The Little League rule in Splinterlands is not one of my favorites, but whenever I have to battle in it, I use monsters that give me good defense in the Frontline and Backline.
I will use this battle as an example, in which there are 3 rules: High Five, Little League and Tis But Scratchers.
High Five - In this rule, players can only use up to 5 monsters in the battle.
Little League - In this rule, players can only use monsters that cost 4 or less mana.
Tis But Scratchers - In this rule, all monsters in the battle will receive the Cripple ability, with this ability, whenever they land an attack, they will reduce the monster's maximum life by -1.
When the Little League rule applies, one of my favorite summoners is Quix the Devious. He will reduce the speed and ranged attack of my opponent's monsters by -1. In the Little League rule, it is common for players to use monsters with ranged attacks because even those that use little mana have a powerful attack. So Quix the Devious is a great choice for this type of battle and also in other battles since monsters with ranged attacks are common to be used.
For the battle, I selected the following monsters:
Xenith Monk - This monster has a melee attack and costs 4 mana. He has the abilities Void and Heal, which will be of great help to him in surviving the battle.
The Void ability causes the Xenith Monk to receive only half of the magic damage.
The Heal ability causes the Xenith Monk to heal for 1/3 of his maximum health once per round.
Twiligh Basilisk - This monster has a melee attack and costs 4 mana, it has the abilities Reach and Stun.
The ability Reach allows the Twiligh Basilisk to attack in the second position even though it is a monster with a melee attack.
The ability Stun gives the Twiligh Basilisk a 50% chance to apply Stunned to the monster it attacks, Stunned monsters are unable to attack or use any ability for 1 round.
Scavo Chemist - This monster has no attack and costs 2 mana, it has the abilities Cleanse and Slow.
The ability Cleanse makes the Scavo Chemist remove all Magic Debuffs from the ally monster that is in the first position.
The ability Slow makes the Scavo Chemist reduce the speed of all my opponent's monsters by -1 while he is in battle.
Naga Assassin - This monster has a ranged attack and costs 2 mana, it has the ability Backfire.
Doctor Blight - This monster has a magical attack and costs 4 mana. It has the abilities Affliction, Camouflage, Posion, and Scavenger.
The Affliction ability causes Doctor Blight to have a 50% chance of cutting off the healing of the monster it attacks. This means that the monster will not be able to heal itself or receive healing.
The Camouflage ability causes Doctor Blight to be targeted by attacks only when it is in the first position. It can still receive attacks from monsters that have the Scattershot ability and can also receive damage from the Blast ability.
The Posion ability causes Doctor Blight to have a 50% chance of poisoning the monster it attacks. Poisoned monsters receive 2 damage at the start of each round.
The Scavenger ability causes Doctor Blight to gain +1 life whenever a monster is defeated in battle.
My strategy is to have Xenith Monk in the first position since he will be a great defense so that my Frontline will not be easily defeated and have Naga Assassin protecting the Backline since she has a great chance of dodging attacks.
With this strategy I was able to easily defeat my opponent and in the end all my monsters were still alive in the battle.
