 4 mana or less.

So in this case i want select dragon because you can chose more units and the -1 speed and -1 range will help to let me attack first.

Rulesets

Lost Legendaries:
Simply no legendary units can be selected. As mention legendary summoners are still possible.

Little League:
Rule set of this week. Only unit and summoners that cost 4 mana or less.

The Lineup

Summoner

CardReason
Speed can be important in little league matches to attack first because most units will not have a high health points. This is the main reason to select quix for this battle. and not Thaddius Brood

Units Lineup

#1#2#3#4#5#6

Shadow Snitch (lvl 10)
High health unit that only cost 4 damage is important to have in the front so it can protect the frontline.


Clockwork Aide (lvl 5 GF)
Purely in for the speed bonus so i hope i can start attacking first.


Dhampir Infiltrator (lvl 8)
A dragon unit that can attack twice even with shield it will take at least 2 health of the opponents unit because of the cripple


Ravenhood Warden (lvl 7)
Extra armor and boost my melee units.


Uraeus (lvl 6)
Also an important unit in this strategy for its poison and sneak attack.


Riftwing (lvl 10)
I assume my opponent will also use at least one or two sneak unit so this is to protect my attacking units.

Rounds


Start :

Lets analyze the battle lineup.
Pretty similar lineup i like his Skeleton Assassin it has a high speed with sneak and poison better than the Uraeus and that he also got. So as expected my opponent also has chosen to attack my backline.
At first glance its pretty even match up. at the end i will also run this in the battle vision of xbot to see what our win chance are.


Round 1:

My Ureaus hit and the Dhampir Infiltrator could finish the Clockwork Aide directly giving me another speed advantage
He missed my Riftwing twice that is huge because of the backfire 2 times, is this luck or not we will see in the end.


Round 2:

Because of my speed advantage most of my attack hits and i go first so my opponent is killed before it could attack. perfect situation to be in.
His Skeleton Assassin landed his attack luckily without the poison. This match is over my opponent does not have much attacking power left.


Round 3:

There it is already i toughed i needed one more round for the Riftwing but all attack hit so this match i over.


Conclusion

As mentioned above most of the little league battle are pretty quick this also was only 3 round.

Now look at the xbot battle vision, https://xbot.app/battlevision:

In the beginning i really toughed the teams had even chance to win. This is a reason to watch your battle but also use tool like battle vision to improve your gameplay.
