Hello Everyone
First of all, I would like to welcome you to my Battle Mage Secret challenge, It's a weekly Splinterlands post I make regularly here as my participation to endorse and buzzing all over the blockchain about this amazing game,
For this post, we are having FEROCITY as our main there right now. It is a ruleset that gives all unit in the battle field, a FURY ability. With everyone having this FURY ability, using a Taunt Ability unit is surely suicidal because they will suffer double damage from everyone attacks.
The solution is very simple, just avoid using any units with TAUNT Ability. As simple as that, and honestly this ruleset is that lame... however still an important one, because it will make some ridiculous strong units obselete, for example AGOR
However if you don't have those kind of units or you don't like them, yeah you are free to join saying this ruleset is a lame one.
OK let's check our battle now
THE BATTLE
I pick this battle, on Diamond League 1, Wild Format. Recently I have been playing more on wild format because I am chasing the GLINT rewards. I am far from satisfied seeing my soul bound card selection, so I focus on getting the GLINT first.
With a Born Again ruleset, most likely people will come with a martyr. He will die twice and buff up twice, that's the plan... and Both of us here, me and my opponent, have the same idea.
Where is the taunting unit? as you can see, none of us have that idea.... bringing in Taunt Unit, especially with that 23 mana cap. All taunt unit have big mana requirements.
Would my simple lineup work?, let see how the battle went:
- The battle started with both of us buffing up our team and debuffing our opponents. Their side looked like coming more prepared, all at max level.
- My opponent came with 2 magic damage and 2 melee damage, combined all became 4 damage per round.
- My team had 2 melee damage, 1 range damage and 2 magic damage. It's all 5 damage per round only.
- Look like both of us relying a lot on martyr, that's why our fire power were low
- This battle would be a long one, regarding low firepower from both side and that divide shield ability.
- Round 3 would be a good start of changes, because this round both of the Venari Marksrat would die and the buffs from martyr abilities would take part.
- Yeah I know, it looked like the same, but some have died and got revived.
- In round 5 you could see my Quora was already very strong
- Now we had a show down between Quora vs Djinn Oshannus backed by Merdaali Guardian. However soon that pelacor bandit would screw up by killing my mushroom.
- Even before the mushroom died, Oshannus looked like losing the slugfest.
- Quora got buffed up again, and mushroom got revived again.
- At this point, I could say that the game was over. Quora had 18 health point, her healing would recover 6 health point. Their total damage per round was 6. They could not kill Quora and this sealed the victory
- Fast forwarded, round 18 was the last... Good Game
CLOSURE AND DISCUSSION
Usually when people employ Quora in their line up, they like to show up how strong their Quora has gone up... In this battle, this was the PEAK of my QUORA
To be Honest, QUORA Towershead was a bad choice for that battle. I made a gamble, relying on double Martyr, maybe due to luck, I won convincingly... but still it was a bad call. Why was it a bad call?
- My opponent did not anticipated any Quora because of 23 mana cap.
- If my opponent focus on one way, whether all in onto the front tank, or a bunch of sneak attacker, I would have died. This is the most important point in this battle, during Holy Protection ruleset, you need to focus where you want to attack.
- Bring Martyr during Born Again Ruleset. All people doing that, it's a non brainer choice.
- Yeah, Ferocity is useless in this battle... as many other Ferocity ruleset battle because it's about not bringing your Taunting Tank.
ok that's for today, Have fun playing Splinterlands!!
