Hello Splinterlands warriors and welcome back to my blog!
I had this amazing battle in the Frontier featuring two of the best tanks in that mode. In today's post, I'll break down the teams and how I won the battle.
Head to Head Match Up
Archon: Barthalamas vs Aurelia
I chose the Fire archon who grants speed to the team. My opponent chose Earth who gives a health boost. I think speed is understated stats in Splinterlands, who gets to attack first can potentially defeat the enemy faster and thus reduce the damage taken in the next round.
Tank: Jolius Blast vs Buns the Unseen
My Jolius Blast is only a level two but he has enough stats and abilities to be the best tank in the Frontier in my opinion. The enemy's Buns the Unseen is level four but his abilities do not benefit his team because I didn't use magic. His Void Armor and Silence abilities did not give him an additional advantage. Whereas Jolius's Enrage increases both his attack and speed.
Offtank: Chaos Furybringer vs Mad Gearhead
This is debatable. Chaos Furybringer deals more damage and has more speed but Mad Gearhead has more health. However, attack and speed is my advantage in this battle.
Third: Ash Archer vs Kicking Roc
Ash Archer has less attack but more speed while Kicking Roc also has the advantage in health.
Fourth: A'lan Musketeer
We both had this unit so let's call this a tie.
Fifth: New Beluroc Aegis vs Wilhemdale Deputy
A Taunt unit to draw attack vs a unit that deals three range damage. It's defensive play versus offense. I think, drawing attacks away from my tanks is better than having an extra offensive card in the team. This strategy ensures that my tank survives longer and deal damage to the enemy tank.
The Battle
The advantage in speed showed as the enemy's Buns the Unseen was reduced to three health at the end of the first round. By the third round, he was left with an all range team while my dual tank still survives. The battle was already decided at this round.
Final Thoughts
My Jolius Blast was at a lower level but it didn't matter. His stats and abilities were suitable for the battle. The enemy's Buns had a higher level but his abilities were designed to counter magic teams which is not suitable in physical battles.
