Giant Killing Chronicles: Chapter 15 (Double Leech)

Hi! @Saydie here, playing Splinterlands everyday.

I come up with a new content which I called "Giant Killing Chronicles" where I share battles but unlike my Weekly battle challenge, it does not have a featured monster but instead show battles that I at first seems to be at disadvantage due to the level gap between my team and the opponent but still prevail at the end just like in sport where an underdog team wins over a powerful opponent.

As we know, Splinterlands is a card game where in we can level cards and as we level- up this cards, their stats increases and they also gained some abilities which will give it more chance to win the game but it also comes down for one to have the skills to counter your opponent's line- up and luck so there are times that even if you have a low level team as long as it was takes opportunity of the rule set and completely counters your opponent, then even an underdog line- up has the possibility of winning. Of course it does not happen every time but it's very satisfying when they do.

Common

Rare

Epic

Legendary

As you can see, each summoner type has different levels of monster that you can play defending on their level cap and defending on the type of the summoner your opponent has, there are times that even if we play the same level of summoner, there will be a difference on the level of monsters due to the summoners rarity. The accounts that I will be using for this content are mainly playing at between silver and gold on the modern league with bronze cap level deck. This means that the monster I can use is cap at level 3 for common, level 2 for rare (level 3 for epic summoners), level 2 for epic and level 1 for legendary and I can only use level 2 rare and epic summoners and level 1 legendary summoner.

Rule Set

Conditions	Description
Silver League Modern Format	21 Mana Cap Available Elements: Fire, Death, Earth, Dragon
Equalizer	The initial Health of all Monsters is equal to that of the Monster on either team with the highest base Health.

For this battle, it will be a battle between my level 3 Thaddius Brood that gives -1 health and -1 magic against an opponent that is using the lever 4 Obsidian which gives +1 magic to all ally monsters. Level 4 is the maximum level one can use at the Silver League.

With Equalizer ruleset, the initial health of all monsters will be equal to the health of the monster with the highest base health on either team and for this battle the -1 health de- buff from Thaddius Brood means I already have more health than my opponent and it also offset the + 1 magic damage of Obsidian, turning the magic of all the opponent monsters to the original.

The key for my victory here despite the level difference is that I use Life Sapper and **Venari Bonesmith ** that despite not having high damage, has the Life Leech ability which allows both of this card to increase their health every time they attack and make a damage. Then it will be up to the rest of my monster line- up to do the heavy damage to the opponent.

The Match has reached up to round 7 with so much health from Life Sapper and Venari Bonesmith, more than twice than what they have during the start of the battle.

And that is all for now for this battle. Thank you for reading.
