This is one of my most remarkable strategies, and I would be delighted if you could identify any flaws or areas for improvement within it, as this would allow me to refine it even further. So, please don't forget to share your suggestions in the comments section.
Over the past 2–3 seasons—particularly in the Silver League (Tier 1) and Gold League battles—I noticed that my opponents began playing with Magic cards with increasing frequency. Specifically, they most often fielded teams built around the Water Element, led by the summoner Marlai Singariel. Their primary weapons—which frequently gave them the upper hand against me—were, obviously, the raw power of Magic attacks; the ability to slow down my cards using the Slow ability; and the ability to speed up their own cards using the Swiftness ability. Since Magic attacks bypass armor to deal direct damage to Health, this posed a significant problem. Furthermore, the disadvantage resulting from my cards being slowed down while theirs were sped up meant that, before my cards could even execute their first attacks, one or two members of my team would already have been knocked out.
Having learned from all of this, I increased my investment in the game. First, I purchased two dozen copies of Marlai Singariel and leveled her up to the maximum level. Next, I bought several cards—and rented a few others for testing purposes—to assemble this team. Let me now explain the strategy directly through this team composition: I possess a max-level Archon, which grants +1 Magic Power to all my magic cards.
Positioned at the very front is a common—yet powerful—melee card from the new Escalation set; in addition to its lethal attack capabilities, it serves to slow down the opponent. In the second and third positions, there is a pair of cards that provide training to non-attacking units. The Swiftness ability boosts the speed of all allied cards by +1, while the Triage ability allows these cards to restore up to one-third of their own health each round. In the fourth and fifth positions, there is another pair featuring a synergy between Electrified and Painforge; this interaction grants the Painforge card +1 Power with every shock it receives, while the Swiftness ability once again increases the speed of all cards by +1. Finally, in the last position, stands a ranged attacker whose Silence ability reduces the attack power of all magic cards on the opposing team by -1.
To summarize briefly: I have slowed down the enemy, reduced their attack power by -1, boosted the speed of my own cards, and effectively "weaponized" my entire lineup—ensuring that every card can utilize its attacks to the fullest potential. Furthermore, my team maintains a well-balanced distribution across all three attack types.🔥
I have been utilizing this strategy for the past week, and so far, it has performed exceptionally well—even in battles where the opponent fielded a team utilizing a power other than Magic. The advantage here is that, while you may not be able to utilize the power of your cards' "Silence" ability, your cards will be significantly faster; this ensures you gain the upper hand by executing the first attacks. Furthermore, backed by the superiority of their Magic power, your cards will be able to unleash more potent attacks that target the enemy's health directly. With the enemy slowed down, your cards will effectively empower one another—making this an excellent strategy suitable for any type of "weather" condition within Splinterlands. I invite you to share your thoughts on this; the more I have tested this strategy, the more it has pleasantly surprised me. However, there is always room for improvement, and it is possible that by learning from your comments, I may be able to refine it even further.
