Don't look into those eyes too hard.
Here's my battle for this week
and a link
https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=sl_48b0a78d6b69b0175cd72715b3742a3a&ref=submo
My lineup included:
The summoner: Tarsa
Tarsa buffs all of my melee attackers
The Tank: Living Lava
Living Lava hits hard. It's can be hard to connect with my opponent's Serpent, but it was enough this time around. Living Lava also does a supreme job of taking a hit.
First position: Radiated Brute
The reach ability allows Radiated Brute to swing for my opponent's serpent and alos hits pretty hard in combination with Tarsa.
Second position: Tenyii Striker
For the same cost as Radiated Brute, Tenyii Striker gets one more speed and one more health. I think the Sneak ability is generally stronger than Reach too. I generally add Tenyii Striker to my team before adding Radiated Brute, but some rulesets have room for both.
Third position: Serpentine Spy
Don't you hate it when you face off against another fire team and their Serpentine Spy kills yours before you even get to take a shot.
Fourth position: Uraeus
I will sometimes pick Uraeus over Serpentine Spy for this type of lineup because it can take a hit with that one armor. Like I said, sometimes there's room for both.
Final position: Lava Spider
I've made it a point to use this monster more often since it was featured in the weekly battle challenge a few weeks back.
Did my strategy work?
Yes, I won a close match this time.
What will I try differently next time?
I was happy with my lineup and very happy with the outcome. The fire splinter is great but doesn't often lineup well against Tarsa. I'm not sure what I would change about this lineup.
Do I like Radiated Brute?
I think the Radiated Brute is useful in some corner cases but generally gets overshadowed by the Tenyii Striker.
