Battle with level 4 fearsome "Thalgrimore"

Hello everyone, it’s me, @intishar, once again. I believe that all of you are enjoying the battles of Splinterlands, and it should be because it’s impossible for someone not to enjoy the battles while playing. I play battles each day and try to improve my strategies to win more battles without losing too much. I think everyone wants it and there is nothing wrong with that.

I am always kind of afraid to play battles against the death element or when someone uses the “Thalgrimore” Archon. The reason is very simple. The reason is that I lose most of my battles against the death elements. It gives me a clear indication to me that I am weak against the death elements, and my strategy is not good enough to beat the opponent when I use another Archon except Thalgrimore. This time I was confident that I was going the face battle against the death element, as the opponent used it in previous 6 battles. So, I choose the different Archon to challenge myself and improve my strategies against the death elements especially when the opponent’s Archon were 2 level higher than my Archon and it was indeed a tough battle for me. Now I am going to share about the battle.

Maximum mana cap of the battle was 86, which was quite high and gave freedom to select any card without thinking about mana. “Up Close & Personal” and “Equalizer” both rulesets were present and played an important role in the battle. My selected Archon was “Incessant Sage”. Naturally, my 1st selected card was “Twice Yester Knight” for having 4 Armor and 2 attack power. I usually use it 1st when I use this Archon. In the 2nd position, “Buns the Unseen” was chosen for having the ability to attack from the 2nd position and it had 8 Armor without using the ability of Archon. When health is equal for every unit, Armor can create the difference. Besides, its speed was 3 which is quite good.

“Great Bear Druid” card was in the 3rd position. It was selected for having both magic and mele attack power. I think I could select another card also, but I feel it was suitable considering overall situation of the battle. “Vengeful Monk” is my favorite card, and it was placed in the 4th position as I wanted to protect it for the longer time. It had the snipe attack ability with 2 melee attack power, and I think that this can play the most important role sometimes and can turn over the battle result. With Equalizer health of it also increases which was one kind of advantage for me.

The 5th position was reserved for the “Sherringham Logger”. It has the power to attack opponent’s card placed in the last and the attack power of it is 2 which was good enough to select the card, and 1 Armor was available for it. And at the last position, “New Beluroc Aegis” was placed. I had to protect the first 5 cards as long as possible and this card has the ability to draw the attack of opponent’s unit and allow my others unit to survive till the end and give them more opportunities to attack my opponent’s units.

The outcome was not clear at the beginning but with few rounds I got the lead and achieved the victory. It was quite satisfying because I got the victory against the Archon which I am afraid of and it was higher level Archon compared to me. I recommend you to watch the battle. Here is the battle link.
