For this battle, we have Aimless which is the featured ruleset that makes attacks to hit random target along with Equalizer and Counterspell. With this in consideration, my lineup was consist of:

  • Summoner: Grandmaster Rathe - Gives +1 armor on all allied monsters and gives the abilities,Void Armor that makes magic attacks to reduce the armor first before they can damage the health of the target and Amplify which increases reflected damage by +1.

  • 1st Position: Pelacor Conjurer does not have an attack but for the small mana cost of 2, it was very fast add with Flying that will give it 25% evasion chance. It also have Phase that allows it to evade magic attacks and Divine Shield that ignores the first damage on it.

  • 2nd Position: Stitch Leech - Has the Life Leech ability that allows it to gain health every time it deals damage to the opponent along with Sneak that allows it to target the backline units.

  • rrd Position: Uraeus - Another melee monster that can attack backline monsters with Sneak and at the same time afflict them with Poison that will reduce their health every turn.

  • 4th Position: Celestial Harpy - Got Flying that increases its chance to evade attacks by 25% while it has Opportunity that allows it to target monsters with the lowest health and True Strike to make sure it won't miss the attack.

  • 5th Position: Dummacke Exile - The third monster on my team to have the Sneak ability.

  • 6th Position: Clockwork Aide - Althought this was another card with no attack, it increases the speed of all ally monsters with Swiftness while removes the armor of my opponent with Rust.

Battle Recap

Here is a replay of the battle which at you can watch at Splinterlands.

Did your Strategy Work?


With Aimless ruleset, instead on relying on the unpredictability of the attack that will be made by magic and range units, I rather choose to focus my team with melee monsters that can attack with Snipe and Opportunity. At the same time, it seems like my opponent mistook the active ruleset which causes for his cards to received unnecessary damage although on a different occasion, I can see that lineup to beat my team due to his better cards.

That was it for this post. Thank you and see you at the next one.
