Splinterlands Battle | Melee Mayhem.

Welcome to my blog where I'll share my winning battle with the Melee Mayhem ruleset.

^{Background Source & then edited with PixelLab.}

Melee Mayhem is a special ruleset where melee attack monsters can attack from any position. Melee attack monsters can usually attack from only the first position and with the "Reach" ability, they can attack from the second position as well; with the "Opportunity and Sneak" ability, they can attack certain opponent monsters from any position but without having any abilities, a melee attack monster can only attack from the first position. But if we find Melee Mayhem ruleset on the battle then every melee attack monster on the battlefield can attack from any position.

A Brief Info About The Battle

The battle mana cap was 54 with the "Melee Mayhem" ruleset where I've used the earth splinter and my opponent used the fire splinter against me.

Lineup.

After selecting Obsidian as the summoner that offers +1 magic attack, then I had Regal Peryton with 2 magic attacks & the "Flying" ability at the 1^st position, Mycelic Slipspawn with 2 magic attacks & the "Taunt" ability at the 2^nd position, Prismatic Energy with a magic attack & the "Magic Reflect" ability at the 3^rd position, Goblin Psychic (Gold) with 2 magic attacks & the "Tank Heal" ability at the 4^th position, Grund with 3 melee attacks & the "Double Strike" ability at the 5^th position & Venari Knifer with 3 melee attacks & the "Thorns" ability at the last position.
For using Obsidian as the summoner that offers +1 magic attack, I tried to choose the magic monsters that have good power and at the same time, it was Melee Mayhem so at first, I've used Regal Peryton cause it has the ability to evade some attacks and then I used Mycelic Slipspawn with the "Taunt" ability that will taunt all the opponent monsters to attack it first while all my other monsters will attack the opponent team. Then after using 2 more magic monsters, I've used 2 melee monsters with great power as they could attack from any position in Melee Mayhem and I wanted them to be safe with their great power.

And after using Tarsa as the summoner that offers +1 melee attack and +1 health, my opponent had his/her monsters as Living Lava with 3 melee attacks & the "Shield" ability at the 1^st position, Elven Defender with 2 melee attacks at the 2^nd position, Tenyii Striker with 2 melee attacks & "Sneak" ability at the 3^rd position, Radiated Brute with 2 melee attacks & the "Reach" ability at the 4^th position, Disintegrator with 2 melee attacks & the "Demoralize" ability at the 5^th position & Antoid Platoon with a melee attack & the "Shield" ability at the last position.
My opponent team used only melee monsters for the battle after seeing the Melee Mayhem ruleset and I'd say, it's a nice strategy.

For the special buff of my summoner, 4 of my magic monsters got +1 magic attack each. And for the special buff of the opponent's summoner, all the opponent monsters got +1 melee attack and +1 health each. Then for the special "Demoralize" ability, 2 of my monsters (melee monsters) lost 1 melee attack each.

For the special "Flying" ability of my Regal Peryton, this monster gets an increased chance of evading melee or ranged attacks from monsters who do not have the flying ability. For the special "Taunt" ability of my Mycelic Slipspawn, all enemy monsters target this monster if they're able to. For the special "Magic Reflect" ability of my Prismatic Energy, this monster does reduce magic damage back to the attacker when it gets hit by magic damage. For the special "Tank Heal" ability of my Goblin Psychic, this monster restores a portion of the monster in the first position's health each round. For the special "Double Strike" ability of my Grung, this monster will attack twice each round. For the special "Thorns" ability of my Venari Knifer, when the monster gets hit with a melee attack, it does damage back to the attacker.

Then... for being the most speed holder, my Regal Peryton started the battle with the first attack and killed 3 health of the opponent's Living Lava out of 7 with the starting shot. Then my Venari Knifer attacked the opponent's Living Lava and was about to destroy the whole shield of the opponent monster but the opponent monster reduced the damage for having the "Shield" ability and lost only 1 shield. Then my Prismatic Energy attacked and killed 2 health of the opponent's Living Lava. Then my Grund attacked the opponent's Living Lava twice and was about to kill the opponent monster for good but for having the "Shield" ability, the opponent monster still lives after losing 1 shield and 1 health.

My Grund attacked the opponent's Antoid Platoon with the second attack and destroyed the shield of the opponent's Andtoid Platoon. Then after healing 3 health of my Prismatic Energy for having the "Tank Heal" ability, my Goblin Psychic attacked and killed 3 health of the opponent's Antoid Platoon out of 7.
