Hello Splinter nerds!!

Dang the new rule set is turning brain and sometimes makes me feel perplexed, like what am i supposed to use in this particular rule when the rule set also contradict the monsters available to use...
It is just like telling you to cross an ocean with big tides in a raft, just funny! i love the idea of having three rules in a battle, indeed makes it more fun and challenging...
I got this rule in a recent battle!
Equalizer: All monsters have the same health with the monster that has the highest health on either team ....
Going the distance: Only monsters with range can be used.
Fire and Regret: All monsters have the fire return ability...
The first rule is cool and also normal but the other two rules are the crazy rule set, only range attackers can be used yet all monsters have fire return which is a threat to range attackers and make them suffer damages as well for every attack they made....
In a case like this, players abstain from range attack monster but now they can't avoid them because they are the only options given! now what to do?
Looking at the set up above, the opponent use a monster with speed and backfire ability that does damage back to any monster that attack and miss it but i was expecting tricks like that so i use byzantine kitty the summoner that never miss!
There is always a way out and i will be explaining how i also crack my brain to come up with a rule to save me from this rule set and also defeat the opponent.....
Hero of beyond
This monster was my tank, i needed a strong range power monster to place at the front since all the non attack monsters can not be used, the hero of beyond just seems to be the perfect tank i need because of the abilities that he possess..
He has the shield which reduces the damage done to it by other range attackers plus he has the close range ability too that allows it to attack from the front position so it is just what i need at that moment....
Naga Assassin
In splinterlands, both players always think alike in most cases when selecting their team, in this battle, the opponent use this monster as his tank but i already have a strong tank and i place it at the second position instead just incase the opponent comes with snipers that will always aim at the monster in that position, atleast she could do some damages when they miss it.....
Unfortunately i lost her in this battle because the opponent came with a badass card Runic skyclaw with the snipe which didn't miss because it has much speed than her!
Herbalist
One thing i realize is that i need as many monster with the triage ability as i can get in this battle, because with every attacks done by my monsters, they also lose their health because of the fire return granted to all monsters, so the herbalist have this triage and hence have a spot to fill in this battle, it helps in restoring the health of naga assassin as the opponent sniper keeps hitting it which enable it to last longer in battle and gives me enough time to destroy the opponent formation...
Scale Doctor
The scale doctor is the best doctor on splinter lands, it repairs armor and also heals the rear monsters with his triage ability, like i said, i needed more monsters with the triage ability in this battle and the scale doctor is just another one but the difference is that, it also helps to keep my tank monster [ hero of beyond] on the battle ground as he keeps supplying him with more armor which makes it hard for the opponent to take him down, it is indeed a bad day for my opponent.. lol
Tower Griffin
I needed some protection....
The tower griffin has the protect ability so it is very important in this battle as it provide two armor to all my monsters...
My monsters must have armor for the scale doctor to be able to repair it or else that armor repair ability will be wasted...
Moreover, thanks to the armor, all my monsters first attack won't really affect their health because the return damages will first destroy their armor...
Runic Skyclaw
The first thing that comes to mind after seeing the rule set is monsters with the reflection shield, they can't affected by any reflect damage because of their shield, but unfortunately we do not have many of them but those we have are put into good use... The opponent also use skyclaw and guess what? we both place it at the last position!
More like we depend on it to wreck havoc on the opponent without suffering any damage in return and mine performed as expected helping to eradicate the opponent monsters.....
I lost only one monster in this battle, if not it would have been a flawless victory!
