How are you splinterlands lovers, how are you today? I got 7 focus chests today. As i was playing the game, i was also watching the World Cup.
I think it is not good for me to be watching football while playing splinterlands; i lost some battles because i did not select my monsters before the time allocated to select the monsters expired.
The match between Morrocco and Portugal was emotional to me, when it was 75 minutes, I left playing game and started watching the match.
Congratulations to Moroccans and Africans entirely as continent. This is a great achievement for the players and country because they are the first Africa country to enter semi-final since the world cup started. Most of the Africa countries eliminated in the group stage.
This set of players need to be compensated for this achievement; I believe that their names will be in the record of world cup and Africa.
RIVER NYMPH
A river nymph is a water monster with a powerful ability. I like to use cleanse ability when noxious poison rule is given. This strategy worked for me in most of the battles. Using this type of monster when noxious fume rule is given, the moment the cleanse ability is activated, the poison cannot affect first monster in in the lineup. That is the major reason i used river nymph when noxious fume rule is given.
River nymph also cleanse all impurities such as stunning, affliction, halving etc. Hence, there are many battles of which this monster is very important to use. It is not only when the noxious fume rule is given; there are monsters that are very dangerous in battle. Some of these dangerous monsters have special abilities; when these monsters are attacked, they are very harmful to the monsters attacked. The presence of cleanse ability monster can cleanse these impurities from the monsters in the first position.
This is the biggest advantage of river nymph in battles.
The disadvantage of river nymph
Since I have been using this monster in battles, one of the biggest advantages of this monster is LOWER HEALTH. This made monsters an opportunity to be attracted to this monster. That is the reason i like to use monsters with taunt ability or monsters with protection with river nymph in battles.
When using taunt monster, the taunt monster must die before those opportunity monsters will start attacking monsters with lowest health in battles. This is the reason I like to taunt monsters.
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CREATURE IN SPLINTERLANDS
The first time i saw this monster in splinterlands art contest, i was engrossed with it. It was the most beautiful splinterlands art contest I ever see.
That is how I knew the river nymph is the most beautiful creature in the splinterlands. Though there may be many monsters that are more beautiful than river nymphs, it depends on individual perceptions.
But for me, the river nymph is the most beautiful monster.

RULESET
HOLY PROTECTION: All monsters have the divine shield ability.
BROKEN ARROWS: Ranged attack monsters may not be used in battles
MONSTERS LINEUP
DJINN OSHANNUS: my thought was that my opponent would use magic attack monsters but he decided to used sneaky monsters in this battle. I believed in the void ability of djinn oshannus so much; that was the reason I used it in the first position.
I wanted to attack from the front position because of the holy protection; it was not easy for me because there was not a good monster to replace pelacor bandit. It is good to attack in one direction when holy protection because it is going to take a monster second round to kill any monster.
With the phase ability, it is possible for any monster to miss the attack which is also a good advantage to me.
VENARI WAVESMITH: i needed to add armor to all my monsters so that if range or melee monsters are used, such monsters would need to remove the holy protection, and health which delay to do so.
Addition of a monster with holy monster would make it difficult to kill all friendly monsters. That was the reason it took opponent monsters- elven cutthroat, skeleton assassin, and silent sha-vi to kill pelacor bandit. It took a second round for the three monsters to eliminate pelacor bandit.
Without armor, pelacor bandit would have been eliminated in the first round.
MERDAALI GUARDIAN: tank heal of this monster was needed to keep on healing Djinn Oshannus. Merdaali Guardian was healing the health of Djinn oshannus in every round, that was the reason the monster was not kill in this battle.
RIVER NYMPH: if there was a monster with impurity in my opponent lineup, if such monster attacks my Djiin odhannus, river nymph would have used the cleanse ability to cleanse it. Unfortunately, there was no monster with impurity in my opponent lineup that could show how river nymph cleanse it.
DOCTOR BLIGHT: The poison of this monster was very important; this would damage the health each round. Just like the way it poisoned void dragon which damaged health after each round.
I was confident that no monster would attack doctor blight except it was the only monster in the lineup. That was the reason I used it as the second to the last monster.
PALCOR BANDIT: I wanted all my monsters to attack from one direction but there was no way; that was the reason I used pelacor bandit.
The flying ability also has the advantage of evading melee and range attack.
In conclusion, river nymph is one of the best monsters i like to use in battle especially when poison rule is applied.
