Giant Killing Chronicles: Chapter 7

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
Gold League Modern Format	25 Mana Cap Available Elements: Fire, Death, Dragon
Target Practice	All Ranged and Magic attack Monsters have the Snipe ability.
Reverse Speed	Monsters with the lowest Speed attack first and have the highest chance of evading attacks.

For this battle, we both use the Fire summoner Tarsa which gives + 1 melee damage and +1 health with the difference that I am using level 2 while the opponent is using level 5 which you can only use starting at Gold league.

As both teams uses the Fire summoner Tarsa, our teams both melee teams as it was also a way for us not to be affected by the Target Practice rule set which will just divide the attack focus of both teams. There is really nothing wrong with the opponent line- up in here. Just that it will tend that lower level monsters will just be slower than the higher level ones and it causes the opponent to lose. One thing I could say perhaps that really close the deal here when the opponent use a level 6 Radiated Brute with the Enrage ability that while it increases the melee attack of this card, it also increases the speed of this card which became fatal for the rule set.

The Result

The battle is a very close one as I was only left with Tenyii Striker and if Radiated Brute is at least on level 5, I might lose because he will get the attack priority for sure because when both monster has the same speed and the rarity of the monsters were different, then the attack priority goes for the less rare card for this rule set.

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