New season already in motion with 13DAYS:23HOURS left, the grinding is on again, Hope the battlefield been kind to you my friend. I wish you a strong fist as you fight your way up to your preferred league💪.
This post is my continuous attempt to explain how I approach the various kinds of Splinterlands battle rulesets. I have so far shared my approach to twenty five (25) Rulesets, here's the last one on TARGET PRACTICE
This is an interesting ruleset with a good number of approach. But, before I tell you all about it, there's few days left, so if you want to know other battle mages secrets and take part by sharing with us yours, simply visit 👉BATTLE MAGE SECRETS Weekly Challenge!
Splinterlands seeks to sharpen player skills by allowing us explore various strategies via rulesets. I have tried to study a few cards especially with the newly introduced rulesets, giving one more reasons to know what cards strongly suits them.
Before the start of any battle, each player is shown what ruleset is allowed in battle and it is extremely beneficial to read and strategize accordingly. The secret I will be sharing with you to in this post is the UNPROTECTED
UNPROTECTED RULESET Implies that monsters do not have any armor and do not get armor from Abilities or Summoner Buffs.
With this in mind;
Players should note that Protect, Piercing, Repair, Rust are useless. Hence, focus on a tank with high HP and Heal.
Not that bad, summoners don't give any buffs/debuffs, so you got to pick self standing monsters with high HP and good enough abilities for the collective whole, yes?. Well worry not because I have the perfect battle to demonstrate this and a possible lineup that works for low-mid mana battles.
| RULE SET | |
|---|---|
| STANDARD | MODIFICATIONS TO THE RULES AND MECHANICS |
| MANA CAPACITY | |
| AVAILABLE ELEMENT | only Fire🔥 and Water🌊 elements allowed |
This was a mid mana cap battle with the spotlight ruleset of the week UNPROTECTEDKEEP YOUR DISTANCE and SILENCED SUMMONERS.
📌TIPS TO NOTE ABOUT THESE RULESETS:
UNPROTECTED : Monsters do not have any armor and do not get armor from Abilities or Summoner Buffs. Keep in mind that Protect, Piercing, Repair, Rust are useless, so focus on a tank(s) with high HP and Heal.
KEEP YOUR DISTANCE : Monsters with Melee attack may not be used in battles. make sure to keep no attack or higher HP monsters in the front. Instead keep higher speed Magic monsters with abilities like Flying, Dodge, Blind in the front.
SILENCED SUMMONERS : Summoners do not give any stat buffs or debuffs or grant/use any abilities. Try use a summoner with no abilities or low Mana to preserve mana.
Though I could see some mistakes made by my opponent, still @olopezdeveloper2 came at me with a decent lineup, wouldn't make the mistake by underestimating these cards. I will quickly introduce you to my fantastic Summoner and Monsters.
The +1 magic Alric. I like to use a powerful magic attack against my enemy, something that can quickly deplete their health points so that the battle lasts a few rounds but not too long. Unfortunately the ruleset doesn't permit this summoner to offer any stats buff or debuff or grant/use any abilities.
As the frontline of offense monster, ALMO CAMBIO's capabilities shine bright. A non attacker in front with a good HP tank.
Comes the second tank, a distraction strategically placed for damage. A range attacker with self Heal and Return fire.
A powerful monster and range attacker with Protect & Tank heal.
Cunning and deadly, ALBATROSS is a non-attacker with Tank heal and Fly ability t rain destruction on non-flying monsters.
Next on the team is the powerful MERDAALI. A non-attacker with Tank heal as well as to Repair team monster shield that's taken the most damage.
A master at dealing decent damage to the opponent from behind. A range attacker with Triage boosting team's fortification and Silence to weaken enemies magic.
Players should focus on a tank with high HP and Heal.
✅ This is why I have placed ALMO CAMBIO in first position as he serves perfectly. He is a non-attacker.
✅ Because the Ruleset also took away all their defense, I decided to Triple my Tank Healers, having CRUSTACEAN KING, ALBATROSS and MERDAALI GUARDIAN.
✅ Also, should ALMO CAMBIO get annihilated depending on my opponents lineup, then I have set CORNEALUS to take over and deal damage using it's return fire and Thorns.
Enemy-Summoner BORTUS and my Summoner ALRIC STORMBRINGER offer no buff or debuff to their monsters.
Monsters though can offer buffs/debuffs/grant abilities to themselves or team monsters. CRUSTACEAN KING offers all team monsters the Protect ability. ENEMY-RULER OF THE SEAS and ENEMY-NAGA WINDMASTER debuffs my team by placing a Headwinds and magic Silence, thankfully I have no Magic monsters.
Brutal assualt from opponent, but my team stands strong. Soon enough ANGELIC MANDARIN targets and annihilates enemies tank healer ENEMY-CRUSTACEAN KING.
ALMO CAMBIO then targets and kills ENEMY-NAGA WINDMASTER, freeing his team of the headwind curse.
CORNEALUS and ANGELIC MANDARIN take turns to attack and finally annihilate front line ENEMY-PRISMATIC ENERGY.
CORNEALUS again targets and kills ENEMY-ALBATROSS, tank healer out of the way.
ANGELIC MANDARIN targets and kills ENEMY-RIVER NMYPH.
Fierce assault from my team against ENEMY-RULER OF THE SEAS. Once again my team is the declared
▶️CLICK ON THIS TO REPLAY THE UNPROTECTED BATTLE IN SPLINTERLANDS◀️
The UNPROTECTED ruleset means that Monsters do not have any armor and do not get armor from Abilities or Summoner Buffs. Protect, Piercing, Repair, Rust are useless. Focus on a tank with high HP and Heal.
This ruleset encourages players to think more about the individual strengths of their monsters and how they can be most effectively used together with all their armor taken away, worst now with the combo ruleset where all monsters battle without the help of their summoner's abilities.
To excel in this, players should wisely place High HP and non-attack monsters ALMO CAMBIO at the front line. These monsters can serve as buffers, absorbing damage from the opposing team's ranged or magic attacks while the player's offensive units prepare their attack.
Also employing healing monsters like CRUSTACEAN KING, ALBATROSS and higher speed magic monsters with abilities like Flying ALBATROSS becomes a tactical advantage. Flying monsters can evade ground attacks, and when coupled with high speed, they have a better chance of acting before the enemy, potentially disabling them before they can counter.
Splinterlands is a rewarding game, and, for every battle won you earn chest which could contain random rewards like Cards, Splintershards, Potions and Merits [Booster packs all finished now]. I was able to grind 106 Gold chest last season. I got to Pull 2 copies Epic regular-foils, a Level 2 gold-foil MADCAP MAGNUS, 172.8 more SPS, 1260 merits and other regular cards in multiple copies for leveling up.
I also tried all I could and finished 10th on the Modern leaderboard. Not my best performance but it's alright, new season new hope🤞
That will be all about my battle with UNPROTECTED as focus ruleset and End of Season rants. Thank you for stopping by😊
